Captain Marvel was dead, to begin with. More than one Captain Marvel, if we want to be perfectly accurate about it. By 2012, the Marvel Comics hero that bore the company name had been relaunched in no fewer than six different series, and seen a total of three separate characters take on the name.

“The past is a foreign country” has finally become part of my present. I’ve just read LP Hartley’s 1953 novel The Go-Between for the first time, a book everyone else my age read at least 45 years ago. I’d seen the film and that seemed to be enough. And then, a few weeks ago, I came across a seductive Penguin edition in a secondhand bookshop in Edinburgh and became curious to find out what I’d been missing.A book about a boy becoming initiated into the mysteries of adult life (sex and its frequent thematic partner,…

The Game Awards are more popular than ever The Game Awards actually turned out to be a good show this time around, at least compared to previous years, and it seems the fans agree — Geoff Keighley announced via his Twitter that The Game Awards in 2022 “hit a new viewership milestone” of “103 million livestreams,” making it “the most-watched Game Awards in history.” Keighley goes on to detail some of the stats in the thread under his tweet, including that Twitter’s stream of the event was a hit this year with 11.5…

Despite the fact that games were starting to mature and push narrative boundaries at the time, the medium still struggled to be taken seriously at a mainstream level.
