Helldivers 2 Hits Xbox & The Walking Dead Invades Dead By Daylight
Follow-ups/Corrections
Stop Killing Games - EU Petition has surpassed the 1M threshold. The organization seeks to get more signatures just in case some of the existing ones are invalid. The deadline is July 31. To be clear the initiative is not calling for devs to support their titles in perpetuity, it simply is calling for the sundowning of games so they still can function without a connection to the now defunct servers.
Helldivers 2 - FINALLY coming to XBox on Aug 26.

This time, instead of Reed of Earth-1610 being tricked by another Reed of Earth-2149 into opening a portal to effectively a zombie world, the first family’s story mirrors their first appearance in ‘61 in that they go to space and get powers. This time though, they get powers AND get infected.

Suggests
Age
of Apocalypse
Imagine
a world where Charles Xavier is dead, Apocalypse rules with an iron
fist, and the X-Men are scrappy rebels fighting for mutantkind’s
survival. X-Men: Age of Apocalypse (1995) is the ultimate dystopian
superhero saga, a 30-year-old classic that’s just as brutal and
gripping today. Magneto leads a ragtag resistance, Wolverine’s a
one-handed badass, and Cyclops is—get this—Apocalypse’s
enforcer. This alternate-reality epic spans X-Men Alpha, X-Men Omega,
and killer miniseries like Factor X, delivering high-octane action,
heart-wrenching betrayals, and ’90s art that pops (shoutout to
Roger Cruz and Adam Kubert). With X-Men: Age of Revelation dropping
in October 2025, echoing this vibe with Doug Ramsey’s wild new
role, there’s no better time to dive into this game-changer. It’s
the blueprint for dark, world-shattering X-Men stories, perfect for
fans of sci-fi chaos and superhero grit.
Why You’ll Love It: It’s a lean, intense ride with stakes that hit like a Sentinel’s fist. From Jean Grey and Wolverine’s doomed romance to Magneto’s desperate leadership, it’s got all the feels and thrills you’d geek out over at Comic-Con. Plus, it’s a self-contained story—no need to slog through decades of X-Men lore.
Where to Read It:
Marvel Unlimited: Subscribers can access the full X-Men: Age of Apocalypse collection, including X-Men Alpha #1, X-Men Omega #1, and tie-ins like Factor X and Weapon X. Search “Age of Apocalypse” in the app or on marvel.com.
Comixology: Available for Kindle or Comixology Unlimited subscribers, with the X-Men: Age of Apocalypse – The Complete Epic trade paperback or individual issues.
Hoopla: Free with a library card on many public library systems—check hoopladigital.com for the collected editions.
Grab it digitally, binge it, and get ready to lose yourself in a mutant apocalypse that’ll leave you pumped for Age of Revelation. Trust me, you won’t put it down!

Nacelle is an animation company founded by Brian Volk-Weiss, who is the series director and creator of The Toys That Made Us on Netflix. No word on where the series wil air, but my money is on Netflix.

Millennium - Imagine X-Files meets Se7en. Millennium, Chris Carter’s 90s cult classic, follows Frank Black, a haunted FBI profiler (Lance Henriksen at his best) who sees into killers’ minds while battling apocalyptic evil with the shadowy Millennium Group. It’s gritty, psychological, and dripping with Y2K dread—perfect for fans of True Detective or Hannibal. Three seasons of creepy, smart storytelling await. Stream it on Amazon Prime, Tubi, or grab the DVDs for that retro fix. Ready to dive into the darkness?

Rumor Mill
MCU Rumors: Daredevil In Danger & LOTS of Fallout Coming?
New Rumors
Daredevil - Season 2 might be all she wrote. D’Onofrio claims that if the viewership isn’t there then that will be the outcome.
Transformers X G.I. Joe - Now the rumor is that Robert Kirkman will be helming an animated series in the Energon universe. Said to be officially announcing the show at SDCC.
Tiktok - ByteDance is rumored to be working on a second “American Only” version of the app, set for launch next March. Which would work around the US ban. Though, if true, this would mean that Trump’s comment on having lined up a buyer is inaccurate.
Fallout - Reportedly, Bethesda is working on multiple Fallout projects. No specifics as to what or how many, but there is reason to believe that NONE of them are planned to launch with season 2 of the Prime show.
Blackheart - The Marvel character of Blackheart (Mephisto’s son) is reported to be appearing in the Ghost Rider Project. Also looking at introducing Chthon (the author of the Darkhold) to the MCU as well.
MCU - Norman Osborn being planned for a future project.
