The Umbrella Academy Season 2 Will Premiere in July
An adaptation of Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá's comic book series ofthe same name, The Umbrella Academy follows the lives of a dysfunctional family of superheroes. It proved a huge hit for Netflix, which reported that 45 million households had watched the show, and quickly ordered a second season. We awarded the first season an 8.5 review, calling it "hilariously twisted, subversively stylish, and surprisingly poignant". We named it as one of the best new TV series of 2019, and one of the best comic book series - it was named the IGN's People's Choice in both categories. We've seen very little of the second season so far, but we did get a peek at some stylish character posters: [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-umbrella-academy-season-2-posters&captions=true"] If you've never watched The Umbrella Academy, we've got an explainer for you. If you have, you might need a refresher on the last series' huge ending, and we've got that too. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Joe Skrebels is IGN's Executive Editor of News.

Madden Championship Won Without Playing a Quarterback
Raidel “Joke” Brito has won this year’s Madden Bowl, along with its $65,000 reward, by not running a single pass play or even putting a recognised quarterback on the field.
As USA Today reports, a salary cap draft structure was used in EA’s flagship tournament for players to build their rosters, but instead of going big on playmakers, Brito splashed out on a dominant defense and overpowering offensive line, neglecting the sport’s most important position completely.
As a result he lined up with Washington Redskins punter Tress Way under center and shut out his opponent 17-0 in the Madden Bowl as he ran, and ran, and ran his way to victory.

While it’s too early to say if this win will signal a new long-term tactic in the professional Madden arena, it’s sure that the bizarre manner of Brito’s victory will go down in the history books.
Given EA's pursuit of a perfect simulation of the game, it's unlikely the developers will be hugely pleased that someone's won a major tournament in such an unlikely way. We've contacted EA Sports to get the studio's take on Joke's victory, and whether it could even make changes to the game to stop it from happening in future.
One person that won't be hoping this is becomes a regular occurrence is Kansas City Chief's QB Patrick Mahomes, who features in the announcement trailer for Madden 21.

"Bill's tweet to @TroyBakerVA was an acknowledgement of their shared desire about creating said game & he apologises for any confusion his tweet created," Rosemann's tweet reads. Much ado about nothing then... but at least this fuss has made it clear to Marvel that the fan demand for a Daredevil game is there. You know what they say - speak of the devil, and he shall appear! For more on Daredevil, check out our piece surrounding the rumours that the masked crusader might appear in the next Spider-Man film.
