Towers: 3 Hi-Res Screenshots from the Gorgeous Prototype

In an age where dozens of new games pop up every day, the reveal trailer for Towers has still managed to turn a whole lot of heads. Though what’s shown is still early, made by a core team of six developers in just one year, it’s already wowed a bunch of people, and we’ve got three more exclusive screenshots of it.

Towers is a multiplayer game about exploring and building in a mystical open world. It has immediately drawn comparisons to a Breath of the Wild thanks to the similar-looking glider and climbing mechanics, but the addition of multiplayer, farming, and even town-building stretches it far beyond that.

This Green Lantern Graphic Novel Is the Perfect Starting Point

As with so many long-running superhero comic books, it can be tough for new readers to know where to start with the Green Lantern franchise. The good news is that there's now a perfect option for readers wanting to dive into the world of Hal Jordan and experience the full scope of his cosmic adventures. Look no further than Green Lantern by Geoff Johns Book 1.

Whether you judge it by its sheer quality of its lasting impact on the larger franchise, Johns' Green Lantern run has rightfully become the gold standard for Green Lantern stories. This is the run that managed to not only redeem Hal Jordan following his corruption as Parallax, but make him a more dynamic and exciting hero than ever. Through stories like The Sinestro Corps War and Blackest Night, Johns and his collaborators introduced an entire spectrum of Lantern Corps and greatly expanded the mythology fueling the Green Lantern Corps.

Like Batman: Damned, Superman: Year One will be published in the form of three prestige format issues, with a trade paperback collection to follow.

You can check out cover images for all three issues and the collected edition below:

Superman: Year One is the latest DC story to reexamine the Man of Steel's origin story from a new perspective. However, this project is notable for reuniting Miller and Romita, who previously re-imagined Matt Murdock's early years on Daredevil: The Man Without Fear.
