How the Russo Brothers Brought Deadly Class to TV
Rick Remender knew what he wanted when he created his graphic novel, Deadly Class (with art by Wesley Craig), and he wasn’t about to compromise that vision for TV. “I said, ‘look, I'm not handing this over. I'm going to be writing it and running it and doing all the music.’” And that’s exactly what Syfy and his producing partners, the Russo Brothers (you may know them from those tiny little Avengers films), let him do.
Deadly Class is the ‘80s-set story of orphan Marcus Lopez Arguello (Benjamin Wadsworth) and his classmates at King’s Dominion High School for the Deadly Arts. A training ground for the deadliest assassins in the world, run by the mysterious Master Lin (Benedict Wong), Marcus must survive not only his lessons, but his classmates, and the people seemingly always out to get him after he burned down his old orphanage. Oh yeah, and Marcus — by the way — wants to kill Ronald Reagan. (It’s a whole thing.)

Just when I thought I was out of the amiibo game, Nintendo pulled me back. The newer amiibo are so much more detailed, and delightful, than the original releases, and they're perfect collectibles for any video game fan. I don't have all of them, but I do have a substantial, and growing, collection. If you're like me, you struggle with amiibo addiction, but also, you still give in to it.
We're still waiting on availability for the Super Smash Bros. versions of Pichu, Daisy, Ken, Simon Belmont, Richter Belmont, Chrom, and Dark Samus. The first wave of new amiibo, including Inkling Girl, Wolf, and Ridley, came out at the start of December. If you didn't grab them, or the Octoling 3-pack, there's still hope. The Octoling 3-pack is on Amazon and GameStop. You can also find Ridley in-stock at Amazon and GameStop. The Inkling Girl Smash Bros. amiibo is at GameStop, and you can grab the Wolf amiibo at Best Buy.
