Is Conan the Barbarian Joining the Avengers?
Conan the Barbarian is returning to Marvel Comics in 2019, and Marvel isn't wasting much time before putting the Cimmerian warrior in the path of the Avengers.
This unlikely team-up was revealed in the solicitation for Avengers: No Road Home #6. Based on the solicit text, it sounds as though the Scarlet Witch will bring the team back in time to the mythical Hyborian Age and join forces with Conan to battle the Night Queen.

What Is Captain America’s Plan in Avengers: Endgame?
As if life in the post-Infinity War world weren't already complicated and terrifying enough, the first trailer for Avengers: Endgame has only served to make things seem even more daunting. With even more questions and very few answers to go around, we've been left to start speculating wildly about the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe -- and we keep circling back to one very specific moment in the trailer as a jumping off point. Scott Lang has apparently returned from the Quantum Realm in one piece -- and he's arrived at the Avengers compound with his Quantum Tunnel-toting van in tow, which we’re guessing will play a key role in finding a way to defeat Thanos.
The surviving Avengers are, demonstratively, pretty down and out at the start of Endgame. They lost the fight in spectacular fashion and have no Infinity Stones to their name, no real magic users to speak of save Thor who, honestly, seems a little worse-for-wear in the trailer, and no real resources at their disposal. But, Steve and Natasha have a plan -- and, though it's clearly a Hail Mary play, it's certainly better than nothing. Using what we know based on what little we have, it's not a total stretch to say that the Quantum tech in Scott's van is really the only potential ace in the hole Steve and Nat have at the moment, and, because getting really, really small probably isn't a great combat advantage, given the circumstances, it's more likely that there's something else in play here.

Is Shuri Dead or Alive in Avengers: Endgame?
As expected, the first trailer for Avengers: Endgame leaves us with many more questions than answers - like, "who's going to rescue Tony Stark from a depressing death in space?" and "how did Ant-Man escape the Quantum Realm" considering that Hope, Hank, and Janet all disintegrated at the end of Ant-Man and the Wasp?
New Ghost in the Shell Anime Coming to Netflix

Epic’s Store Is the First Real Threat to Steam
This article was originally published on Dec 7, 2018 after the Epic Games Store's launch, but has been repromoted and updated in light of news that The Division 2 will launch on Epic's platform instead of Steam.
Fortnite developer Epic Games announced and then launched a digital storefront housed in the Epic Games Launcher last month, as apparently that’s the trendy thing to do nowadays with Discord launched its own back in October. But despite the competition, the Epic Games Store feels like the first real threat to Steam’s dominance as the go-to place to buy PC games.
