Riot Games Sued for Gender-Based Discrimination
Riot Games has been sued by one current and one former employee and has been accused of "endemic gender-based discrimination and fostering a "men-first" environment."
As reported by Kotaku, the lawsuit follows another investigation by Kotaku that delved into a sexist culture at Riot Games, the publisher of titles such as League of Legends.
The class-action lawsuit filed against Riot Games states that, "like many of Riot Games’ female employees, Plaintiffs have been denied equal pay and found their careers stifled because they are women. Moreover, Plaintiffs have also seen their working conditions negatively impacted because of the ongoing sexual harassment, misconduct, and bias which predominate the sexually-hostile working environment of Riot Games."
Diablo: Immortal’s Reveal Was an Unnecessary Mess
Blizzard announced Diablo: Immortal at BlizzCon last Friday, spurring one of the angriest backlashes to a video game reveal I’ve ever seen. The Diablo community was expecting big news for the series (despite Blizzard’s attempts to temper those expectations) and instead it got a look at a mobile-only spinoff that didn’t do much to satisfy that hunger.
How Titans Is Setting Itself Apart From the Arrowverse
When Titans was first announced as the flagship show of the DC Universe streaming app, many fans wondered whether the series might be connected to The CW's Arrowverse. It wasn't an unreasonable question, given the involvement of Arrowverse bigwigs like Greg Berlanti and Geoff Johns. But if that controversial Comic-Con teaser trailer wasn't proof enough, the first few Titans episodes definitely made it clear that this new series isn't taking place in the same universe as shows like Arrow and The Flash.
That's not necessarily a bad thing, either. Little by little, the first season of Titans has been showing us why it's different from the Arrowverse and how it can carve its own niche in the ever-crowded superhero TV market. The debut of the Doom Patrol in episode 4 is key, giving us our first taste of what this wider shared universe will eventually become. Below, we explore how Titans is beginning to solidify its own live-action DCU and why the Doom Patrol represents such an important step for these shows.

Oddjob Is Now a Sexy Korean Secret Agent Rival to James Bond
The deadly, mute Bond villain known as Oddjob has been reinvented for the upcoming series from Dark Horse Comics and Dynamite Entertainment called James Bond 007. As it turns out, he’s no longer mute but is most certainly still deadly as writer Greg Pak has re-envisioned the character as a rival spy from Korea on par with James Bond himself.
“In the Goldfinger novel, he's a Korean assassin with a sweet bowler hat who's the most physically dangerous opponent Bond has ever faced. That's what I wanted to keep,” Pak told IGN on how he went about reconceptualizing the fan-favorite bad guy. “What I wanted to add is passion and heart and humor and sex appeal and cockiness and maybe even a touch of pathos. He's our Bond's greatest rival, both physically and, on a subtle level, emotionally. He challenges everything Bond thinks about the right way to move through the world, and vice versa.”

Why Is Venom Making Fun of Watchmen?
The creative team behind Marvel's current Venom comic have long been making the claim that their series is "better than Watchmen," but apparently they have the support of Watchmen co-creator Dave Gibbons himself.
In a surprise move, Gibbons has taken the time to draw a variant cover for the upcoming Venom #11 that directly parodies his iconic cover to Watchmen #1. Check it out below:
