Thanos’ Black Order Rally for New Marvel Series
The Black Order, Thanos' personal squad of super villains, is getting its own limited comic series.
As reported by CBR, the limited series will simply be called Black Order, and it is being worked on by writer Derek Landy and artist Philip Tan. The first of five issues in this limited series, Black Order #1 goes on sale November 7.
Also known as the Cull Obsidian, the Black Order is comprised of Corvus Glaive, Proxima Midnight, Black Swan, Ebony Maw and Black Dwarf, and in the limited series they are following commands of the Grandmaster (notably portrayed by Jeff Goldblum in Thor: Ragnarok). However, they may just encounter an even more menacing figure on their mission.
Planet With Takes Typical Anime Tropes and Makes Them Great
Aliens. Cat mascots. Robots. Maid girls. What’s the first word that comes to your mind when you think of anime?
Lately for me, it’s been the show Planet With, streaming on Crunchyroll this season.
Planet With, in many ways, reminds me of the chuuni anime that aired back in the 2000s: the ones filled with high fantasy, big stakes, and a large cast of complicated friendships. Remember the times of Inuyasha, Code Geass, and Fullmetal Alchemist? Each one of these shows revelled in the unordinary and embraced the joy of being a variety of genres. Romance, drama, mystery - you name it, and these shows had it. But they also weren’t afraid of tackling the utter bizarre. The main character of Inuyasha is a dog demon? Check. In Fullmetal Alchemist, one of the companions is a tiny panda? Sure. Why not wield a power in only one eye? Code Geass wasn’t afraid to.
Fast and Furious: Paul Walker’s Brothers Hope to Bring His Character Back
Paul Walker's brothers want to bring his Fast and Furious character back in a cameo role.
Speaking to the AP, Caleb and Cody Walker opened up about their desire to once again portray Paul Walker's character Brian O'Conner so he could "save the day."
“I just hope we get to — I don’t know — have a little cameo and bring Paul back to save the day and I get to help create that again,” Caleb Walker said. “That’s my dream and I hope we get to do that in one of the future movies.”
Paul Walker died in an off-set car crash in November 2013 before filming on Furious 7 was finished. Caleb and Cody Walker had to step in and film the rest of Paul Walker's scenes, with their late brother's face digitally superimposed onto their performances.

You’ve spent years building your beastly gaming setup, and a normal one-sided desk just won’t cut it anymore. Maybe you have too much gear to fit on one surface, or perhaps you need a gear-free space for writing. Whatever the reason, you need a big, L-shaped corner desk—and I'm here to help you find one.
Rounding up the best furniture is tricky. There are more great desks in the world than I could possibly list here, and you can probably find something solid by searching your neighborhood Craigslist (not to mention the notion of DIY projects). But if you're looking for something a little more modern and want it shipped right to your door, here are some good starting suggestions.
Everything Coming to Disney’s Streaming Service (So Far)
Lately it seems like we can't go more than a week or two without a studio announcing their own dedicated streaming service. Everyone wants their own answer to Netflix, but competing with Netflix's massive library of original content is easier said than done.
But if any studio has the library and the resources to out-Netflix Netflix, it's Disney. From exclusive new TV series to blockbuster Marvel and Star Wars movies to the newly acquired 21st Century Fox lineup, Disney's upcoming streaming service, Disney+, will have plenty to offer. Check out our slideshow or scroll down to find out everything that will be included (that we know about so far).

Director Casts a Robot as First Lead in a Movie
American History X director Tony Kaye is casting a robot as a lead in his next movie.
Deadline reports the artificially intelligent robot will play the lead in Kaye's upcoming indie comedy 2nd Born, a sequel to 1st Born. The robot will receive training in various acting methods to prepare for the role.

Total War: Three Kingdoms Is the Most Hero-Focused Total War Ever
The moon casts a surreal, blue glow over the battlefield. The scions of the powerful Sun clan, Sun Ren and Sun Quan, are ill at ease. Their misgivings are proven warranted when the orange glow of paper lanterns floating above the trees signals an ambush from the nearby woods, catching the small army they are leading off-guard. I have little time to take stock of my forces and choose whether to stand and fight, or sacrifice some of my troops in a delaying action so the rest can make it to an extraction point on the far side of a nearby river.
The grand-scale, historical Total War series has been looking for new ways to reinvent itself each outing for the better part of the last 20 years, and Three Kingdoms attacks this objective from more angles than simply moving the setting to 200s CE China. As the ambush battle I commanded aptly demonstrated, this is a tale all about characters – even more so than the hero-centric Total War: Warhammer games.
