Is Rick Still Alive in the Walking Dead Comics?
Warning: this article contains general spoilers for the current Walking Dead comics!
It's clear that things are changing in a big way for AMC's The Walking Dead. Yesterday the news broke that star Andrew Lincoln may be leaving the series at some point in the upcoming Season 9. According to Collider, Lincoln's Rick Grimes will only appear in six episodes total. Whether that means Rick is being killed off or somehow finding a happy ending amid the constant sea of misery that is life in the zombie apocalypse, this means that The Walking Dead will soon be without its main character.

Krypton’s Lobo Explained
With the strength of Superman and the attitude of Wolverine, it's little wonder that Lobo is one of the most popular characters in the DC Universe. And now this bad-a$$ space biker is due for a major popularity boost in the years ahead, as he's making his live-action debut on Syfy's Krypton, has a spin-off series in development at the network too, and he could also finally be getting his own movie.
Reports emerged in 2018 that Transformers director Michael Bay had met with Warner Bros. and DC about possibly directing a Lobo movie, and had also given the studio some notes on a rewrite of the film's script. This all means now is the perfect time to brush up on all things Lobo and learn why the Main Man has earned himself such a loyal following.

Every IGN Fallout Review
Today's new info on Fallout 76 got us all misty-eyed about all the Fallout games we've covered here at IGN. It's unfortunate that IGN hadn't caught on to the wisdom of covering PC games when the first Fallout arrived in 1997, but we were on the case by the arrival of Fallout 2 in 1998. And between the four "main" games (and New Vegas), their many DLC packs, and the various spinoffs, we've got a catalog of more than 20 reviews to look back on so we can see the impact they had at the moment our critics first experienced these post-nuclear (mostly) roleplaying games.
So suit up, find a companion, and journey into the history of IGN's Fallout reviews below.
How Fallout 3 Teases Where Fallout 76 May Be Set
Bethesda revealed Fallout 76, the latest entry in its RPG series, with a brief teaser trailer and very few details about the game. But thanks to the franchise's past, we may already have an idea of where Fallout 76 is set.
Yes, the teaser trailer opens with John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads," which mentions West Virginia, and it's very likely Fallout 76 could be set there. However, the game may extend outside the boundaries of just a single state, given some details from Fallout 3.
Where is Fallout 76 set?
A Vault-Tec terminal in Fallout 3's Citadel gives us a pretty solid idea for 76's location. The info on Vault 76 in the Citadel computer can be found under a section called “DC Area Vault Listings,” which is about as clear as it gets. Washington D.C., or at least that general vicinity if Bethesda doesn’t want Fallout 76 to exactly share a map with Fallout 3, may very likely be where some of the game is set.
New Skins, Emotes, and Gliders Datamined from Fortnite’s Latest Patch
Epic Games released the latest Fortnite patch this morning adding the Shopping Cart and consumable mushrooms, but a datamine of the update reveals new skins, emotes, gliders, and harvesting tools are on their way.
Just about everything for these new items has been unearthed from the depths of the new patch files except for a release date. Fortnite Intel has provided a first look for each unreleased cosmetic item while fnbr.co revealed the name and rarity for each new addition. In total, six new outfits, three new harvesting tools, three gliders, two pieces of back bling, and four emotes were discovered.
Fox Will Hold Shareholders Meeting to Determine Disney Sale
Fox reportedly is set to hold a shareholders meeting next month to determine whether or not the company decides to sell most of its assets to Disney.
Variety reports the meeting will take place on July 10. Several Fox investors will vote on the estimated $52.4 billion USD deal, which would likely see Disney acquiring Fox’s movie and TV studios, including the company's Marvel characters.
FLCL Recap: Everything You Need to Know Before Progressive Premieres
With so many years between now and its 2003 Adult Swim debut, FLCL feels more like a bizarre dream for those of us who only caught an episode here and there. Even dedicated viewers couldn't always make sense of Naota and Haruko’s wild adventures, but that didn’t stop the show from becoming a cult classic that fans continue to enjoy even today.
As production company Gainax moved on to other projects it seemed that the six-episode series would live on in isolation forever, that is until partner company Production I.G. bought the rights to FLCL from Gainax in 2015. Less than a year later, not one, but two sequel series were announced, the first of which (FLCL: Progressive) is set to release on June 2.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Was Announced “Without Consulting Anyone”
The sequel to cult survival horror S.T.A.L.K.E.R. was reportedly announced by its developer "without consulting anyone", and is still at the design document stage of development.
As reported by DTF and translated by IGN, Epic Games' Sergey Galyonkin said on his podcast that, "the head of
, Sergei Grygorovych announced the game without consulting with anyone".
Grygorovych apparently announced the game before E3 to demonstrate public interest to potential publishers, who could pick up the game at June's conference.
