Where the Infinity Stones Are Now In Marvel Comics
With Avengers: Infinity War hitting theaters featuring a story where Earth’s mightiest heroes try to stop Thanos from collecting all of the Infinity Stones, it won’t surprise you to hear that the folks at Marvel Comics are also rolling out a big story featuring those rainbow-colored rocks. Titled "Infinity Wars," it will also see various characters banning together in a massive conflict centered around the Infinity Stones.
As you may know, the powerful MacGuffins used to be called “Infinity Gems” in the comics, but thanks to 2015’s Secret Wars storyline that rejiggered the Marvel Universe, they were reintroduced as the “Infinity Stones” due to a power far greater than any force in the cosmos: corporate synergy. The colors have been switched up to match the movies, too.

Nintendo’s 8 Mystery Labo Toy-Con that are Still MIA
Just like Nintendo's biggest franchises (Zelda, Mario, and Pokémon) Labo’s Toy-Con deserve all of the attention it’s inevitably going to receive. As of its Friday launch last week, we now have six different Toy-Con: the RC car, Fishing Rod, House, Motorbike, Piano, and Robot suit. But Nintendo’s reveal trailer showcased at least eight more Toy-Con that we’ve yet to see since then. In lieu of their availability, I put together a few ideas of how we think these eight mystery Toy-Con could work with Switch.
Okay, it's a fun looking bird -- I’ll give it that. But how in the world does Nintendo plan on turning a cardboard bird into an enjoyable play experience on Switch?

Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss recorded audio commentary for one of the most well-known Rick and Morty episodes, "Pickle Rick."
Entertainment Weekly reports Benioff, Weiss, and Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage offered their takes on the fan-favorite episode. "Pickle Rick" follows Rick turning himself into a pickle to avoid going to family counseling with Morty, Beth, and Summer.
Benioff calls the monologue Rick gives to the family therapist “maybe the best writing in 2017.” Meanwhile, Weiss says it's “the perfect Rick monologue followed by an even better Rick monologue.” The showrunners have long been fans of the critically-acclaimed series.

Marvel Studios Considering Nova, Eternals Movies
Marvel Studios president and producer Kevin Feige has confirmed the studio is looking into making movies based on Nova and the Eternals.
"Eternals is one of many many many things that we are actively beginning to have creative discussions about to see if we believe in them enough to put them on a slate," Feige told TheWrap.
Additionally, insiders told the outlet that several screenwriters have met with the studio and been asked to come up with a story centered around Sersi, a fourth generation member of the Eternals—a race of ancient humans created by the Celestials.
Feige noted that while the majority of the studio's efforts right now are focused on Infinity War, Captain Marvel, Ant-Man and the Wasp, and Avengers 4, they're also doing a bit of planning for what's to come after Phase 3 and gearing up to shoot the globe-trotting sequel to Spider-Man: Homecoming in July, which kicks off Phase 4 of the MCU and will be a return to normal life after Avengers 4.
