The Flash: New Images of Jesse Quick in Costume
Now that Harrison Wells' daughter, Jesse (Violett Beane), has finally gained speed powers on The Flash, it's time for her to fully embrace her comics persona of Jesse Quick. And to do that, she'll need a super suit!
New photos have been released from the next episode of The Flash, called "The New Rogues," showing Jesse wearing the new suit her father gave her at the end of the last episode, as she joins Barry in battle. This busy episode also sees the return of Wentworth Miller as Captain Cold (though how, given his status on Legends of Tomorrow, is a big question) and the debut of one of the Flash's other main comic book enemies on the show for the first time, as Mirror Master (Grey Damon) arrives, along with Top (Ashley Rickards).

New WWE Comic Is Like X-Men and Friday Night Lights
With BOOM! Studios teaming up with WWE Publishing to launch a new WWE ongoing comic book series (out January 2017), we speared writer Dennis Hopeless into the corner turnbuckle, suplexed him off the top rope, and put him into the Disarmer until he agreed to answer some questions about what he's planning for the new comic.
You might know Hopeless from his Marvel Comics work on Avengers Arena and its followup Avengers Undercover, Spider-Woman, and All-New X-Men. He talked about how he was inspired by Friday Night Lights and used the same storytelling style as his X-Men: Season One graphic novel.

Here’s ‘Old Man’ Logan from Wolverine 3
Logan filmmaker James Mangold has revealed the first image of Hugh Jackman's older and scarred Wolverine from the film.
On Twitter, Mangold shared the Wolverine photo. He appears grizzled in Logan, with his wounds not quite healing like they used to when he was younger. That hints at his mutant powers not being as strong as they once were. The look and film are obviously riffing on the Old Man Logan comics story.

Smite Tactics will feature turn-based strategy gameplay, which has players directing gods and minions across the battlefield with the goal of leading their team to victory. Before battle, players will create their armies using an assortment of collectible cards.

Halo Wars 2 Hands-On: Expect the Unexpected
For the first time since Halo 3: ODST in 2009, I don’t know what to expect from a new Halo game. Halo 5 had its narrative surprises, of course, but in the end it was still a strong, impressive shooter with great co-op, fantastic multiplayer, and all the bells and whistles that come with Microsoft’s flagship title. It was the Halo we know and expect.
Halo Wars 2 has the freedom to try something else.
By the time it launches in February 2017, there will be eight years of distance between Halo Wars 2 and the original. The RTS genre isn’t exactly booming right now either, so there aren’t a lot of modern mechanics or conventions to keep pace with. Its story, which takes place about six months after Halo 5, includes characters who don’t know much about Master Chief’s deeds, successes, and failures in the war against the Covenant. Its main villain is, perhaps aside from The Arbiter, the only villain in Halo I’ve cared about as more than a bullet sponge. One of its major modes, Blitz, is heavily influenced by collectible card games and strips away most of the plate spinning involved in RTS combat. Even the music is a bit of a departure, with much more brass joining the now iconic strings and “space monk” vocals.
