Start Reading Our Favorite Comic Book of 2015 for Less Than $6
Brian K. Vaughan's Saga was our choice for the Best Comic Book Series of 2015, and the first volume (which contains issues 1 through 8) is only $5.64 right now. Saga has elements of Star Wars and Game of Thrones, and it moves at an incredible pace that makes it like an incredible read. While the first book is dirt cheap (others are around $10 each), I highly recommend the deluxe edition, which gives you eighteen issues in one hardcover volume. Whichever binding you choose, you won't be disappointed, but you will be wanting more.

One-Armed Arrow Takes Cue from Dark Knight
With Arrow’s Stephen Amell showing up in this week’s Legends of Tomorrow as an older, grittier version of Oliver Queen, some fans may be wondering where this future take on the Green Arrow came from. You’ll have to watch the episode, named "Star City 2046," for the specifics of the Arrowverse 30 years from now, but as for the inspiration behind this one-armed, goatee-sporting Arrow, read on.
This take on the future Oliver Queen is clearly based on the character as depicted in Frank Miller’s seminal series The Dark Knight Returns. Obviously the specifics of "Star City 2046" are different -- for one thing, there’s no Batman in this world as far as we can tell -- but the notion of an old Green Arrow with only one arm comes directly from Miller’s story.
Robert Kirkman, Skybound Announce Apocalyptic Korean Drama: Five Year
The Walking Dead executive producers Robert Kirkman and David Alpert are working on a new series together: a Korean drama based on an original story by Kirkman that will begin filming later in 2016.
Called Five Year, the series will be a partnership between Kirkman and Alpert's Skybound Entertainment and global TV site Viki.com. Five Year will be filmed for broadcast TV in Korea, but will be made available worldwide through the Viki.com platform.
The first season will be 16 episodes long, and Five Year is intended to run for five seasons. The show tells the story of a family set against the backdrop of a deadly meteor heading to Earth and the threat of the impending apocalypse hanging over humanity's heads.
Top 30 Best Picture Winners
Oscar fever is in the air, with the 88th Academy Awards being held this Sunday, February 28. For 88 years, the Oscars have rewarded the best films with golden statues that immortalize their quality and importance to the history of cinema. While there are certainly some Best Picture recipients that plenty of people would take issue with, there are even more movies that are undeniably deserving of the Academy’s highest honor.
To celebrate our excitement for Oscar Sunday, we thought we’d take a look at the Top 30 Best Picture Winners of all-time.
In an era when Hollywood was still blossoming, All Quiet on the Western Front showcased the artistic and historical possibilities of the cinema, creating one of the most realistic depictions of war on film at the time. The movie has been immeasurably influential on the works of later filmmakers (Steven Spielberg has credited the movie as an inspiration for Saving Private Ryan) let alone the genre of war films itself. It caused some controversy internationally, but domestically, the movie was rewarded with Best Picture and Best Director Oscars.
Rocket League Gets the Batmobile in March

Batman's battle-car will be available in-game on March 8, and it looks awesome. The trailer shows the Batmobile tearing up the field, with a massive Bat Symbol explosion after scoring. Rocket League's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice car pack will also include three exclusive antenna flags—one each for Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman.
On its official Twitter account, Psyonix announced the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice car pack will cost $2 USD. Rocket League's new content is expected to release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
New Trademark Spotted for Alan Wake
A new trademark has been spotted for Alan Wake.
Via a post on NeoGAF, the trademark in question was for “Alan Wake’s Return,” and was filed on February 23.
This isn’t the first time Remedy has discussed a follow-up. Back in April, the studio's creative director Sam Lake said the following:
"For Alan Wake, from the get-go, we assumed there was going to be a sequel and we mapped things further out when it came to character, story, details and focus changes," said Lake. "We knew we would have to iterate and refine, but there was always a rough road map there.”
