My Hero Academia Season 4 Confirmed
The hit anime series My Hero Academia is getting a fourth season.
Season 4 was confirmed at the end of the Season 3 finale, "Unrivaled," which aired today. "My Hero Academia, TV anime season four, is being made!" reads the subtitled version of the finale on Crunchyroll. Check out the gallery below to see the announcement.
A premiere date for Season 4 has yet to be announced, with the episode's end card simply saying, "coming soon."
Given the series' incredible success, news of a fourth season is hardly surprising. Season 2 was IGN's 2017 Anime of the Year and Season 3 earned a spot on our list of the 6 best anime of 2018 so far.
Why the PS4 Spider-Man Deserves His Own Comic
Marvel Comics released Spider-Geddon #0 this week. While that comic serves as a direct lead-in to the upcoming Spider-Geddon crossover, that's by no means the only selling point. Spider-Geddon #0 is notable for serving as the comic book debut of the Peter Parker of Marvel's Spider-Man video game on PS4. And if this issue accomplished anything, it's showing how much potential this version of Spidey has for his own ongoing comic book series.
Warning: spoilers for Marvel's Spider-Man on PS4 ahead!
It's easy to dismiss the need for a Spider-Man comic set in this game's version of the Marvel universe. Marvel has an overabundance of Spider-Man comics as it is, with books spotlighting the classic Peter Parker as well as offshoot characters like Spider-Gwen, Scarlet Spider and Venom. There's even an alternate universe version of Spidey in Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows. Is Insomniac's take on Spider-Man truly different enough to stand out when you cut the gameplay out of the equation and focus solely on story?

PSX 2018 Isn’t Happening, But Maybe That’s a Good Thing for PlayStation
For the last several years, PlayStation has found a way to continue the conference hype of E3, Paris Games Week, and TGS months after the fact, with PlayStation Experience serving as another home for big reveals. And while the confirmation that there will be no PSX 2018 is a bummer for PlayStation fans, myself included, Sony’s behavior over the last year is indicative of the fact that they don’t need PSX to deliver important news or celebrate big releases.
While PSX allows fans to come together and demo tons of upcoming and recently released PlayStation games, its place as a centerpiece for the entire PlayStation community is waning given Sony’s recent strategy and last year’s underwhelming show.
Wonder Woman’s New Power Comes From a Dark Place
The new Justice League Dark comic series by writer James Tynion IV and artist Alvaro Martinez is only three issues in, but it’s already had a huge impact on Wonder Woman in the form of a new power that comes from a scary event in her past.
Warning: full spoilers for Justice League Dark ahead!

We learn that all magic in the universe came from somewhere, and now something evil wants to take it back. Eventually the team comes face-to-face with the one responsible, an incredibly strong creature made of pure magic called the Upside-Down Man.
Joker Set Photo Suggests the DC Movie Inspired by This Film
While The King of Comedy is a widely reported inspiration for the Joker origin movie, new clues from the set hint that another Martin Scorsese/Robert De Niro classic -- Taxi Driver -- could also be an influence.
The King of Comedy and Taxi Driver are both profiles of deranged and broken men, delusional urban loners who criminally lash out at those they feel have rejected them, and the Joker movie -- penned by director Todd Phillips (the Hangover trilogy) and co-screenwriter Scott Silver (8 Mile, The Fighter) -- certainly sounds like it’s in a similar vein. The official plot synopsis for Joker describes Joaquin Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck as “a man disregarded by society” and the DC film as “not only a gritty character study, but also a broader cautionary tale.”
