DC Comics Pulls the Plug on Cyborg
DC Comics has canceled its monthly Cyborg comic, according to writer Marv Wolfman. The recently released Cyborg #23 will serve as the series' final issue, with the previously solicited Cyborg #24 and #25 being canceled.
This marks the second time the series has been put on the chopping block in 2018. It previously ended with issue #20 in January before unexpectedly returning in April with Wolfman (who co-created the character in 1980) installed as the new writer. Unfortunately, that second lease on life didn't last very long.

Atari’s New Console Under Fire Again As Crowdfunding Campaign Nears End
Atari’s upcoming VCS system has recently garnered more negative attention as its crowdfunding campaign nears its end.
Responding to concerns raised by an article from The Register written in March during GDC, Atari recently referred to the author as an “irresponsible troll” on its Facebook page. The Register article panned Atari for its inability, or lack of willingness, to answer seemingly basic questions about the VCS during an interview.
Atari’s Facebook post responded by pointing out the piece was written about a nonfunctional design model, also saying The Register author “wrote what he wanted instead of what was discussed with him.” The Register rebutted yesterday by posting audio from their GDC interview backing up their statements.
Eternals: Millie Bobby Brown & Angelina Jolie’s Marvel Movie Explained
Even with all the characters introduced in the first decade of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, these movies have barely scratched the surface of what's out there. And it looks like Phase 4 of the MCU is adding another major new franchise: The Eternals. We've met Thanos, but what about the rest of his people?
Reports indicate that The Rider director Chloe Zhao will direct Marvel's The Eternals and none other than Angelina Jolie is in talks to star in the film. (Could she be playing the Eternal known as Sersi? Some fans think so!) Also reportedly cast in the film are Millie Bobby Brown, Kumail Nanjiani, and Richard Madden. But who exactly are the Eternals? Let's dig into their comics history and how they fit into the grand scheme of the Marvel Universe.

Based on our hands-on testing, the Corsair Harpoon RGB is the best cheap gaming mouse (See it on Amazon). It has great features, is supremely accurate, and at just $30 it's a legit steal. We came to this conclusion by rounding up all the "budget" mice we could find from the most notable companies and putting them through a crucible of hand-on testing and full-length reviews. After the smoke cleared and our RSI was treated, we hoisted the Corsair Harpoon onto the top step of the podium due to its overall excellence. It's truly the complete package, assuming you're a right-handed gamer. If you're left-handed, or just prefer an ambidextrous mouse go for the Razer Abyssus V2 (See it on Amazon).
