Writer Danny Lore and artist Luciano Vecchio take over Marvel's Champions ongoing comic book series this month, and they've inherited the teen team at a time where teen heroes have been deemed illegal by the federal government... and now, private corporations are looking to make it worse. Beginning in April 21's Champions #6 with a story arc titled 'Killer App,' the Champions are looking for a way to combat one of the long-time evil corporations in the Marvel U, Roxxon, that has created a mobile app intended to keep impressionable people on their side - and against any chance of teen superheroes operating within the law. Before their debut in Champions #6, Newsarama spoke with Lore and Vecchio about taking over the teen title, dealing with the ramifications of a ban on teen superheroes, and what other bucket list teen heroes they'd like to include in the book. Newsarama: Danny, Luciano, what made you want to join Champions? What do you enjoy about the team? Luciano … [Read more...] about Marvel’s Champions find a way to punch an evil mobile app by punching the company behind it

Positive Influence This article first appeared in PC Gamer magazine issue 354 in March 2021 as part of our 'Positive Influence' series, where every month we chat to a different developer about the inspirations and unexpected connections behind their work. I have no idea where we'd be without Sid Meier's Civilization. Its influence has been an overwhelming constant for decades, defining generations of strategy games and developers. If Sid Meier and Bruce Shelley hadn't decided to let Napoleon, Montezuma, and Alexander the Great duke it out, swallowing up the world and dropping nukes on each other, a huge chunk of gaming history would never have happened. Turn-based strategy existed long before Civ, but it's Civ's brand of turn-based strategy that became the model that most of the genre ended up following. It's not just 4X games that owe almost everything to Civ. You can't help but stumble across its DNA everywhere, whether you're playing Crusader Kings, Total War, or Age … [Read more...] about PC gaming would look very different without Civilization

Mass Effect Legendary Edition is set to release in just over a month, and the remastered trilogy's project director Mac Walters has announced that it has gone gold. That means there is very little chance it's going to get bumped from its May 14 release date. Mass Effect Legendary Edition has gone GOLD! It's been quite a journey - time to celebrate briefly. Maybe even dance a little... if that's you're thing. #MassEffect #Legendary pic.twitter.com/cvDmGjFrSi — Mac Walters (@macwalterslives) April 9, 2021 Walters celebrated the occasion with a clip of several Mass Effect characters dancing, including meme legend Garrus Vakarian. When a game "goes gold," it essentially means that its code is finalized to the point where it can be put onto discs and shipped. However, because we live in an era of content updates and patches, it doesn't really mean as much as it used to. BioWare could choose to replace huge amounts of the game's code in the future if it wanted to change … [Read more...] about Mass Effect Legendary Edition Goes Gold Ahead Of May 14 Launch
