If you were researching comics history and you asked Wikipedia for its opinion, you’d see posits that the publication of Watchmen creates a modern, more sophisticated age of comics overnight that is still in place today. This is a commonly held sentiment and is also is massively wrong. Go pick up an issue of Watchmen, […]

Hasbro has signed a deal with Epic Games to produce a whole range of Fortnite branded goodies. There will be some Fortnite NERG Blasters next year and that’s a great match-up for the franchise.
