Arrowverse: What Is Earth-X?
Most DC fans are very familiar with the concept of the multiverse by now. There's not just one Earth protected by heroes like Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and the Flash, but infinite worlds that each play host to their own heroes and villains. And this week, the Arrowverse is going to introduce fans to one of the lesser-known branches of the DC multiverse - Earth-X.
What is Earth-X, and why do its defenders want to go to war with the heroes of Flash, Arrow, Supergirl, and Legends of Tomorrow? Here's everything you need to know about this dark alternate universe.
Not every world in the DC multiverse can be as bright and hopeful as the core DC Universe. Earth-X might just be the darkest universe of them all. On this world, history took a very bleak turn after President Roosevelt died sooner than he should. That death set back the Allied war effort and resulted in a stalemate where both sides gained access to atomic weapons simultaneously. That wound up prolonging the war by decades, until finally in the late '60s when Hitler subdued the rest of the world through the power of mind control and the Nazis became the dominant power on the planet.

Not only do we have exclusive preview art of Sword of Ages #1 to show off, we also have detailed commentary from Rodriguez as he discusses his inspirations and the process of building and establishing this new fantasy universe.

Call of Duty: WW2 Datamine Reveals New Weapons and Modes
A dataminerfound unreleased game modes and weapons in Call of Duty: WWII.
Modes such as Gun Game, Infected, and Control were discovered, as well as a number of weapons, automatic and otherwise.
Self-styled dataminer and modder MrJaRnii even published a YouTube video of their findings, according to Eurogamer. The video has already been taken down, but it revealed a number of different game modes and weapons.
This isn't the first time game content has been revealed by dataminers, but it is unclear whether these modes and weapons will come to the game at a later date, or if these are simply pieces of the game left on the cutting room floor. We will let you know as more information becomes available.

James Cameron on How Disney Buying Fox Might Affect Avatar Sequels
Legendary director James Cameron talks about how Disney buying his home studio Fox may affect the Avatar sequels.
During an interview with Vanity Fair, Cameron was asked what it would mean to him if the movie studio was sold after reports claim that Disney and Fox are in talks.

The Walking Dead/FTWD Crossover Character Confirmed
On AMC's Talking Dead, following The Walking Dead episode "The King, the Widow, and Rick,", it was revealed the integral crossover character between The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead will be Lennie James' Morgan.
The prevailing theory, ever since Fear the Walking Dead wrapped up its third season, was that it would be Abraham who moved between shows. Having shown up late on The Walking Dead, in Season 4, Abraham came from Texas - which is the location Fear is headed to in Season 4. And given that Fear is now taking place, time-wise, during Seasons 1 and 2 of The Walking Dead, a past version of Abraham could surely, and easily, slip into Fear's story.
