New Teen Titans Team Has Unexpected Lobo Twist
DC Comics' Teen Titans series will welcome a new creative team and feature a new team roster starting with June's Issue #20.
The team roster will include familiar faces like Damian Wayne (Robin), Kid Flash and Red Arrow, as well as some completely new characters. One among them is Lobo's teenage daughter named Crush. Designed by artist Jorge Jimenez, the white skin, black spiky hair, and chained weapon certainly leave no doubt that she is Lobo's offspring. Given that Lobo is known as the "Last Czarnian," it's quite the surprise to hear there's another one out there, and it's his daughter, no less. The other two new characters are named Djinn and Roundhouse.

Why I Still Play Chrono Trigger Today
There have been some absolutely brilliant video games released over the last few years. I’ve battled on the streets of Numbani, I’ve scoured the ruins of Libertalia, and I’ve explored far and wide across Hyrule. And yet, as memorable as those experiences are, I still find myself going back to a title that’s over two decades old: Chrono Trigger. To some, it is an old game that was recently given a sub-par release on Steam; to me though, it is a deeply nostalgic experience and the most important video game ever.
Chrono Trigger is a reminder of my adolescence, and a game in which I see countless little parallels to the life I once lived in a rural Australian town. The very beginning, for instance, in which Crono is woken by his mother so he wouldn’t miss the Millennial Fair, takes me back to how excited I would be when my mum told me that the annual amusement park show was finally in town.
How Avengers: Infinity War Will Create a ‘New Playground’ for Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD
While answering a fan question at WonderCon’s panel for Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD, showrunner Jed Whedon explained how the events of May’s Avengers: Infinity War will impact the show.
“When Doctor Strange came out it introduced us to magic which gave us Ghost Rider. When
came out, we were introduced to space. We are waiting for
to come out so it can open a new playground for us," Whedon told the crowd.
As Whedon explained, the TV show often looks to the movies to inspire what concepts and characters it will focus on each season. The current Season 5 already seemed to be sharing a theme with Infinity War given that a good chunk of it has taken place in space and dealt with aliens, but it sounds like whatever happens in Infinity War will offer up brand new elements for the show to explore. Season 5 will be wrapping up when Infinity War hits on April 27, so whether we get to see any of them will depend on if Agents of SHIELD gets renewed for a sixth season.
Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice Gets Xbox One Release Date
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice will be released for Xbox One on April 11.
Developer Ninja Theory shared the news in a post on Twitter, confirming the game will have enhancements for Xbox One X. Those who preorder the game, or purchase Hellblade during its first week of release on the Xbox Store, will get a 10 percent discount.
News of Hellblade coming to Xbox One isn't especially surprising given the game was rated for Xbox One by Taiwan's Game Software Ratings board earlier this year.

How I Hacked Bloodborne and Found Never-Before-Seen Content
Since its release in 2015, Bloodborne has amassed an enormous and passionate following, full of people who want to discover the secrets hidden in the deep and often vague lore of Yharnam. What makes that world even more intriguing are the mysteries hidden in the game’s internal content, which was uploaded to the internet by an anonymous user in 2017. It contains characters, creatures, maps, sounds, music, and scripts stored on the game’s Blu-Ray Disc, most of which never made it into the final game at all. My name is Lance McDonald, and I’ve spent the past three months uncovering parts of Bloodborne that have never been seen, until now.
From even a cursory glance at trailers and pre-release footage, it’s clear that Bloodborne went through many significant changes during development, and the alpha files that were built only 9 months prior to the game’s release confirm that. The storyline and characters are dramatically different to what would eventually ship, and as a result, there’s plenty of unused data left behind on the game’s disc. For one, there’s model data for about twenty enemies and characters that would be wholly unfamiliar to anyone who played Bloodborne.
Ni No Kuni Dev Teases MMO-Scale ‘Modern Day’ Project
Level-5, the studio behind popular series like Yo-Kai Watch, Professor Layton, and Ni No Kuni, has teased what lies ahead for the developer as it celebrates its 20th anniversary this year.
According to Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino, the studio's next game will have a "modern day" setting, rather than a fantasy one, with an ambitious scale akin to that of a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG).
"We do have an idea. I’m not sure if we can call it an MMORPG or not, but
to make a big title on the same scale as one," Hino said in the latest installment of 4Gamer.net's interview series Harada Kills (via Gematsu).
Fear TWD: What to Expect from Morgan’s Arrival in Season 4
With Morgan soon making his debut on Fear the Walking Dead as the first crossover character between it and the mothership, The Walking Dead, the cast and crew of Fear headed to WonderCon 2018 to tease what fans can expect when the series returns for its fourth season on April 15.
Unsurprisingly, what fans can expect from Morgan's arrival on Fear was a big topic of discussion at the panel. Morgan has often been known as a man of peace, but he can also be an effective killer when he needs to be. Lennie James commented comically on his character's duality, saying, "If you're going to kill, you might as well kill everyone, and if you're not going to kill, then you shouldn't kill anybody."
Donald Glover, FX, Marvel TV ‘Part Ways’ on Deadpool Animated Series
Marvel Television, FX, and Donald Glover have decided to "part ways" on the previously announced Deadpool animated series.
FX cited "creative differences" for the split and reaffirmed the network its still working with Marvel TV on Legion, Variety reports.
The animated series received a 10-episode first season order from FXX in May of last year. Donald and Stephen Glover (Atlanta) were set to serve as showrunners and writers on the series, which was scheduled to premiere sometime this year.
Silicon Valley Creator on Why T.J. Miller Departed Show
When the fifth season of HBO's Silicon Valley premieres tomorrow, viewers will notice Erlich Bachman is no longer part of the Pied Piper gang, and reports about why that is the case have come to light.
T.J. Miller, who played Bachman, left the show after Season 4 wrapped up last year. Initially, no reasons were given for Miller's departure, though HBO said that the split was mutual.
Mike Judge, the creator and executive producer of the hit series, has since provided some context for Miller's departure. "
