Writer Brian Michael Bendis is having a very busy fall, debuting several new creator-owned projects at various publishers. Bendis' latest new series, a graphic novel trilogy called Phenomena, should appeal to anyone who loves the fantasy world of Avatar: The Last Airbender or Bendis' past work on Ultimate Spider-Man.

Phenomena pairs Bendis with artist André Lima Araújo (A Righteous Thirst for Vengeance). The first volume in the trilogy, Phenomena Book One: The Golden City of Eyes, is on sale now, and IGN can debut an exclusive preview. Check it out in the slideshow gallery below:

Here's the official summary for Phenomena Book One:

“Everyone tells you . . . you’re going to see something you’ve never seen before. That’s what everyone said. Who doesn’t want to see something they’ve never seen?”

Phenomena is the story of a young boy named Boldon and his warrior friend Spike—survivors of a phenomena that took over Earth years ago. Not an apocalypse . . . something far more interesting. We follow Boldon and Spike as they are forced to team up with another lost orphan of the world, Matilde. The trio of heroes go on a globetrotting adventure that takes them to a magical, mysterious place called the Golden City of Eyes.

As they quest across this epically crazy new world looking for answers and purpose, they face off against dark forces big and small, changing the world better along the way. In each book in the series, our heroes travel to different parts of the magical world of Phenomena by various modes of transportation, each more and more fantastical than the mode that preceded it. Each journey is personal, and every chapter takes the trio toward a different, visually iconic destination, and each location, character, and chapter reveals clues to the shape of the world and how they got there—and, ultimately, their purpose.

Phenomena: The Golden City of Eyes is published through Abrams ComicArts. The book is 144-pages-long and is priced at $24.99. You can order a copy through Amazon or various other retailers.

Bendis is also gearing up to debut a new series called The Ones at Dark Horse, one that explores what happens when a team of supposed chosen ones is assembled to battle the universe's true incarnation of "The One."

Abrams ComicArt also recently released their first collaboration with Marvel, Alex Ross' graphic novel Fantastic Four: Full Circle.

There was a lot of remake and remaster love during today's Nintendo Direct, including a surprise for Kirby fans in Kirby's Return to Dreamland Deluxe, which is planned for release on Nintendo Switch on February 24, 2023.

Return to Dreamland Deluxe first debuted back in 2011, and is a 2.5D sidescroller focused on Kirby's copy abilities, including the debut of the mecha copy ability. There is also a minigame collection including returning games like Samurai Kirby and new games like Magolor's Tome Trackers.

This version will support multiplayer for up to four players on the same system with Joy-Con controllers - unfortunately, it doesn't sound like there will be online multiplayer.

We gave the original Return ot Dreamland a 7.5, calling it "capable and competent" with "admittedly few faults" but little in the way of new or original gameplay.

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion officially has a release date, with Nintendo confirming that the remastered prequel will arrive on December 13.

Announced during September's Nintendo Direct, the December 13 release date has not only been confirmed for Nintendo Switch but also the game's other platforms of PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series, and PC.

A handful of new gameplay clips were also shown during the direct, giving fans another chance to see protagonist Zack in action in the remastered Final Fantasy 7 prequel.

Square Enix is moving pretty quick on Crisis Core as the game was only announced in June during the Final Fantasy 7 25th Anniversary stream, meaning the game will be released within six months of its reveal.

Crisis Core was originally released for the PlayStation Portable back in 2008, but gained new relevance when Final Fantasy 7 Remake seemed to include scenes from the game centred around Zack.

The character, who's been a part of the Final Fantasy story since 7 was first released in 1997, can also be seen in the trailer for Remake's sequel, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.

In our 8/10 review of the original game, IGN said: "Crisis Core is a great game and, barring a few minor issues here and there, will not disappoint."

The sequel to Breath of the Wild will be officially called The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and it's out on May 12, 2023.

The title was revealed as part of a new trailer at Nintendo Direct today, which also showed off exploration, new stasis powers, and lots of the sequel's still-unexplained shattered Hyrule.

A press release for the game included a description that confirms the floating islands above Hyrule will offer a new vertical space to explore in the open world, reading: "In addition to the vast lands of Hyrule, the latest entry in the storied Legend of Zelda series will take you up into the skies and an expanded world that goes beyond that!"

Starting with a series of wall carvings that presumably offer clues as to the game's mysterious backstory, we then see link open some huge doors, run to the edge of a floating island, and leap off to begin skydiving. We then see what seems to be the means for Link to get back above the clouds (a boulder floating into the air), climbing up tree roots in the sides of an island, and what seems to be a stone bird that can be used to fly.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 was originally expected to be released in 2022 but was delayed to 2023. Series producer Eiji Aounuma said in the announcement that "in order to make this game's experience something special, the entire development team is continuing to work diligently on this game, so please wait a while longer."
