As the current conflict in Ukraine rages on, many across the world are seeking ways to help those affected. Comic book fans have a new option in the form of Flowers for Ukraine: Sunflower Seeds, an anthology collection designed to benefit Operation USA's relief efforts.

Flowers for Ukraine is spearheaded and edited by IDW's Scott Dunbier, in collaboration with Zoop. This 112-page graphic novel features new stories from a number of high-profile creative teams. To get a better idea of what's being included, check out the slideshow gallery below:

Alongside stories inspired by the war in Ukraine, this book will also include new short stories from a variety of creator-owned franchises, including Kurt Busiek and Brent Anderson's Astro City, Matt Wagner's Grendel, Sergio Aragones' Groo, Stan Sakai's Usagi Yojimbo and Howard Chaykin's American Flagg. The hardcover edition features a cover by Alex Ross, while the three different softcover editions feature covers by Arthur Adams, Dave Johnson and Bill Sienkiewicz, respectively.

Comics for Ukraine is currently being crowdfunded on Zoop. While the campaign is already well past its initial fundraising goal, it's being extended to mark the start of Comic-Con and will now run until August 1.

The book will also be the focus of a special SDCC panel on Friday, July 22 at 11am PT in Room 10, where Dunbier and several creators will discuss the creation of Comics for Ukraine and officially hand over the campaign's first $100,000 check to an Operation USA representative.

LEGO has announced three new sets based on James Cameron's Avatar in the run-up to San Diego Comic-Con.

Joining the Toruk Makto & Tree of Souls set announced in June, the Neytiri & Thanator vs. AMP Suit Quaritch set, Jake & Neytiri’s First Banshee Flight set, and Floating Mountains: Site 26 & RDA Samson set will be released on October 1.

The first (and cheapest) LEGO set, the Neytiri & Thanator vs. AMP Suit Quaritch (number 75571) will retail for $39.99 and comes with 560 pieces and comes with two minifigures as the name suggests: Neytiri and Colonel Miles Quaritch.

The Jake and Neytiri's First Banshee Flight set (number 75572) recreates the iconic scene from the movie as it comes with both character as minifgures and the two banshees. It will retail for $59.99 but comes with only 12 more pieces than the previous set at 572.

Finally, the Floating Mountains: Site 26 & RDA Samson (number 75573) is the biggest and most expensive of the three newly revealed sets, coming in at 887 pieces with a price of $89.99. It comes with five minifigures (Jake as a human and a Na'vi, Norm, Grace Augustine, and Trudy) along with the SA-2 Samson helicopter and science lab.

The Toruk Makto & Tree of Souls set is therefore still the biggest of the new Avatar range, with a price of $149.99 and 1212 pieces. The franchise is once again receiving mainstream attention as the second film, Avatar: The Way of Water, hits cinemas on September 23, 2022.

Konami is developing a baseball video game in partnership with the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) alongside an international esports competition.

Very little has been revealed about the game given the deal was just announced today, July 20, but the two companies said the new game "will allow the global baseball community, National Federations, and gamers worldwide to participate in a potential newly/jointly created WBSC esport international baseball competition."

It therefore appears the game will lean heavily into this competitive side, with Konami's representative director Hideki Hayakawa also describing it as a "global esports initiative".

He continued: "We wish to continue to support the development of the baseball and softball communities around the world through our games by utilizing our experiences in games and eSport."

The two companies also collaborated for a virtual baseball event last year that used Japanese-only game eBaseball: Powerful Pro Baseball 2020 to create events including a Home Run Derby and a full tournament.

"Following our partnership and immense success at the inaugural Olympic Virtual Series last year, the WBSC is proud to work with a video game publishing giant like Konami on this exciting new project, which has unlimited potential to further grow our sport and connect with audiences that we’ve not yet reached before," said WBSC president Riccardo Fraccari.

"The WBSC, together with Konami, aims to harness esport to expand the baseball population worldwide while adding another powerful tool for National Federations to attract and make our sport relevant to new audiences and players [and] gamers in their respective countries and territories.”

Konami's other premiere sports franchise, eFootball (previously Pro Evolution Soccer), has had a difficult few months since a pretty disastrous pre-release version was released last September. The development team attempted to "regain the trust" of players but even its major update in April failed to improve much, with IGN saying it was bad in our 4/10 review.

House of the Dragon could be just the beginning for the Game of Thrones spin-off that follows the ancestors of Daenerys Targaryen.

During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, House of the Dragon co-showrunner Miguel Sapochnik explained how the upcoming series could be the backbone for even more stories.

“The Targaryens span both directions,” said Sapochnik, refering to both the past and future of the family's timeline. “So as a spine to other possible stories and spinoffs … this is a great place to start.”

House of the Dragon is set two hundred years before the events of Game of Thrones. Starring Paddy Considine and Emma D’Arcy, it chronicles the ultimate fall of House Targaryen, including the Targaryen civil war, also known as the Dance of the Dragons.

“I liked the idea of focusing on one family, and obviously the Targaryens have a lot of drama to go around,” said HBO chief content officer Casey Bloys. “I also liked the echo of how empires can quickly fall — those are the types of conversations we are having in our own country, which I don’t think is anything I would’ve thought we’d be talking about 20 years ago.”

It also happens to be the first Game of Thrones spin-off to head to our screens, with an earlier project canceled despite a $30 million pilot having been produced. Then there’s the upcoming Jon Snow series, which will presumably act as more of a sequel to the original series.

Three more spin-off shows are also in the works. 10,000 Ships will tell the story of Princess Nymeria, an ancestor of House Martell and founder of the kingdom of Dorne. This series is set a millennium before the events of Game of Thrones, making it even more of a history lesson than House of the Dragon.

Another spin-off show is set in Flea Bottom – the shady, slum district of King’s Landing. Finally, 9 Voyages will tell the story of Lord Corlys Velaryon, also known as the Sea Snake and the head of the House of Velaryon.

Although House of the Dragon will feature some familiar names for fans of the show, its setting might feel a little different.

“The biggest difference about this series is the fact that dragons exist in this [era], whereas they were an extinct species that came back to life in the original show,” said co-showrunner Ryan Condal (at least 17 dragons will appear in the show, according to THR). “So, there’s an infrastructure built around them. There’s a dragon pit, saddles, and dragon keepers — this monk-like order that takes care of them.”

Thankfully, you won’t have to wait long to find out how that all works – House of the Dragon will debut over at HBO on August 21, 2022.

Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption publisher Take Two Interactive has announced its "unwavernig support" for its employees in the aftermath of the overturning of Roe vs. Wade, the historic 1973 judgment used to secure abortion rights across the United States.

As reported by Eurogamer, a statement was shared on Take-Two subsidiary Zynga's Twitter (below) that announced the publisher is expanding its employee travel and lodging benefit programmes across the U.S. and is also adopting the Maven benefits platform, which "provides critical support across fertility, pregnancy, adoption, parenting, and pediatrics".

Take-Two said it "acknowledges that the United States Supreme Court ruling regarding Roe vs. Wade is a significant event" and it "would like to affirm our unwavering support for all our colleagues in the U.S. and around the world.

"As always, our people are the heart of our company, and we remain dedicated to protecting their health, wellbeing, and safety," it added.

Bungie was the first studio to speak out against the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe vs. Wade when its intensions leaked back in May.

"By creating a divide between those who posses the fundamental right to make healthcare decisions that are right for them, and those who do not posses that same freedom, this decision, should it become final, will have far-reaching consequences that will be felt for generations across socio-economic lines," the Destiny developer said.

Since then, various other companies including Double Fine, ArenaNet, and Outerloop Games have publicly spoken out against the decision. Sony and Insomniac Games also reportedly donated $50,000 each to the Women’s Reproductive Rights Assistance Project.

Discord announced today that it is finally adding voice chat integration to Xbox consoles.

The addition means that Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One owners will be able to talk to their friends on Discord Voice chats from their consoles, rather than having to use other devices.

In a press release, Discord notes that Xbox Insider will be able to use its voice chat feature on their consoles, starting today. The feature coming at a later date for all users. As Discord notes, the feature has been widely requested by users. Previously the company allowed Xbox owners to connect their accounts, but could only be used to display information, like Gamertags.

Discord also confirmed that Discord Voice chat on Xbox will allow users to transfer their voice call from the app (Desktop or mobile) directly onto their consoles using the Xbox mobile app. As you can see from the image below, the transfer process looks pretty straightforward.

Discord integration announcement for Xbox came roughly seven months after the company announced that it was finally allowing PS4 and PS5 owners to connect their PSN accounts to their Discord profile.
