I started off my talk with DC Entertainment's Chief Creative Officer on the wrong foot, by forgetting that Geoff Johns has been writing an Aquaman series. "You just proved my point," he chided me. The point being that people rag on the publisher's amphibious character, which is a phenomenon that Johns is trying to reverse in the DC Comics New 52 relaunch. Johns' Aquaman is powerful in ways that other characters in the DC Universe are not and, when cannibalistic sea creatures come to the surface, the same people who once made fun of the Sea King in the comics have to thank him for saving their lives.

For all the hoariness of the heroes-vs.-heroes trope, the set-up of Marvel Comics' next big crossover event rotates around an interesting premise: The cosmic power known as the Phoenix Force is coming back to Earth, apparently targeting a young mutant girl called Hope. Once bonded with mutant telepath Jean Grey, the Phoenix Force has been wielded for both salvation and destruction. More »

Once upon a time, the heroes of Justice League International laughed. At enemies, at circumstances, even at each other. Those days are long gone, but DC Comics' New 52 reboot has revived the concept of a global team of superheroes. The tone's changed but many of the face remain the same, with Batman, Booster Gold, Green Lantern Guy Gardner and Ice. More »

Could it be possible that Sonic the Hedgehog—after years of underwhelming games—is enjoying a bit of a resurgence? Both the re-release of Sonic CD and the debut of the all-new Sonic Generations have been reminding people how fun it is to play as Sega's mascot. More »

Part of the appeal of the Batman mythos is that, in becoming his masked alter ego, Bruce Wayne took the pain of great tragedy and used to fuel a transformation. Of course, with pain comes fear, but Batman's one superhero seems to have conquered that emotion. More »

Earlier today, comics powerhouse DC unveiled a new logo. Well, new logos, as the idea behind the company's new "peeling" motif is that it can be customised for every piece of entertainment it appears on. While that'll mostly be comics, DC did go to the trouble of showing how the property's video games will look. More »

At the end of the first Prototype, the island of Manhattan suffered tons of property damage after hoodie-wearing protagonist Alex Mercer completed his quest to dish out viral justice. From what we've seen of Prototype 2, the city's become NYZ, a massive hot zone seething with poor, Blacklight virus-infected citizens that new hero James Heller needs to hunt down. So, what happened between then and now? More »

There's been a weird quirk about Brian Azzarello's writing assignments for DC Comics: the less the super the hero, the more powerful his writing's been. Best known for his decade-long crime masterpiece 100 Bullets at the publisher's Vertigo imprint, Azzarello's also tried his hand at in its caped crimefighter universe, too. While his grittier sensibility meshed has well with Batman, his run at Superman felt like a square peg trying to fly through a round hole. More »

BioWare's new Star Wars MMO covers a lot of ground when it comes the pre-history of Luke Skywalker's universe. But, even with all the gameplay and dialogue in The Old Republic, there' s still lots of stories to be told about the conflicts between Jedi, Sith, Mandalorians and The Republic of the old. More »

Batman's a character often portrayed as the ultimate loner, but giving Bruce Wayne an actual, biological son has been the best thing to happen to him in recent years. A few years ago, writer Grant Morrison introduced the character of Damian Wayne—the result of the dysfunctional romance between Batman and Talia, daughter of archenemy Ra's Al Ghul—and the condescending Son of the Bat's gone one to become his father's sidekick.

Pocket God's the popular mobile game where players get to sadistically manipulate the indestructible inhabitants of a tropical island. In that form, it's one of the App Store's longest-running successes, landing on hundreds of thousands of Apple's iDevices.

The Pocket God comic series is 11 issues deep , with more than 500,000 copies sold. All that means that people love their Pocket God. More »
