Earlier this month, Marvel approved a cover (above, drawn by Milo Manara) for an upcoming issue of Spider-Woman that was so stupid that the stupidity overran the offensiveness. Like, really?

Fortnite Is Not What You’d Expect from the Makers of Gears of War

Fortnite doesn’t feel like the kind of experience that should be coming from Epic Games. This is the House That Shooters Built after all, with huge slabs of foundation laid down by Unreal Tournament and Gears of War. But, despite being a game that takes heavy cues from Minecraft, Fortnite represents an evolution for the…
