What is Dragon Ball Super Playing At (post Episode 92)?

Dragon Ball Super (DBS) has been a strange beast of an anime since it began two years ago. It adapted the stories of two previous movies and had all sorts of complications with the fans. It ended its best arc yet with an unsatisfying conclusion, and has had several more episodes focused on minor characters than it's predecessors ever did, it seems. Now, with the "Universal Survival Arc," Dragon Ball Super is poised to make it's biggest push yet...that may end up with the largest amount of backfire.

Arrow Season 5 Review

Another year, another few months we must post our green hoods and quivers up until the CW’s Arrow returns to television. Unlike last year…and the years before that…we’ve got a real cliffhanger, though, so that’ll keep us guessing as to the fate of certain characters, as well as where the show can go from here. There’s some hints and clues in the last few episodes, but overall the finale was pretty final in terms of the story we’ve seen the last five years. Arrow this season was about cycles and about history repeating itself (not like The Flash, which involves actual time-travel). And it was the return to form that everyone was looking for, making it the second best season of the show.

Mysteries of Rebirth: Where is Everyone Else?

With the Batman/ The Flash crossover "The Button" finally having ended, and the realignment of Superman's new continuity getting explained, it seems that we have now entered the "Phase 2" of DC Comics' "Rebirth" initiative. While the mystery of who stole the 10 years of time from the universe still remains for the characters, we the readers are now more than aware of who is responsible. While not explained why, yet, the recently announced "Doomsday Clock" crossover will more than likely answer those questions. And if you have no idea what I'm talking about, you probably haven't been paying much attention to DC Comics for the last year.

Green Arrow and Arsenal: Reflections of Rebirth

Perhaps the two characters most effected by the events of DC Universe: Rebirth, and the “Rebirth” initiative in general, have been Roy Harper, aka Arsenal, and Oliver Queen, aka Green Arrow. Both suffered immensely during the “New 52” era (though both had moments of clarity, and in the case of Green Arrow, even scored one of the most critically acclaimed-runs of the era). Roy Harper was stuck with Jason Todd for his tenure and appeared as little more than a thug in most cases, while Oliver Queen toted around and tried to find his identity a bit too many times for anyone’s interest. When the “Rebirth” wave hit, both were given slight redesigns and new surroundings, and are much, much better for it.

Blue Nexus #64 - The Mountain's Call

Dr. Luna stood up, revealing a thin aura around her in the moonlight. Her eyes fell upon Sandy, as if trying to read her. Sandy shuddered. Talk about seeing a ghost. Luna looked off of Sandy and looked toward the Sentinel, whose gaze remained hard as ever. She smiled.

            Sandy took a step forward. “The Nether?”

            “You’ve never heard of it?” Dr. Luna asked.

            Sandy shook her head. Dr. Luna sat down on her desk and crossed her arms. Her focus was back on Sandy once again. Sandy didn’t waver, instead locked her arms in the firing position with her bow.

Dark Souls III The Ringed City Part 2 Review

*SPOILERS FOR THE RINGED CITY AND DARK SOULS III*

The Dreg Heap was, essentially, one big roller coaster in reverse. Normally, you get the really exciting part at the front end and then the rest of the ride tries to carry that momentum until you come back in the station and tell everyone how awesome the ride is based on the first drop. With the Dreg Heap, the best part is at the end: the twin Demon fight. The beginning is decent, the middle is harrowing, and then the run to the boss bonfire is nightmarish. Is the second half of the DLC any different?

Dark Souls 3 The Ringed City Part 1 Review

*SPOILERS FOR THE DREG HEAP AND DARK SOULS III*
One of the biggest complaints about the Ashes of Ariandel expansion of Dark Souls III is that it was too small and far too contained for it to satisfy anyone who had played through DS3 and had any remaining questions about the story, or just what could happen after we ended the world/ prolonged its existence. The Ringed City seems to come almost in direct response to that, though it doesn’t seem entirely obvious at first.
