C2E2 2020: "X of Swords" will be the next X-Men event this Summer 2020

After experiencing a literal Rebirth, Renaissance, and Reunion in House of X/ Powers of X and a new beginning in "Dawn of X" that has united the mutant community under one nation of Krakoa, Head of X architect and writer Jonathan Hickman and his team of X-Men writers, artists, and creators are ready for the next summer event for the Children of the Atom, and it's called "X of Swords" - as referenced by the promotional image featuring most of the well known characters of the X-Universe wielding their famous blades that are either signature, mystic, enchanted, or cursed.

Announced at this weekend's C2E2 event and reported by Newsarama, "X of Swords" will see Hickman team up with "Excalibur" series writer Tini Howard - who came up with the name and may refer to the Tarot card "Ten of Swords", as well as a literal "crossing of swords/ weapons" as the "X" may imply. Famous weapons such as Wolverine's Muramase Blade, Magik's Soulsword, Excalibur itself, and many others are seen in the teaser poster drawn by Mark Brooks.

"X of Swords" is announced to begin this July and will be a crossover through the X-Men titles.

Todd McFarlane draws Spider-Man and Spawn together for the very first time in Overstreet Guide cover

After 27 years since he last drew the character professionally, Todd McFarlane returns to drawing Spider-Man for an official cover and pairs him with the creation he made following his departure from Marvel Comics in the 1990's... Spawn himself.

Via his own Twitter account, McFarlane shared the image for his upcoming cover of "Overstreet Guide" of Spawn crouching on a typical demon sculpture ledge... But adding Spider-Man as well hanging upside down and with the "Spaghetti Webs" the artist made famous when he was drawing the character in the late 80's for "The Amazing Spider-Man" and then his own "Spider-Man" solo title in the early 90's. McFarlane would leave the publisher shortly afterwards - forming alongside fellow popular artists like Jim Lee and Whilce Portacio their own publishing house called "Image Comics".

As a big time of Todd McFarlane's art, this is definitely a team-up that has to happen in an official comic book series of its own and it's been a long time coming too.

Parker, Gwen Stacy, and the other alternate universe Spider heroes. Eventually, he manages to pull himself together and emerge as the brand new Spider-Man his world needs!

Ben Affleck made the right choice to prioritize himself and rehab over "The Batman"

I made this comment over at several outlets in Facebook sharing the story from The New York Times, where Academy Award winning director, writer, and actor Ben Affleck got candid about his alcoholism and deciding to drop directing AND starring in "The Batman":

“Why do we fall? So we can learn to pick ourselves up.” Cheesy as that line from Batman Begins sounds, it applies to Ben Affleck - and kudos to him for prioritizing himself and rehab. Much as I enjoyed his Bruce Wayne and Batman - the best balanced performance I have seen of both roles, he made the right choice to step away - and now that Robert Pattinson and Matt Reeves are making “The Batman”, no more pressure unto him. I hope he recovers and wish him well.🦇

That certainly applies on this post and my personal thoughts on the man who has starred in three films as The Caped Crusader - namely 2016's "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", a short cameo appearance in "Suicide Squad" released the same year, and finally in 2017 "Justice League". Ever since he was cast in 2013 to play the new Gotham vigilante in live action after Christian Bale in "The Dark Knight Trilogy",the casting initially got a lot of flack and criticism. Soon as BvS hit in 2016, that changed and we saw arguably one of the best film Batman actors in the big screen.

Despite giving one of the most impressive performances in recent memory as The Dark Knight - things just took a toll on the man and his personal life was the worse for wear. His struggles with the aforementioned alcoholism problem are well documented, but it's also his divorce to ex-wife Jennifer Garner that he calls "his biggest regret" and something that has plagued the actor through a string of troubles and unwanted attention by the media. The problems were only exacerbated by failures and disappointments - not just with the troubled production and output of "Justice League"  (which saw Zack Snyder drop out due to family tragedy and Joss Whedon taking over to produce a little than mediocre team film), but also his last directorial and starring feature in "Live By Night" - which turned into a box office bomb. As the New York Times article quoted, Affleck's friend read "The Batman" script and said to him: ‘I think the script is good. I also think you’ll drink yourself to death if you go through what you just went through again.’”

Ironically enough, February 19th is considered Bruce Wayne's birthday is some fictional accounts in DC history and lore. Much as we'd like to think he's infallible, Ben Affleck is definitely human and flawed just like Batman - he made the right call to step away and give Matt Reeves the keys to "The Batman" and subsequently Robert Pattinson to step in and play a younger version of The Dark Knight. We all make mistakes in life and fall on our feet, and it's learning to pick ourselves up and find redemption that'll make us stronger and go back to a better place. The man has a new film called "The Way Back" coming up next month that hits closer to home and follows a basketball coach struggling with the very same inner demons and alcohol troubles. Perhaps someday, the Bat signal will shine again and we'll see Ben put on the cape and cowl once more.

DC officially announces "Dark Nights: Death Metal" - Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's proverbial "last ride" DC event starting this May

Teased. Hinted. Expected. Now it is officially unveiled by DC Comics and writer Scott Snyder himself.

Two years after the end of "Dark Nights: Metal", DC has announced a sequel series in "Dark Nights: Death Metal" - a six issue miniseries that will begin this May. Snyder will once again be in the driver's seat as the writer of the story, with his wingman and longtime collaborator Greg Capullo taking care of art duties. The duo will also be joined by inker Jonathan Glapion, with FCO Plascenia also retruning as colorist.

According to Newsarama's article, Dark Nights: Death Metal's plot will go something like this: "The Earth has been consumed by Dark Multiverse energy, having been conquered by the Batman Who Laughs and his evil lieutenants, corrupted versions of Shazam, Donna Troy, Supergirl, Blue Beetle, Hawkman, and Commissioner Jim Gordon," reads DC's announcement. "Some heroes, like Wonder Woman and the Flash, have made compromises as they negotiate to keep humanity alive in this hell-born landscape. Others, like Batman, are part of an underground resistance looking to take back control of their world. Superman is imprisoned, cursed to literally power Earth’s sun for eternity."

If that sounds fun and insane... IT IS. Wonder Woman is also meant to be the key figure/ character of this storyline, which will also feature Batman, Superman, and several one-shot tie-ins. Prepare yourselves for the Metalverse Encore this year.

Dark Nights: Death Metal will begin on May 13 with issue #1 and will be a monthly series running all the way to November this year.

A familiar face returns and some things are teased, as the brand new trailer for "Fast & Furious 9" -  the ninth installment in the long-running Fast Saga speeds its way online and gives fans and viewers a glimpse of what to expect when the film arrives in theaters this summer blockbuster weekend.

From the poster alone, it's now no longer a secret that the long thought dead Han Lue (played by Sung Kang) is back, as the new trailer shows him alive and well. However, the other big reveal is the character Jakob - played by wrestler turned actor John Cena - and how he has a very strong connection to Vin Diesel's Dominic Toretto.

No matter how fast you are, no one outruns their past.
