Street Fighter V: Charlie Nash announced as the third playable character for the game


Looks like an old friend is coming back... And a certain user of the Sonic Boom is going to be happy.

Reported by Event Hubs and announced as the third playable character for Street Fighter V, Street Fighter Zero/ Alpha veteran character Charlie Nash is coming back into the fold... And this return will probably explain officially how he is alive and well (and no, the Shadow character from the Marvel Vs Capcom games is not canon).

As the best friend and fellow comrade of Guile, Nash taught his friend all the tricks of the trade in fighting, which is why they share a similar move sets in the game. Being a playable character in the Alpha series, Charlie's life came to an abrupt end when he was killed by M. Bison/ Vega when he and Guile were infiltrating Shadoloo, leading to the latter to swear vengeance and hunt down Bison and his army once and for all.

It will be interesting to see how Nash's comeback plays out when more details arrive, especially with SFV being a PS4 and PC exclusive.

ICYMI: DC Comics' March variant cover theme is "Movie Posters"

Yep, just as the title implies... And here's one below.

If the cover didn't give it away, that's Batman 40's variant cover that pays tribute to Jim Carrey's "The Mask", with The Joker doing the same pose and the exact style of the layout being a nod to the movie!

ICYMI: Agent Carter's newest poster is very Carmen Sandiego


Pretty much what the title says... Hayley Atwell's newest look as the sexy yet dangerous Agent Peggy Carter is reminiscent of a certain video game villainess... And that's not a bad thing!

The poster comes courtesy of the official Facebook page of the series!

Witness the debut of Agent Carter early next year in a 2 hour premiere special on January 6!

Batman/ Superman #18 "Flash 75" variant cover pays tribute to "Batman #612"


Come the start of January 2015, DC Comics will be honoring the 75th Anniversary of the Fastest Man Alive by releasing variant covers for several of their titles that are themed after "The Flash"! Coming as no exception is Batman/ Superman #18, which will be drawn by none other than DC Co-Publisher and artist extraordinaire Jim Lee!

Together with longtime collaborator and inker Scott Williams, Lee's contribution to "Flash 75", as previewed in his official Facebook page, will be a recreation of that iconic and epic cover to 2003's "Batman #612", which featured The Dark Knight at the mercy of his best friend and Justice League teammate, Superman! The issue was the fifth chapter of the groundbreaking "Hush" storyline which introduced the titular villain to the DC Universe, and that particular part had Bats visiting Metropolis to capture Poison Ivy, but was forced to deal with a mind-controlled Man of Steel as well.

In case you needed a comparison, here's the classic cover below of Batman #612. The variant to Batman/ Superman #18 above sees The Flash bombing the moment, and trying to create "peace" between The World's Finest by putting roses on their ears!XD


Pick up that variant cover to Batman/ Superman when it hits stores on January 21!

Meet Tekken 7's newest and Japan/ East Asia exclusive character - Lucky Chloe


In case you missed it, meet Tekken 7's newest character... And she literally looks like the next ideal cosplay target for those looking to dress as something from the fighting game series' immense and growing roster.



Say Hello to Lucky Chloe! A cat girl who looks like a mix between SEGA dancing game mascot Hatsune Miku and Taokaka from the Blazblue fighting game series.

Now... Some feel she looks a little out of place for the Tekken universe. She's a hip-hop dancer who speaks English and Japanese, but acts cute and cuddly at the same time. Could this the next Lily, or something more? Mixed reactions came in online, and Tekken series directer Katsuhiro Harada did not take the reactions well.

As a result and according to a report in VG 24/7, Lucky Chloe may be a Japan/ East Asia exclusive character.

Before you judge, let the character trailer showing her in action make you decide on that fact.

Tekken 7 officially hits arcades on February 2015.
