Posted on by

FIRST LOOK AT FINAL SCORCHED CONNECTING COVER BY TODD MCFARLANEMegastar artist Todd McFarlane reveals the SCORCHED #6 cover artwork, the final of the four connecting covers that pays homage to Jim Lee’s historic X-MEN #1 covers.

This marks the first time McFarlane has drawn a four-cover connecting artwork spread in his career. SCORCHED issues #3 through #6 connect to create one stunning piece of artwork commemorating SPAWN’s 30th anniversary in 2022.

McFarlane said: “The X-Men and Jim Lee’s artwork have inspired a whole generation of new comic book artists, and I wanted to tip my hat to Jim’s enormous impact on our industry. This marked the first time I have done any connecting covers, let alone four of them! I hope to keep reminding new customers that there was a time in the 1990s when our industry was near the zenith of excitement and innovative styles. Jim Lee was helping to lead that pack.”

McFarlane’s SCORCHED #1, launched in January 2022, set the sales record for the “Biggest New Team Book” from the past 30 years. This supergroup of heroes and villains includes Spawn, Cy-Gor, Overtkil, Redeemer, Gunslinger, Haunt, Soul Crusher, Medieval Spawn, She-Spawn, and more fan-favorite characters waiting in the wings.

Joining Mcfarlane on this issue is writer Sean Lewis, artist Stephen Segovia, and colorist Ulises Arreola with lettering by AndWorld Design. In addition to McFarlane’s cover, SCORCHED #6 will offer two alternate covers, including a cover by Björn Barends and a magnificent Blank Black Sketch cover.

Marvel And Fortnite Heroes Join Forces In New Fortnite X Marvel

Posted on by

Marvel And Fortnite Heroes Join ForcesDebuted earlier today on IGN, the preview shows the exact moment where the Fortnite and Marvel universes collide and Spider-Man realizing that it’ll take the greatest heroes from both to save all of reality.

Written by veteran Marvel writer Christos Gage and Epic Games’ Chief Creative Officer Donald Mustard and drawn by acclaimed artist Sergio Dávila, the comic’s story follows the inhabitants on the Island who are locked in what seems to be a never-ending war, and only one thing has the potential to turn the tide—a crystallized fragment of the Zero Point that was cast into the Marvel Universe! Spider-Man and Wolverine team up with Shuri and several fan-favorites from Fortnite to hunt down the elusive Zero Shard. Will these allies be able to find it in time and avert catastrophe? And can the heroes of Marvel and Fortnite’s realities hold off the Imagined Order long enough to give them a fighting chance? Don’t miss this momentous saga packed with incredible ramifications for both universes.

“There’ll be a few things you see in both the game and the comic—mostly in our final issue,” Gage explained to IGN in an exclusive interview. “But for the most part, what happens in the game and what happens in the comic are different fronts in the same war. Some questions that players might have about the game are answered in the comic, and vice versa, though neither are required to follow the story in the other.” Check out the preview now and pick up FORTNITE X MARVEL: ZERO WAR #1 on June 8!

Netflix HeartstopperNetflix’s latest queer coming-of-age rom-com, “Heartstopper”, released on April 22, 2022, is earning plenty of praise. Adapted from a graphic novel by Alice Oseman, the British series follows a teenage romance between two students at a grammar school, Nick, played by Rocketman young-actor Kit Connor and Charlie, played by Joe Locke.

Adding another layer to the 8 episode series is the catchy music that plays along with Nick and Charlie’s romance as well as the storylines involving their circle of friends Tao, Elle, Isaac, Tara and Darcy.

Coinciding with the release of the series is the soundtrack, which was released digitally on Spotify. “Colours of You“, the official single from British artist Baby Queen, was released by Polydor Records.

Baby Queen has a recorded multiple tracks for the soundtrack, including “Dover Beach,” and “Want Me”, both of which played on the series’ first episode, “Meet.”

Other popular songs that has ben featured in the series so far include “Girls” by Girl in Red and “Tired” by Beabadoobee.
