I think those are for LBP 2, but they might not be downloadable anymore

My son has LBP 3, and he's got a tin of skins. Just gotta buy the costume packs.

Read Venomverse/Venomverse: War Stories #1, liked both. I think the "Poison" name is a bit schlocky, but the redesigns are fairly good (Dr. Octopus looked killer, and Hulk too, but Spider-Man was basically Future Foundation in appearance).

I also liked seeing a wide variety of reinterpretations of known characters (Carol Danvers as Captain America, but just her mask and the shield are new because the rest is her current Captain Marvel attire; Punisher-Venom; Dr. Strange-Venom; and this one female Venom with Freakazoid hair that I suspect might be Domino, so I hope she survives).

I'm glad these details included other mutants like Deadpool. If I get another live action Madrox I'll love this movie even if it's shit.

‘Venom’ Movie Lands Michelle Williams to Star Opposite Tom Hardy

Welp, I'm in. Tom Hardy, Michelle Williams, Riz Ahmed. They haven't missed yet.

Looks like Sony and Fleischer are definitely trying to make this work. I wouldn't be surprised if Sony surrounded Fleischer with top talent like WB did with Gangster Squad and just hoping for that to win out in the box office.

[Darth_Primus]

I'm still skeptical about the Venom movie, but I haven't turned down any Marvel based comic book film in a very long time.

I just like that it sounds like they are approaching the material more like Logan, than Avengers, which is great. Probably not a popular opinion, but I prefer Deadpool and Logan to any other MCU movie. Fox is smart to focus on making these more adult accessible. I'm really excited to see what New Mutants holds in store. I have a lot of faith they will make this work too.

So I flipped through a copy of Marvel Knights: Metal-ish yesterday. The fold-out cover was actually very nice, and I saw a couple old faces, but overall I thought it was just a poor imitation of something that's already bizarre-as-fuck. That "1,000,000 BC" nonsense was just awful.

I'm sick of them trying to sell Star-Brand. I think that character is lame. They don't seem to want to give up on the new Ghost Rider either even though his new series was canceled before hitting double digits. I like the car concept, but Johny Blaze was just cooler. Some intriguing hints about what is coming down the road, but overall not a comic that would get someone to "switch sides". It just reminded me of the "Point One" comic they release a year ago or so catching people up with the current affairs and laying tracks for new stories.

Watched The Gifted last night. Meh. Not bad, but not particularly great. Bryan Singer uses sparks like JJ uses Lens Flare.

I actually thought the Point One initiative was genius strategy. It really was a jumping on point without rebooting to a #1.

I dug the idea as well, not sure why they never did it again. Maybe these "event" comics just always sell better, so why not sell it as an event rather than just "catching up with the universe" while setting expectations for the next year or so of stories? Anyways that's all Legacy was to me, settling on what happened before, peaking at what's to come.
