Release date announced for Last of Us DLC
What are you plans for Valentines Day, because Naughty Dog Studios have there own plans for you, the new DLC for Last Of Us. 14/02/2014 will see the release of this long anticipated DLC expansion to the game The DLC is name "Left Behind" and is a sort of prequel to the events of the original game focusing on Ellie and her friend Riley.
Superman/ Batman delayed until 06/05/2016
The release of Superman/Batman has been delayed by 9 months. It will now release on May 6th 2016, as many sites have made note of, this is usually the time Marvel Studios release their Summer blockbusters, along with their other titles and other studios. Marvel Studios are still to announce what will be released in 2016 but it certainly looks like there will be a head to head, and currently I have my thoughts on who is most likely to win that battle.

Wolf Among Us Episode 2 release date teased
Telltale Games has finally teased the release of Episode 2 for the Wolf Among Us. It has been a long time since the first episode was released, but we have had Walking Dead in between this, could this have anything to do with the titles recently announced and the studio having to much to work on? Whether or not the delay should not be to much longer and we should see Episode 2 released in the first two weeks of February!
DC's Justice League's to receive a shake up in April 2014
After Marvel stole the show earlier this week with the announcement of the return of Peter Parker to Amazing Spider-Man in April DC have finally started announcing more titles to be coming in April and the post Forever Evil agenda.
Reminiscent of when Norman Osborn saved the day and became the leader of the Avengers team in Dark Reign. Post Forever Evil in the DC Universe will see Lex Luthor lead the team, enrolling another former villain to the team in Captain Cold. I haven't been reading Forever Evil myself, lack of time and money, but I have heard mixed responses. This does seem like an exciting move for the team, and the new line up lead by Lex Luthor is missing two vital for Justice members in Superman and Wonder Woman. I will be keeping a close eye on how this new status quo plays out, I just hope it can be as exciting as the Osborn lead Dark Avengers was post Secret Invasion for Marvel.

Previously the next Justice League title post Forever Evil was to be Justice League Canada. It turns out this will now be called Justice League United, still written by Jeff Lemire as originally revealed and drawn by Mike McKone. The team in this one is another interesting mix, still containing several members of the Justice League of America line-up but with the additions of Animal Man, Supergirl and Adam Strange plus the tease of further new characters. The team will still be based in and around Canada but also be making the leap to some universal heroics.

Amazing Spider-Man and Peter Parker to return in April with a new #1
I am writing this post on Sunday morning after just reading the news, but having also read Dan Slott's tweets regarding avoiding the news and to respect his wish for people to try and not read this before Wednesday this will be posted on Wednesday afternoon once everyone has had the opportunity to read the upcoming issue of Superior Spider-Man.
Well it was inevitable and its finally been confirmed, although I must admit there have been times I believed Slott when he said Peter Parker is dead and will not return. Amazing Spider-Man will return in April with Slott continuing to scribe the tales of the wall crawler and Ramos on art.
This announcement comes as a double edge sword for me. I am happy that Peter Parker will be returning to the pages of a Spider-Man comic book but, well, I have really enjoyed Superior Spider-Man haven't you? Doc Ock Spidey has been nothing but entertaining and putting this socially deranged former super villain into the body of New York's greatest hero has turned out have been a stroke of genius.
Amazing Spider-Man may be returning, but now this means Dan Slott's masterful plan for his return will be arriving in the pages of Superior Spider-Man and if it is anything like the carefully laid out plan for the original "Death" of Peter Parker in issue #700 this is gonna be one hell of a ride in the issues running up to Amazing Spider-Man #1 in April 2014.
In an ideal world there will be a way for both Superior and Amazing to co-exist but I can't see a way this will be possible. What does this mean for the other Superior titles including The Superior Foes of Spider-Man which has turned out to be a surprising hit. Nick Spencer and Steve Lieber have done a great job on this title.
One things for sure April is turning out to be another stellar month of #1's for Marvel and the return of there most high profile hero just before the release of his next feature film is a welcome one.
