ALL GEEK TO ME
THE LATEST GAMING, COMICS & TECH TRENDS
JOKER: KILLER SMILE #1
WITH the movie dividing opinion, this new comic explores what happens when Joker encounters a new mental health professional – and it’s not Harley Quinn.
Killer Smile introduces, Dr Ben Arnell, a brilliant young professional asked to make some sense of the criminal.
There’s no way Joker could get through the therapeutic walls Ben has built around himself. Right? And there’s no way Joker’s been entering his house at night, and standing over his son’s bed – right?
Joker: Killer Smile #1, £5.40.
SANDMAN UNIVERSE SPECIAL: HELLBLAZER #1
THE second year of the Sandman Universe begins with the long-awaited arrival of one of DC’s much-loved characters – John Constantine, Hellblazer.
In this special one-shot comic, Constantine is on the trail of powerful young sorcerer Tim Hunter.
Having fought him and paid the price, Constantine must figure out whether he’s out to set Tim on the right track, or to avert a terrible outcome for the world.
Sandman Universe Special: Hellblazer #1, £4.50.
GAMES DELAYED
THERE have been a couple of big delays announced this week for gamers.
Fans of Doom, and the Last of Us will be miffed to hear they’ll have to wait a little bit longer to get their hands on new titles.
The Last of Us 2 was due in February 2020, but has been pushed back to May 29, 2020.
Doom Eternal, meanwhile, has been delayed to March 20, 2020.
The Last of Us developer Naughty Dog has been fanning the hype flames surrounding the game. In an interview with PlayStation Magazine, Naughty Dog’s Halley Gross hinted Ellie will be the ‘most complex’ character in gaming, saying: “We’re all working toward a vision about how do you make the most complex, nuanced character in a video game?”
We’ll have a little bit longer to wait and find out.
