Will the Diamond bankruptcy DESTROY small press comic books? Ben Dunn from Antarctic Press seems to think so. With Diamond in Chapter 11, small publishers will probably have to get in line behind big accounts that Diamond owes millions of dollars to. And where does this leave shops?

The new Assassin’s Creed Shadow promo posted is BURYING Yasuke in the background, like how Lucasfilm buried Finn on the Chinese poster for The Force Awakens. Is he still the main character or not? And who’s the chubby kid in the foreground? WTF is even going on with this game??

The plan to save MSNBC in 2025 involves banking on Trump outrage. Are people as outraged over Trump becoming President in 2025 as they were in 2017? Doesn’t feel like it, but good luck with that.

MSNBC’s strategy of focusing on Trump and his controversies to drive viewership may backfire, as public outrage has diminished and the network faces declining ratings and internal challenges.
