Comics news roundup for Halloween night 🎃 Italy is giving comics a permanent home. Italy's Culture Ministry, Tuscany, and the city of Lucca signed an agreement to create a Lucca Comics Museum in the city's old tobacco factory. That's a fitting spot, since "fumetti," the Italian word for comics, comes from word balloons that look like puffs of smoke. A foundation to run it has to be in place by March 31, 2027, and it will cover comics, illustration, games, and animation year-round. @LuccaCandG Lucca also brought back the Oesterheld Award after 40 years. It honors The Eternaut creator Héctor Germán Oesterheld, who was disappeared in 1977 under Argentina's dictatorship. His nephew Martín accepted it on Oct 29. Frank Miller says his upcoming Dark Horse series Invasive Species, drawn by Ryan Benjamin and due in 2027, grew out of COVID-era paranoia and the 1950s alien-invasion movies. The invaders aren't spaceships. They're tiny aliens that get in through your ears. @DarkHorseComics Godzilla Conquers the Multiverse #4 ends with Omeg, the shy creature Miles Morales met in prehistoric times, showing up fully bulked out to fight the King of the Monsters. There's one issue left. @Marvel And Marvel Zombies: War Zone #2 confirms that Jessica Jones was one of the first victims of the new outbreak, turned while protecting Luke and Dani. War Zone #3 brings zombie Daredevil and Bullseye on Nov 25. #ComicBooks #Comics #Marvel #DarkHorse #LuccaComicsAndGames #Godzilla #MarvelZombies

Go Nagai took home a lifetime achievement Yellow Kid. ROM IS BACK. The Space Knight returns in Void Rivals #36 from @RobertKirkman and Conor Hughes on Nov 25.

🎃 Happy Halloween, gamers! Here's the news from the last 24 hours that's worth a scroll 👇 ⚙️ GEARS, GAME PASS & THE MONEY QUESTION Sources tell @verge that Gears of War: E-Day has sold over 400K copies across console and PC, and @IGN says Game Pass is likely to blame. Now the timeline is split down the middle. Should Game Pass subscribers ALSO buy the game to "support" it, or is that on Xbox to fix? @XboxGamePass 💔 EA'S BIOWARE FALLOUT KEEPS GETTING WORSE @eurogamer recaps that @EA cut 400 jobs and closed BioWare, letting most of its remaining ~50 staff go. A new report highlighted by @GameSpot says EA had to pick between funding a new Mass Effect and backing Star Wars: Battlefront 3. And Battlefront 3 isn't even in development yet. Oof. #SaveMassEffect ⚔️ ONE BRIGHT SPOT: JEDI 3 @jasonschreier says Respawn's next Star Wars Jedi game is far along in development and should be announced soon. Cal Kestis isn't done yet. #StarWarsJedi 🗡️ ASSASSIN'S CREED @Ubisoft says more Assassin's Creed games are on the way, but don't expect more remakes like Black Flag Resynced anytime soon (via @IGN). 📦 DEATH STRANDING GOES ANIME Kojima Productions revealed the first trailer for Death Stranding Isolations, an original anime series coming to Disney+ next year. 🏎️ END OF AN ERA AT TURN 10 The Forza director is leaving Microsoft after 27 years at Turn 10, following the studio's merger with Playground Games (via @eurogamer). 👻 HALLOWEEN PICKS Look Outside, the creepy pixel-art horror RPG from @DevolverDigital, just hit Switch, Switch 2, PS4 and PS5 for $9.99. Just don't look outside. Meanwhile, Persona 5 Royal turned 7 with a big sale, and Civilization III turned 25. "Just one more turn" has now been ruining sleep schedules for a quarter century. 🏛️ What's the biggest story for you today? 👇 #Gaming #GamingNews

I had to tell someone who has been into crypto for a while now how to unhide his tokens/coins in Phantom wallet today. It amazed me because I know this person has been into NFTs and meme coins for years. He actually thought he was victim of a rug pull and his coins were taken. It worries me that there are probably others that have no clue how to use their soft wallets. #Crypto #NFTs

I have a comic that I was trying to sell on eBay but I had no idea how to price it because it is a 9.9 with signature and sketch and only 8 are on the CGC registry. I had trouble taking pics of it because of glare from lights. I don’t think that is why it is selling. It may be more because I did not know how much to price it because as far as I can tell none have ever sold at 9.9. I’ll link the eBay listing. Is there a better place to sell because the eBay fees are fairly high? ebay.com/itm/307192937970

🗞️ Friday night comics news roundup 🧵 🔹 BIG CHANGES AT MARVEL? @zdarsky says new EIC Steve Wacker's first creative retreat wasn't about pitching events. It was about listening to creators' grievances and fixing "institutional stuff." Chip's take: "We are here to tell great stories."

🎮 Friday Gaming News Roundup: GTA VI hype, Kojima's big night, and a sad goodbye 🕊️ RIP Sir Patrick Stewart (86). Picard, Professor X, and for us gamers, Emperor Uriel Septim in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. That opening tutorial hit different because of his voice. 💔 🌴 GTA VI is 20 days out (Nov 19, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S).

Players love the turn-based combat and HD-2D look, and Polygon says @SquareEnix should never make an FF without turn-based combat again. Agree or disagree? 👇 👊 Sega and RGG Studio revealed Lionel Rafale for Virtua Fighter Crossroads (2027).

Halloween one-shot tip from a weekend-table guy: Give the players one safe room early. Let them rest there, stash loot, feel good. Then halfway through, take it away. Nothing builds dread like losing the one place they trusted. What's your go-to scare trick? #TTRPG

That's the 4th-biggest single-player launch in Steam history, and it isn't even counting PS5. Players want great games, not more live service. Agree or disagree? 👇 #PhantomBladeZero #Gaming

Rest in peace, Sir Patrick Stewart (1940–2026) 🕊️ He died Oct. 28 at 86. For a whole generation he WAS Professor Charles Xavier: calm, kind and the moral center of the X-Men. Marvel Studios and Kevin Feige praised him for bringing Xavier to life "with extraordinary grace, intelligence and humanity," and Marvel confirmed his last on-screen role will be Professor X in Avengers: Doomsday on Dec. 18. That one's going to hit hard. More from the past day: 🦇 James Gunn says DCU Batman casting "isn't far away." The actor doesn't have to be a movie star, but he'll be about the same age as Superman. 🃏 Gunn also says Harley Quinn is "almost certainly" coming to the DCU, and if Margot Robbie wants the role, he'll bend over backwards to make it work. 🎬 DC Vertigo's Hide Nor Hair (Adam Smith/Bob Quinn) launches Jan. 6, 2027. It's a six-issue revenge fantasy set in 1950s Hollywood, where an overlooked effects artist finds out the monster masks she made are alive. #PatrickStewart #XMen #ProfessorX #DCU #Batman #HarleyQuinn #Vertigo #comics @MarvelStud

🎮 Thursday night gaming roundup: here's what dropped today 👇 ⚔️ Phantom Blade Zero came out swinging. S-GAME's wuxia action RPG hit a 723,876 concurrent peak on Steam on launch day.

Steam reviews are sitting at Very Positive, though PC players are flagging shader stutter. 🌴 Edge's GTA VI cover story is live. Rockstar North's Rob Nelson played 90 unscripted minutes, and Leonida is roughly twice the size of GTA V's map, with buses and trains, fuel gauges, police K9s and a Criminal Profile that runs from "Professional" to "Irredeemable."
