The drip-feed of reveals for the spiritual successor to Marvel vs. Capcom continued this weekend at EVO Japan. Sony and developer Arc Systems took the opportunity to announce two new additions to the roster for Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, and they probably won’t be surprising anyone. Savage Hulk and Shuri as Black Panther will be rounding out the Avengers side of the fighting game’s initial 20-character roster.

An upcoming PvP Assassin’s Creed with the codename “Invictus” has been rumored to be in the pipeline for years. Youtuber Jonathan, who has shared accurate leaks in the past, now claims to have been told about a private playtest for the spin-off held last month. The results, they claim, aren’t so great, leading to speculation that the negative feedback could imperil the game’s ongoing development as Ubisoft cuts projects right and left.

After several days of speculation from fans and fellow artists alike, Wizards of the Coast has released a statement confirming that the recently revealed The One Ring artwork, which is set to release in the upcoming Magic: The Gathering set The Hobbit (Universes Beyond), was “unfortunately” plagiarized by renowned MtG artist Dan Frazier. The controversy surrounding The One Ring artwork has been rapidly building for a few days now, bolstered in part by this thread on the r/magicTCG subreddit.

In 2013, cartoonist KC Green set webcomics ablaze with a strip titled “On Fire.” In it, a bespoke cartoon dog (nicknamed “Question Hound”) enjoys a warm beverage while the world around him is aflame. “This Is Fine,” he says.
