Now we have The Calvin and Hobbes Portable Compendium Set 4, marking the middle of our journey with Bill Watterson’s beloved comic strip duo, the first time in many moons that it’s been republished with this much zeal. Some may scoff at the smaller form-factor of these new editions (this being the fourth volume of a planned seven), but there’s no denying these rectangular reprints are extremely well made, look fantastic, and contain some of the best and most creative comic strips ever made.

Since 2014’s Mr. Mercedes Stephen King has treated fans to an unexpected turn in his sizable oeuvre; sausage-factory fiction, the kind pumped out on the regular by literary superstars James Patterson, Michael Connelly, Lee Child and others, applying his gift for characters, dialogue, and Hail Mary horror to the rather predictable world of these soap opera serials.

Remember the Switch? The original console from 2017 that started a hybrid gaming revolution? Things are about to change: the Switch 2 is here and it's bringing a new era of less-questionable ports. One of the first that's going to blow your mind is Street Fighter 6: Years 1-2, the latest and most complete version of Capcom's hit fighter that launched in 2023.

When 28 Days Later hit theaters in 2002, it redefined the zombie genre. Danny Boyle’s gritty vision of an empty London, rage-infected citizens, and humanity on the edge created something raw, immediate, and unforgettable.

AMD took the opportunity to outshine Nvidia by doing one simple thing; make a mainstream gaming graphic card without ripping anybody off. That part didn’t take much effort, considering how much hate Nvidia received with their Blackwell-based GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs at the beginning of this year.

Eight years ago, an eternity in console gaming, Nintendo launched the original Switch, a hybrid mix of home and portable console that embodied everything that was unique and quirky about the company and would become one of the best-selling consoles of all-time. In very un-Nintendo like fashion, however, the house of Mario plays it safe with its successor, the Switch 2, the first direct console sequel and a marked improvement over the original in nearly every way.

Even if boxing isn’t your cup of tea, it’s difficult to deny how well-designed the sport is for building movies around. Few sports are as intimate or personal as a single person, vulnerable, giving his all against another.

Those who’ve followed Alison Bechdel’s career from cartoonist to cultural icon over the years (the term ‘Bechdel Test’ is named for her) knows the creator of the popular ‘Dykes to Watch Out For’ comic strip and several graphic novels knows how to tell a joke about even the most uncomfortable topics. With Spent the focus is on satire, blending reality within a progressive ideological wonderland so exaggerated it feels like a checklist of every liberal trope imaginable, and possibly some new ones created just for this book.

I’ve been a huge Predator fan since seeing the original 1987 classic when I was a kid, and I enjoy watching the famed alien hunters in all of their film entries, both good and bad. It seems like the right person has finally come along to save the franchise and push it to new heights with director Dan Trachtenberg, who brought us 2022’s Prey which placed a surprising and refreshing spin on the film series that it so desperately needed, and he's looking to do it again later this year with Predator: Badlands.

Doom: The Dark Ages, the third entry in Bethesda’s modern reboot of id Software’s iconic grandaddy FPS franchise, does something truly audacious. It takes the two most controversial elements from its predecessor, 2020’s Doom Eternal, i.

If I said Etgar Keret’s Autocorrect was slim, that wouldn’t come as a surprise to fans of the acclaimed Israeli author, nor would the fact that the stories collected inside are on the shorter side. The very shorter side.

Keeping your electronic devices clean can sometimes be a pain, especially when small crevices and vents are involved. Most times a can of compressed air is the go-to for keeping devices clean, but they can possibly be dangerous to use and are expensive.

Ever since I picked up an Apple Watch late last year, I’ve been in the market for a charging system that allows me to charge it as well as my iPhone at the same time if needed. Thanks to our friends at Scosche, I was able to check out their Scosche MagicMount Base Pro that more than fits the bill as it charges just about anything you have with cool features to spare.

There’s a new addition to Michael Connelly's literary family in Nightshade, Detective Sergeant Stilwell, a smart investigator who butted heads with the wrong brass and is now trying to rebuild his life - and career - miles away from the mean streets of Los Angeles. Unlike those of favorites like Harry (and, increasingly, his daughter Maddy) Bosh, Renée Ballard, and Mickey “Lincoln Lawyer” Haller, this adventure is laser-focused on the mystery itself, though Connelly brings the same focused intensity and eye for minute details that’s made him a favorite among crime fiction writers.
