Nap Like Mega Man With A Plus Helmet And Mega Buster
Mega Man may be able to fuel his android bod with E-Tanks, but us regular humans have to settle for food, water, and perhaps most importantly, sleep. With this in mind, Capcom has bridged the man/machine gap with a plush Mega Man helmet and Mega Buster that fans can adorn for any combination of cosplay and napping. It’s not due out until July, but fans can pre-order it through Capcom’s Japanese site for a little more than $60 USD (¥6,090). If I don’t see a few dozen of these at Comic-Con this summer (especially near the Archie Comics and Udon booths), I will be mega disappointed.
‘Batman: Arkham Origins’ To Continue Video Game Series Without Rocksteady
As previously reported, a third game in the Batman Arkham series, Batman: Arkham Origins, is coming out this year, Game Informer has revealed. It’ll be out on October 25. But it’s not what fans of the series might expect, for a few reasons.
Here’s what we know about it so far: It’s a prequel that will take place before either of the other two games in the series and will feature a young Batman meeting many key characters (so far, only Deathstroke has been confirmed). The big news, though, is that Rocksteady Studios, the developer that helmed Arkham Asylum andArkham City, won’t be involved this time. Warner Bros. Games Montreal is taking the reins.
New ‘Lego Marvel Super Heroes’ Images And Gameplay Footage Arrive
It’s been a little while since TT Games loosed some Lego Marvel Super Heroes video game images or footage online, but the company has more than made up for the dry spell with the latest drop of new screen shots and nearly seven minutes of gameplay footage featuring Iron Man, the Hulk and Spider-Man, squaring off against the Abomination and Sandman in New York City. It seems one of the cosmic bricks from Lego Silver Surfer’s smashed board has fallen into the wrong hands, leading to Sandman and cohorts taking over NYC’s Grand Central Terminal. Fortunately for the minifigs citizens of the LMSH world, Nick Fury is extra good at getting Marvel’s heroes to work together to fight evil and pick up the pieces.

‘Infinite Crisis’ DC Comics Multiplayer Online Battle Arena Game Coming This Year
For those who haven’t gotten their fill of fighting in DC Universe Online, it seems a specialized new multiplayer online battle arena game (MOBA) is on its way later this year from Turbine and WB Games. While it’s not based directly on the Geoff Johns-written 2005-2006 DC Comics mega-event of the same name, the new Infinite Crisis game will allow players to battle across shifting environments using “a roster of powerful heroes and villains” from across the multiverse, including Brian Augustyn and Mike Mignola’s Gotham by Gaslight continuity, and the Batman & Dracula trilogy by Doug Moench and Kelley Jones. The game will be free-to-play when it launches on PC later this year, with the official Infinite Crisis website offering a sign-up portal for the eventual Beta. So far Superboy Prime and his reality-warping punches don’t seem to be involved in IC’s narrative, but a “shadowy force” is mentioned as behind the game’s meteor-inflicted plot (maybe the Anti-Monitor?).

Beauty and Horror Mix for the ‘Dead Space’ Art Show
As a big survival horror fan, Dead Space is one of my favorite new video game franchises of recent years. Like any truly scary series, the games are loaded with memorable, haunting imagery that’ll keep players awake at night.
A lot of that imagery has a creepy aesthetic appeal to it, too, which is why it’s no surprise that the series made its way to comics in Antony Johnston and Ben Templesmith’s series back in 2008. It’s likewise no surprise that more artists would want to take a crack at it, as a whole bunch have done for display at a Paris art show this Thursday at Dernier Bar Avant la Fin du Monde. For those of us who can’t head to France this week, the folks at geek-art.net have posted a handful of images in advance of the show. I picked some of my faves at ComicsAlliance.
