Details of the story are being kept mostly under wraps, but Marvel does tell us that both the Scarlet Witch and Doctor Doom will try (and apparently fail to some degree) to contain the Darkhold from wreaking it’s magical destruction across the Marvel Universe.  The company was kind enough to share the covers to two of the upcoming special issues, Darkhold: Iron Man #1 and Darkhold: Blade #1, as well […]

Well, next year you’ll be able to get a one step closer to living that dream, thanks to a new escape room event. Escape rooms, for those who may not be familiar with the concept, are a sort of real life adventure/puzzle game, in which groups of players are locked in a room from which they must escape within a given time limit. In other words, it’s basically ‘Saw II’ without the body horror. If you think that sounds like the perfect fit for a ‘Legend of Zelda’ theme, you’re not alone. The fine folks at Nintendo and renowned escape room designers SCRAP have teamed up to produce a ‘Zelda’ themed escape room, dubbed ‘The Legend of Zelda: Defenders of the Triforce’. SCRAP is specifically describing this as something other than a typical escape room. According to the event’s website, ‘Defenders of the Triforce’ is a “story-based escape event designed for puzzle fans and fans of the ‘Zelda’ franchise” with an event space that will allow multiple teams to participate at the same time and provide each team with a workspace.

Typically, a theatrical screening accompanies some sort of momentous event for ‘Doctor Who’, and for longtime fans there are few events more momentous than the recovery or restoration of a lost episode. In conjunction with Fathom Events, BBC America has announced a special, one night only theatrical screening of ‘The Power of the Daleks’. The serial, of which all six episodes are among the 97 currently missing from the BBC archive, first aired in 1966 during the show’s fourth season. It is arguably the most noteworthy (and sought after) of the missing serials, as it featured the introduction of Patrick Troughton as the Second Doctor. Because the original episodes remain missing, the serial has been restored in its entirety through the use of animation. The BBC has previously animated individual episodes missing from otherwise complete serials for release on DVD (an example being  the DVD release of ‘The Tenth Planet’, which includes the three extant episodes and an animated version of the fourth), but this represents both the first time this […]
