The excellent X-Men ’97 on Disney+ has revitalized interest in the beloved X-Men: The Animated Series, which served as many fans’ introduction to Marvel’s superhero team some 30 years ago. While the waiting game for more X-Men ’97 has begun now that the first season is over, you can still tap into the Animated Series’ stories with X-Men: The Animated Series – The Adaptations Omnibus. The collection brings the animated series full-circle by adapting the show back into comics.
The 1,008-page hardcover omnibus released last year, and Amazon has a pretty awesome deal on the book right now. You can grab a copy for $68.50 (list price is $125), which happens to be the lowest price yet for this X-Men omnibus.

When the PS5 Pro launches in November, dozens of games will benefit from the increase in hardware horsepower, including Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us Part 2. Already a visually impressive game on the base model PS5–which itself was a big upgrade from the original PS4 version–The Last of Us Part 2 on PS5 Pro is aiming for a consistent 4K 60fps experience. As shown by Digital Foundry, it looks like Naughty Dog is hitting this target.
In a tech breakdown, the channel showed off new footage of TLOU2 on PS5 Pro. Using the PS5 Pro hardware in conjunction with Sony’s PSSR upscaling software, TLOU2 is upsampled from a 1440p internal resolution at 60fps to reach its 4K goal, ultimately creating a sharper-looking and smoother game in comparison to the softer graphics seen on base PS5 conso…
Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness, first released in 1995, just received its first balance update in over two decades, nerfing units like Ogre Mages and buffing Archers and Axe Throwers.
Blizzard recently remastered Warcraft 2 (and its predecessor) as part of a new Warcraft Remastered Battle Chest in celebration of the franchise’s 30th anniversary. Far from simply updating the game’s visuals and adding some modern quality-of-life features, Blizzard is also taking a look at gameplay balance.
Most of the changes in the new Warcraft 2: Remastered patch 1.0.1 are related to resource costs and ability durations for various units. Archers and Axe Throwers have received some significant changes to their upgrades, which are now faster to research, deal more…
Jurgen Klopp believes Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson will return from a hamstring injury soon as he is a quick healer .
Henderson limped off early in Liverpool s thrilling 3-3 draw at Arsenal and missed the 5-0 win against Swansea City on Boxing Day as a result.
The England midfielder will not be fit to face either Leicester City on Saturday or Burnley on January 1, but could return to first-team duty swiftly.
It depends on the healing process and if the player is a quick healer or not, Klopp told a news conference on Friday. There are big differences between individuals.
Hendo starts running outside today, [at] which pace and whatever we will see, but he is on a good way.
I don t want to say any date because on the one side it would maybe …
Neither Newcastle United or Brighton and Hove Albion could break their recent slumps in the Premier League, playing out a forgettable 0-0 draw at St James Park on Saturday.
The Seagulls and Magpies went into the game hoping to improve on runs of one win in nine and 11 games respectively, and both looked like sides lacking in form.
Rafael Benitez and former Toon boss Chris Hughton went with expansive-looking line-ups following under-powered defeats to Manchester City and Chelsea respectively last time out, but the contest was too stretched for large parts.
Karl Darlow saved from Lewis Dunk while Mat Ryan denied Isaac Hayden and Dwight Gayle at the other end, although none of the chances were gilt-edged.
The Toon remain just a point above the drop zone, bu…
Julian Draxler has revealed he agreed terms with Juventus ahead of the 2015-16 campaign, but the Serie A champions did not meet Schalke s valuation and he eventually joined Wolfsburg instead.
Juve had earmarked the Germany international to add more creativity to their midfield, but missed out after they failed to agree a fee.
Draxler, 22, has now admitted he was keen to join Juve, but is adamant he is now happy at Wolfsburg.
It was an honour for me that Juventus wanted me and tried so hard to sign me. I have always followed them closely, Draxler told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
I had agreed terms with Juventus, but both clubs could not agree a deal. In the end Wolfsburg wanted me to replace Kevin De Bruyne. But I would have been a Juventus player had n…
