Marvel Multiverse Table Top Role-Playing Game - Summer 2023

  A new Marvel TTRPG is heading our way for Summer 2023. I have some really fond memories of the Marvel Superheroes Roleplaying game put out by TSR in the 1980's. It was right along side Dungeons & Dragons as one of my introductory games to ttrpgs. This new game looks to be based purely on a six-sided dice system. The playtest rulebook for the game is available now for anyone who wants to run an early version of the game through its paces before the finalized version comes out next year. I'll admit I'm curious enough make that purchase myself. Here is the official press release from Marvel:  MARVEL LAUNCHING CORE RULEBOOK FOR NEW TABLETOP ROLE-PLAYING GAME IN SUMMER 2023   ‘MARVEL MULTIVERSE ROLE-PLAYING GAME: CORE RULEBOOK’ AVAILABLE JUNE 2023   FOLLOWED BY ‘MARVEL MULTIVERSE ROLE-PLAYING GAME: THE CATACLYSM OF KANG’ AVAILABLE JULY 2023     Use the D616 game system to embody your favorite Super Heroes and Super Villains!     New York, NY— August 22, 2022 –  New adventu

The Dark Knight Returns -- To Be Animated


Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns is still among my favorite Batman stories and overall comic stories. Though, along with The Watchmen, it helped kick start an era of darker, grittier superhero comic books that I look back upon with mixed feelings its a great book and a must read for anyone with an interest in comics. The animated adaptation of this book will be produced by DC Animated.

While I am happy to hear the Dark Knight Returns will be animated. I have my doubts on how happy I'll be with the finished product. Across the board I've been happy with the animation and artwork style used in the DC DVD's its just the stories often seem incomplete or rushed. Something is always left out that I think should've been left in. All Star Superman left out a great deal from the comic book series, the whole Bizarro storyline for example. The New Frontier DVD left out somethings, but I still enjoyed it a great deal. Maybe DKR will find the balance. The animated version of another Frank Miller penned Batman story, Batman: Year One might give me a clue to the quaility of the Dark Knight. Year One is to be previewed at San Diego Comic-con this year.
