I’m not sure if it’s just because I missed it or if it’s actually that good, but Justice League #44 is one of the most entertaining single issues of a Justice League book I’ve ever read. And that’s an incredible statement, because just in this volume alone, we’ve had Scott Snyder and his art crews take on the multiverse. But even though the stakes dropped (relatively) when he came on board, the stories Robert Venditti has been telling are exactly what you would want out of a Justice League comic....

One of the biggest and most disappointing surprises from this morning’s Academy Award nominations announcement is the snubbing of Greta Gerwig in the Best Director category. Despite the Oscars recognizing Little Women with six nominations, including Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay for Gerwig, her direction was noticeably omitted among the five Best Director nominees. The five who were selected though were, once again, all male. This is not a total surprise, however, given that the Academy has only nominated five women for Best Director in its 92-year history, and only one has won....
You’d better watch out, Pokémon GO fans from Long Island. The Big Apple area is currently playing host to a big swarm of one particular (hugely-irritating) Pokémon. Now, there are many players that have precious little luck with Pokémon GO. That’s just how super-low spawn rates work.

However, this update did also add a new pet to the game store, and fans are utterly preoccupied with how ugly it is.
