The shroom have signed their second label deal with Napalm Record this time. Hopefully this means we will be seeing that new album from them soon!
Devildriver
True to his word Dez Fafara and company have just finished recording their record they will be releasing this year.

Star Wars
Rian Johnson made the announcement at CinemaCon that he will dive into his trilogy in a galaxy far far away once he finishes his current movie, the crime thriller Knives Out.
Suicide Squad
Seems that Idris Elba WON’T be Deadshot in the movie. Variety says now that he will be playing an undisclosed role. The Deadshot character has reportedly been scrapped all together. Also it was announced that Viola Davis will also be reprising her role as Amanda Waller. Joel Kinnaman has been reported to returning as Rick Flag, AND Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang.
Mortal Kombat
Boon told Game Informer during the rapid fire 166 question Q&A that a script exists. He echoed James Wan’s sentiments about trying to get the right budget. It honestly seems that WB is waiting to see the success of the release of MK11 before signing off on a proper sized budget to do the movie some justice.
Gaming
Mortal Kombat 11
Kombat Kast today revealed Kollector, Noob Saibot, and Erron Black gameplay. Kollector looks like the most tournament ready so far of the new characters.
Smash Bros
Is 343 teasing Master Chief in the nintendo fighter? In a recent Twitter exchange with Twitter Gaming, that might be what they are doing… or it is just wishful thinking on their part.
Apex: Legends
There have been 6 weapons potentially leaked for the game. It is possible that they are leftovers from the Titanfall code. But it is fun to imagine. One of them being an RPG that could change things pretty drastically, as it would be a new weapon class. Though we were supposed to get rocket launchers, and I have yet to see those as well.
One of them was leaked back when the Havoc leaked, the L-Star, and there have been shots of the skins and such leaked out too. Though it is likely this will be another Legendary weapon.

Fortnite
The long running champion of Battle Royale games is now adding a respawn feature…
This coming right on the heels of their announcement of the removal of the feature that widens the viewfield.
Comic Books
Major X
SPOILERS!!
In issue one they reveal the identity of Rob Liefeld’s newest creation. Alexander Nathaniel Summers, he is Cable’s son, and therefore Cyclops’ grandson… this is a weird family.
Batman #70
4 weeks ahead of time the solicitation has changed to remove Thomas Wayne Batman. Is Tom King changing his “plan?” Or is this an editorial decision? Either way it will likely prove to be a poor choice.
