Dragon Ball brings back Gogeta

Dragon Ball has brought Gogeta — Goku and Vegeta’s Fusion Dance form — back and made him better than ever, in the latest episode of the Dragon Ball Heroes promotional anime. The current storyline of Dragon Ball Heroes has seen the mastermind villain Fu create his own mirror universe, populated by a fearsome line-up of classic Dragon Ball villains (like Freeza and Cooler), previous Dragon Ball Heroes villains (Cumber and Hearts), and a new alternate version of Goku Black.

With that level of threat in front of them, it’s no surprise that Goku and Vegeta would need to fuse, and take Gogeta’s power to the next level! It would be interesting to see what happens if (when) their contrasting powers unite in a Fusion again.


Archie teams with Webtoon for big Ethel series

Weeks after DC announced that they would team with Webtoon for a slate of new titles on the digital-comics platform, Archie Comics is following suit, teaming with Webtoon to develop a new, digital series titled Big Ethel Energy.

Big Ethel Energy showcases the Riverdale character as fans have never seen her before —a grown-up Ethel who is confident and carries her head high. With a fresh take on the classic Archie Comics character, Big Ethel Energy focuses on a story about coming into adulthood and finding inner strength, but also about the importance of growth, change and forgiveness. The new episodes of the series will roll out weekly on Webtoon.


Marvel Announces Ben Reilly, Spider-Man

As Peter Parker’s clone prepares to take over the Spider-Man mantle again in Amazing Spider-Man Beyond, Marvel Comics will also revisit Ben Reilly’s first time as Spider-Man, when he believed he was the real Peter Parker, in Ben Reilly, Spider-Man.

Ben Reilly: Spider-Man flashes back to a bygone era of the Marvel Universe to tell previously untold tales of Ben’s time as Spider-Man. According to the plot summary provided by Marvel Comics in a press release, murders are piling up in New York City, and they may all be connected. At the same time, a mysterious figure from Ben’s past returns and the Raven croft Institute for the Criminally Insane may hold the key to their identity.
