Spider-Man takes a look at the vast playground of New York in its latest gameplay trailer, which includes very brief glimpses at some truly famous Marvel households.

Spider-Man is just a couple of weeks away, which means it's about time for a sizzling new launch trailer. Here's a whole minute of gameplay to get you psyched.

I didn’t really like Insomniac’s Sunset Overdrive. The whole thing was just a little too churlish and juvenile for my tastes – but there’s no denying that the gameplay itself was fantastic, especially when it came to locomotion and traversal. Getting around in sunset overdrive – with its free-form zip-line skating - was a dream. And it's the basis for Spider-Man's fluid movement.

From The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl to the rebirth of Bloodshot and the return of the Sandman universe, here are the very best comic book covers of the week.

What If? has mostly been a brand with sporadic appearances, confined to limited one-shots and mini-series since the 2000s.

Comic books! Get yer comic books! Hot off the press, right here! But which one to buy? They say that you can’t judge a book by its cover, but does that rule apply to comic books? Yes and no I reckon.
