Review – Justice League Unlimited #7: The Omega Gambit
Justice League Unlimited #7 cover, via DC Comics. Ray: 'We Are Yesterday' is reaching its final act, and it's not looking good for the good guys. Inferno, better known as the Legion of Doom of yesterday, has invaded the present and used their time guns to scatter the Justice League across the timestream. With only Elongated Man left to oppose them, the stretchy hero is quickly overwhelmed and tortured in a pretty disturbing sequence before Grodd gets to his real plan – the Omega Rift, the hole ripped in time and space by Darkseid's death. It contains all the power in the Multiverse, and the plan is to divide it among the villains. Of course, that assumes everyone is willing to play fair and equal – something that lasts exactly as long as it takes for Luthor to get suspicious. All hell breaks loose, and when the smoke clears, one villain is left standing as the biggest threat he's ever been. And the heroes are nowhere to be seen – but they're about to get an unlikely assist. Battle for the Watchtower. Via DC Comics. There are some great segments of the heroes being stranded in time – both in the distant past, and in the far future – cut off from every possible way to get home and with their powers rapidly draining in some cases. And the one to blame for this is Air Wave, who was coerced into betraying the team by the lies and psychic influence of Grodd, and was then seemingly killed off right before the invasion began. But not all is what it seems, and the reveal of exactly what's happened to him is surprisingly clever and sets up a big showdown between the heroes and villains next month. But which heroes, exactly? The final page brings forward a group of characters I never thought I would see gracing a Justice League title, and that kind of unpredictability is what's making this book so much fun. Mark Waid has the entirety of the DCU to play with here, and he's making the most of it. To find reviews of all the DC issues, visit DC This Week. GeekDad received this comic for review purposes.

Hidden realities: 7 Behind the scenes secrets that could have changed the MCU forever
Ant Man The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has become a cultural phenomenon, weaving intricate storylines and introducing iconic characters that have captivated audiences worldwide. However behind the scenes, numerous creative decisions and near-misses could have dramatically altered the trajectory of this cinematic juggernaut. Here are seven lesser-known behind-the-scenes facts that shed light on the MCU's evolution. Iron man's almost cameo in Sam Raimi's Spiderman 2 In the early 2000s, Marvel contemplated integrating Tony Stark into Sam Raimi's Spider-Man universe. Plans were in motion for Stark to assist Dr. Otto Octavius in developing his mechanical arms in 'Spider-Man 2.' However, this crossover was ultimately shelved possibly due to the lukewarm reception of Spider-Man 3. This decision delayed Iron Man's cinematic debut until 2008, when Robert Downey Jr. donned the suit in a film that would launch the MCU. Gal Gadot's near role as Nebula Before Karen Gillan's portrayal of Nebula in 'Guardians of the Galaxy,' the role was offered to Gal Gadot. Scheduling conflicts and budgetary constraints led Gadot to decline, paving the way for her iconic role as Wonder Woman in the 'DC Extended Universe.' Interestingly, Jason Momoa was also considered for the role of Drax, suggesting a potential MCU lineup reminiscent of the Justice League. Wasp's intended introduction in 'The Avengers' Joss Whedon initially planned to introduce Janet van Dyne, the original Wasp, in 2012's 'The Avengers.' Concerns over Scarlett Johansson's availability as Black Widow prompted Whedon to consider Wasp as a replacement. Ultimately, Johansson reprised her role and Wasp's introduction was postponed until Ant-Man and the Wasp in 2018. A week that shaped the MCU A fascinating detail from the MCU timeline reveals that the events of 'Iron Man 2,' 'The Incredible Hulk' and 'Thor' all transpire within the same week. This convergence of storylines underscores the interconnectedness of the MCU and sets the stage for the formation of the Avengers. Benedict Cumberbatch's dual role in 'Doctor Strange' In 'Doctor Strange,' Benedict Cumberbatch not only portrayed the titular character but also lent his voice and motion capture performance to the film's antagonist, Dormammu. This dual role showcases Cumberbatch's versatility and adds a unique layer to the film's production. Tom Hiddleston's brief turn as Captain America During the filming of 'Thor: The Dark World,' Tom Hiddleston donned Captain America's costume for a scene where Loki impersonates the superhero. While Chris Evans ultimately portrayed the scene in the final cut, Hiddleston's version remains a testament to the playful dynamics on set. Captain America's early cameo in 'The Incredible Hulk' A deleted scene from 'The Incredible Hulk' features a glimpse of Captain America's frozen body, predating his official introduction in 'Captain America: The First Avenger.' This early nod to the character highlights Marvel's long-term vision for its interconnected universe. These behind the scenes revelations offer a glimpse into the complex decision-making processes that have shaped the MCU. Each choice from casting decisions to storyline adjustments has contributed to the rich tapestry that continues to captivate audiences worldwide.

Review – DC X Sonic the Hedgehog #3: The Pinch-Hitters
DC X Sonic the Hedgehog #3 cover, via DC Comics. Ray: Crossovers are always best when they can put the characters in new situations, and it seems like this one is going to essentially take place in multiple acts. After a two-issue team-up of Sonic's crew and the Justice League, Darkseid managed to gain the upper hand – and the result was the Justice League being trapped on Angel Island, while Sonic and friends were shunted back to Earth. With the help of Mr. Terrific, they're able to get their bearings and agree to take over for the missing Justice League – with each of them taking over the beat of the hero they're closest to. Tails takes up with the Teen Titans (and gets some temporary cyborg enhancements), while each of the others heads to one of the DCU's most famous locales to take on some of the worst villains around. But almost all the villains seem upgraded somehow – and they all have a new piece of jewelry to go with it. Missing in Action. Via DC Comics. Silver teams up with the Green Lantern Corps, taking on Sinestro and Parallax in an epic space battle. Amy Rose has the time of her life with Hawkgirl and Supergirl, defending Washington from Grodd. Shadow fills in for Batman in Gotham, battling the Joker and proving to be far less willing to do the regular dance with him. Sonic proceeds to outrace Reverse Flash and drive him nuts with banter. And in the best segment, Knuckles has a parlay with Lex Luthor, who tries to get one over on the super-strong echidna. And each of these villains turns out to have a Chaos Emerald, bring them one short of the number they need to unite them – but giving them the answers they've been looking for. Next issue promises to fill us in on where the Justice League has been (likely wrangling Robotnik). Overall, even though this story has to handle a ton of storylines, it's been a lot of fun so far.
