April 17's Roxxon Presents: Thor #1 is a tongue-in-cheek satire that offers up an exacting look at what the absolute worst case scenario of corporate comics can be, with the evil Roxxon Corporation, led by the vicious minotaur Dario Agger and powered by the Asgardian villain the Enchantress, having bought and warped all of Thor's adventures into the corporate synergy comic to end all corporate synergy comics.
Colin Farrell says his upcoming Batman spin-off show The Penguin is "dark" and relentless

Colin Farrell says his upcoming neo-noir detective series Sugar and his Batman spin-off show The Penguin are polar opposites – with the later being a complete and total trip to the dark side.
"[John Sugar and The Penguin] couldn't be any further from each other really. You know, don't want to judge anyone here, but I'll just say that Sugar is a man of integrity and decency and honesty and kindness and, and hope. I don't know what Oswald is, but he is not those things," Farrell tells GamesRadar+ with a laugh.
The Penguin sees Farrell reprise his villain role from Matt Reeves' The Batman as he attempts to seize control of Gotham. Created by Lauren LeFranc, The Penguin also stars Cristin Millioti as Sofia Falcone, Clancy Brown as Salvatore Maroni, Michael Zegen as Alberto Falcone, and Michael Kelly as Johnny Vitti.
"Yeah, very different tonally. Very different shows as well. I mean, Sugar, as a show, does explore some of the darker aspects of the human experience, but it doesn't live in them all the time. [The Penguin] is so violent, it's so dark, it's relentless."
Sugar sees Farrell as John Sugar, a private investigator in Los Angeles tasked with finding the missing granddaughter of a big Hollywood producer. It's a stylish trip through the city's seedy underbelly, and sees John attempt to navigate a dangerous situation with a heart of gold. Executive producer Simon Kinberg says he can't wait for viewers to see Farrell in some of the show's most quiet scenes – which he says "showcase just how spectacular Colin is as an actor."
"He's just a fascinating actor, Colin. Obviously he's great in scenes with other actors. He's amazing with Amy Ryan, he's amazing with Kirby. But I find him sometimes just so watchable when he's by himself, and I'm just seeing the expression and the emotion on his face and there's so much going on, Kinberg tells GamesRadar+.
"And that's not always true with actors. And it's certainly not always true with like actors that are as charismatic and leading man as Colin. Sometimes they rely on their charisma or their looks. Colin has this really human element to him."

The Ultimate Crossover: Sand Land Snags Sandstorm by Darude in Its New Story Trailer | Push Square
In what is a frankly unbelievable move, Bandai Namco has managed to secure iconic — and heavily memed — 2000 trance track 'Sandstorm' for its new Sand Land trailer. Honestly, it fits quite well, but we're still in disbelief that the marketing team actually went and got this done. We can only assume that Darude, the original DJ behind Sandstorm, is a massive, diehard fan of the manga and anime property. A dream come true, we're sure.

A free retro Nintendo game emulator is now live on the Apple App Store, and because of recent changes made to Apple's app review guidelines, it's actually permitted to be on there. Whether Nintendo will take kindly to it is another matter, given its stance that "supporting emulation also supports the illegal piracy of our products."

New supernatural TV series Dead Boy Detectives, based on the DC Comics of the same name by Neil Gaiman and Matt Wagner, has had an interesting journey to our screens.

Helldivers 2 is technically free via PlayStation's loyalty program, but only if you've already dropped roughly $1,000 on games in the last year and a half
It's fantastic news for any hardcore fans of PlayStation's somewhat forgettable loyalty program, as it's now possible to grab a copy of Helldivers 2 without spending any extra money. Unfortunately though, that's assuming that you've already spent lots of money in the last year and a half, to the point where claiming this reward really doesn't seem realistic for a lot of people.

Bethesda would "probably say no" to an Elder Scrolls show or movie
With the Fallout live-action show now out and honestly far better than I was expecting, are Bethesda also brewing an adaptation of their other big RPG series, The Elder Scrolls? Not at present, according to Bethesda executive producer Todd Howard, and he says he'd "probably say no" if approached. Mind you, that was the stance he had until Fallout finally fell into place.
