We’re just a few months from the big-screen debut of Black Adam, the film that will finally introduce Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s unconventional antihero to the masses. The film has undergone some major evolutions in the near-decade since Johnson was first cast in the titular role, including the reveal in late 2019 that the film would co-star members of the Justice Society of America. Prior to Black Adam’s theatrical debut, DC is giving fans a chance to get acquainted with the members of the JSA through a series of one-shot comics, which shed a bit more light on their respective status quos prior to the events of the movie....

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II is supposedly bringing back a couple of classic maps very soon. The Call of Duty franchise is home to some of the most iconic maps in shooter history. Rust, Favela, Shipment, and many others paint a perfect picture in your head just when you hear the name.

Last month, Wizards of the Coast released a statement detailing a framework for an upcoming “update” to the OGL, which included a royalty fee for creators who made more than $750,000 in revenue off of works that used the new OGL....

Published in 2004, Swedish author John Ajvide Lindqvist’s novel Let the Right One In not only offered readers a complex and unconventional vampire story, but its inventive path also highlighted just how desperate audiences were for a new approach to the stagnated genre. Only two years after publication, the process of developing a live-action film based on the story began, with that 2008 film winning over horror fans, as well as offering such a gripping story that its accomplishments appealed to those who often overlooked the horror world....

Ric Flair took part in his final pro wrestling match at the end of SummerSlam weekend on July 31.

Stoma By: BD Editors Last Updated: June 23, 2017 Stoma Definition In plants, a stoma is a tiny pore in the surface of a leaf that is used for gas exchange.

The term “stoma” comes from the Greek word for “mouth.” Groups of more than one stoma are often called “stomata” rather than “stomas,” because “stomata” is the Greek way of pluralizing “stoma....
