It’s a new week and we’re gearing up for Free Comic Book Day this Saturday! We’ll have a breakdown of a lot of the releases and then coverage from our shops on the big day! Stay tuned for one of the best weekends of the year! While you wait for Saturday, here’s some comic news and reviews from around the web.
Kabam’s award-winning mobile fighter Marvel Contest of Champions debuted all-new content themed after the upcoming Marvel Studios film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The Champion Reveal trailerintroduces two new Champions, inspired by the film, coming to the popular mobile fighter – Wong and Rintrah. Also, the master of mystical arts himself Doctor Strange will join all rosters of new and existing Summoners free for players who download and log in before June 8. With over 200 Champions in The Contest, players can also add other legendary MCU-inspired characters to their roster from the film including Mordo, America Chavez, Scarlet Witch and more!
Here is a quick look at what The Contest has in store this month:
An unseen enemy has begun to weaken the magical wards that help protect The Battlerealm, and it falls to Wong to stop them! Teaming up with America Chavez and the mystical minotaur Rintrah, Wong will need all his wits and wisdom to overcome this mysterious foe.
A Master of the Mystic Arts and the current Sorcerer Supreme (through a technicality), Wong is a stoic individual that has devoted his life to protecting the Sanctum Sanctorum using the Mystic Arts of Kamar-Taj, taking on the mantle of his former master, the Ancient One. While his applications of the mystic arts may not be as robust as those of previous Sorcerer Supremes, his vast knowledge and familiarity with tomes and magical relics make him a more than capable adversary, on and off the battlefield.
Rintrah is a being from another dimension, hailing from the planet R’Vaal. His mystical potential was first realized by Enitharmon the Weaver, who started Rintrah’s training in the ways of magic. Traveling from his homeworld, Rintrah began apprenticing under the sorcerer supreme himself, Doctor Strange. Combining the power of arcane might and the brute strength of hoof and horn, Rintrah is a force to be reckoned with by any who would dare threaten him or the Sanctum Sanctorum.
Set your reminders! Rintrah will arrive in-game May 12 and Wong on May 26. In the meantime, fans can now check out Rintrah and Wong in the all-new Champion Trailer – Strange Fates – and catch up on The Battlerealm with character Deep Dive and Special Moves content on the official Marvel Contest of Champions YouTube channel.
Other Marvel Contest of Champions updates, including bug fixes, balance updates, the Eternity of Pain challenge, trials, and more can be found HERE.
It’s a new week! We’ve got a lot coming at you and we’re excited for the week! We’re kicking things off with some news you might have missed from around the web.
The fate of the Multiverse awaits. Tickets for Marvel Studios’ Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness go on sale April 6. Experience it only in theaters May 6.
The two geeks intend to talk about the reveals around what would be the Toy Fair weekend, but instead start off talking about Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and then swiftly take a series of movie related tangents involving The Batman, possible directions the movies will take and potential cameos. In short it’s a glorious mess. Toys do make an appearance at the end.
