X-Men comics have always been about the future. They are, after all, stories about mutants, the next stage in human evolution. The central tension dividing Professor Charles Xavier and his best friend Magneto is how to go into that future, either working with humanity or ruling them.
X-Men comics have also always been very, very confusing, with their frequent tales of clones, shape-changers, and alternate realities.
Given those two facts, it’s no wonder that X-Men creators would embrace time travel as a storytelling conceit, throwing Marvel’s Merry Band of Mutants far into the future or launching them deep into the past. The results vary, but these fifteen tales represent the best, and sometimes most headache inducing, of the X-Men’s adventures across time.

The 1990 crossover Days of Future Present is only half an X-Men story, as Franklin Richards is the main character.

Who were the Berserker warriors featured in ? Madison Margolin, editorial director and co-founder of the psychedelics and mental health publication DoubleBlind, dives into the wild world of the bearskin-clad battlers.
Like ferocious, feral animals, a wild pack of Viking warriors would work themselves into crazed, rabid states before battle, wearing bearskin coverings and little else over their nearly naked bodies. Meet the Berserkers, the legendary warriors of the Viking era.
The etymology of the word berserk comes from the Old Norse berserkr, which means “raging warrior of superhuman strength.” The term is a combination of the words for ‘bear’ or ‘bare’ (which of these it is specifically is up for debate), and ‘shirt’ or ‘coat’ (serkr), and in the words of 9th-century poet Þorbjörn Hornklofi, “The Berserkers howled [and] gods were in their minds.”
Indeed, some historians speculate that the frenzied, trancelike states that characterized the Berserkers’ savage behavior...

Kentaro Miura’s Berserk has remained on top of the psychological gore genre for years. Miura himself might not be amongst us, but he has left a legacy for other mangakas.
Berserk has always hit the sweet spot of dark fantasy lovers, and more so because it is not like a typical Shonen series. It is distinct from manga like Dragon Ball, One Piece, or Naruto and is more realistic. In a past interview, Miura revealed how his series avoided a common Shonen cliche.
Kentaro Miura on Character Development in Berserk Guts in Berserk manga
In an interview with French Journal, La Figaro, Kentaro Miura revealed how he kept Berserk from suffering from typical Shonen issues. According to the author, a common situation in Shonen manga is the arrival of more incredible enemies along with stronger and stronger power-ups and weapons. Miura calls this inflation in the manga.

The adventure of Guts in the Berserk manga began once again, one year after the death of its creator, Kentaro Miura. His best friend, Kouji Mori, who is also a manga creator known for works like Holyland, Jisatsutou, and Destroy and Revolution, collaborated with the artists at Studio Gaga to continue the legacy of Miura.
Guts in Berserk
Miura and Mori have been together since high school, and they have known each other for over 40 years. They both dreamed of becoming manga creators together, and Mori was the only one who knew the ending of Berserk. He is the perfect individual to complete Miura’s masterpiece, and the recent chapters that have been released by Studio Gaga prove it.
Miura’s genius is widely reflected in Berserk. The series is considered one of the best mangas of all time by many. Even Mori believed that Miura was a gifted artist,...

Arrowhead Gaming Studios’ Helldivers 2 is certainly one of the most popular games in the world right now, so naturally, many other developers are looking to collaborate with Arrowhead to give fans exclusive crossovers. Dead by Daylight‘s official X account recently posted a Player Satisfaction Survey in which fans were asked to answer various questions about the game.
Helldivers 2
One of these questions asked fans to describe their experience with various popular video games and Helldivers 2 was also a part of this list. The list consisted of many other games like Payday 2, Left 4 Dead, and Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach. Many fans believe that this survey was conducted in order to analyze players’ demand and plan a crossover accordingly.
A crossover between Dead by Daylight and Helldivers 2 is indeed a bit unusual but there is a character in the game that could lead the Automatons in this crossover: Berserker.

It was previously announced that Studio Eclypse is remaking Kentaro Miura’s hit manga series, Berserk, with the title, Berserk: The Black Swordsman. Recently, the studio released a new key visual on their official X (Formerly Twitter) account for the new trailer which will be released in May 2024.
Berserk
But that’s not all. It has also been revealed that Berserk will return with chapter 376 in Young Animal magazine issues 9–10 on April 26, 2024. This will be the first time fans will receive a new chapter in four months. The chapter will be introduced with a color page, but no other information has been disclosed.
Berserk is one of the best manga series out there, but it has never got a decent anime adaptation that could do justice to Miura’s magnum opus. Therefore fans have a lot of expectations from Berserk: The Black Swordsman. As soon as this double-good news hit the internet,...

Helldivers 2 has quickly become a massive success. This third-person co-op shooter went beyond everyone’s expectations in sales and is still going strong. The reason for this success is pretty self-explanatory; it is a very well-made game. In the sea of live service titles that are released every day, this gamer stands out due to its well-designed gameplay mechanics and polish.
But like any other well-made game, it challenges its players. Various hard-to-defeat enemies crowd its levels. Several bosses take more than just shooting to be defeated. Berserkers, devastators, hulks, and tanks are the worst of those enemies. Here are some tips and tricks that can make defeating them easier.
How to easily defeat Berserkers in Helldivers 2
Helldivers 2 Berserker
Berserker is a heavily armored enemy that belongs to the Automaton faction of Helldivers 2. They are a tough egg to crack, but they are not much of a problem if players keep their distance.

As one of the best combat classes in Baldur’s Gate 3, Barbarians can easily earn a spot in just about every kind of party. Of course, you won’t get the most out of your Barbarian if you don’t pick the best subclass for you.
Once again, the phrase “for you” should hover over this entire discussion. Baldur’s Gate 3 is a remarkably well-balanced game, which means that you have a fair chance of guiding any kind of Barbarian through this expansive adventure however you see fit. Wrong decisions in this game are certainly possible, but they’re relative to what you’re trying to get out of the experience.
Having said that, those who are trying to “min/max” and get the most mileage out of the Barbarian class from a statistical standpoint should certainly consider some subclasses to be more viable than others. So far as that goes,...

Much like Druids, Barbarians struggled during Diablo 4‘s betas. However, long-time Diablo fans knew that the class would find its way once the game really started to open up. Well, that’s exactly what happened. In fact, Barbarians have arguably been the most “nerfed” class in Diablo 4 since the game’s launch.
Those recent alternations leave Barbarians in a strange place. Their build diversity was already lacking, and their most viable early builds were quickly nerfed. However, it turns out that Barbarians are still ridiculously powerful in the Endgame., You just have to know what makes them tick and how to support that strategy. Of course, that’s what we’re here to do.
As with our other recent builds, this article will (temporarily) not cover Paragon Boards. That’s largely because Paragon boards are still being optimized and because

Diablo 4 can be a surprisingly tough game. Whether you’re trying to level or working your way through the extensive endgame content, you will likely find yourself hitting a wall from time to time. When that happens, you’re going to want to make sure your character build is optimized.
Diablo 4 is surprisingly generous when it comes to build possibilities There are so many ways to build a viable version of your favorite class, and we’ve barely scratched the surface of what is possible. Even still, a few impressive build options for each of the game’s classes have already emerged. Those are some of the builds we’ll be looking at today.
Before we dive into that, though, here are a few things to keep in mind.

Warning: this post contains spoilers for episode 2 of "She-Hulk."
Anyone feeling a little more smashy, lately? That might have something to do with how all things Hulk-related are suddenly a topic of conversation after the release of "She-Hulk: Attorney At Law." Though predominantly focused on hardworking lawyer Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany) navigating her abilities as a gamma-irradiated Hulk alongside her legal career, "She-Hulk" has also featured the character's cousin, Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner, in a key supporting role in the early going. His appearances have only stirred up even more excitement among fans about the original Avenger's role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe moving forward, which the actor himself is now weighing in on.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Ruffalo speculated about all the different directions that the character could travel in the years ahead. Having played both mild-mannered Bruce and the mindless, rage-filled Hulk in "The Avengers,...

French genre specialists La Fabrica Nocturna Cinéma (“The Heiresses”) and Basque indie label Sayaka Producciones (“70 Big Ones”) have joined previously announced producers Sr. & Sra. – an up-and-coming San Sebastian-based production house owned by Moreno and producer-director Leire Apellániz – on director Pablo Hernando’s (“Berserker”) genre thriller “One Whale.”
Madrid-based Latido Films has also signed on as international sales agent for the buzzy new project.
Early announced casting includes Spanish Academy Goya-nominated actors Ingrid García-Jonsson and Eneko Sagardoy, two of the most exciting and busiest rising stars in Spanish cinema.
“One Whale” follows Ingrid, a crack assassin known for her ability to get out of even the most seemingly hopeless situations. How she manages to always escape is a secret she guards closely. Utilizing a power with origins from another world, inhabited by monstrous creatures, Ingrid always escapes without a trace. However, the power extracts a toll, and each time she emerges from that dark place,...

Try as it might to prevent such things from happening, Wizards of the Coast has yet again been forced to look on in dismay as the latest set due to be released for Magic: The Gathering prematurely surfaces online.
Taking place in the realm of the same name, Kaldheim is a frozen world populated not just by prehistoric creatures such as mammoths, but a people whose culture and appearance is heavily influenced by Norse mythology. While we’ve yet to catch a glimpse of anything referencing a certain pantheon ruled over by the almighty Odin, Kaldheim is at the very least home to warriors bearing the likeness of Scandinavian Vikings as well as several Planeswalkers, though the latter, given their nature, aren’t natives. Alongside returning fan favorite Kaya, Magic‘s first non-binary world hopper, Niko Aris, is also due to make their debut as a refugee from Theros.
