Avengers: Infinity War ended with Thanos' shocking victory (which wasn't actually all that shocking to anyone who had read Infinity Gauntlet #1 in 1991), after he succeeded in assembling all six Infinity Stones from across the galaxy and using them to snap away half of all life in the universe. He then teleported away to the tranquility of Planet 0259-S, where, the remaining battered Avengers later discovered, he did something perhaps even more shocking: he used the power of the Infinity Stones one more time to destroy them, reducing them to atoms and scattering their energy across the cosmos so that they could never be used to undo his triumph.
The Walt Disney Company has lately made something of an artform out of reimagining its own animated features into (often) billion-dollar live-action films, starting with Alice in Wonderland in 2010 and continuing with Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin, as well as the photorealistic computer animated remake of The Lion King.
OneUnited Bank has drawn criticism for its new debit card design, which has abolitionist Harriet Tubman displaying Black Panther's Wakanda Forever salute.
Critical approval and positive audience reaction, reflected in consistent 80% scores for the latest DC Extended Universe installment Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey, officially known as Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), don't seem to be helping the film's box office numbers, after its $33 million opening weekend landed it in the company of some of the worst financial performers in the history of DC's cinematic endeavors.
In superheroics, taxes are apparently optional, because the only two things that are truly certain are death and rebirth. To that end specifically, X-Men founder Charles Xavier has assembled a team of five mutants, imaginatively christened The Five, to put the resurrectional studies of Moira MacTaggert into action following the establishment of the sovereign island nation of Krakoa. The team of Fabio "Goldballs" Medina, Kevin "Proteus" MacTaggert, Joshua "Elixir" Foley, Eva "Tempus" Bell, and the first new mutant born after M-Day, Hope Summers, have perfected a process by which they were able to reproduce the bodies, powers, minds, and memories of their fallen brethren, thereby taking the insignificance of "comic book death" to an entirely new level.
