Anybody remembered Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy the video game? In case if you didn’t know, Square Enix and Eido Montreal made this Marvel game be part of the Switch library, but as a cloud version. Meaning, you need online to play this game in single player mode. I recently found out today that the Switch version of the game got delisted in the Nintendo eShop. The game got delisted on February 27th. The game is expected to come back to the market possibly on April 1st of this year. As long as you bought the game when it was available, you can still archive it and download it on your Switch.

*Similar to my spoiler-free review, this review will cover episodes 1-13. However, this review will be focusing on the English dub. This review will have spoilers and if you want to read this review without spoilers, read my spoiler-free post. Since I reviewed this anime already, I won’t stall the introduction, but rather go depth in the anime’s main story.

[Manga news] DC manga joins DC digital comic subscription
If Marvel can give us Deadpool Samurai, DC comics can do the same with Superman, Batman and the Joker. It’s been reported that three Japanese DC manga will be coming to English release on the DC Universe Infinite platform. Much like Marvel’s comic subscription, Marvel Unlimited, DC Universe Infinite allows users to pay a subscription to read digital comics from DC and Vertigo. Here is the three DC manga that will be localized for English readers:
- Joker: One Operation Joker
- Batman: Justice Buster
- Superman vs. Meshi
These three new manga will be available first on digital via subscription. The print version of the manga will be released later this year in 2023.
Joker: One Operation Joker
Joker: One Operation Joker is the Joker like you’ve never seen him before…as a single father?!
After a fateful encounter with Batman that results in the Dark Knight de-aging to a baby, Joker takes it upon himself to raise the child into the crusader of justice! But does the Clown Prince of Crime really understand what it means to be Batman—or, more importantly, what it means to raise a baby all by yourself? Joker: One Operation Joker is written by Satoshi Miyagawa (Uchuu Senkan Tiramisu) with art by Keisuke Gotou.
Batman: Justice Buster
In Batman: Justice Buster, Gotham City has been under the protection of Batman for only a short amount of time, but since the vigilante’s appearance, crime has changed. It’s gotten more bold, more destructive.
As Batman tries to rise to meet these new threats, he develops a computer system, ROBIN, to help him analyze and subdue the rising criminal tide and hopefully one day put an end to crime in Gotham.
Batman: Justice Buster is written and illustrated by Eiichi Shimizu and Tomohiro Shimoguchi (Ultraman).
Superman vs. Mesh
It’s hungry work being Superman! That’s why every day for lunch in Superman vs. Meshi, Superman makes a quick stop over in Japan to try a new chain restaurant. Whether it’s a hearty bowl of curry or conveyor-belt sushi, the Man of Steel loves to indulge in the delectable delicacies the country has to offer. He’ll even share a meal with the other members of the Justice League from time to time in the hopes of showing them an incredible culinary experience.
Superman vs. Meshi is written by Satoshi Miyagawa with art by Kai Kitago.

TGIF!
Thank God it’s Friday! Welcome back everyone for another episode of Friday Funny. We have another Friday episode and today is the last Friday of February. This month has been busy.

Enjoy Winter while it lasts because March will be the transitioning month where winter goes back to sleep and spring will take over. Goodbye snow and rain, hello sunshine and allergy season. I am ready for March, because on March 1, we have the return of The Mandalorian. Season 3 will bring back Mando (Din Djarin) and Grogu once again as these two will take part an epic adventure at Mandalore. Mando plans to atone for his actions, but it won’t be easy especially since he has to protect Grogu and he is the owner of the Darksaber. Are you ready for some Star Wars action for March?
