Bruno Sammartino - one of the all-time greats in the storied history of professional wrestling - and, sadly, one of many crushing losses we fans and the wrestling industry suffered in 2018...
Before his untimely passing, Bruno approached Squared Circle Comics about preserving his legacy in comic book form and completed interviews with writer and wrestling historian, John Crowther (Rochelle from Antarctic Press; Nikolai, The Genius Lanny Poffo, The Killer Bees, & Bobby Fulton & The Fantastics from Squared Circle) . From those in-depth discussions with the man himself, John crafted scripts for the comics.
Now, illustrated by Marvel & DC Comics veteran Rich Perotta (Deadpool, The Ray), Bruno Sammartino is the authorized comic biography of perhaps the most renowned professional wrestler in the history of the industry. Holder of the WWWF Heavyweight Title for unparalleled runs from 1963-1971 and from 1973-1976, Bruno was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2013 and claims a string of simply amazing sell-outs of the famous Madison Square Garden in New York City in the 1970's.
This comic series tells all those stories, but many more, including his family's plight in, and escape from, fascist Italy during the second World War and the barriers Bruno faced upon arriving to the United States and the ways he used body-building, weight-lifting, and wrestling to overcome them! Oh, yes, and there was that time he wrestled an orangutan...
Our 20-page comic, Bruno Sammartino 1, is available right now on Kickstarter, and it is the first of five issues in standard comic format (6.625" x 10.25"). This Kickstarter campaign allows you to reserve just the first issue (already completed) or subscribe to the full series, either digitally or in print (Kickstarter-Exclusive or Standard cover options)!
was an extremely fun game. So much so, that it lasted 10 years in both competitive circuits and in the hearts of fans, seeing a re-release for current home consoles and bay prices of $120 at times for an original copy. It would have been pretty easy for Capcom to rest on their laurels once things cleared for them to do a third game and basically pump out something virtually the same with a couple new characters and new moves.
Lucky for fans of Marvel Comics, Capcom characters, and fighting games, they decided to do just the opposite. Character models are brand new, comic writer Frank Tieri lends an authenticity to the words coming out of the mouths of these famous friends of ours, and really, the game is completely different aside from having characters from Marvel and Capcom in a brawl. They could've done more of the same, and instead perfected the formula.
The character selection in Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is less sprawling than the second installment, but has one important distinction. character is truly unique, and each of them have uniquely fun play styles. The sheer breadth of character types and franchises represented is astounding. Characters that some internet commenters scoffed at like Super Skrull and X-23 have turned out to be not just fun to play with, but nearly infinitely visually exciting. Characters you expect to be awesome like Dante or Deadpool don't disappoint, and characters you think were maybe just thrown in like Hsien-Ko or MODOK turn out to be full of depth. Even old standbys like Ryu and Spider-Man have been retooled to offer new gameplay in addition to their much-upgraded looks. The individual characters are where the writing by Tieri soars, as well. The trash talking he described to us is sometimes silly, sometimes vicious, and sometimes downright hilarious. Deadpool and Morrigan particularly standout in this arena- they're just plain fun to listen to. The individual battles end with a comic book panel and one-liner, and full arcade completion shows still shots with narrative tuned clearly to each individual, often continuing to accent the 'crossover' appeal.
Gameplay itself has been simplified while adding depth, something we noted the very first time we played. This is a game anyone can jump into, pull off a couple cool looking special moves with relative ease, and have a great time with the game. With huge variations in difficulty from very easy to very hard, any gamer can find the right level of challenge and fun. Experienced fighters will find a challenge from the start, with more super moves and combos than ever before. The now-signature Capcom tiered super move bar provides for increasingly flashy performances, and there's nothing more satisfying than pulling off a massive three person super attack.
Of course, with games of this kind, you want to have fun playing against your friends. With Simple mode to let newbies survive tougher foes, the accessibility of single player carries over to multiplayer nicely. Even when you're losing, if your opponent pulls off a cool move or a big combo, you will still be oo-ing, ah-ing, and laughing your way through to your loss. Plus, you'll still want to just choose some new characters and jump in.
The other thing to note is how cool the Special Edition is. If your store has it on the shelf, it's worth the buy. With a prequel comic that also includes an artbook and a gorgeous tin box, big fans will want the extras.
More distinct characters, incredible visuals and sound, easy enough gameplay that still has impressive depth, dialogue that makes you feel like you're controlling these Marvel and Capcom stories, all capped off by a huge battle with Galactus to save the worlds. Marvel Vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds has it all, and is an absolute must-have for fans of Marvel Comics, Capcom Games, Fighting Games, or any combination of the three.
Cyril Ramaphosa,�South African President, on Wednesday said the South African government was not in support of xenophobic attacks on Nigerians and other countries. Ramaphosa said this while speaking at the 2018 Annual Meeting of the Afreximbank in Abuja. He said one of the major reasons he chose to visit Nigeria first upon his assumption of office was to improve relations between both countries. Xenophobia is the dislike or prejudice against people of other countries. There have been several of such attacks on non South Africans, including Nigerians, and their businesses in the last couple of years. According to Ramaphosa, South Africans have been exposed to unsafe environment, criminality and a number of other challenges. �And we have also had a huge problem of unemployment and people tended to react in a way where they want to safeguard their own interest and expressed their fears and concerns through xenophobic action on other people. �Our government has been very clear and strong on this, we will not support anyone who seeks to attack anybody on the basis of their race, their origin or the way they look and we are very clear on that. �In terms of safety and security, security institutions are now taking serious actions against people who result in criminalities. �They are making good strides, they are catching the criminals and we trying to turn South Africa into a safe environment,�� the president said. He pledged South Africa�s commitment to support Nigeria in its developmental pursuit. He said: �Nigeria supported us in our days of struggle and we are ready and willing to also support Nigeria as you continue to develop your own country. �The two countries are joined whether we like it or not and we better make use of this opportunity that we have to improve the relations between us.� On the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCTA), Ramaphosa said the South African government was looking forward to the agreement as it had great benefits for the country. He said the free trade agreement would enhance the growth of economies of a number of countries especially those in conflict. He said: �Part of this free trade agreement will not only resolve the movement of goods but also the movement of people, as goods can move on their own; and soon we will have our own African DHL.�

Grownups - a lifestyle website for Kiwis over 50 is running a poll on how many over 50s will be spending Christmas alone.
A good place to start is to think hard about the elderly you know. If someone was recently widowed, or doesn’t have any children, then they are more likely to be alone. If you know the little old lady next door has family overseas then it’s worth asking her if she has plans. These people will not put themselves out there as they are most likely embarrassed about being alone.
-Inviting them for Christmas lunch could be hard for shy oldies, instead invite them for a short period. If you keep it short it’s less daunting for them and for you.
