It's time for the Comic Talk Headlines with Generally Nerdy!LOTS of new musicNetflix bows out of gaming... kindaElon sued AGAINJoe Rogan to interview Donald TrumpAnd so much more...Plus, don't forget to subscribe for more fresh content. 
Music
New Music/VideoROSÉ & Bruno Mars - APT. https://youtu.be/ekr2nIex040 CATCHY AF!! But that is par for the course with Bruno Mars. Apparently the lyrics (and title) are a play on words for a Korean drinking game. Rose from Blackpink.Cradle of Filth - Malignant Perfection https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiF-PAt6N9U surprisingly restrained for a Cradle song. Trying to rekindle Nymphetamine? Video is VERY fitting for the season.Dead Icarus - 1 Million Days https://youtu.be/EjBGU-hF4js MUCH more Atreyu than anything previously released. This has Curse vibes all over it, even the video.Better Lovers - Love as an Act of Rebellion https://youtu.be/5qCT4puiPJY I almost like these guys as much as Miss Machine era Dillinger… almost. What is with the 4:3 aesthetic these days?Bloodywood - Nu Delhi https://youtu.be/A3C9NwGKgq4?si=k5I2p2CYtUofhYfE A little less on the NU sound. Still well put together, if slightly forgettable.Breaking Benjamin - Awaken https://youtu.be/cHj8PtRdMQk Decent breakdown/solo section, but don’t believe the hype. NOT extra heavy.Loss Becomes - Broken Mirrors Feat Jesse Leach https://youtu.be/_dTIV7xI9jM THIS is how you use a Jesse Leach vocal spot.
Tours/FestivalsJerry Cantrell - Runs from Jan 31 through March 9. Support from Filter.https://jerrycantrell.com/ Claudio Simonetti’s Goblin - Oct 31 through Dec 15. Screening Demons in select cities.https://goblinsimonetti.com/tour-dates 
Reg ‘ol NewsIron Maiden - Paul Di’anno passed at 66. The band’s first vocalist on their debut “Iron Maiden” and “Killers.” His years long battle with Lymphedema seems to have ended.

The heaviest record they have ever done he claims. Seems like another trend hop to me.https://blabbermouth.net/news/jacoby-shaddix-says-it-feels-natural-for-papa-roach-to-lean-into-heavy-sound-on-next-album As I Lay Dying - Bassist and vocalist Ryan Neff has left the band, with a very curt exit statement on his socials. This can’t be an issue with Lambesis’ past, this has to be just Tim being difficult to work with at this point.https://blabbermouth.net/news/bassist-vocalist-ryan-neff-quits-as-i-lay-dying Static-X - Hoping to release the documentary “Evil Disco: The Rise, Fall, and Regeneration of Static-X” in 2025. https://blabbermouth.net/news/static-x-is-hoping-to-release-evil-disco-the-rise-fall-and-regeneration-of-static-x-documentary-in-2025 
SuggestsKorn - Self TitledReleased in ‘94.  From the haunting intro of “Blind” to the twisted, primal aggression in “Clown” and “Daddy,” the album is a sonic trip through the dark corners of the mind. Its themes of isolation, fear, and inner torment align perfectly with the spooky season.

But then he calls the details of how we get to Superman, “not precious.” Then he goes on to talk about how he is changing literally everything about where Superman comes from. In the Absolute universe Kal-el crashes to Earth as something older than a baby. The All-In special scene, Aaron says, isn’t the first time he lands on Earth. But he very specifically DOESN’T say that he will be a baby. “He is absolutely not fully formed as Superman.” This is a new universe, so it isn’t a total affront.November 6th.https://comicbook.com/comics/news/absolute-supermans-jason-aaron-clears-up-all-in-confusion-teases-big-changes-for-the-iconic-character/
