This was a massive draw for Image Comics, which soon saw the likes of famous talent like Robert Kirkman and Brian K. Vaughan come to contribute. With the creative freedom granted at Image, comic writers and illustrators were able to work on whatever they were passionate about, which soon led to multiple best-selling comic runs containing a host of complex and relatable characters. A few of these would make for great video game experiences....

In today’s NBA, a starting frontcourt of two bruising bigs isn’t exactly the norm, which makes the pairing of Valanciunas and Williamson slightly difficult to envision ahead of time. As both players operate largely in the paint, how will they coexist in the era of pace and space? Look no further than Valanciunas’ performance with the Lithuanian national team at EuroBasket 2022 for some semblance of an idea, as he shares the floor with two-time All-Star Domantas Sabonis....

The Splinter Cell franchise has remained dormant for quite some time now, with the last entry in the form of Splinter Cell: Blacklist in 2011. With the recently announced Star Wars open-world game, Ubisoft seems more focused than ever to keep making its games open world. In the same spirit, it’d be particularly interesting to imagine the Splinter Cell games set in an open-world backdrop regardless of whether it happens or not....

Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough, the nonpartisan interpreter of Senate rules, declined to allow Democrats a chance to unilaterally enact legislation that would provide a pathway to permanent residence and potentially citizenship for millions of immigrants. As Republicans cheered the ruling, House progressive called on Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Biden to overrule the parliamentarian’s decision. Representative Ayanna Pressley of Masschuettes tweeted, “It’s time to stop honoring archaic procedures and honor the promises we made to immigrant families....

The first thing players will need to do is unlock the Minsky 17A tape. Immortality players are somewhat left at the mercy of the algorithm, but what they’ll want to do is match-cut main character Marissa Marcel or Carl Goodman, her co-star in Minsky. It’s also helpful to click on guns. In any case, once players find Minsky 17A, they will want to watch it to its completion. Doing so will unlock the achievement What Happened to Carl Goodman, but this tape is also how players get the achievement for What Happened to Amy Archer....

Ubisoft notoriously has trouble when debuting new franchises. The first Assassin’s Creed set the stage for the vastly improved AC2, many of the complaints surrounding Watch Dogs were addressed in its sequel, and so on. It’s reasonable that fans might be a bit apprehensive about Immortals given that it’s a first try, but we walked away from our nearly 3-hour demo excited to see more.

What Does It Mean to Be Immunocompromised? The immune system is how the body fights off diseases and protects itself against new infections. Therefore, someone who is immunocompromised will usually get sick more often, stay sick longer, and be more vulnerable to different types of infections.

Tonight, though, he had to put that in the back of his mind. In the main event, he would team with the X-Division Champion to take on two longtime enemies of oVe. It would be the Draw and the Golden Draw against the Undeniable Tessa Blanchard and the Hardcore Icon Tommy Dreamer in a Street Fight.

McCarthy made the remarks in an open letter addressed to his Republican House colleagues, which he shared on Twitter Wednesday night, saying that “Democrats appear to be suffering from selective hearing” by recently embracing Trump’s call for stimulus relief checks to be increased from $600 to $2,000. McCarthy insisted the Pelosi and others agree to Trump’s demand to “reexamine tax dollars wasted overseas” before vowing to alter foreign aid provisions included in the large spending bill....

Financially beleaguered public schools across the country have cut gifted programs in recent years, figuring that bright kids will do fine in a regular classroom. But they don’t. A recent Department of Education study found that smart kids desperately need work geared to their abilities....

Remke sees the consequences of unfulfilled dreams every day at the 4th Gesamtschule Hellersdorf, where she teaches English and Russian (although there’s less interest in Russian these days). At first glance, the modern, well-maintained building in the far reaches of what used to be East Berlin looks like a typical American high school, with posters of stars like Michael Jackson and Madonna on the walls. There are 530 students, ages 12 to 17....

Given the tech giant’s “size and scope,” Rubio and Brown write that the company should receive “particular scrutiny by federal regulators” as it faces a number of “widespread and credible” allegations of labor and employment law violations. In their letter, the two senators draw on reports that the company has subjected employees to “grueling hours” and exhibited a “general lack of responsiveness” to the concerns voiced by employees over the company’s “highly automated management practices....

Little called her ban “irresponsible” and a “self-serving political stunt” liking her actions to a tyrannical abuse of power. Little issued a repeal on the day-old mask-mandate ban on Friday.

For more reporting from the Associated Press, see below. McGeachin last week announced her run for governor, challenging the first-term incumbent Little....

Vito Barbieri, who represents Dalton Gardens in Kootenai County, Idaho, picked up the topic of abortion at a local event on Saturday. Responding to an audience question, he called for greater unity in the anti-abortion movement and complained of judicial authority, which he accused of “marginalizing” the state legislature. “I don’t know why, to quote someone down there, I don’t know why Planned Parenthood hasn’t been nuked off State Street,” he told audiences gathered at Kootenai County Legislative Town Hall on February 22....
