Last week the existence of the PlayStation 5 exclusive Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales was revealed to the public during Sony’s PlayStation 5 event, however many questions still lingered about the scale of the game.

Announced today, DC Comics is set to put off a 24 hour digital event on Saturday August 22nd, dubbed “DC FanDome,” that among other things will finally show off new titles from WB Games (should they still be an entity at that time).

Over the past two and half weeks or so, I’ve been posting a story a day from a series of short anecdotes I crafted last fall. For those who have been keeping up with my posts, I wish to say thank you and I hope you enjoyed my indulgent trip down memory lane. In case…
