  • Finally, I'm just back from the Avengers Campus in Disneyland Paris. It's crammed with live performances in the streets from MCU heroes past and present, along with epic rides like the Spider-Man W.E.B. Adventure, which is a 3D shooter, and the Avengers Assemble: Flight Force, which is a ridiculously fast roller-coaster that features a mission in space alongside Captain Marvel and Iron Man. Check it out here to get a taste of what's there.

As ever, thanks for reading, and for anyone wondering about this week's AKA, it comes from Loki Series 1. It's what the various Kang versions tell themselves before breaking down into all out war. The point is that the Kang we get in Quantumania and Dynasty may well look a bit like He Who Remains from Loki, but he'll be a very different beast. The upcoming films have got a tough act to follow in Thanos and the Infinity Saga, but hopefully it's going to be a fun ride.

Au revoir for now,

Gerard
