In the previous three issues, Deadpoolmanaged to thin the hero ranks of the Marvel universe by killing off the Fantastic Four, the Avengers, and then the X-Men.

Early this morning, on the eve of PAX, and across the ocean, Metal Gear Solid was holding a celebration for it’s 25th year of existence. What better way to celebrate than make all your fans even happier by announcing a crap load of upcoming projects. The largest and greatest of these being Kojima’s announcement, not of Metal Gear Solid 5, but of Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes. An ambitious open world where Big Boss supposedly can call in vehicles and helicopters for transport, be captured, and even escape said prison. Goers of the  event got to see a demo of the game, taking place at night, in the rain with Big Boss sporting the infamous stealth camo.
