Welcome to Neo-Reality Collective | Pop-Culture News and Reviews Talk, Hosted by Eric Brown! In the Seventieth-Sixth episode, New York Comic-Con happened, and with it, a ton of announcements were made in the world of Pop-Culture! First and foremost, Marvel unveiled their next big thing panel with big event comics and status quo changing storylines such as Marvel's Blood Hunt and FALL OF THE HOUSE OF X/RISE OF THE POWERS OF X that will signal the end of the Krakoan Era of X-Men that started back in 2019 to presumably go back to the mansion and thus ending my tenure reading X-Men Books. Comics in the '90s had a seismic shift when superstar artists left Marvel to form Image Comics. Now, in the 2020s, a new endeavor has begun as DC and Marvel lose prominent writers and artists who collectively come together to create GHOST MACHINE, a creator-owned multi-media company in partnership with Image to launch a multiverse of stories by talent such as Geoff Johns, Gary Frank, Bryan Hitch, Brad Meltzer, and many others. Dragon Ball Daima is the next phase in the Dragon Ball franchise, launching in Fall 2024, that will continue the adventures of Son Goku and Friends as kids! A Redemption of sorts for DBGT? And finally, after a year and a half, Microsoft has completed the Activision-Blizzard acquisition, and Bobby Kotick is set to leave with his golden parachute at the end of the year. Welcome to Xbox, hope you survive the experience. All this and more on Neo-Reality Collective! Brought to you by TheEveryDayFan, check out their links below!

After 22 months, Microsoft has closed its $69.5B acquisition of Activision Blizzard. So what now? Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick reflects on the long road to regulatory approval, and what's next for gaming and for Activision-turned-Microsoft employees. After building Activision into the gaming giant it is today, Kotick considers his own next chapter and his legacy as CEO. And the White House is taking on junk fees.

From the BBC World Service: The United Kingdom is set to clear a fresh Microsoft-Activision deal. In August, the “Call of Duty” maker agreed to sell its streaming rights to Ubisoft Entertainment and the U.K.’s regulator, the Competition and Markets Authority has now said this “substantially addresses previous concerns.” Energy giant Chevron and unions have struck a deal to end strikes at two large liquefied natural gas facilities in Australia. The industrial action had threatened to disrupt exports of LNG. Plus, it was all about interest rates this week: Which central banks would up them or hold them? We look at some of those big decisions.

From the BBC World Service: Microsoft has filed changes to its proposed takeover video game maker, Activision Blizzard, in an attempt to win over the U.K. competition regulator, which previously blocked the $69 billion deal. The BRICS group of developing economies — Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa — are meeting in Johannesburg for their annual summit. Expanding membership and de-dollarization are both high on the agenda. Jakarta is the world’s most polluted city; the air quality is so bad, that from today, thousands of civil servants will work from home for the next two months.
