The classic 1981 Donkey Kong arcade cabinet is reportedly getting a Lego treatment, set to release in August for $200. This 1,367-piece set features a movable joystick, functional buttons, and a plastic brick screen recreating iconic game elements. Though more showpiece than fully playable, it's a nostalgic addition to Lego's retro gaming collection, albeit smaller and less interactive than its Pac-Man counterpart.
X-Men: Elsewhen, a personal project from legendary creator John Byrne, reimagines the X-Men comics as if Byrne had continued his work post-1981. This series of graphic novels, now officially partnered with Marvel and Abrams ComicArts, offers a unique glimpse into an alternate X-Men universe. With Vol. 1 available, fans can experience Byrne's fresh, yet nostalgically rooted, take on beloved characters.
