Marvel Comics: Allied Victory, Part 2: Characters and Wrapup
The end of the war meant changes were in store for our heroes: some were dropped, some changed circumstances.
Link’s Awakening: The Dreaming Island
Link’s Awakening: Catfish’s Maw
Star Wars: The Old Republic: Onslaught
By time Onslaught came out, I hadn’t played in a year since an abortive start at Jedi Under Siege, and hadn’t regularly played since around the time the Chiss flashpoint came out. But then the world went crazy a few months later and – well, I didn’t actually have more time to play, but a lot of people did so it was fun to finally jump back in.
Link’s Awakening: Angler’s Tunnel
Marvel Comics: Allied Victory (1944-1945), Part 1: Overview
There were no new characters introduced in 1944-1945, but the titles kept appearing.
Link’s Awakening: Key Cavern
Link’s Awakening: Seashell Mansion
Marvel on Film: Other Pre-MCU Films

I remember hearing the casting news for the famously never-released Fantastic Four when I was reading comics; the fact that I’d never heard of any of them meant nothing to me because I wasn’t into TV or movies at the time. Finally, in 1998, Blade became Marvel’s first successful film, and with X-Men and Spider-Man following, the Marvel Age of film had finally arrived.
