Surprise! ‘The Last of Us’ is Selling Well
Proving once again that folks love themselves some fungal zombies, The Last of Us Remastered trounced the competition in Europe, becoming the #1 selling game on the PlayStation Store chart for the month of July after only a single day of sales. The latest iteration of Naughty Dog’s masterpiece seems to be selling fine here in the States as well, as it claimed the #2 spot.
The game was beaten by the Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition, but that’s not all that surprising seeing as it was discounted to $8.40 for PS Plus members.

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
