Marvel Rivals exists at the exact cross-section of my interests. All it’s missing is a tie-in trading card game and a partnership with Popeye’s Chicken, and Marvel Rivals would check every single box on my list. I practically learned to read from stacks of old Marvel comic books, and I credit my obsession with Overwatch for being the reason I work in games media today. Getting to play the marriage of those two things is a dream come true – or at least it was, for the first dozen hours....
