Itâs the main event, and the crowd is almost silent in anticipation. At ringside, staff members finish putting together the steel cage, a stage that has only been used once before in Chikaraâs history.

As the 87th Academy Awards draw near, there will be plenty of speculation on which film will win the coveted title of Best Picture.

Narrative-wise, Hawkeye: My Life as a Weapon is a revelation. This book is funny, compelling, and thoroughly engaging.
