New Trailers for Supergirl and Masters of the Universe Sure Are Neat!
Sorry I haven’t posted more over the past few days, and missed this weekend’s comic book reviews. Not only am I having a busy week at work, but I also came down with a cold on top of that. So man…just haven’t been in a posting mood. I think the cold dulled my sense of artistic appreciation. I went and saw Project: Hail Mary while sick, and…eh. It was fine.
Anyway, yesterday we got two big trailers for a couple big movies this summer.
First up is Supergirl, which a fuller trailer that looks pretty cool.
I am fully on board with this movie. I loved Superman last summer, and I love what they’re doing with Supergirl. I also very much love the comic this movie is based on, Woman of Tomorrow. Honestly, watching that trailer, I’m a little worried that I’m going to be too much of a stickler for the comic. I hope that’s not the case and I can just sit back and enjoy this Supergirl movie, which should be a hoot.
Supergirl comes to theaters on June 26.
We’ve also got a new Masters of the Universe Trailer.
I think it looks great! I devoured all those toy commercial cartoons in the 1980s, as a wee lad. Ninja Turtles was top of the heap for me, but I definitely watched He-Man and had a few of the toys. And I very much like that this movie looks like a big toy commercial. Bright, colorful, full of action and characters; it’s not shying away from the lore. I’m not a stickler for He-Man lore, but I think this should be a really fun way to approach this film. Embrace the camp.
Masters of the Universe comes to theaters on June 5! So it’s gonna be a fun June.

Put Forgotten Island On Your Radar
I’ll admit, when I first saw the thumbnail for this Forgotten Island trailer, I thought it looked rather low budget, and the title doesn’t do it any favors. But trust me and watch this trailer. Forgotten Island is from the people behind Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, and the trailer looks to be more of the same quality.
That was pretty darn cool! I like the characters. I love the animation! The story seems quite excellent. The visuals are resplendent. This could hopefully be a nice sleeper hit! Dreamworks isn’t washed up!
Forgotten Island comes to theaters on Sept. 25.

They Are Definitely Making a Harry Potter TV Show
We knew it was coming. There was no stopping it. There’s money to be made! Just not by me. That new Harry Potter TV show on HBO has a trailer.
I think they could have made a better trailer. Like…we all know Harry Potter. We all know the big scenes and the movies and the characters and stuff. Would it have been weird to make a trailer that just sort of…recreates those famous scenes, but with the new actors? This trailer seems like a real trailer, as if teasing a brand new project…but then also not…it’s weird. Or maybe my cold is just fogging my brain just enough that I’m not getting it.
It all looks fine to me. I’ll probably watch. I like Nick Frost. I hope the kids involved are OK. J.K. Rowling sucks.
The Harry Potter TV show — full title being Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, because of course — will arrive around Christmas.

Museum of the Uncanny: The Lost Archives are Open!
My favorite people are making more comics! As readers of this blog are aware, I’m a wannabe, amateur comic book maker. And a few months ago, one of my short stories was featured in the Museum of the Uncanny anthology by Very Big Comics. This is my comic-making collective of friends and people and it’s been a blast.
Well they’re back with the sequel: The Lost Archives, featuring even more short comic stories.
I’m not in this one, but I fully support Very Big Comics and everything they do. We’ll be working together to produce some more of my own work in the very near future. So I am spreading the good word to get more people to check out the new volume!
Give it a click, check out some of the short stories on display and consider backing the Kickstarter. The more comics in the world the better, I always say.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 3/21/26
Well well well, what have we here? Another batch of comics to review and another bunch of random people from the internet to read them? How delightful. Especially when we’ve got stuff like Wonder Woman and X-Men!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Batwoman #1 for a solid start to a new era at DC Comics. I’m looking forward to a lot of these creator-driven comics.
Meanwhile, not much going on in my life. I’m taking a break from video games for a while, though I’m keeping my eye on Crimson Desert. I just watched and enjoyed the second season of Ted and I’m gonna go see Project: Hail Mary at the movie theater this weekend. So I’ve got that going for me, which is nice.
Comic Reviews: Batwoman #1, Wonder Woman #31, X-Men #27, Captain America #8 and Cyclops #2.
