Here’s Another Trailer for Monarch: Legacy of Monsters
There’s a second season coming up for Monarch: Legacy of Monsters soon. And to advertise such a thing, the TV producers have released another trailer. It shows monsters, actors, stories and the stakes. Seems like something a trailer should and normally do.
I dunno how I feel about this one. I think I liked the first season. I think I also felt that the first season went a little off the rails in places. And I think I felt it successfully landed the ending. I dunno. It doesn’t matter. I’ll watch this show because it’s Godzilla. There’s going to be a big new monster, and Godzilla and Kong will need to team up…so…like all the most recent movies?
I like the idea that this season will be about one really big, really bad monster and that could drive the season. The first season was about a bunch of different monsters as the main characters moved around the world, with no real monster focal point. So this could be a good way to do a second season.
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters season 2 is coming to Apple TV on Feb. 27.
Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 1/31/26
Between my last reviews and this one, we had a snow storm and it sucked and my world is buried in snow these days in the northeast. I can handle the bitter, negative temperatures. It’s having to move all this snow that really stinks. But at least we’ve got enjoyable comics, like a new Iron Man and an absolutely stellar Absolute Wonder Woman.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Batman #16 for an insanely good crossover with Absolute Wonder Woman, though her solo issue gave this a run for its money in terms of quality.
Meanwhile, I binged and enjoyed Wonder Man this past week. Debating whether or not to do a review. I don’t know if I have much to say about the series, other than it’s good and I enjoyed it and everybody should watch. Beyond that, started watching A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and that’s fun. And I’m still taking my time through Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. So I’ve got good stuff going all around.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #16, Absolute Wonder Woman #16, Iron Man #1, Absolute Martian Manhunter #8 and Power Rangers Prime #14.

To perhaps celebrate the entire first season of Wonder Man arriving on Disney+, we also got the first ever trailer for the second season of Daredevil: Born Again. I enjoyed the first season, I enjoyed the Netflix seasons, and I can’t wait for this new season!
Looks good to me. Action, adventure, romance, fun music cues, the return of Jessica Jones; this season will have everything! And this season will be especially good because it’s made by the second creative team. The first season was apparently notoriously bad, and they brought in a second creative team halfway through to try to rebuild what was already filmed and add new material. Now the second season will be made completely by this second creative team. That should be a good sign.
Daredevil: Born Again returns to Disney+ on March 24.
The New Fable Game is Coming to Playstation!
Good news, everybody! There’s going to be a Fable revival video game, based on that classic X-Box series that I really, really enjoyed some 20 years ago. It was a great, quirky RPG, and the sequel was fun too. I never played the threequel. And I knew this revival was coming, I just thought it would be X-Box exclusive…until now! We’ve got a first look trailer, and a reveal that it’s coming to Playstation 5 as well, which I own!
That looks amazing! It looks gorgeous. And I’m so glad to hear about all the quirks and bit of fun in the game. Like how they’ve crafted 1,000 unique NPCs, each of whom will have full day lives. Like how you can buy every building in the game. Like how you can probably romance a wide variety of characters and have kids!
Fable is a wild franchise, and everybody in this video seems keen on reviving all the best parts into a fun new game! I’m fully in. This fall is gonna be insane with games.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 1/24/26
Busy times are taking their toll and I just didn’t make or find enough time to read too many comics this week. But then also, my list of comics is always shrinking. I need to fix that. Anyway, it’s a toss up between Captain America and Wonder Woman this week.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Captain America #6 because it is just a slightly more interesting story launch.
Meanwhile, I finished a new read through of Gotham Central, and it was as great as always. And I’m still working my way through Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora as a game, without seeing that third movie! I gotta work on that too. Beyond that, I’m enjoying Fallout, liked the first episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and am looking forward to Wonder Man on Tuesday.
Comic Reviews: Captain America #6 and Wonder Woman #29.
