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.
Read the rest of this entryCharacters Galore in Spider-Man: Brand New Day Trailer!
The first trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day arrived this morning and it is chockful of characters. Can you spot them all? A lot of them were spoiled due to leaks, but their arrival is still fun. See for yourself!
It’s an OK trailer. It’s a little all over the place. I’ve never personally been a fan of the spider-mutation stuff, but it’s still classic Spider-Man, so there’s no point in fighting it. I love me some Scorpion, so I’m glad he’s here. And the other villains I’ve heard about should be a hoot! Then Punisher! Bruce Banner! The…the Hand?!
I like the grounded nature of the story so far, though it does butt up against the weird choice at the end of the previous movie where Peter Parker uses a magic spell to make everybody forget he exists. Part of me hoped he’d actually move on and make new friends, but perhaps he can try his luck chasing after his old friends. By all means.
Looks good.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day will arrive in theaters on July 31.

I Still Think Darth Maul is Cool
There’s a new Darth Maul cartoon coming out in three weeks — Darth Maul: Shadow Lord. It’s set during the Empire, with Darth Maul fighting back because he’s angry. Maybe he’s a crime lord? I dunno. It’s Darth Maul fighting Stormtroopers to some extent. Long before he shows up in Rebels. Maybe before he shows up in Solo? Who can tell.
I think it looks cool and fun. Am I on the edge of my seat? Nah. That’s just not me anymore for anything (except maybe GTA 6). But I’ll gladly watch a new Darth Maul cartoon. I still think he’s cool. I’m still on board for new Star Wars content. And I’m definitely on board with Darth Maul taking a Jedi sidekick to cut down Stormtroopers and fight the Empire. Could be fun.
Darth Maul: Shadow Lord will have 10 episodes on Disney+, starting on April 6.
