It’s Star Wars: Zero Company Day! Among Other Major Things
Today should be a pretty fun day! After work, I’m going to go see Coyote vs. Acme in the theaters. That should be a hoot. And today/tonight, we’ll get our first major look at Grand Theft Auto 6! I don’t have an Netflix subscription, so I won’t be able to watch the show when it drops at 3 p.m. today — I’d be at work anyway. But I’ll be tuned it when it goes up on YouTube at 9 p.m.
In the meantime, today is also the release Star Wars: Zero Company, the new tactics-based Star Wars game. That should be fun too!
I love me some X-Com 2, so I can’t wait to play Zero Company. Everybody looks cool. It’s getting great reviews. I’ve got a 3-day weekend coming up. Things are lining up nicely for me. Here’s hoping for the best!

A New Episode of Deep Space Discounts to Start Your Week!
This is gonna be a good week! My Monday is going to start off pretty crummy with a dumb work thing I’d rather avoid, but there’s no avoiding it, so I’ll get through it. What I’m really waiting for is Thursday. I’ve got a great work thing in the morning, and then Star Wars: Zero Company comes out, and then we’ll get the Netflix first look at Grand Theft Auto 6! And then I’ve got a three-day weekend coming up! I’m riding pretty high for Thursday.
But it’s still only Monday morning, so I’m posting the newest episode of Deep Space Discounts by DeepBlueInk.
Another banger of an episode! I like where this is going and had a very good time with this one. So keep’em coming, DeepBlueInk! Make your show! Live your dreams! And let’s survive another week!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/22/26
This was one of those weird weeks where all the comics I read were a bunch of enjoyable, entertaining reads, but then none of them really stood out as particularly interesting or worth writing about. But I did it anyway! For comics like Absolute Green Arrow and Daredevil, even! But if my reviews seem a bit drab, that’s why.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Avengers: Armageddon #3 for a solid, energetic twist at the end.
Meanwhile, I’m just killing time until I pick up Star Wars: Zero Company next week. That should be fun! I’m keeping an eye on all these Grand Theft Auto VI leaks but don’t really care about them. I looooved the first episode of Lanterns, and the only thing I don’t like is that I don’t have the entire season available to binge watch right away! Gonna have to be patient on that one. Next weekend is also Coyote vs. Acme, so that’s good too!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Green Arrow #4, Avengers: Armageddon #3, Daredevil #5 and Uncanny X-Men #34.

A new trailer for the stop-motion animated film Wildwood arrived on this internet this week and it’s even bigger and bolder than the previous trailers! I legit got a little choked up watching this movie trailer!
Oh man, this is intense. This is good. This is gonna be a masterpiece. Will it succeed at the box office? Laika movies apparently never do that great. But c’mon, world. Give us this one. Let this be successful. Let this be something great and awesome and beautiful, that we can all enjoy. I’m gonna splurge for the fancy cinema at the theater in the next town over for this one.
Wildwood comes to theaters on Oct. 23.

6 Thoughts on the Second Season of X-Men ’97
The second season of X-Men ’97 was not the masterpiece of the first season, probably for a lot of reasons. Original showrunner Beau DeMayo was let go for very good reasons, and this season is apparently a mish mash of his original ideas and the new showrunner making some changes. The mish mash nature shows. But just because season two is not as good as season one doesn’t mean I didn’t have a very good time enjoying my X-Men cartoon!
TV Show Rating: 8/10 – Very Good
X-Men ’97 has already been confirmed for a third and, I think, fourth season. There’s going to be a lot of this show. And I can’t wait to watch more! Nine episodes in a single season is just not enough. I want more X-Men adventures. I want more character-focused episodes. I want more cameos out the wazoo! I want more alternate takes on the opening theme song! That was a real hoot! We’re several years away from getting new X-Men movies in the MCU, so I’ll gladly take the X-Men ’97 world any day of the week.
Join me after the jump for my full thoughts and review. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the first and second seasons of X-Men ’97. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below!
