Behold Our Upcoming Animations in Gatto and Ray Gunn
This has been a great year for animation. Can it get even better? We’ve got one more big animated movie coming up from Netflix called Ray Gunn from Brad Bird, the genius behind The Incredibles and the Iron Giant.
I think it looks neat! Does it look as neat as can be? I guess we’ll find out. I doubt I’ll go to the theater for this one. Netflix is right there. But Ray Gunn looks fancy and nifty an the retro works. The trailers also look like they’re keeping a lot of good twists and surprises at bay. That should be fun.
Ray Gunn comes to theaters on Dec. 4 and then to Netflix on Dec. 18.
Next year could be good for animation as well. We’ve got our first full trailer for Gatto, the next Pixar movie. Which reminds me, I haven’t watched Toy Story 5 yet…
I think this looks great! The animation is sharp and colorful, leaning more into the new Dreamworks and Sony styles instead of typically Disney. And the cat humor is great. Who doesn’t love cat humor? It’s the overall best part of the internet.
Gatto comes to theaters on March 5.

Magneto Meets Red Skull, an Animation
Every once and a while, I randomly stumble upon something fun that somebody has created on the internet. This time, Blunt Brothers Productions has done up a little animation about Magneto meeting Red Skull during a super villain team up. It’s a hoot!
Obviously, the two characters have met several times in the comics, and every time, Magneto gets pissed and does something really bad to the damn Nazi. It’s great! And this animated bit captures all of that nicely. Good way to start this Tuesday.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 11/7/26
So this week sort of got away from me and I didn’t review as many comics as I had planned. I read a couple, but some of the ones I was thinking of reviewing were just so…I dunno…sorta bland that I decided not to even bother. Sometimes I just don’t have anything to say about a comic that is just minding its own business, doing its job. But I do have a lot to say about Avengers #1!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Superman #25 for a very character-focused milestone issue that sets the stage for some big adventure to come.
Meanwhile, I went and saw Godzilla Minus Zero the other night and…it’s good. It’s not as good as Godzilla Minus One, but it was still a fun watch in the theater. I guess I was hoping for more. Ah well. I’m also watching Furious on Hulu, which is also good, but not what I was expecting. And I’m reading Extremity by Daniel Warren Johnson, which is great so far. Also, I almost had a work thing interrupt my upcoming GTA6 vacation, but that won’t be happening now and vacation is back on!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Superman #25, Avengers #1 and Iron Man #11.

It’s possible to still find random, awesome things on the internet. It’s not just a cesspool of horror and AI and other nonsense. Sometimes, some crazy people like this DeDeDuck dude create a parody of South Park as Dragonball Z and it’s amazing.
This is good times. This gives me life and hope and joy. And I hope it does the same for you. There can still be creativity in this world. Good times.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/31/26
Happy Halloween! This is my favorite holiday of the year because I love the pageantry and silliness of it all. Unfortunately, I don’t have any kids of my own and never get any trick-or-treaters, so I don’t usually get to even indulge. Oh well. At least candy will be half off at the store tomorrow. And at least we’ve got some great comics to read, like Absolute Batman and my return to Void Rivals!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Wonder Woman #25 because it’s just a more engaging milestone issue than Absolute Batman #25. I’m not afraid to say it.
Meanwhile, I watched President Curtis this week, the Rick & Morty spin-off, and it was a hoot! Great cast, great premise and sharply written, with the exact sort of dry humor and dialogue I enjoy. I also flew through the new season of Slow Horses. Love that show. And I loved Wildwood last week! Great film! I’m really having a blast with stuff to watch these days.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #25, Absolute Wonder Woman #25, Daredevil #8, Amazing Spider-Man #1002, Superman #43 and Void Rivals #35.
