6 Characters I’m Waiting For in Marvel Snap
Anybody else become really addicted to Marvel Snap? I’m not one for superhero-based mobile games, because they’re usually some weird Bejeweled rip-off or something. And Marvel has a dozen or so of these games, with promise tons of unlockables and characters and blah blah blah. No thank you! But for reasons I’ve long since forgotten, I totally got into Marvel Snap and have been playing pretty much nonstop for months now. It’s a good use of my time.
Marvel Snap is a lot like those old Marvel trading cards I used to obsess over when I was a kid. I had a ton of those things! Marvel Snap is all about collecting cards of various comic book characters and then using them in battle. It’s fun, it’s quick, and there are a metric ton of comic characters to play around with. It’s not movie-based, like a lot of games are. So that’s a hoot! But as with those cards in the early 1990s, I want to see my favorites in the game. There are a whole bunch of characters who don’t have cards yet, and that’s why I’ve put this list together.
Join me after the jump for six Marvel characters I want to see as Marvel Snap cards sooner rather than later.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas is a perennial favorite for the holidays, and it’s obviously ripe for parody. Which brings me to this lovely skit by Wizards with Guns, which reimagined the classic song with the help of Joel Haver and Trent Lenkarski. I’ve been really into Haver’s work over the past few months, and he’s great in this — as is the whole rude sketch.
Yeah, language and crudeness abound in this sketch, so consider yourself warned.
I may have to spend the new year getting into Wizards with Guns. Because this is some funny writing.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 12/31/22
Happy New Year, everyone! It’s the last day of 2022 and I’m sure we’re all ready to bid this year farewell and start anew with plans, hopes, dreams and more. And to finish off this year, I’ve got a whole pile of comic reviews, from the end of several comics, like Thunderbolts, to the start of something new with Action Comics!
In fact, Comic Book of the Week goes to Action Comics #1050 because it succeeds in being a nice, new start to a new Superman era. Once again, I will find myself attempting to get into an era of Superman.
Meanwhile, my Christmas gift to myself this year is a Playstation 5, so that’s pretty exciting. It was supposed to arrive today, so if you’re reading this review column the day it was posted, know that I’ll be gradually hitting refresh on the tracking page all day long until it shows up and I rush down and snatch it up! Wish me luck! I’ve got a good year of gaming ahead of me.
Comic Reviews: Action Comics #1050, She-Hulk #9, Strange Academy: Finals #3, Thunderbolts #5, and X-Terminators #4.
Read the rest of this entryKnock at the Cabin Looks Spooky and Cool
The next M. Night Shyamalan movie is Knock at the Cabin, a spooky film where a bunch of seemingly crazy people threaten a family in order to save the world. I know Shyamalan movies aren’t so much hype anymore. But Knock at the Cabin could be darn good. This trailer looks great, at least.
The first trailer was good, but I really enjoyed how this trailer fleshed the story out more. I might actually end up going to see this one in theaters. We shall see.
Knock at the Cabin comes out on Feb. 3.

OnlyLeigh is Alive!
OnlyLeigh is a web cartoonist I really like, but she’s been pretty silent on the creative front for a couple of years now. I get it. Life happens. Well she just came out with a new cartoon and you best believe I’m gonna share it with all you fine folks.
There is much I don’t know about the creative world. I’m a writer, and we’ve had word processing software for a millennia now. So I don’t understand art. Thankfully, we’ve got tutorials like this one to help us all creative better cartoons! Welcome back, OnlyLeigh. Here’s hoping for more cartoons ahead!
