This Westworld Trailer Has An Awesome Song In It!
Westworld season 3 comes out on March 15, so we’re only a few weeks away! It’s a fun show. I enjoy it. But more so than the actual show, I really like this instrumental cover of “Sweet Child O’Mine” they added to this trailer.
That song is banging! I’ve watched the official music video as well, but it’s not as good. It’s really just the perfect combination of trailer and song.
The show’s song master, Ramin Djawadi made the cover of the Guns N’Roses classic and I’d say he earned his paycheck that day!
Let’s hope the new season is even half as exciting as that song/trailer combo.

6 Thoughts on the First Season of Harley Quinn
Good golly, Miss Molly! The Harley Quinn cartoon show was an absolute delight! I had high hopes for the series after seeing the first few trailers. Then the show captured me from the very first scene of the very first episode! A sharp, visceral cartoon that wasn’t afraid to be vicious, while also telling a very good, character-focused story.
TV Rating: 10/10 – Fantastic!
The Harley Quinn cartoon ran for 13 episodes on the DC Universe streaming service, with the final episode airing this past Friday. The next season is right around the corner in April, and I am thrilled! Harley Quinn is a hard R-rated show that doesn’t skimp on the violence and language, while making sure to use all of that to be funny and smart. It’s a triumph of well-written humor, voice acting, storytelling and more! Not every episode was a masterpiece, and there were some poor choices here and there, but overall, this first season was phenomenal television!
Join me after the jump for my thoughts and full review on the first season of Harley Quinn! Expect FULL SPOILERS for the season!
Star Wars is Doing a New Thing Called The High Republic
Now that the Skywalker Saga is over, Star Wars is apparently going to really take off! They’ve just announced something called The High Republic, which is going to be a new publishing surge set a thousand or so years before the regular Star Wars stuff.
Personally, I’ve never cared much for the Old Republic era. It’s just not for me. I know there are lightsabers and whatnot, but that isn’t enough! Granted, I stopped reading Star Wars novels a bunch of years ago, so maybe The High Republic isn’t for me anyway.
But hey, perhaps it’s for you, and therefore I’m glad to let you know!

The Razor Crest LEGO Set is Coming!
A couple months ago, I made a particularly pointed demand of both Star Wars and LEGO: I wanted a Razor Crest set! The Mandalorian was a great TV show, and I wanted a LEGO set of its signature spaceship. That wasn’t too much to ask.
And I was right! LEGO showed off the official set during Toy Fair this past weekend!
I’ve been saving my Christmas bonus for this
Unfortunately, it won’t be available until Sept. 1. That’s pretty close to my birthday, but also a long time to wait.
You can pre-order the set here, and get a closer look at the details.
It looks pretty cool. Something about it feels kind of off…like it’s not a perfect recreation…but maybe that’s because it’s simply all silver and gray. The mini-figs look great, especially the Baby Yoda we all knew was coming. And it looks like they’re re-using the Mando figure from the AT-ST, with his brown armor instead of the gleaming, silver Beskar armor. Oh well. At least we’re getting the ship!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 2/22/20
Welcome to my random page of comic book reviews! I do this every weekend, because I love comics and I love stories. This week I look into new issues of Batman, Marauders, New Mutants and more!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Wonder Twins #12, the wrap-up to my favorite comic series of the past year! This was such a wonderful series, and Mark Russell and Stephen Byrne stick the landing with class and heart.
Superman already knows!
Meanwhile, I checked out the first issue of the new Wolverine series but have decided not to do a review. It’s a triple-sized beast of a comic and it’s fine, but my review would mostly be summed up as, “Yeah, these are some fine Wolverine stories.” Nothing really blew the lid off the place in Wolverine #1, unless you count this possible reveal of a new Multiple Man costume! I feel like this should be bigger news across the comic book media landscape.
Comic Reviews: Batman #89, Legion of Super-Heroes #4, Marauders #8, New Mutants #7, Runaways #30 and Wonder Twins #12.
