Kamala Khan is Definitely Going to Star in the Avengers Video Game
We guessed this when the first trailers came out, but the upcoming Avengers video game is going to star Kamala Khan! That’s great! Though this first footage of her gameplay still makes me think this game is going to be totally on rails.
The cut scene animations, story and character acting all seem great, though. As excited as I am for a good Avengers game, especially one starring Ms. Marvel, I’m probably going to wait for the reviews on this one. This game could have all the polish in the world, but still be boring if you’re just doing what the game tells you to do at all times.
We’ll see. The Avengers game comes out on May 15.

She-Ra is Coming Back Already!
The fourth season of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power will arrive on Netflix on Nov. 5! That’s less than a month away! And it’s going to be a full 13 episode season, instead of the half-seasons we got with 2 and 3. I’m very excited!
Here’s a quick teaser, released at New York Comic Con.
Not too much to see yet, but there are some big changes in store! Glimmer is now queen. Catra co-leads the Horde. All sorts of fun is afoot! I can’t wait! I love this show! And you should definitely be watching, if you’re not already.

Just a Bunch MORE Trailers!
New York Comic-Con is still in full swing and we’ve got a bunch of more trailers to share, mostly for upcoming TV shows! I love trailers and I love sharing trailers!
First up, let’s check out the trailer for the upcoming Picard TV show, starring Captain Picard from Star Trek! I’ve never been a major Star Trek fan, but I’m enjoying Star Trek: Discovery, and will probably try out Picard.
I’m definitely a fan of this trend of bringing back original actors for revival shows. So keep it up, Hollywood!
And here’s our first proper look at the third season of Runaways! I’m really enjoying this show, and the third season looks to be good. I’m wondering if I should fully binge the Cloak and Dagger show to prepare myself for the crossover.
What shows are you henchies looking forward to? And I’ve got a bunch more trailers to share soon!

Donny Cates is Taking Over Thor
In a few short months, Jason Aaron’s epic run on Thor comics comes to an end. It’s the only Thor series I have read from beginning to end, and I’ve enjoyed the saga immensely! But it’s not the end of Thor, so another writer will take over in the new year: Donny Cates! He will be joined by Nic Klein on art.
I don’t know how I feel about this one yet. First off, I’ve just never cared about Thor as a character, and that’s usually my main reason for whether or not I’ll read a comic. So the character is not bringing me back, and it wasn’t the character that kept me reading Jason Aaron’s run. Second off, Cates has been hit or miss with me. I loved him on Thanos Wins, but his Guardians of the Galaxy was lukewarm for me (Al Ewing is relaunching Guardians next year). I’m enjoying Absolute Carnage, but I wasn’t interested enough to pick up all of his Venom stuff
So I suppose we’ll see when the new Thor #1 arrives in January. You can read more about the comic at Marvel.com. Though we don’t have much more than this initial artwork and the threat of something called “The Black Winter”.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/5/19
I didn’t care for Joker. It’s not my cup of tea. It’s a dark, brooding, severely misanthropic movie that, while well-made and well-acted, is just too bleak for my tastes. If you enjoyed it, more power to you.
Fortunately, we had some truly stellar comics this week! There were some really great turns in Lois Lane, Runaways and The Green Lantern, while Fantastic Four severely disappointed. I’m going to give Comic Book of the Week to House of X #6 for a truly joyous party issue! That sort of fun counts for a lot with me.
Jubilee is in her element
Meanwhile, I’ve dropped Future Foundation now that Marvel has announced a nigh immediate cancellation. Can’t say I’m particularly sad, as I was only lukewarm about the series so far. I just hope Marvel sticks Jeremy Whitley on a character or characters with some actual staying power.
Comic Reviews: Batman #80, Fantastic Four #15, The Green Lantern #12, House of X #6, Lois Lane #4 and Runaways #25.
