Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 11/2/19
Oh what a world, what a world! I was swamped at work this week, so I didn’t have time to read too many comics. Fortunately, it was a Fifth Wednesday situation, so there weren’t many comics to worry about anyway!
Excalibur arrives to continue Dawn of X, and it’s fine. Runaways has a quiet issue that just moves the story along. And Mighty Morphin Power Rangers wins Comic Book of the Week for another exciting issue!
I need Omega Pink to happen
Meanwhile, I’ve been reading through Brian Michael Bendis’ Daredevil for the first time ever. It’s pretty good! And in comic book movie news, we have confirmation of Into the Spider-Verse 2 and Ant-Man 3! That’s pretty exciting!
Comic Reviews: Excalibur #1, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #44 and Runaways #26.
Diablo 4 Is On Its Way!
We all love video games. I know I do. And so another long-lasting, ever popular franchise will be back for another installment. Blizzard — which is facing all sorts of trouble this year — has announced Diablo 4!
They did so with this long, fancy, cinematic trailer.
I’ve been a Diablo fan since the beginning. And even though I’m just as bothered as anybody else with Blizzard’s China connections as of late, I’m still quite excited to play such a game as Diablo 4.
They also released a gameplay trailer and announced the first three classes: barbarian, druid and sorceress.
The game looks like a Diablo game, alright. Though I’m a little disappointed that it’s just going to be another medieval adventure. Why not pick a new era? Maybe pirate era Diablo? Or modern day? That would be fun! Maybe make Diablo the hero this time against a corrupt Heaven?
Just spitballing here. No release date yet.

The Witcher TV Show Will Either Be Good or Bad
I’m a huge fan of The Witcher video games. But the new Witcher Netflix show is going to be based on the books. So who knows exactly what we’re going to get. And I’m not sure this trailer provides that good of a look.
I honestly don’t know what to make of what we’re seeing here. It looks well made, but I also don’t know if Henry Cavill can pull this off. They should have given him the beard from Witcher 3, even though it’s not canonically accurate at all. Geralt of Rivia just looks better with a beard.
We’ll see! The Witcher TV show comes out on Dec. 20!

Death Stranding Looks Weird as Heck; Avengers Looks Better
A couple new video game trailers came out yesterday for some very anticipated games.
First up is Death Stranding, Hideo Kojima’s new masterpiece that just looks weird as heck! I think you play a delivery man trying to remake America?
Honestly, I don’t want to look up any details about Death Stranding. This looks weird as heck and I don’t want to know anything about it before playing. Though I’ll probably wait and see what the reviews say, see if this is any good. I’m a big Metal Gear Solid fan, so I’m hopeful.
Meanwhile, the Avengers video game put out a new trailer that actually explains what this game is going to be. And it looks a little better than all of the fancy story trailers we’ve already seen.
I’m still not confident that this is going to be more than an on-rails punch’em up, but we’ll see. I’m definitely interested in a big, full scale Avengers game, especially playing as Kamala Khan.
So we’ll see what the future of video games hold!
