Freddy Krueger has a Neat History!
Want to see the visual history of horror icon Freddy Krueger animated with awesome skill? Of course you do!
Hats off to the good folks/dude at Tell It Animated! Much like Jason, I never watched any Nightmare on Elm Street movies as a kid. In fact, I don’t think I’ve gone back to watch any of them either. I did watch the new reboot…but didn’t care for it. Still, these videos rule.

Let’s Celebrate Black Panther!
Black Panther came out on DVD last week and I’m going to have to pick up a copy, because I’d enjoy seeing that movie again. Since it came out on DVD, that means we’ve got the usual batch of funny Internet parody videos.
Like Honest Trailers.
Gotta love that Internet! And Black Panther! Go watch it again and maybe come up with your own wacky Internet comedy movie bit!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 5/19/18
Anybody else see Deadpool 2 this weekend? That was a fun movie! Anybody want to take bets until Firefist shows up in comics? I’d say it’s about as inevitable as Negasonic Teenage Warhead getting the movie makeover after the last Deadpool movie…
Speaking of comics, we had some fine ones this week! Power Rangers continues their big Shattered Grid event. The final issue of All-New Wolverine drops a nice little finale. And the Avengers and Justice League face off to win my favor…and Comic Book of the Week goes to the second issue of Justice League: No Justice!
Somewhere you obviously weren’t invited
Meanwhile, I’ve decided to drop X-Men Red. It’s not what I thought it would be and, despite my being a big fan of writer Tom Taylor, I’m just not really digging it. I’d rather drop books I’m not enjoying than keep giving them crummy reviews. This week’s issue was fine, but just no what I’m looking for in an X-Men comic these days.
Also new this week, I’ve decided to start listing more creatives in the credits section of my reviews. A letterer friend of mine pointed out that reviewers should credit everybody, and he’s right. The only reason I wasn’t was because I’m lazy. So from now on, inkers, colorists and letterers!
Comic Reviews: All-New Wolverine #35, Avengers #2, Batman #47, Justice League: No Justice #2 and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #27.
The Weird, Raunchy Muppets Movie We’ve Always Wanted
Have you heard about The Happytime Murders? It’s a really crazy, raunchy movie with Muppets. I’m not sure if it’s an official Muppet production…but jeez louise!
Looks hilarious, I’m definitely on board. It’s also nice that Melissa McCarthy might actually be in a good movie this year, compared to the dreck trailers I keep seeing her in…

There’s Gonna Be a New West Coast Avengers!
This is some great comic book news! Writer Kelly Thompson is going to write a new West Coast Avengers comic, starring Hawkeye, America Chavez, Gwenpool, Quentin Quire, Hawkeye, and that guy who was hurriedly revealed to have super-powers at the end of Thompson’s Hawkeye comic!
This has me really excited. Thompson is phenomenal on comics. I’ve loved both her Hawkeye and her Rogue & Gambit comics. So I think a team of awesome Thompson-esque characters trying to play at being the West Coast Avengers sounds like fun to me!
I definitely have to finish reading all the Gwenpool comics before this comes out.
Also, this may just be me, but I find it slightly silly that Johnny is part of the team. He’s a Thompson-created character, so she’s more than welcome to use him, but he was a little silly in the Hawkeye series. Basically, the comic got cancelled before Thompson really had a chance to play up the romance subplots she was working on. So in the last couple of issues, she not only quickly hooked up Kate and Johnny with, like, a single kiss. But she also introduced the idea that Johnny could turn into rocks or something. She was forced to rush through everything she wanted to do with Johnny in, like, the last issue. It was funny.
And now he’s back! So good for Thompson and Johnny!
The first issue comes out at the end of August!
