Can Even Guardians of the Galaxy 2 Compete in a Post Skull Island World?
We’re living in a post-Kong: Skull Island trailer world. Earlier this week, they ran one of the coolest, most artsy and catchy movie trailers I’ve ever seen. And watching the new Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 trailer this morning, I couldn’t help but feel…let down.
I mean, it’s a fine trailer. It’s funny and has some solid one-liners. It’s probably not the strongest Guardians 2 trailer they’ve put out. But man, that Skull Island trailer was something else, right? I’m gonna go watch that one again.

6 Superheroes Who Need to be Turned Into LEGO
Want to hear something that boggles my mind? There’s going to be a Detroit Steel LEGO set coming out this year. Do you remember Detroit Steel? Of course you don’t. The character existed for a very brief part of Matt Fraction’s run on Invincible Iron Man as a sort of hyper-patriotic, Red State version of Iron Man. He’s a military soldier piloting a big, red, white and blue super suit.
And he’s going to be in LEGO!
Matt Fraction must be so proud
That’s insane. Is LEGO really so out of ideas that they’re turning to Detroit Steel to come up with viable sets to build and sell? Why don’t they just give me a call? I’m bristling with ideas and I would love to share a few after the jump!
Also, I’m probably totally going to buy the Detroit Steel LEGO set. I loved Fraction’s Invincible Iron Man. It was the first ongoing Iron Man comic I ever read.
Doctor Strange Was Honestly Good!
Doctor Strange comes out on DVD today, so let’s celebrate with an Honest Trailer!
I love them things. And I loved this movie. Though I suppose the heat has worn off a little bit. And it never helps when Honest Trailers really nails them for all their faults. Poor Doctor Strange movie.

New Kong: Skull Island Trailer is Pretty Darn Artistic
I’m not sure what to expect with Kong: Skull Island. I’m worried that it’s just going to be a big, CGI-filled action movie that just happens to include King Kong. But there’s a new trailer that looks absolutely phenomenal!
Like, that’s the most artistic movie trailer I think I’ve ever seen! It’s well edited, it’s got exciting new footage, some great dialogue bits, and it even makes John C. Reilly’s random comedic relief character seem alright. I dig this trailer.
Also, the movie comes out in less than two weeks! We are definitely already in prime movie season, it would seem!

Say Hello to Henchie!
Say hello to Henchie, the new Henchman-4-Hire mascot! I’ve been meaning to create my own iconic mascot since I started this blog upwards of six years ago, but through sheer force of laziness, it never happened! But jokes on you, Past Sean, because the future is here and the mascot is now!
Maybe he’ll get a real name someday
Henchie was designed and drawn by artist extraordinaire Gemma Moody, the artist on my comic series, Gamer Girl & Vixen. I knew she was the perfect choice to draw a fun and friendly mascot. She’s superb! And she’s open for commissions if you’d like your own artwork!
Sometime soon — probably tonight (Update: or right now, actually, I got tired of waiting) — I’m going to add Henchie to the blog. I’m going to change some colors around and add a new header image at the top there. I may even do more changes beyond that in the future, depends on what random whims control my destiny.
For now, say hello to my own original blog mascot! All my pinks are especially tickled that I now have my own Henchman-4-Hire!
