Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 4/23/16
Welcome to another thrilling installment of Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews! We’ve got a plate of wonderful comics today, including some of my current favorites, like Astonishing Ant-Man. Some of my review columns have been a little light over the past month, and if you’ve been wondering why, it’s because I’m nearing the end of a Kickstarter campaign for my own comic, Gamer Girl & Vixen!
This week is the final week of the campaign. We’re so close to hitting our goal that I can taste it! But the nerves have kind of dulled me to every other awesome thing in the world right now. So if you’d like to order a copy of my own comic, head on over and pick one up. Every little bit counts at this point!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Power Man and Iron Fist #3, which continues to be a wonderfully entertaining comic. Hopefully my own comic book work can be this good someday.
Not every problem can be solved with mystical kung fu
Comic Reviews: Astonishing Ant-Man #7, Captain Marvel #4, Power Man and Iron Fist #3, and Totally Awesome Hulk #5.
Movie Trailer Friday
I don’t know why this week has resulted in so many new movie trailers. But here’s one for Independence Day: Resurgence! Because why not?
This…does not look good. It looks big and loud and CGI. The great thrill of the first movie was that it showed the real Earth fighting against the aliens. This new, ‘future’ Earth is all fancy technology and CGI advancement. This does not look like Independence Day. This looks like any other space adventure. Poor sequel.

Movie Trailer Thursday
Movie Trailer Thursday is probably not going to become a tradition. Movie trailers come out all the time, and seeing as how I love movie trailers, I share a lot of them. It just so happens that one of these trailers came out today, Thursday, while the other one came out, like, a few days ago. I’m just slow sometimes. Still, enjoy the new trailers for Jason Bourne and Warcraft! I know I did.
Jason Bourne
I don’t know about you, but I think my favorite part of every Jason Bourne movie is when the government guy first sees images of Jason Bourne in the field and goes, ‘Oh my God, that’s Jason Bourne.”
Warcraft
I saw The Jungle Book 3D yesterday, and it was really good. They showed one of the Warcraft trailers in 3D, and it looked kind of amazing.

6 Things I Want to See in the Black Panther Movie
Captain America: Civil War is only a few weeks away, and every single time I see a new ad or clip, I get more and more excited. The reviews are through the roof. All signs are pointing to this being another amazing blockbuster. And we’ve specifically heard that not only does Spider-Man steal the show, but Black Panther’s debut is as awesome as we could hope!
The hype is for real
Unfortunately, we’re going to have to wait until 2018 to see Black Panther’s solo movie. That’s way too long to wait to debut this character, but what do I know? Marvel isn’t paying me multi-millions of dollars to plan these things out. You’d think that a Black Panther movie would be a better follow-up to Civil War than Doctor Strange. But again, what do I know?
I know what I want to see in a Black Panther movie, that’s what! Join me after the jump for my hopes and fears about the film.
Our First Look at the New Rita Repulsa is About as Weird as It Gets!
So that Power Rangers movie is definitely happening. I don’t really have any idea what we’re going to get out of it, but it’s happening and there’s nothing we can do about it but sit back and watch it all unfold. Personally, I’m kind of excited to see their new movie costumes. That should be a hoot.
Until then, we’ll have to make do with the first look at Rita Repulsa, as played by Elizabeth Banks!
Or maybe this is the first image from Pitch Perfect 3
That is one freaky deaky monster lady! They are definitely going with a new design!
Now I’m even more excited to see the new Power Rangers uniforms!
