Tobuscus Returns With a Suicide Squad Vengeance!
Are you ready to rock?! I can’t hear you! Are you ready to rock?! Tobuscus is back with another Literal Trailer, and it blows everybody else to kingdom come!
These Literal Trailers are some of my favorite Youtube bits, even though Tobuscus doesn’t post them very often. He’s more than made up for the wait with this new one. Holy wowzers, that’s one rocking, awesome remix of Bohemian Rhapsody. Somebody get this guy some Internet Bucks!
Oh, and Suicide Squad still looks cool.

The Flash’s Secret, Illegal Prison Has Gone Too Far
I don’t talk much about TV shows while they’re in progress, usually saving that for some end-of-season wrap-ups. But after the last two episodes of The Flash, I can’t stay silent any longer! The Flash and his allies, the supposed heroes of the show, are keeping a secret, illegal prison in their basement and holding multiple American citizens against their will with no due process at all.
The Flash likes to gloat
This is nothing new. This has been the status quo since early in Season 1, when they captured their first metahuman and didn’t know what else to do with him. They panicked, came up with this prison idea, and have just been rolling with it. That’s bad enough.
But now they’ve gone too far. Join me after the jump! SPOILERS for the last few episodes of The Flash.
Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 1/30/16
We’re still tepidly awaiting the reveal of the new DC Rebirth here in Comic Book Land. Will it be a complete reboot like the New 52? Or just a relaunch like Marvel’s Post-Secret Wars plans? Your guess is as good as mine! I’m just gonna keep reading and enjoying myself.
One comic that I know will never let you down is my own, Gamer Girl & Vixen! We’re gearing up for another Kickstarter soon, so if you missed out on getting the comic the first time, we’re going to go bigger and better soon! I’ll try not to talk your ears off too much about it.
Until then, let’s enjoy new issues of the Avengers, Spider-Woman, We Are Robin and more! This week finally saw the release of Faith #1 from Valiant Comics, which I was excited about, but which didn’t live up to the hype. Fortunately, the new issue of Grayson steals the show with one of the best non-Squirrel Girl jokes I’ve read in awhile.
Wait for it…
Consider that Comic Book of the Week material!
Also, for anybody tuning in for my ongoing coverage of Saga, I decided not to review the new issue because not a whole lot happens. Brian Vaughn kind of just moved a few pieces around the board. Not a big deal.
Comic Reviews: All-New, All-Different Avengers #4, Angela: Queen of Hel #4, Faith #1, Grayson #16, Spider-Woman #3 and We Are Robin #8.
We’re Getting a New Justice League Cartoon!
The first poster for the new cartoon — Justice League Action — has arrived and been confirmed by Cartoon Network! The new show will be all about action, and will air in 11-minute segments — kind of like Teen Titans Go! .
We do know that Kevin Conroy will be back as Batman, and Mark Hamill will be back as the Joker, so those are pretty cool. And Deidrich Bader, who I will always know best as Oswald from The Drew Carey Show, will be Booster Gold. So we know there will be a rotating cast of heroes, as you can see in the background of the poster there.
No premiere date has been announced or anything else, really. I suppose that’ll be coming. Who’s excited? Who’s dreading a JL version of Teen Titans Go!?

Oh Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., You Try, You Really Do
I mostly enjoy Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. It’s a fine enough show, providing a bit of entertainment throughout my week. But oh man is it trying so hard. Right, Honest Trailers?
They got zinged hard! The Screen Junkies are usually always on point. I’m probably gonna keep watching though. Gotta hold out hope for that Ant-Man cameo…
