Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/31/15
Happy Halloween! I hope all you ghosts, ghouls and superheroes have a lot of fun today! Halloween is my favorite holiday because of the insanely awesome pageantry involved. It’s just so much fun! Too bad we didn’t get any spooky comics this week…at least not in my regular pile. I should start reading Wytches maybe.
Word of note, before we begin: there won’t be any reviews next Saturday! Yours truly is going on vacation to London next week, and I won’t get any comics! I’ll still try to get some videos up, and a couple Lists of Six, but we’re skipping comic reviews next week. It’s for the best.
Fortunately, this week was pretty darn good. Batgirl #45 wins Comic Book of the Week for a lovely wedding issue.
Let’s make the magic happen!
Always good to see more diverse weddings and love stories in comics! We’ve come a long way since Northstar got married.
Comic Reviews: Angela: Queen of Hel #1, Batgirl #45, Batman and Robin Eternal #4, Chewbacca #2, Grayson #13, Sam Wilson: Captain America #2 and Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #1.
Halloween is for Cool Kids!
Hi everybody! I know it’s the day before Halloween, but most people in my office don’t work tomorrow, so we’re holding Halloween today. As such, I thought I’d share with all you fine henchies my ‘costume’ for this year, if you could call it that. If I was rich and good at cosplay, I’d probably go as a different henchman each year…but I think I did alright this year!
Happy Halloween, everybody!

Bad Lip Reading the Debates!
Bad Lip Reading is one of the Internet’s true treasures, and they don’t hold back when it comes to crazy presidential debates. They slammed out the first Democratic debate last night, and I’m gonna add the Republican debate from a few months ago to be fair!
This is all the politics I need in my life.

The 6 Gnarliest Uses of Cerberus in Pop Culture
Halloween is my favorite holiday, and I like to celebrate on my blog with monster lists! I’ve done ghosts, I’ve done movie monsters, and this year we’re going to celebrate my favorite monster of all time: Cerberus, the original dog from Hell!
Who’s a good boy? Who’s a good bo-oy?
I was a huge fan of Greek Myths when I was a kid. I used to take this big book of Greek Myths out of the Middle School library all the time! And Cerberus, the three-headed guard dog of the Underworld, was my favorite monster. He’s just so snarly and badass! I even used to draw a Cerberus superhero, who had a normal head, then two fake dog heads on his shoulders as part of his costume. Man, I’d give anything to find some of my old middle school sketches… Anyway, for Halloween this year, I’ve put together a list of the best Cerberus cameos in pop culture!
Join me after the jump if you dare to be scared!
Why Are Costume Websites Our Leading Source of Superhero Infographics?
It boggles the mind! All the costume websites seem to produce superhero infographics that often don’t have anything to do with costumes (but sometimes they do!). Are there no other people in the world making these graphics? Do these costume websites, which are about selling Halloween costumes, have people on staff just to make these infographics? How much money do they make?!
This time around, MorphSuits.com has made a list of Marvel characters who deserve their own movie! I agree with about half this list. I was never interested in Adam Warlock, and I have an odd hang-up about bringing She-Hulk into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I made a list like this myself once, way back at the start of my blog in 2011. Maybe I should update it to fit Marvel’s current plans going forward…
