The Muppets Are Coming Back to TV!
Apparently the world knew this was a thing long before I did, but I just saw the first trailer this morning and it’s actually pretty funny.
This could be a really good show! I mean, I’ll always believe in the Muppets. There are few things I like more than when people collectively decide to treat fictional characters as real, like Kermit or Chewbacca. You do not break the Fourth Wall with Kermit the Frog, you just do not, I don’t care who you are.
I can still remember watching reruns of the original Mupper Show in syndication when I was a kid. And I was definitely a Muppet Babies kid, that’s for darn sure. So hey, maybe this will be a neat show!

6 Characters I Can Blame For the Common Cold
Ugh. Is there any worse feeling than trying to shake the last days of a cold? Probably, but for me right now, there definitely isn’t. I’ve been battling this bug for days now and I just want my nose to work properly again! Is that too much to ask?!
Help me, monster!
At any rate, as with all things that crop up in a given week, I’ve decided to turn my cold into a List of Six! So I scoured the world of pop culture to find six characters, good and bad, who revel in disease and infection. It’s not going to be pretty. You might want to have a box of tissues handy before joining me after the jump!
Gamer Girl & Vixen: The Final Countdown!
We are less than a week away from the Kickstarter launch of Gamer Girl & Vixen! I’ve been building to this moment for months now, getting all of the finishing touches in place and doing all of the research under the sun on running a successful campaign. It all starts with you wonderful henchies and the support you’ve shown so far. I haven’t been this excited since we were days away from Age of Ultron coming out – which, I’ll admit, was only a couple weeks ago.
Still, everything is on track for an awesome launch weekend. We’ve got tons of rewards to give away, tons of art to show off, and hopefully we’ll really spread the word around the Interwebs.
If you’re unfamiliar with how to use Kickstarter (I know I was), I’ve put together this handy dandy FAQ to help out. It’s as simple as ordering something from Amazon or any other website.
And to keep the excitement building, here’s a tease for the final cover of issue #1! It’s gorgeous, and I can’t wait to reveal the whole thing this weekend!
But mostly, I just wanted to post this music video!

Everybody is a Little Bit Worthy
For some reason, this lousy cold just won’t let go of me! Every day has just been a little bit stuffy, a little bit headachey, but I think today I’m going to see the end of it. So while I head out to the store to buy some decongestants, you guys can watch this funny Avengers video from Dorkly.
Good stuff, Dorkly. Now cure me of the common cold!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 5/9/15
Oy, I’m sick. I don’t know if it’s Spring Fever or Just a Fever or what, but I’ve come down with that cough and uggish feeling that’s going around. It’s definitely not dance fever, that’s for darn sure. Fortunately, I had a big stack of my favorite comics to keep me company this week.
We got new issues of Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, Ant-Man and Amazing Spider-Man, as well as the only Convergence title I’m reading: The Question. Not surprisingly, seeing Greg Rucka and Cully Hamner reunite for a Renee Montoya comic wins Comic Book of the Week. I need this comic in my life on a full-time basis.
Like they need another smash in the head
If nothing else, Convergence at least allowed Rucka to return to one of his best characters, so I guess I’m grateful for that. The rest of the series blows, from what I’m reading around the web.
Speaking of the web, you can check out my review of Secret Wars #1 over at Word of the Nerd this week. I’d planned to add it to this article as well, but that sickness hit me like a ton of bricks. Sometimes the world just doesn’t want you to write about comic books.
Comic Reviews: Amazing Spider-Man #18, Ant-Man #5, Convergence: The Question #2, Spider-Woman #7 and Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #5.
