Movie Trailer Monday!
It’s Monday. I’m off from work. Just home relaxing, sleeping in, and sharing a couple of movie trailers that showed up on the internet over the weekend. That’s how I roll. That’s how the world should roll.
We’ll kick things off with Despicable Me 4, which is apparently the highest grossing animated movie franchise of all time? God damn world.
Looks OK. Mostly it looks full of too much new stuff. New baby, new villain, new…sidekick? Who is that woman with the poofy red hair in the final scene? This trailer is just about hijinks instead of story, which is a shame. I’d like some story…not that I really care, honestly. I’m no Despicable Me purist or anything. Also, why aren’t the girls aging at all? That would be fun to explore.
Despicable Me 4 comes to theaters on July 3.
Next up is Monkey Man, wherein Dev Patel stars and directs his own John Wick.
Looks fine. Looks full of action. And that’s what it wants to be. Dav Patel and producer Jordan Peele should be able to make something good, I should think.
Monkey Man comes to theaters on April 5.
Lastly, it’s Ricky Stanicky!
John Cena and Zac Efron having fun in a straight-to-Amazon Prime movie? Could be worth a watch. Could be garbage. We’ll never know until it comes to Prime on March 7 and somebody remembers to watch it.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 1/27/24
Welp, here we are at the end of January. The month just flew by, and February promises to be rather exciting for yours truly. I will announce more when I can, don’t want to jump the gun. Let’s just say this is gonna be a good year for your ole pal Henchie and making comics.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #116 for actually taking me by surprise.
Meanwhile, I have cast aside the madness that was Project Zomboid and now I’m settling into Super Mario Wonder. I splurged on that game before Christmas but then got distracted. So hopefully I’ll have fun with that. Also, I just finished the second season of The Bear and I wish I’d watched it sooner because it definitely would have made my year-end list for favorite TV show. Hot damn that was good television!
Comic Reviews: G.O.D.S. #4 and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #116.

Live Action Last Airbender Still Looks Cool As Heck!
We got a full trailer for the Avatar: The Last Airbender TV show the other day and it still looks slick and cool as all get out. Netflix and the production company have gone all out with the visuals. They not only nailed the look from the original cartoon, but they’ve also enhanced everything in the live action conversion. See for yourself!
Personally, as visually appealing as that trailer is, I think it’s cut really badly. That joke where Aang crashes on his air zoomy and then Sokka makes a quip is bad. But maybe that’s on me. It’s still a cool trailer, and it shows off a lot of stuff from the show. So at the very least, the live action Avatar: The Last Airbender looks visually appealing. Hopefully we’ll get a lot of episodes and get through a lot of the first book.
Avatar: The Last Airbender comes to Netflix on Feb. 22.

6 Other Classic Cartoons That Could Use a Modern Comic Reboot
For years now, classic cartoons from the 1980s and sometimes 1990s have been all the rage. They get rebooted, they get new, updated cartoons, and sometimes they get big budget movie adaptations! The latest attempt to cash in on that nostalgia is serious, epic comic book runs. I’ve always known that comics are a great medium for this kind of thing, and am excited to see what’s coming.
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic at IDW is about to hit issue #150, and will have a soft relaunch with a new, famous creative team. The ThunderCats comic is making news for a ton of pre-orders for their upcoming #1 issue launch from Dynamite. And both the Transformers and G.I.Joe are getting a big push with the Energon Universe through Image and Skybound. It’s a great time to be a fan of the cartoons from my youth. So what other cartoons could use a fun, modern comic book reboot? I’m glad you asked!
Join me after the jump for six cartoons from my childhood in the 1980s and 90s that could use a modern, serious, comic book relaunch! Also, if any comic companies are reading this, I’m currently available to hire to write these myself!
