Surprise Star Wars Characters Show Up in Bad Batch Season 3
The third and final season of The Bad Batch is coming to Disney+ soon, and it promises to be full of Star Wars action and Star Wars characters. That’s always fun. Personally, I still haven’t seen the second season, but thankfully this trailer doens’t reveal anything too crazy that I missed.
Of course, the big reveal of this trailer is that returning character at the end. No spoilers. I’ve always been a fan of the character, and I’m perfectly happy to see her come back for some awesome action scenes. Why not? Nobody’s ever really gone in Star Wars. As long as the episodes and the action is entertaining.
The third season of The Bad Batch comes to Disney+ on February 21!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 1/20/24
What a great week in comics! If you didn’t see already, I’m ramping up my own self-published comic output this year with some Gamer Girl & Vixen web comics. Check them out! And more announcements coming soon! Meanwhile, we’ve got some solid regular comics too, like Superman and the first issue of Cobra Commander!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Wonder Woman #5, because even the place-setting issues of this series are great! It’s nice to see that Yara Flor is still around.
Meanwhile, I’ve settled into some nice, comfortable monotony with Project Zomboid, even though I’ve been reading to hang it up for a while now. It keeps me entertained, and that’s what matters. I just like pedantry in my games. I spent a whole afternoon in this zombie game just mowing the overgrown lawn of my safehouse.
Comic Reviews: Avengers: Twilight: Book One, Cobra Commander #1, Superman #10 and Wonder Woman #5.

Hey everybody! Big news today from the me, the guy who writes the Henchman-4-Hire blog content. As longtime readers know, I’m not just a comic book blogger, but I’m also working on my own self-published comics on the side.

To kick off the build-up and hype train, we’ve also commissioned a few short web comics starring our two main characters! And we’re releasing the first comic today on Global Comix!
So click on the link, click on the picture, and go check out the first Gamer Girl & Vixen short comic! I will be sharing each new comic when they come out on Fridays for the next few weeks! And if you never read the original Gamer Girl & Vixen graphic novel, that’s also available digitally at Global Comix. We also have plenty of the tpbs available if anybody wants one. Just let me know!
And gear up for more GG&V content in the days, weeks and months ahead!

Adam Sandler Has Made a Weird Spaceman Movie
Adam Sandler makes movies, sometimes they’re fun and dumb, and sometimes they’re thinky pieces starring astronauts trapped in space and possibly hallucinating. That’s what seems to be the case with Spaceman, his new Netflix movie.
Looks…weird? I wonder why they went with a giant spider. I wonder why they went with any of it. But if Sandler is involved, it’s no doubt going to be some degree of good. So count me in!
Spaceman comes to Netflix on March 1.

6 Thoughts on Echo
Consider me among the people who wasn’t sure if an Echo spin-off series as a great idea. I enjoyed the Hawkeye TV show probably more than most people, and Echo was a fine antagonist in that series, but she wasn’t exactly a showstealer. And her character isn’t exactly all that popular or well known in the comics. But Marvel do what Marvel do, and we got ourselves an Echo TV show!
TV Show Rating: 6/10 – Pretty Good
In a change from the normal Marvel show on Disney+, all five episodes of Echo were released on the same day. Ultimately, this was a great idea, because those episodes were not meaty enough to warrant week-by-week release. I was able to binge the whole thing over a few nights and I can say I’m pleased with the final product. It’s not as bad as I feared, though it also didn’t do much to warrant existing. Still, there’s more good than bad in the first season of Echo and I wouldn’t mind seeing more — especially guest starring elsewhere.
Join me after the jump for my review and full thoughts on the Echo TV show! Expect SOME SPOILERS for the show, and feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.
