Ironheart is Coming Soon!
The Ironheart TV show will arrive on Disney+ next month, and Marvel has finally put out a full trailer for the show! I think it looks good and I’m definitely going to watch.
I thought Ironheart was fine in Wakanda Forever, and I’ll watch anything Marvel puts out, with an open mind. I didn’t have much faith in an Agatha Harkness TV show, but Agatha All Along was really fun! Even Echo was entertaining. So you best believe I’ll watch and hopefully enjoy Ironheart.
The first half of the show will come out on June 24, and then the second batch of three episodes will come out in July.

6 Thoughts on Thunderbolts* (Review)
The second of three Marvel movies hit the big screen this past weekend and I was right there opening night, like the good old days! I was very excited for Thunderbolts* and I’m very happy to say that it mostly lived up to my expectations. Part of me wanted more from the movie, but only in the sense that it was already good and I just wanted more of it to enjoy.
Movie Rating: 8/10 – Very Good
I will admit that Thunderbolts* was not the rip-roaring good time I was hoping for, and that’s OK. This was a darker, more somber movie, while still having bits of fun and great action. It’s not the second coming of the Avengers — despite the title/marketing change. I still had fun with this one, and I bet it’s going to grow on me over time. I really want to go back and see it in the theaters for a second time.
Join me after the jump for my full thoughts/review of Thunderbolts*. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the whole movie, so read at your own peril. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.

Our year of new Marvel content has begun, with Captain America: Brave New World kicking off an entire 2025 of new movies and shows. I’m super excited! I remain a diehard Marvel fan, and there’s very little that’s going to knock me from my perch. Judge me if you will, but I really enjoyed this fourth Captain America film.
Movie Rating: 6/10 – Pretty Good
Falcon and the Winter Soldier is probably my second favorite of the Marvel Studios TV shows. I thought it was an awesome show, with great themes, characters and more. Exploring African American history through the lens of Captain America was a great idea, and I think that show pulled it off nicely. So I was very much looking forward to Sam Wilson getting his own Cap movie. And while I know a lot of people are sour on this movie for some reason, I had a blast.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 11/30/24
Happy American Thanksgiving, everyone! I had a lovely holiday with family, and then squeezed in a bunch of comics this week. Stuff like Absolute Wonder Woman and Mystique, even!
Comic Book of the Week goes to the first issue of Justice League Unlimited because I would say it lives up to the hype and excitement of what this comic could be.
Meanwhile, I’m on vacation for the week ahead and am loading up on video games to play. I’ve got another Baldur’s Gate 3 playthrough in me. I’m finally gonna try Hades because it’s on sale. And the Sniper Elite 5 DLC I’d been waiting to go on sale is now on sale, so that too! All of this is to say I’ve convinced myself not to buy Dragon Age: The Veilguard at full price, which is what I had been planning.
Also, this is gonna sound weird…but both Marvel and DC have comics that feature a character named Tuatara this week. When I saw the names, I wasn’t sure what I was reading, but I Googled and both characters have existed in past comics. So they aren’t brand new. It’s just that…two very different writers on two very different comics for two different companies…both decided to use their company’s Tuatara for a brief cameo appearance in comics that came out on the same week?!
Also, a Tuatara is a lizard from New Zealand, if you didn’t know, which I didn’t.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Wonder Woman #2, Iron Man #2, Justice League Unlimited #1 and Mystique #2.

This weekend delivered us some awesome Marvel movie trailers, and yesterday delivered the trailer for the third season of the What If…? cartoon show! I like What If…? It’s a fun show with neat animation. Sometimes they really have fun with it. Let’s hope they have fun with this season.
Yep, that was a really great trailer ending! They made the right choice with that inclusion. That’s what’s going to get people talking. The rest of the trailer looked fun…but I’ll be honest, heh…when it was just people’s faces and not costumes, I couldn’t tell who anybody was. I knew the cowboy was Shang-Chi because of a previous trailer with closed captions. Perhaps I should have turned closed captions on with this trailer, then I’d know who was talking.
Definitely didn’t need them for Storm talking!
The third and final season of What If…? arrives on Dec. 22 for another Christmastime marathon!
