The 6 Best Bikini Superhero Costumes (And Their Later Improvements)
I need to level with you Henchies for today’s list. I had this big plan about going to see the new Inhumans TV premiere on the big screen last weekend, but my plans fell through and I didn’t manage to shake my cold. So my plan to write an Inhumans review listicle completely fell through. That, coupled with a Labor Day holiday spent hanging out with my parents, and only I found myself finally getting around to writing this week’s list late last night with a splitting headache.
So let’s just spend today celebrating the end of summer with some impractical bikini-like superhero costumes!
It’s fun, it’s simple, and it’s probably everything wrong with superhero costumes in their heyday. So rather than just ogle a bunch of superbabes, I’ve decided to go one step further and show off their newer, less-skimpy updated costumes! As you can see, some progress is being made! Even if some of these characters have since reverted back to their skimpier costumes…still, an effort was made. And I applaud that effort!
Join me after the jump for the six best bikini superhero costumes, and the modern upgrades that are a lot less revealing!
Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 9/2/17
Odd news, everybody! Due to a couple different factors this week, the review pile is kind of small. For one thing, it’s a fifth Wednesday, so there were already fewer books being released, and most of the comics that came out I’m way behind on. For another thing, I have been laid up with a pretty bad cold all week, and I just didn’t feel like reading a lot of comics. Oy, this stupid cold. My kingdom for a cure!
At any rate, I’ve only got two comics on the stack this week. I’m kind of taking it easy. And out of the two of them, Saban’s Go, Go Power Rangers wins Comic Book of the Week! It’s almost as much fun as the regular Power Rangers comic.
Not what it appears
Secret Empire came to an end this week, and I couldn’t care less. I like the ambition and the general idea, but the ending isn’t anything special and the whole adventure lost steam awhile ago. It was a little too huge in scope and didn’t really earn its earnestness.

Meet Tyrannosaurus Regina!
Meet the latest edition to the cast of Gamer Girl & Vixen: Tyrannosaurus Regina! I’m rather proud of this character. I’m surprised nobody has ever used that name before in comics! Well this is me, claiming that name for all posterity! Tyrannosaurus Regina is the next hit villain sensation, and she’ll be debuting in volume 2 of Gamer Girl & Vixen!
My writing partner, Kristi McDowell, and I are already hard at work writing the script for volume 2. And we’ve got artist Gemma Moody and letterer Taylor Esposito back on board. Gemma designed T-Regina up there and she looks gorgeous and killer! Gemma has such a great eye for design.
I’ll have more information about volume 2 soon. Basically, Gamer Girl and Vixen are going to find out there’s a lot more to being a super-villain than just going on fun capers and robbing celebrities. There are some seriously dangerous bad guys out there, and they mean business!
Volume 1 is still available to purchase. Have you read it yet? Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/26/17
You know what I love to do on vacation? Nothing! Flame Con was a huge success last weekend for Gamer Girl & Vixen, and I had a super fun time in New York City. But now I’m just living out the rest of my vacation in calm and solitude. Gotta love that.
Had some great comics this week, from new Power Rangers to Harley Quinn, and a somewhat disappointing new issue of Chip Zdarsky’s Spider-Man. Not sure what happened there. Comic Book of the Week goes to the new Iceman, which is turning out to be a remarkably well-built comic.
Take that, Daken! You’re terrible!
Secret Empire is almost over, thankfully. It’s worn out it’s welcome. Nick Spencer now seems to just be narrating what amounts to just a giant battle of superheroes punching goons. It’ll all be over soon and we can move on with our lives.
Comic Reviews: Batgirl #14, Harley Quinn #26, Iceman #4, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #18 and Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man #3.
Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/19/17
Happy Flame Con Weekend! Your favorite henchie is, at this very moment, showing off Gamer Girl & Vixen at Flame Con in Brooklyn! It’s the first major convention of my growing comic book career, and my team and I couldn’t be more excited! Wish us luck this weekend!
For some reason, there weren’t too many comics this week, but I’ve reviewed a couple anyway! We’ve got Aquaman and Batman in the same week, for one! And another nice issue of Silver Surfer. But Comic Book of the Week goes to the new issue of Mighty Thor for a pretty gnarly battle between good and fire!
I am also reading DC’s Metal event comic. It’s pretty wild, so far, and plays pretty fast and loose with continuity. The problem is that DC’s continuity is kind of off the rails in Rebirth, as I’m not very sure what actually counts as stable continuity anymore. So when you write something like Metal, which is chock full of Easter Eggs and continuity-reliant reveals, some of the energy gets lost in the shuffle.
Like, I’m pretty sure we’re supposed to just ignore New 52 Hawkman? Is that right? Or…are we not and I’m reading too much into it? I have no idea.
On a sad note, did you people know that the previous issue of Unstoppable Wasp was actually it’s final issue?! I had no idea! Marvel stealth cancels their comics now without any sort of announcement, in order to keep perceived failures out of the headlines. Makes sense, but man, I really loved that series. I’m kind of bummed about it.
