We Now Have the Details on the New G.I.Joe Comic
I’ve been reading as many of the new Energon Universe comics as I can, because I liked the idea, I loved the creators, and I’m always open to new things to read. I’ve enjoyed them pretty much across the board. So I’m excited to see everything finally coming together into the new G.I.Joe comic, announced yesterday.
G.I.Joe will be written by Joshua Williamson, with art by Tom Reilly and Jordie Bellaire! It comes out in November!
I am fully on board! Williamson has been on fire for me lately, and I enjoyed all the set up he put into the Duke mini-series. I loved the first issue of Scarlett. Cobra Commander was solid. I haven’t read Destro yet. But Transformers is great, and Void Rivals is awesome. So I can’t wait to see them start bringing so much of it together for G.I.Joe.
No sign of Snake Eyes yet, the best Joe. I’m confident they’re saving him for something good!

6 of My Preferred Superman Status Quos
I started watching My Adventures With Superman recently and it’s pretty fun! We’ve also got that new Superman movie coming out next year or so. And that live action Superman & Lois show is coming upon it’s last season. So everything is coming up Superman these days! I figured that meant I should do a Superman list.
This list is about my personally preferred Superman status quos. Is that the right way to say it? I wasn’t sure of the word choice. Basically, there are a bunch of factoids about Superman’s basic set up and origin, and they tend to change from one adaptation or comic to the next. It’ll make more sense what I’m talking about once I get to the actual list. I’m not entirely sure where these opinions came from, probably stuff I was introduced to about the character when I was a kid. And now all of that has been weathered by age and seeing various takes on the Man of Steel. Well, these are my favorite takes!
Join me after the jump for my personal choices when it comes to crafting Superman’s status quo! And feel free to share your own versions in the comments below!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/22/24
Another week where a lot of my favorite comics come out! But I’m not reviewing everything anymore these days. Some times a new comic is just really enjoyable, but there’s not much I have to say about it, so to spare my sanity sometimes, I’m just not going to include it. Looking at you, latest excellent issue of Nightwing…But we do have new Batman and Ultimate Spider-Man comics!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Wonder Woman #10 for a truly emotional and heartfelt issue that finally addresses the Cheetah in the room.
Meanwhile, not much else going on for me right now. I’m juggling a few different video games until I settle on something big and new. Maybe Elden Ring, finally? I’m not really vibing with The Acolyte, haven’t started The Boys. Haven’t read any of my big pile of graphic novels. Moving along nicely on making Gamer Girl & Vixen. And surviving this heat wave. So yeah, just kinda strolling along through life.
Comic Reviews: Batman #149, Ultimate Spider-Man #6 and Wonder Woman #10.
Read the rest of this entryThey’re Making An Animated Watchmen
Man, nothing is going on this week other than the heat. I’ve had a lot of success either staying in my air conditioned office or my air conditioned home (my car’s AC is broken). So I haven’t really worried about the heat. But in order to fulfill my oath of posting something online every once and a while, here’s the trailer for the first parts of an animated Watchmen adaptation.
We’ve had a number of Watchmen adaptations over the years. There was a motion comic once that I watched, and it had one, male voice actor doing the voices for everybody. Will this one be any different? I don’t know! But it promises to be very faithful to the comic. I think they’re just going to animate the comic right off that page. That might be neat!
Watchmen Parts 1 & 2 come out in August! And…uh…I don’t know in what format. On Max? In theaters? Surely not on DVD…

6 X-Men Who Could Be Avengers
Despite being two of the flagship teams at Marvel, there has been very little membership crossover between the X-Men and the Avengers. In fact, it’s being hailed as a big deal that Storm will join the Avengers later this year as part of the new X-Men revival. Should be fun!
Only a couple of X-Men have joined the Avengers over the decades. Beast is the most famous, and then Wolverine joined when they reworked the Avengers out of the most popular characters in the 2000s. Cannonball and Sunspot joined Jonathan Hickman’s Avengers because he loves those characters. And the Uncanny Avengers have been a thing a couple of times. But this list is all about the main Avengers roster, the premiere superhero team in the Marvel Universe. The roster tends to always be in flux these days, and I think it could use some new mutant blood.
So join me after the jump for six X-Men characters who, I think, could make it as Avengers. Or at least they’d be an interesting addition to the team. And feel free to share your own ideas in the comments below!
