Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 2/22/14
We have arrive at another round of comic book reviews, but sadly, none of them feature LEGOs or the Guardians of the Galaxy. What a week though, right? Is anybody else still buzzing about that trailer? The more times I watch it, the more confident I become in that movie. But enough about them, on with the reviews! We’ve got stellar issues of Harley Quinn and Wonder Woman this week, and mediocre issues of Punisher, Uncanny X-Men and the brand new New Warriors. Only Batwoman was the real standout, which pleases me beyond measure. Batwoman wins Comic Book of the Week!

Parody, they name is funny.
Who doesn’t love a good parody cartoon? This one is by El Cid, though, of course, it pales in comparison to the greatest Watchmen parody cartoon of all time.
6 Greatest Romantic Missed Opportunities in Comics
I was so excited about The LEGO Movie last week that I totally forgot it was Valentine’s Day! And I had this romantic comic book list all prepared. Welp, fortunately for me, love is an all-year-round sort of thing, and this list works just as good today as it would have last week! It’s a fun bit of speculation game of the top comic book couples I wish would happen. I love a good romance as much as the next person, but for some reason, comic book writers can’t read my mind.
For example: This = Terrible
On the Internet, this sort of thing is known as ‘shipping’. And as much as I enjoy listing my ideal team lineups or what I’d like to see in a potential movie, I’m also a sucker for true love. So here are the top 6 romantic couples in comics that I wish would hook up. And believe me, if I ever get to write comics, these are going to happen.
I’d love to hear some of your romantic ideas in the comments! Please feel free to share.
Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 2/15/14
Where is all the love? Valentine’s Day was only yesterday, yet none of this week’s comics were lovey dovey in the very least! Where was the pink? Or the hearts? Maybe Cupid has gone crazy and starts attacking Gotham City? Not even a Star Sapphire one-shot special? I feel very disappointed.
Heck, not even Superman/Wonder Woman was all that romantic, unless you count fighting super-villains to be date material…which I do. But love aside, we’ve got a smattering of good comics this week, including the future of Harper Row over in Batman, and the future of Toad in Wolverine and the X-Men. I was very tempted to celebrate all things Toad this week, but the new She-Hulk series files the proper motions to become Comic Book of the Week.
Not that Toad wasn’t awesome…and a little romantic.
Comic Reviews: Batman #28, She-Hulk #1, Superior Spider-Man #27, Superman/Wonder Woman #5, Wolverine and the X-Men #41 and X-Force #1.
The Wrong Cyclops is Getting His Own Series
Marvel has announced that Cyclops is going to get his own ongoing series, written by legendary writer Grug Rucka, no less. The only problem is that it’s going to star the Young Cyclops from the original X-Men, who time traveled to the present day and is currently a member of the All-New X-Men.
Lame!
Cyclops in SPAAAAAAAACE!
I’m all for Greg Rucka working at Marvel, but are they unaware that regular Cyclops is pretty much the coolest, most badass character at Marvel right now? I know he’s got a starring role in Uncanny X-Men, but come on, adult Cyclops is waaaay cooler than this young punk!
Anyway, the series is going to be about Cyclops connecting with his dad, Corsair, who is a space pirate. Can’t say as how I’m all that interested, but Comic Book Resources has an interview with Rucka.
