6 Costumes I Want in the New Spider-Man Games
I am currently swinging my way through the new Spider-Man 2 video game on Playstation 5, having a grand old time fighting bad guys, thwipping webs and fighting Venoms. When I beat the game, I’ll do a round-up List of Six (maybe next week?), but today I wanted to touch upon a specific aspect of the game series: the costumes! I love alternate costumes, even if I don’t use them very often, and even after three games in this series, there are more I want to see.
I’m a sucker for maintaining story accurate costumes in these games. No matter how well these alternate costumes are incorporated into the animation and gameplay, I’m still usually wearing Peter or Miles’s game canon costume for the story missions. I can’t help myself. But I’ve loved having the alternate costume option since all the way back to the Spider-Man Playstation 1 games. Spidey has so many costumes, it’s a hoot to have them available. And I definitely indulge when it comes to side quests or mini-games, or just swinging around the city in new duds.
So when we get some DLC or even Spider-Man 3 or Spider-Man: Miles Morales 2, these are the costumes I still want to see in this game series.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/28/23
Happy Halloween, everyone! We’re only a few days away from that glorious of all holidays! Too bad I didn’t read any spooky comics, and instead have some new issues of Captain America and Void Rivals.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Wonder Woman #2 for another strongly written, fairly badass comic book.
Meanwhile, I’m still working my way through Spider-Man 2, taking my time to enjoy as much of the game as I can and loving every minute of it. A lot has been spoiled for me because the internet is a terrible place, but I’ll survive and there will hopefully be a few surprises still to come.
Comic Reviews: Captain America #2, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #113, Void Rivals #5 and Wonder Woman #2.
Read the rest of this entry6 Comic Book Superheroes Taylor Swift Should Date
Taylor Swift is the most popular celebrity in the world right now and everyone is trying their damndest to capitalize on her popularity — especially when it comes to her dating relationship with Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce. Man oh man, the NFL is going all-in on Taylor/Travis hype, hoping to ride those coattails as far as they can.
So why shouldn’t I get a piece of that pie?
I don’t watch NFL games and I don’t have any interest in Taylor Swift’s music or celebrity, but I’ve got a blog to run here and I’ve got an SEO to chase! So how about a List of Six that involves Taylor Swift in some way? Like…who she’s dating…and…which superheroes she should date! BAM! I’m a marketing genius!
Though make no mistake, this list is not a criticism of Taylor Swift. I sat through The Eras Tour movie and her music isn’t for me, but I don’t have anything against her as a person. She seems really cool, actually. I’m totally in favor of her re-recording all her old music out of spite. That was cool as heck. This is just a silly comic book listicle I’m throwing together because I think it’s funny to chase this madness!
So join me after the jump for six comic book superheroes that Taylor Swift could/should date in the comics to give superhero comics more publicity!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/21/23
By the time you are reading this, I am hopefully hours-deep into the new Spider-Man 2 video game, and I’m loving the heck out of it! I’m also loving this week’s comics, which featured some of my absolute current favorite superhero comics coming out right now. What a fun week!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Superman #7, narrowly beating out new issues of Nightwing and Scarlet Witch. When weighed against one another, Superman #7 just contains more story oomph. The other comics were great s well!
Meanwhile, my Cyberpunk 2077 replay has been cut short thanks to Spider-Man 2. No big loss. I’ve got the saved games, so maybe I’ll play both at the same time? We’ll see. Spider-Man 2 is great so far. I love the familiar gameplay, I love this world, and I’m on a Playstation 5 now, so everything looks so damn good!
Comic Reviews: Nightwing #107, Scarlet Witch #9, Sensational She-Hulk #1 and Superman #7.

I’ve read the entire Invincible comic book series, and it’s all pretty great. So I have high hopes that the cartoon on Amazon is going to make it all the way through the series. Keep hopes high! I already have faith after they took the opening chapters and turned them into that excellent first season.
A full trailer for season 2 was released at New York Comic-Con this past weekend.
Looks great to me! I recognize some of the new characters, though not all. I recognized some of the moments, though not all. So it should still be something of a surprise for me. Looking forward to this one, for sure!
Invincible returns to Amazon Prime on Nov. 3.
