Arrow ’66, Just a Little Something Fun
Everybody like Tuesdays? I’m pretty OK with them. They’re not Fridays and they’re definitely not Saturdays. But we can have a little bit of fun this Tuesday.
Big thanks to Dave Jones for making this little diddy. It’s Arrow and The Flash done in the style of the classic Batman ’66 TV show! I loved that thing as a kid. The Internet is full of such charm, and I’ll share it when I can!

Wonder Twins LEGOs, You Guys!
A new mini-trailer for The LEGO Batman Movie came out this weekend, and while it’s great, it also features something truly special: Wonder Twins LEGOs! Keep your eyes peeled at 1:24 in the video for the specialness.
That’s just plain fun.
The trailer is good too. This movie is going to be all manner of amazing. Cannot wait. Maybe the most anticipated movie of 2017? Yeah, maybe.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 12/10/16
Everybody having a good holiday season? I’m almost done with my Christmas shopping, have my fingers crossed that a few of my online shopping orders arrive before the holiday, and am dealing with a ton of snow on the home front. But at least the latest changes to Pokemon GO have added a bunch of Charmanders in the downtown area for some reason…
Anyway, I’m just rambling because I can’t think of what else to talk about. We got some middling to OK comics out this week, like Champions. Harley Quinn has its first issue after last issue’s mind-blower, but it doesn’t live up to the excitement — still good, though.
I’m gonna give Comic Book of the Week to Nightwing #10. I’m a little hesitant, as you’ll see why, but I like the potential it puts forth. Plus, there’s a new gorilla character!
More sentient gorillas!
The latest issue of Clone Conspiracy was also out this week, and aside from a pretty overblown Big Twist, there still isn’t much to write home about. It’s like Dan Slott has this story he wants to tell, but he’s struggling to find ways to include conflict. It almost seems like more of a talking heads story, but there’s no way they can just do that for a Spider-Man Event. Better resurrect a bunch of random, old school Spidey villains!
Comic Reviews: Champions #3, Harley Quinn #9, Nightwing #10 and Unworthy Thor #2.
Suicide Squad was Honestly Disappointing
Suicide Squad finally gets the Honest Trailers treatment, which is always a hoot.
Someday we’ll probably get tired of making fun of this movie. But it is not this day! Someday DC and Warner Bros. will make a great and universally beloved film. But it is not this day! This day, we mock!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 11/26/16
Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews might never be the same after this week. I didn’t see it coming, but I’ve been buzzing on this since new comics dropped on Wednesday. Sure we got some solid comics this week, like Detective Comics and Teen Titans, but this is the week where everything changes.
Harley Quinn #8 wins Comic Book of the Week for probably the single best issue of the entire run so far. And not just because it’s so damn fun. This is next level stuff. This is so good, I’m going to do something I’ve never done in my several years worth of comic reviews.
Maybe I’ll be setting a precedent that I can in no way sustain, but I don’t care. This is Comic Book of the Year material.
Rated M for Mature
But no, not just because of the tasteful nudity. Read below for my essay of a review!
Also, the latest issue of Civil War II was released this week, and the Big Event continues to underwhelm. Not to mention the fact that most other Marvel comics have simply moved on already. And it doesn’t even come close to the magic that is Harley Quinn.
Comic Reviews: Batgirl #5, Detective Comics #945, Harley Quinn #8, Prowler #2 and Teen Titans #2.
