Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 2/13/16
Happy Love Day, one and all! Oh no, wait, that’s that other holiday. This is Valentine’s Day weekend! This is when we should be feeling the looooove! But alas, none of the comics I read this week had a Valentines bent. Odd, considering we had new issues of Starfire, Totally Awesome Hulk and All-New Wolverine, all of which would totally make good romance comics!
Well…maybe not all of them. Still, solid, enjoyable week for comic books.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Ms. Marvel, which finally proved to me why Kamala Khan should be an Avenger!
This is sort of like ‘Avengers Assemble’
I didn’t say it was for good reasons…
Comic Reviews: All-New, All-Different Avengers #5, All-New Wolverine #5, Batman #49, Ms. Marvel #4, Silk #4, Starfire #9 and Totally Awesome Hulk #3.
Surprise! There’s a New Batman vs. Superman Trailer!
Like the sudden arrival of a bird or a plane, here comes a full-fledged new trailer for Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. It opens with a pretty spectacular showcase of what our new Batman is going to be like!
This one doesn’t seem to give away any of the story, but hot damn, there’s a lot of action and excitement! Will it live up to the action and excitement of Watchmen? Or give in to the overly CGI’d action of Man of Steel? I have no idea, but we’re now only a month or so away from this movie coming out!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 2/6/16
This might be the weirdest comic review article of my long blogging career. I don’t want to spoil anything, but the latest issue of Batgirl really hits home for me in a lot of weird ways. Especially when you consider it features a villain who can read and alter minds…but you’ll have to read on to find out what I mean!
Beyond the new Batgirl, this was a solid, enjoyable week of comics. We got new Iron Man and Captain Marvel comics, as well as Miles Morales’ debut in the regular Marvel Universe! I was against this idea from the beginning, but the execution isn’t half bad.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Doctor Strange #5. Writer Jason Aaron is hitting it out of the park with this opening storyline! I hope the Doctor Strange movie is even half this cool.
Atlantean Black Magic!
I’m sure Benedict Cumberbatch can pull this off.
Comic Reviews: Batgirl #48, Captain Marvel #2, Deadpool & The Mercs for Money #1, Doctor Strange #5, Invincible Iron Man #6 and Spider-Man #1.
It’s Happening! Flash and Supergirl Will Crossover!
Announced today by all parties involved, The Flash TV show will crossover in March with the Supergirl TV show, even though they’re on different networks. Fortunately, they’re both executive produced by the same guys, Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg, and they somehow made this happen! Seeing as how the Arrow/Flash crossovers have been ratings bonanzas, the people at CBS were apparently willing to play ball.
This is great news!
Courtesy of that one, single time their comic books crossed over
Who knows what this will mean for continuity, but who the heck cares? We can iron out those details later! All that matters is that nerd love and general world awesomeness made this happen, and we’ll get to see more crossovers! I love these things. All the Arrow/Flash crossovers have been great. And there’s going to be legit excitement to see Supergirl meet the Flash. It’s that palpable, geeky energy that made The Avengers movie so much fun.
See, universe? We can have nice things.
Though now I’m going to have to go back and catch up on Supergirl…

Tobuscus Returns With a Suicide Squad Vengeance!
Are you ready to rock?! I can’t hear you! Are you ready to rock?! Tobuscus is back with another Literal Trailer, and it blows everybody else to kingdom come!
These Literal Trailers are some of my favorite Youtube bits, even though Tobuscus doesn’t post them very often. He’s more than made up for the wait with this new one. Holy wowzers, that’s one rocking, awesome remix of Bohemian Rhapsody. Somebody get this guy some Internet Bucks!
Oh, and Suicide Squad still looks cool.
