Hal Jordan Goes Sinestro Corps in New Injustice Story Trailer
Injustice: Gods Among Us is hitting us with all sorts of trailers recently, even though none of them reveal Robin to be in the game. However, this new trailer gives us a peek at the story and confirmation that Hawkgirl will probably be a character, and that Green Lantern is going to get his hands on a yellow ring at some point.
That actually looks pretty damn cool. DC superheroes in a police state, Batman a fugitive in a world where Superman and Wonder Woman rule with an iron fist. I’m starting to think that the story is going to be far better than the mediocre Mortal Kombat-lite fighting game.
Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 1/26/13
What a week, what a week, what a week. Good thing there’s always comics to keep us entertained and excited. And another busy week brings us several different Avengers and X-Men comics – including the second X-Force title – as well as the penultimate chapters of the Third Army story in Green Lantern. Is it living up to all the previous Green Lantern sagas? No…not yet. But it’s still fun! As is the new Young Avengers series, and the latest issue of FF, but then we always knew that series was going to be fun.
Seriously, people, there are a ton of new comics this week. But the coveted Comic Book of the Week has to go to Wolverine and the X-Men #24. It’s cute, it’s fun and it reminds me why I loved this series so much in the beginning.
Comic Reviews: Avengers #3, Batwoman #16, FF #3, Green Lantern #16, Green Lantern: New Guardians #16, Justice League #16, Nightwing #16, Red Hood and the Outlaws #16, Uncanny Avengers #3, Uncanny X-Force #1, Wolverine and the X-Men #24, Wonder Woman #16, Young Avengers #1.
New Injustice Video Game Trailer; Still No Robin
Hey guys, it’s going to be a slightly slow week. I had a death in the family and went out to attend the services, so everything’s a little backed up. I’m gonna try to get the Hench-Sized Reviews done on time Saturday, but they may be pushed back until Sunday. Until then, enjoy this fun little trailer for Injustice: Gods Among Us. They reveal Lex Luthor as a playable character, but still no Robin. The bastards.
Also, certain nerd movie sources are claiming that the Justice League movie will feature a cast of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and the Flash, with possible cameos by Aquaman and Martian Manhunter. That’s almost exactly what I predicted. So go me!
Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 1/19/13
This is a great week for loving comic books. So many good and diverse books were released, from the horrific evil in Batman to the giddy happiness of Captain Marvel. Not to mention the return of Stilt-Man. That alone makes this a week to be remembered. This is one of the best and busiest weeks in comics I’ve seen in awhile. Mark Waid has two knockout successes with Indestructible Hulk and Daredevil. Batman’s Death of the Family story continues to rumble along, both for good and for ill, and DC tries to shove Threshold down our throats. It’s just as bad as I thought it might be. Ugh. But at least books like All-New X-Men remain top notch.
The winner of Comic Book of the Week is going to be Batman and Robin #16, giving us one of the best Death of the Family chapters yet. Though that’s not to say Daredevil #22 doesn’t give us one of the greatest lines ever spoken by man.
Comic Reviews: All-New X-Men #6, Batman #16, Batman and Robin #16, Captain Marvel #9, Daredevil #22, Indestructible Hulk #3, New Avengers #2, Savage Wolverine #1 and Threshold #1.
LEGO Superman is Best Superman
Whenever I watch one of these, I get the feeling that I played with my LEGOs entirely wrong as a kid.
I could have been a LEGO animation artist! That could have been my life! Then I would get all the chicks. Tell me right now, female readers of Henchman-4-Hire, that you would not love a man who knows how to use his LEGOs.
