Strong Guy Watch: Let’s Tease X-Men ’97 Even More!
This weekend, we got another trailer for the upcoming second season of X-Men ’97. And it’s not so much a trailer as it is a who’s who of X-Characters who are going to appear this season! And we already knew this was happening, but how cool is it that both Strong Guy and Multiple Man get mentions?!
I can’t wait. The first season was one of the best TV shows of the past few years, and all the trailers for season 2 so far look amazing. It’s just so exciting that my favorite superhero, Multiple Man, gets to exist in an adaptation in the first place and not be a villain. And then he gets to exist in one of his greatest forms, the 1990s X-Factor form. That’s when I fell in love with the character, in large part due to that awesome trench coat costume! And then Strong Guy too!
The only shame is that we haven’t seen Iceman yet. You can’t imagine how cool it was for me as a kid to have both Iceman and Multiple Man in the same episode of the original series!
Season 2 of X-Men ’97 is coming to Disney+ on July 1.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/13/26
We’re here, we’re reading comics, it’s been an OK week of life. So OK that we’ve got a pretty OK pile of comics to have been read and now reviewed, like the brand new Absolute Catwoman and the brand new Avengers: Armageddon.
Comic Book of the Week goes to The Fury of Firestorm #3 for an exciting retelling of the character’s new origin story.
Meanwhile, still enjoying Crimson Desert and will be for a while. Don’t you worry about that. I went to the theater and finally saw The Mandalorian and Grogu and I enjoyed it. Just a fun Mando and Grogu adventure. And I finally stayed home and saw Mortal Kombat II. Wasn’t thrilled at first but it won me over in the end.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Catwoman #1, Avengers: Armageddon #1, Daredevil #3 and The Fury of Firestorm #3.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/6/26
Welcome back to comic book review land! Just little old me reading comics and cranking out reviews because it’s what I like to do. I like reading and talking about good comics, like Batman and Amazing Spider-Man.
Comic Book of the Week goes to The Deadman #1 for a solid, entertaining start to this potentially wild new series.
Meanwhile, I really enjoyed Spider-Noir. It was a nifty series that accomplished everything it set out to do, I would say! And I made it to the theater to see The Masters of the Universe this week and I had a blast! Very fun film. Still haven’t seen The Mandalorian and Grogu, so fingers crossed my plans work this weekend. Oh! I did see The Sheep Detectives and that was also fun. Good, quality little flick. Seeing lots of movies, it seems.
Comic Reviews: Amazing Spider-Man #30, Batman #10, The Deadman #1 and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #1.
Read the rest of this entryBehold, the Wolverine Video Game!
Yesterday, we got the biggest look to date of the upcoming Wolverine video game — for which I’ve secured an entire week off from work to play. Can’t wait! It was a Playstation State of Play exhibit and we got a long gameplay video/trailer. See for yourself.
I think it looks great! I think it looks very on-rails, but it’s going to be that type of video game. This isn’t an open sandbox game, like Crimson Desert. This seems more like The Last of Us with Wolverine. And I’m fine with that. A game is gonna be what it is. I like the level of violence. I like the visible healing, even if it means his suit ‘heals’ as well. That’s just something we need to set aside in our minds. I like the use of cameos. Saw Leech and a bunch of others. It all looks great to me!
Apparently in this new continuity, the X-Men don’t exist and instead we’ve got Team X, which includes Wolverine and Jean Grey. Interesting. I’m more than willing to see where they go with that story idea. I am totally fine with Insomniac creating their own universe continuity. It means familiar faces can show up in weird places! Of course, that might also again mean that my favorite mutant — Multiple Man — might end up being henchmen fodder…but I can probably live with that if it means Multiple Man gets to even appear.
Game looks good to me! Can’t wait to play! Wolverine comes to Playstation on Sept. 15.

It’s Not Gonna Get More Epic than This Trailer for Season 2 of X-Men ’97
I loved the first season of X-Men ’97! Holy cow that was an amazing show! And we got word this week that they’re already working on season four, so we should have plenty to love for a long time. But first, we gotta dive into season two, which looks suitably epic.
Jeez louise, people! What an epic trailer! The music, the grandeur, the glimpses of X-Men and mutants and characters and time periods of just so much everything else! So much to love! So much to get exited about!
We already know the season will feature more Multiple Man and Strong Guy, so that makes me personally happy. But we haven’t seen hide nor hair of Iceman. That’s a bummer. Anyway, can’t wait to see what happens!
X-Men ’97 will return to Disney+ on July 1.
