6 Thoughts on Fantastic Four: First Steps (Review)
At long last, the new and fourth attempt at a Fantastic Four movie has arrived at our theaters, this time by the actual Marvel Studios. Did you know that I have never seen Fan4stic? It was apparently bad and I’ve never had enough curiosity to watch it. And I knew Marvel would get the rights back eventually.
Movie Rating: 9/10 – Great
Personally, I would have been fine had Marvel found a way to fit the Fantastic Four into the existing Marvel Cinematic Universe. I had my own idea once on how to make it work. But screw all of that because this retro, multiverse idea worked flawlessly! I loved the vibe, I loved the world, I loved the characters, I loved the movie!
Join me after the jump for my full thoughts on Fantastic Four: First Steps. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the film. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.

We knew the new Eyes of Wakanda cartoon was coming…but did we know that the entire 4-episode series will come out this Friday?! That’s soon! I can’t wait to watch this weekend!
Especially since we’re going to get an Iron Fist in this show! Wowzers! That’s pretty fun. I think Eyes of Wakanda is going to be about the history of Wakanda’s secret spies, traveling the world to collect Vibranium. I think it might also involve traveling dimensions? I don’t like that part. Just show us historic Wakanda in the main timeline. But I guess we’ll see what actually happens this weekend.
Eyes of Wakanda comes to Disney+ on Friday, Aug. 1!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 7/19/25
As expected, this busy week has come to an end and we can all relax and enjoy some comics. Except that I didn’t enjoy a lot of this week’s comics! For possibly the first time in a long time, there are some real stinkers in my review column!
But not Comic Book of the Week Absolute Batman #10, for some truly excellent, Batman-themed horror.
Meanwhile, I continue to slowly make my way through Death Stranding 2. I’m very much enjoying the game. Or maybe I just enjoy giving myself virtual busy work? Who’s to say. Other than that, I’m excited for Fantastic Four: First Steps this week, and do hope to get my Superman review up sooner rather than later.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #10, Absolute Flash #5, Exceptional X-Men #11, Imperial #2 and Wonder Woman #23.

Marvel has a new animated show coming out soon called Eyes of Wakanda, and we got our first teaser look last week with the end of Ironheart (which I enjoyed). And we only really get a glimpse of the animation style at this point, and that’s what looks pretty neat.
As always, I remain a staunch Marvel and MCU supporter, so I’ll definitely be giving Eyes of Wakanda a watch. I don’t think we saw any Black Panthers in that teaser, so I don’t really know what the show is actually going to be about. But a fun animated show is a fun animated show, and I’ve got nothing better to do than watch.
Eyes of Wakanda comes to Disney+ on Aug. 27.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 7/5/25
Happy Fifth of July! I was probably just going to enjoy my day off from work and laze about this weekend, but then we got a new Captain America #1, and I felt that would be a good read and review for this great American holiday.
Comic Book of the Week obviously goes to Captain America #1 for a story that really has me excited!
Meanwhile, I am spending most of my 3-day weekend just playing Death Stranding 2 because it’s exactly the game I hoped it would be! I am spending so much time just making deliveries, gathering materials and building roads and monorail tracks. Such fun! And I’ve finally gotten into Taskmaster, with the series 19 finale absolute perfection!
Comic Reviews: Captain America #1.
