There’s Gonna Be More Jessica Jones!
Jessica Jones probably stands as the best — so far — of all the Marvel Netflix shows. That’s pretty cool! It’s a great show, a great character, with a great actor at the head. So enjoy this teaser for the second season!
One hopes we get a bigger, better trailer soon. And here’s hoping that they don’t blow this new season like they’ve kind of been doing for all the other Netflix shows. I want it to be really good! Can’t we have really great Marvel Netflix TV?!

Holy Cow! The Animated Spider-Man Movie Looks Amazing!
I never had much faith in Sony’s announced animated Spider-Man movie. I just wasn’t sure why it exists. Aren’t the Spider-Man: Homecoming movies going to be enough?
Nope! Holy cow, the first trailer for the animated Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse looks freakin’ amazing! The animation is gorgeous!
Now I’m really excited for this movie! They can do Spider-Man stunts and movements that a live action movie just can’t match. Bring it on! And hooray for Miles Morales!

6 Things I Want to See in a Multiple Man Movie
I can’t believe this is happening, but it looks like FOX wants to make a Multiple Man movie starring James Franco! It’s unbelievable! Multiple Man is my all-time favorite comic book character. I thought I was beyond lucky to even get a cameo in X-Men: The Last Stand. But a full-on starring role in his own movie? With a star like Franco? Pinch me, I must be geeky dreaming!
Disney better not ruin this by buying Fox Studios
I was first introduced to Jamie Madrox: The Multiple Man in the early 1990s when he had a solid role in writer Peter David’s X-Factor revival. He had a cool costume, including trench coat, cool powers and, most importantly, a sense of humor that I really connected with. He was part prankster and part dryly sarcastic, which was right up my alley. Then when David relaunched Madrox in 2004 as a private eye, he was even better! The character had a true Golden Age for several glorious comic book loving years. He’s the perfect choice for a solo X-Men movie and I am very, very excited about the possibility of this Multiple Man movie getting made.
Join me after the jump for some ideas and suggestions for the Multiple Man movie!
Strong Guy is Gonna Be a New Mutant!
For reasons that boggle my mind, the title ‘New Mutants’ remains a frequent flyer in the X-Men franchise. It’s a weird name, right? Even when it was first used, to introduce a new, younger team of X-Men, it was still weird. Like, the X-Men knew a lot of other mutants by the time the New Mutants were introduced. Those kids weren’t even the first team of new mutants to join the X-Men.
But whatever. The title keeps getting used for new X-Men comics, and the next one is gonna feature Strong Guy!
I’m telling you all of this because I’m still engaged in the Strong Guy Watch. I’m pretty sure the rule of having Strong Guy randomly appear in the background of X-Men stories has passed, but I loved the character, so I’m calling him out!
The mini-series will be written by Matthew Rosenberg, with art by Adam Gorham. It’s also going to reunite Strong Guy with Wolfsbane, two parts of my favorite comic book friendship trio. I hope Rosenberg does something fun with that.
Yay Strong Guy! Though I’m disappointed that he lost the beard.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 12/2/17
Bad news, everybody! Or, well, good news for me! I’ll be on vacation this upcoming week, making my first trip to Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida! Should be a blast! But I’ll be gone all week and won’t have time to pick up or read any comic books. So for only the second time since I started doing these weekly reviews, I’m gonna have to skip a week. Sorry!
And this week is such an odd one, since it’s a Fifth Wednesday and there aren’t many comics out — at least not many comics that I’m reading. A nice Batman Annual from Tom King easily wins Comic Book of the Week, but it’s only competition (at least on my read pile) was a Darkhawk one-shot. I had a lot of hopes for that single issue, but King’s Batman can’t be beat.
True love
Not much else in comic book news on my end. No Big Events this week. But boy howdy, how about that Avengers: Infinity War trailer? More of that, please!
