Squirrel Girl Has Been Cast!
Attention, attention, all ye geeks everywhere! Marvel has cast Squirrel Girl for their extended Cinematic Universe! She’s gonna appear on a New Warriors TV show on Freeform, but let’s not hold that against her!
Squirrel Girl will be played by actor Milana Vayntrub. I have no idea who that is.
Vayntrub has starred in a ton of stuff, according to IMDB. Most recently, she was in This Is Us, which I haven’t seen. But I bet I’ve seen her on College Humor!
So bully on her. Squirrel Girl is awesome and I hope the show can do her justice.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, all the other roles have been cast as well. There’s Derek Theler as Mister Immortal, Jeremy Tardy as Night Thrasher, Callum Worthy as Speedball, Matthew Moy as Microbe and Kate Comer as Debrii. Good on them!
The show will last 10 episodes and is about a bunch of young people coping with young people life and super-powers. Here’s hoping it’s a good show!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 7/8/17
Oh man oh man! Spider-Man: Homecoming! I’m writing this opening paragraph before seeing Spider-Man: Homecoming and I don’t have time to update it with my thoughts on the film. I’m hoping I liked the movie! And I hope you henchies like it too!
Kind of a light week on comics this week, but it’s giving me time to catch up on some titles where I fell behind. So check out new reviews for Iron Fist and Unstoppable Wasp! The latter of which wins Comic Book of the Week for a really nice issue focusing on the original Wasp, Janet Van Dyne!
Wasp vs. Whirlwind! Classic!
I think this is the most I’ve ever cared about Janet Van Dyne. Not to say she’s not a great character, she’s just never been one of my beloved characters. But this issue does a great job with her and Nadia!
Comic Reviews: Batman #26, Harley Quinn #23, Hawkeye #8, Iron Fist #5 and Unstoppable Wasp #7.
Honestly, I Loved the Amazing Spider-Man Movies
I know everybody hates them quite a bit, but I loved both Amazing Spider-Man movies. I loved the energy, I loved Andrew Garfield, I liked the villains, I loved Gwen Stacy, and I never liked Tobey Maguire as either Spider-Man or Peter Parker.
Fortunately, we all get to go see Spider-Man: Homecoming this weekend! I’m very excited. But hey, Honest Trailers is always reliable for comedy.

My 6 Favorite Spider-Man Costumes
It’s Spider-Man movie week! Spider-Man: Homecoming is finally here, and all early reviews peg this thing as amazing! Spectacular, even! I’ll be seeing the film with my usual chaps this weekend and can’t wait. To eat up some of the week and revel in some Spidey goodness, how about a List of my favorite Spider-Man costumes?
T-minus 2 days until movie!
I’ve already done lists of my favorite Spidey villains and my hopes for future Spidey movies. But what about costumes? Spider-Man might just be the superhero with the most alternate costumes out there. His original look is just so damn iconic, so perfect, that people can’t help but try out their own designs. It’s great fun, and here’s my rundown of my favorites!
And feel free to share your favorite Spider-Man costumes in the comments below!
Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 7/1/17
Happy Fourth of July weekend, everybody! We’ve got a bunch of good comics this week, and I’ve got a day off from work on Tuesday, so I’m in all manner of good spirits. We’ve got some quality Spider-Man and Batman comics this week, which is always a hoot. And Comic Book of the Week goes to another stellar Infamous Iron Man. I’m just loving that comic!
Most I’ve liked Ben Grimm in years!
I skipped a double dose of Young Jean Grey this week. Her solo series was just a team-up with Prince Namor, who I don’t care for. And X-Men Blue was pretty interesting, but I swear to God, if Cullen Bunn brought Jimmy Hudson into that book just to revive the Cyclops/Jean Grey/Wolverine love triangle then I am done with that comic. Full stop.
Comic Reviews: Amazing Spider-Man #29, Batgirl #12, Defenders #2, Detective Comics #959, and Infamous Iron Man #9.
