Check Out TV’s Ghost Rider!
As we heard some time ago, Ghost Rider is coming to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.! Makes sense. That show could use a shot in the arm, and a real comic superhero could definitely provide! Plus, I don’t think Ghost Rider would fit into the Netflix shows. And it would be a real stretch to find room for him in the movies. Plus, I’m pretty sure society holds up the Nicholas Cage Ghost Rider movies as godlike, amiright? Something like that…
Anyway, here is our first look at Gabriel Luna as the Robbie Reyes Ghost Rider!
Let’s just assume the flame skulls will be added later
Looks cool as far as I’m concerned. I approve of Agents‘ choice of the Robbie Reyes version. Johnny Blaze and the rest are cool, but Robbie Reyes can be cool, too. He’s got a lot of good story to work with, even if his comic didn’t exactly pan out. I think a lot can be done with him.
I just hope Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn’t make him an Inhuman. That would be terrible.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 9/3/16
I’m on vacation again! I love me a good work vacation. I get a whole week to just hang out and relax. Read some comics. Watch some movies. I’ve got a whole list of stuff to do this week. Hopefully I get around to at least half of it and I don’t just spend the week playing video games. That could happen.
But until then, how about this week’s comics? We’ve got some good ones, like Kim & Kim and Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers. We’ve also got a comic that breaks my little heart. Stupid Amazing Spider-Man #17!
Fortunately, writer Dan Slott almost redeems himself with a stellar Silver Surfer #200 anniversary issue! He wins Comic Book of the Week, but the guy is damn good at toying with my emotions.
I’ve read that comic, it’s really good
Saga also returned this week, but I’ve decided to stop reviewing that comic. Saga is an amazing story, and part of me thinks it’s meant to be read issue-by-issue, but I just don’t think I can be fair to the series that way. Some issues might be duller than others, but that does not bring down Saga as a whole. It’s a tough decision, but the only decision that matters is that you should be reading Saga.
Comic Reviews: Amazing Spider-Man #17, Astonishing Ant-Man #11, Kim & Kim #2, Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers #6, Ms. Marvel #10 and Silver Surfer #200.
What Thor Did On His Civil War Vacation
I’ve been waiting for this comedy short to be posted since we first heard about it at San Diego Comic-Con! The director of Thor: Ragnarok has produced a little short about what Thor is up to during the events of Captain America: Civil War. Why didn’t he get involved? Why didn’t Tony or Steve give him a call? Watch and find out!
Hilarious. Definitely lived up to the hype. If this is the sort of quality and potential comedy we can expect in Ragnarok, I’m even more excited than ever! And I love that Marvel is open to doing things like this. It just enlivens the whole experience. Plus, they might as well use the actors for everything they can while the contracts still hold.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/27/16
Another great week of comics is upon us! But this one is tinged with a bit of sadness and fear. We’ve got amazing comics like Batgirl and Patsy Walker, but the new issue of Detective Comics has me shaking in my henchman-issued boots. Can DC Comics really go through with the unthinkable? Dare they do this to me and all of the fans out there?
I guess we’ll find out next month.
For now, let us all join hands and celebrate the brilliance that is Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #11. Writer Ryan North takes us to class in more ways than one, producing one of the most ingenious comic books of the year so far! Instant masterpiece, instant Comic Book of the Week. Here’s a quick lesson in how to count to 31 on one hand!
You are all now a little bit smarter
I know so much more about dactylonomy than I ever did before! It’ll make more sense once you read the issue.
Comic Reviews: Batgirl #2, Captain America – Steve Rogers #4, Detective Comics #939, Patsy Walker a.k.a. Hellcat #9 and Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #11.
Captain America: Civil War Was a Great Time
The Captain America: Civil War DVD will be out in a week or two — just in time for my birthday! And as usual, we’ve got a fun look at the gag reel. I love that stuff.
I need to rock out on a movie set someday. It looks like a lot of fun.
