Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 4/23/16
Welcome to another thrilling installment of Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews! We’ve got a plate of wonderful comics today, including some of my current favorites, like Astonishing Ant-Man. Some of my review columns have been a little light over the past month, and if you’ve been wondering why, it’s because I’m nearing the end of a Kickstarter campaign for my own comic, Gamer Girl & Vixen!
This week is the final week of the campaign. We’re so close to hitting our goal that I can taste it! But the nerves have kind of dulled me to every other awesome thing in the world right now. So if you’d like to order a copy of my own comic, head on over and pick one up. Every little bit counts at this point!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Power Man and Iron Fist #3, which continues to be a wonderfully entertaining comic. Hopefully my own comic book work can be this good someday.
Not every problem can be solved with mystical kung fu
Comic Reviews: Astonishing Ant-Man #7, Captain Marvel #4, Power Man and Iron Fist #3, and Totally Awesome Hulk #5.
6 Things I Want to See in the Black Panther Movie
Captain America: Civil War is only a few weeks away, and every single time I see a new ad or clip, I get more and more excited. The reviews are through the roof. All signs are pointing to this being another amazing blockbuster. And we’ve specifically heard that not only does Spider-Man steal the show, but Black Panther’s debut is as awesome as we could hope!
The hype is for real
Unfortunately, we’re going to have to wait until 2018 to see Black Panther’s solo movie. That’s way too long to wait to debut this character, but what do I know? Marvel isn’t paying me multi-millions of dollars to plan these things out. You’d think that a Black Panther movie would be a better follow-up to Civil War than Doctor Strange. But again, what do I know?
I know what I want to see in a Black Panther movie, that’s what! Join me after the jump for my hopes and fears about the film.
Artist Kate Beaton Preempts the Cloak and Dagger TV Show
When you’re an Internet writer like me, you’ve got to be able to find pictures to go along with your stories to make the article more interesting to look at. So when a Cloak and Dagger TV show as announced last week, everyone on the Internet suddenly had to find some pictures of Cloak and Dagger to make their article pop. This revealed a rather startling fact to artist and genius Kate Beaton.
Behold, Kate Beaton’s mighty takedown of Cloak and Dagger. Slightly NSFW.
Hopefully the fine folks at Freeform are paying attention. It shouldn’t be too hard to head this off at the pass.
By the way, I’m aware of the irony of writing about finding pictures for an article and then not actually doing it, so don’t bother pointing that out.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 4/16/16
Anybody else doing everything they can to avoid reading too many reviews for Captain America: Civil War? I can’t believe they’re out so early! They’re all so good that I just want to absorb as much as I can! But at the same time, I don’t want to spoil anything in the movie. It’s bad enough I’ve watched a few of the clips. Aargh! Why isn’t it May yet?
Until then, why not enough some comics? New issues of Amazing Spider-Man and Starfire grace our presence this week, as well as the launch of the Harley Quinn spin-off staring her Gang A’Harleys!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Silver Surfer #3. It’s been awhile since we saw an issue of this amazing series, but the wait was worth it!
Damn right you do!
And as always, don’t forget to check out my Kickstarter for the full Gamer Girl & Vixen graphic novel! We’re at the halfway point this weekend, so now’s the time to really gear up and hit the goal by the end!
Comic Reviews: Amazing Spider-Man #10, Harley Quinn and Her Gang of Harleys #1, Silver Surfer #3 and Starfire #11.
First Doctor Strange Trailer is a Weird One
The first trailer for Doctor Strange arrived on our Internet last night, and it gets pretty trippy.
I think I like it. The trailer doesn’t dampen my interest in the movie at all, but it might be a little too trippy for my tastes. We’ll see! The important thing is that this is going to be a great year for movies.
What did you henchies think? Let me know in the comments!
