Why Are Costume Websites Our Leading Source of Superhero Infographics?
It boggles the mind! All the costume websites seem to produce superhero infographics that often don’t have anything to do with costumes (but sometimes they do!). Are there no other people in the world making these graphics? Do these costume websites, which are about selling Halloween costumes, have people on staff just to make these infographics? How much money do they make?!
This time around, MorphSuits.com has made a list of Marvel characters who deserve their own movie! I agree with about half this list. I was never interested in Adam Warlock, and I have an odd hang-up about bringing She-Hulk into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I made a list like this myself once, way back at the start of my blog in 2011. Maybe I should update it to fit Marvel’s current plans going forward…

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/24/15
Apparently Marvel Comics is quite keen on us enjoying their new Iron Man and Spider-Man comics, because the second issues are already here! And they’re both still pretty great! Marvel also delivers the return of Ant-Man this week, and drops a Karnak bomb in our laps! Writer Warren Ellis has got to be sitting on a pretty awesome throne these days. The guy is like one of those mafia ‘fixers’ who can just come in and kick ass no matter what assignment he gets.
Not that DC are slouching! Batman and Robin Eternal remains pretty solid and entertaining so far, and the latest issue of Gotham Academy is a ton of fun.
But Comic Book of the Week has to go to Amazing Spider-Man #2 for one of the funniest Spidey comics I’ve read in awhile!
‘Some guy’? C’mon!
Dan Slott is on a role! Also, the Prowler is pretty amazing in this issue too.
Comic Reviews: Amazing Spider-Man #2, Astonishing Ant-Man #1, Batman and Robin Eternal #3, Gotham Academy #11, Invincible Iron Man #2, Karnak #1 and Titans Hunt #1.
The First Full Jessica Jones Trailer is Mega Scary
It’s possible we may never be able to see David Tennant the same way again. Make sure you have his best episodes of Doctor Who handy when you watch Jessica Jones in order to decompress! This trailer is scary as all get out, and Krysten Ritter looks perfect in the lead role!
Oh man, that is hauntingly good. Spooky, painful, dark; and we thought Daredevil was good. Jessica Jones is gonna be crazy good! Can’t wait for this show to arrive on Netflix on Nov. 20!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/17/15
Another week, another new batch of All-New, All-Different Marvel comics! I’d love to read and review every single one, but I’m a busy man, especially this week. Did you hear about that murder at the church in upstate New York? That’s right in my backyard, and as the local newspaper reporter, I’m all over that stuff!
Fortunately, I still found time to read some new comics! And it was another good week! I scoped out the first issues of Chewbacca and New Avengers, and enjoyed a few of my favorites from DC Comics, like Starfire and Harley Quinn. But the clear standout and winner of Comic Book of the Week is Ms. Marvel #19.
Was there really any doubt?
It’s the end of the world, and they know it
I can’t wait for this series to come back from hiatus!
Comic Reviews: Batman #45, Batman and Robin Eternal #2, Chewbacca #1, Harley Quinn #21, Ms. Marvel #19, New Avengers #1 and Starfire #5.
I’ll Believe’em When I See’em
Yesterday’s comic news cornucopia was abuzz with announcements of a Godzilla vs. Kong movie, a Y: The Last Man TV show and two official X-Men shows about Legion and the Hellfire Club. The news was everywhere.
But here’s the thing: I’ll believe’em when I see’em.
And this is one I really want to see!
All of these announcements could be true…or they could just be the same type of announcement we always get. Where’s the Booster Gold TV show that was announced? Where are the Lobo and Metal Men and Justice League Dark movies that were announced? Where’s the Y: The Last Man movie that was announced?
The only project I actually believe will happen is Godzilla vs. Kong, but even then, I’m skeptical. These announcements happen all the time and few of them ever come to pass. So by all means, they can announce whatever they want. But let’s see them put their money where their announcements are!
Also, seriously, Legion and the Hellfire Club?! FOX has access to the entire X-Men library and they chose the two dumbest things to make shows out of? Where’s my X-Factor detective show, dammit?!
