Daredevil Season Teased Like There’s Just No Tomorrow!
Did you hear they’re going to make another season of Daredevil? That’s what they do with hit TV shows! A little mini-trailer arrived at New York Comic-Con this past weekend! Check out the first teases of Elektra and the Punisher.
Good times. Good times. They also aired the first episode of Jessica Jones at Comic-Con, and word has it the show is awesome. So all around, things sound pretty awesome!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/10/15
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay! The long national nightmare of Secret Wars is over, and the All-New, All-Different Marvel is upon us! Though, that isn’t exactly accurate. Secret Wars is not yet over, and will actually continue all the way into December. And it’s not a nightmare, I’m actually enjoying it. But the All-New, All-Different Marvel is definitely here in force this week! No longer do we have to rely on tie-ins or Star Wars comics to get our Marvel fix! We’ve got brand new first issues of Amazing Spider-Man, Invincible Iron Man and Doctor Strange, who, I guess, doesn’t deserve an adjective.
Comic Book of the Week goes to the first issue of the new Amazing Spider-Man, which only barely inches past the new Invincible Iron Man. Possibly because it includes the greatest cameo by the Prowler in a decade! Among other goodies.
It gets really good, people
Though this week isn’t all wine and roses. DC has launched their sequel to the henchly-reviled Batman Eternal! And like a pig to the slaughter, I picked that up too…
Comic Reviews: Action Comics #45, Amazing Spider-Man #1, Batman and Robin Eternal #1, Doctor Strange #1 and Invincible Iron Man #1.
How Ant-Man Should Have Ended!
Let’s keep this Ant-Man train rolling with everyone’s favorite: How It Should Have Ended!
This one was legit funny, and had a pretty solid nitpick about that tank. But once again, it relies a bit too much on the Batman/Superman cafe scene. I realize that the HISHE team loves those little scenes, but man, I’m gonna keep dinging them for it. I want to see them make fun of movies! Not revel in their Batman/Superman running gags. Is that too much to ask?!

The Ant-Man Sequel Will Co-Star the Wasp!
New York Comic-Con is this weekend, and the news has started swirling! First up is the announcement of the Ant-Man sequel, which will arrive on July 6, 2018. The bigger news is that the movie will be called Ant-Man and the Wasp! Evangeline Lilly will get to don her badass costume and help headline a movie! Hopefully this means she’ll also be included in the toyline, right Marvel?
The costumes will probably be better
I’m definitely excited about this. I loved the first Ant-Man, and knowing that a sequel is coming is big news – though I’m probably more excited to see him guest star alongside the other Avengers in next year’s Captain America: Civil War.
The sad news is that the Ant-Man sequel will have some major shake-ups for future Marvel movies. Captain Marvel is getting bumped from November 2018 to March 2019. That’s very disappointing news! I’d rather have that one come first. But also bad is that Black Panther is getting moved ahead to February 2018! Everybody knows that February is a deadzone for new movies! Why would Marvel ever release a movie in February?
Though I have noticed that more studios seem to be putting bigger movies in the January/February zone. The third Kung-Fu Panda is going to come out in that winter period. Surely that’s not expected to bomb, right? Are studios trying to reclaim the winter months?!

Power Man and Iron Fist to Get New Comic in the New Year!
Just in time for their respective Netflix shows (or maybe a little early, actually), the Power Man and Iron Fist comic will relaunch next year. Luke Cage and Danny Rand will once again take to the streets as butt kickers, courtesy of writer David F. Walker and artist Sanford Greene. Fast Company got the scoop from Marvel.
Maybe we can hire them
Both writer and artist are black, and both jumped at the chance to work on Power Man and Iron Fist, according to the article. This is a great step forward for diversity behind the scenes in the comic book industry, something I whole-heartedly support. The article has a few more bits of artwork to show off. Greene has a pretty wild style, it seems, but that might be a good thing. There’s not much to say yet about the focus of the series, but it looks like they’ll be taking things back to basics. Sounds good to me!
