Every new trailer and commercial reveals something new and amazing about this movie. And I still don’t think we’ve even scratched the surface! Can’t wait. Can. Not. Wait.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 3/28/15
I’m happy to report my busy week has come to an end! I was covering a murder trial in my day job as a mild-mannered newspaper reporter, and the guy ended up being found guilty. He had it coming, trust me. But all that day job stuff cut into my blogging and comic book reading, so unfortunately it’s going to be a somewhat light week. It helps that Marvel Comics didn’t really put out anything too crazy this week.
Though Marvel did put out Uncanny X-Men #32, which wins Comic Book of the Week for finally kicking off Cyclops’ final journey!
And does it vive?
DC Comics filled up the rest of my week, with new issues of Batman Eternal, Batman and Robin and Gotham Academy. It seems I really read a lot of Bat-books. That’s largely unintentional, they’re just the best that DC has to offer. That’s not a bad thing, right?
Oh, and you can check out my review of Darth Vader #3 over at Word of the Nerd. Good times in Dark Lord of the Sithing!
Comic Reviews: Batman Eternal #51, Batman and Robin #40, Gotham Academy #6 and Uncanny X-Men #32.
Deadpool’s Movie Costume Looks Unreal
The official Deadpool movie costume was revealed today by actor Ryan Reynolds, and am I the only one who thinks it looks like a highly detailed CGI rendering? This thing looks unreal!
Isn’t he supposed to be naked on a rug like that?
But if it is real, then kudos on everybody for making the costume comic book accurate. Deadpool has a fun costume, and we all know how horribly Hollywood could have screwed it up. We remember. I like the look, and I like the humor behind it.
Thanks to Henchman Javier for the tip off about the costume!

The All-New, All-Different Avengers Kind of Puts the Kibosh on that Whole Reboot Idea
The first hints of a post-Secret Wars Marvel were revealed to the Internet yesterday with the team lineup of the All-New, All-Different Avengers. This is the first official look of what the Marvel Universe will be like in the Fall, when Marvel promised a big reboot! Or Marvel promised a big change and a lot of people assumed that meant a reboot. Me? I was never convinced, and this new cover image backs up my theories.
Take a look at it and tell me what you see.
Green hands? Brown ground?
I see Ms. Marvel, Lady Thor, Sam Alexander as Nova and Sam Wilson as Captain America; otherwise known as the exact same lineup of characters in a pre-Secret Wars world. So if Marvel were actually going to go through with a reboot, wouldn’t none of these characters exist?
Granted, the addition of Miles Morales means a whole heck of a lot. But that’s something to unpack on another day.
All I’m worried about today is the fact that, when Secret Wars is over, the Marvel Universe is going to be largely the same. It’ll have the same characters in most likely the same situations. Yes, some things will be different, some characters and status quos might be switched around, but the Marvel Universe isn’t going anywhere.
