Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 3/21/15
It was Ladies Week in comics this week, with at least five of my favorite female-friendly comics hitting the stands! I have been a huge proponent of the push for more female representation in comics, and I’ve pretty much loved everything I’ve read so far. Heck, I’m even making my own comic starring two female protagonists. So I couldn’t be more excited for a week that includes new issues of Princess Leia, Lumberjanes, Batgirl, Silk and the Unbeatable Squirrel Girl!
But only one of those issues can win Comic Book of the Week, and that honor goes to the latest issue of Batgirl, which features a pretty stellar climax to their first story arc.
Boom-Punching 101
Not that Silk and Squirrel Girl weren’t awesome too! As was the second issue of Princess Leia, which I reviewed over at Word of the Nerd this week, so check that out too!
Sadly, I didn’t get around to the Lumberjanes review. That comic is mid-story arc, so I’m waiting for a good jumping on point to get back into regular reviews. And I can’t wait for that to happen!
Comic Reviews: Batgirl #40, Batman Eternal #50, Divinity #2, Silk #2 and Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #3.
Even the Avengers TV Commercials Are Amazing!
Avengers: Age of Ultron is in TV commercial mode now, with only a month and a half before it hits theaters. And apparently one of those commercials is the most amazing TV movie commercial ever produced.
Jeez louise! That was amazing! The action, the banter, the character moments, the accent; that is brilliant stuff! And that’s just a commercial! Oh man, this movie. I can’t even. I can’t even all over the place!

Someone Discovered the Secret of Happiness
The secret is little kids doing the voices for the latest Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer.
Who knew it would be this easy? Apparently the folks at The Watercooler knew the secret, because they made the above video, and the world is a brighter, better place for it. I know my day is better.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – March 14, 2015
Rejoice, everybody! This was a darn great week for comics! It’s the sort of week that strains my wallet and makes me wish I didn’t have such expensive hobbies. But then I remember that at least I’m not a parasailer. I bet that stuff is really expensive.
Nope, I spend my money on stuff like Ms. Marvel, the Comic Book of the Week! And it feels so good to say that! I love this comic so much.
Swoon
But the rest of the week is pretty darn good too! We’ve got new Amazing Spider-Man, new Ant-Man and new Star Wars, and there were some great comics I read this week that I didn’t even get around to reviewing, like Captain Marvel, Silver Surfer and Thor! This was apparently my week!
I was planning to review Silver Surfer, but I have very specific expectations when it comes to Silver Surfer and Galactus, and Dan Slott went in the entirely opposite direction. It just wouldn’t have been fair for me to review that comic.
Comic Reviews: Amazing Spider-Man #16, Ant-Man #3, Batman Eternal #49, Howard the Duck #1, Ms. Marvel #13, Ninjak #1 and Star Wars #3.
The New Daredevil Trailer is Chillingly Good!
Somebody get me Netflix on the phone, I need to buy all the subscriptions! The second trailer for the upcoming Daredevil TV show has hit the web, and it is mind-blowingly cool!
Oh man, that was exciting! The characters, the physicality, the Kingpin, the MCU references, the blood, the music, the darkness, the dialogue; it all looks great! I am so pumped for this show. And I am so pumped for it to be amazing. I hope Daredevil really takes off for Marvel and Netflix. I hope people flocked to the show.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: this is a great time to be alive!
