My 6 Most Anticipated Pop Cultures of 2024
Happy New Year, everybody! Happy 2024! This year is going to be a good year for me. I’m losing weight. I’ve got some self-published comic book stuff coming up. My New Year’s Resolution is to finally master this banana bread recipe I’ve been dying to make, but kept putting off. And we’ve got…an acceptable amount of cool movies, TV shows and games coming up. Let’s talk about them.
Looking ahead, there isn’t much to be excited about in pop culture, to be honest. Not like last year, when we had a ton of great video games on the horizon, and a lot of movie potential. This year doesn’t have a whole lot. But I took a look around and have made a list anyway! There are some things I’m excited about and looking forward to, with my hopes up. So why not share?
Join me after the jump for six bits of pop culture I’m looking forward to in the new year. And feel free to share your own hopes and dreams for the year ahead in the comments below!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 12/30/23
Happy New Year, everyone! In a few short nights, it’ll be 2024, and we can all keep moving on with our lives. Thankfully, we’ve got some solid, enjoyable enough comics to end the current year with, like Power Rangers and She-Hulk.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Duke #1 for an exciting and fun start to the new G.I. Joe comics in the Energon Universe. No Snake Eyes yet, though. Hopefully they’re saving him for some thing good.
Meanwhile, I had a great Christmas with the family! Met the new baby. Got some great presents, some great comics to read. My brother’s housemate got me an air fryer! That should be fun. And it was a pleasure, as always, to see family. Good time was had by all. No plans for New Year’s Eve, though. Probably just video games and movies. Currently enjoying the second season of Marvel’s What If…?
Comic Reviews: Duke #1, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #115 and Sensational She-Hulk #3

The new season of Marvel’s What If…? cartoon starts today! It’s available on Disney+ as we speak! I really enjoyed the first season, and I have high hopes for this second season. Marvel is still good to me and I’m happy to watch. I’ll probably binge some of the episodes this weekend when I head out of town to visit family for Christmas.
Here’s a very brief trailer/ad that came out yesterday about today’s debut.
Yeah, that trailer heavily implies that What If…? will start “tomorrow”, but I assure you, that trailer came out yesterday. What If…? starts today! So go watch.
I’m most excited to see the new, 1980s era Avengers. I even bought the Goliath Marvel Legends action figure because I think it’s neat that he gets to exist in cartoon and toy form only. So we’ll see how that episode goes.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 12/16/23
By this time next week, I will be on the road for the family Christmas getaway! Should be a blast! But until then, we’ve got a few comics to read, though this was one of those very light weeks for me.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Outsiders #2 because it was marginally better than the only other comic I read this week. Also, this is a cool sea monster design.
Meanwhile, I finished off Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, which ended rather anticlimactically. I then splurged on Super Mario Wonder as my last video game purchase for a while (gotta save money). Haven’t played it yet, but I’m quite excited. I also watched Blue Eye Samurai on Netflix this past week and it was pretty amazing! So consider that a big recommendation.
Comic Reviews: Captain America #4 and Outsiders #2.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 12/9/23
Only a few more weeks until Christmas! That doesn’t particularly mean much in the grand scheme of things, but it definitely works to open up this comic review article. We’ve also got new issues of the likes of Batman and Transformers to enjoy.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Birds of Prey #4 for an action and character-focused issue that really kicks things up a notch.
Meanwhile, I’m almost done with Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, but mostly that game was all about building my own lightsaber. I think I should share my endgame creation! I’m also finally working my way through the fourth season of Harley Quinn. It’s not as strong a show as it was at the beginning, but it’s still enjoyable.
Comic Reviews: Batman #140, Birds of Prey #4, Fantastic Four #14, Thunderbolts #1, Transformers #3 and X-Men #29.
