The Live Action, Comic Accurate Wolverine Movie Costume is Real
Yesterday, we got our first real, official look at the Wolverine costume Hugh Jackman will be wearing in Deadpool 3. Production has wrapped on the movie, and it’s due out in the somewhat near future. And lordy me, this costume is gorgeous.
For the first time in the live action movies, the first time with Hugh Jackman in the role, Wolverine will finally be wearing a comics-accurate costume. It’s yellow and blue, it’s got all the right bells and whistles. This thing is phenomenal! Can’t wait to see it in action. Live action, that is!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 7/8/23
Not much in the way of comics this week. In fact, there’s gonna be a bit of a comic review drought this whole month, I think. DC is starting some new event that I’m not interested in, and a look at the upcoming release calendar just doesn’t have a lot of my comics on it. Maybe I’ll try some new things. We’ll see.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Fantastic Four #9 for its fun use of Alicia Masters as the fifth Beatle.
Meanwhile, I think I’m nearing the end of Tears of the Kingdom, but I’m stretching it out as much as possible. I’m probably far from the end of Diablo 4, but we’ll see. It’s a good game, though probably not my cup of tea in the long run.
Comic Reviews: Fantastic Four #9 and X-Men #24.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 7/1/23
Small week for comics this week, being the end of the month. It’s also been just one heck of a week for me. Ugh. I do not need to be paying this much to fix my car every couple of months…Anyway, we’ve got Green Arrow, for one thing.
Comic Book of the Week goes to She-Hulk #14 because this series has finally hit a groove I enjoy, after the first storyline left me in the dust.
Meanwhile, everything else continues to shamble along. Still immersed in both Tears of the Kingdom and Diablo 4. Enjoying Secret Invasion. Didn’t care for the new Indiana Jones. Just kind of chugging along and trying not to go broke.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/24/23
Oh what a week, what a week. Can it really be possible that some of my current favorite comics are all coming out in the same week?! Do we really have new issues of Power Rangers and Superman in the same week?! I must be in comic book heaven.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Nightwing #105 for an artistic achievement that should be praised for all time. Kudos to Bruno Redondo and the entire creative team for this masterpiece!
Meanwhile, I’ve taken a slight break from Tears of the Kingdom to play some Diablo 4! I’ve been playing the Diablo games since the very beginning, though I’ve never engaged in the postgame stuff. I just play the story and try out different classes. It’s fun. I also saw the first episode of Secret Invasion but wasn’t all that impressed. The pacing and tension felt off. Hopefully I’ll like it more as it goes along.
Also, in terms of comics, I’ve decided to stop reviewing Saga because I don’t think I should be giving my thoughts on each individual issue in isolation. I enjoyed the Scarlet Witch annual, but I tend not to review annuals for no particular reason. And the first issue of Ultimate Invasion was solid, though we’ll see if this revival is worth a damn in due time.
Comic Reviews: Avengers #2, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #109, Nightwing #105, Superman #5 and Titans #2.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/17/23
Fun week in comics for me this week. We’ve got a pair of new issues, and that’s always a hoot. But we’ve also got the second issue of Green Lantern. So it’s one of those weeks.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Void Rivals #1 for a pretty much perfectly structured and told first issue, which sufficiently teases whatever this new Energon Universe is going to be.
Meanwhile, I’ve taken a pause from Tears of the Kingdom to try out Diablo 4 with some friends of mine, and it’s been a fine choice. I love the Diablo games and this one is just as fun as the others. I also watched and enjoyed The Flash movie, so come back on Wednesday for my review/thoughts.
Comic Reviews: Black Panther #1, Green Lantern #2 and Void Rivals #1.
