Let’s Just Keep Talking About Spider-Man!
I’m definitely loving the Spider-Man video game on Playstation 4! It’s just plain great! So great, that I fear I’ve almost beaten it! This game was supposed to sustain me for a couple weeks! Why does it have to be so much fun and yet so quick?
Either way, our friends at Tell It Animated jumped on that sweet Spider-Man search engine glory and did up a video of his movie costumes!
Those are some talented animators at Tell It Animated! Somebody get them an Emmy! Or however that works…I’ve got more video games to play.

It’s Finally Time to Play Spider-Man!
The wait is over! The day is here! The Spider-Man video game comes out for the Playstation 4 and everybody is crowing about it on the internet! High praise all around! Looks like it’s going to be a ton of fun! Thank the stars I splurged on that PS4 after all!
I’m gonna head out soon to pick up the game, but I’m no streamer, so I won’t be posting any footage on this blog here. So how about I rely on footage from other people? Like this cool launch trailer from Marvel and SONY.
Or hey, how about this long video detailing the technical and graphical achievements of the game, courtesy of digitalfoundry?
Yeah, these videos should cover everything while I spend the day playing video games.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/25/18
It’s Kelly Thompson Week! This lady is on fire at Marvel right now, and we get two of her books this week, Mr. & Mrs. X and West Coast Avengers! That’s pretty darn awesome! We’ve also got more Superman and Spider-Man comics, but who cares about them?
Comic Book of the Week goes to the first issue of Thompson’s new West Coast Avengers for a really fun team book that doesn’t waste any time — though I had more than a few nitpicky problems.
Land sharks, and the two Hawkeyes arguing about oceanography, is pure Thompson style!
Fair warning, everybody, I was apparently in fine form writing these reviews this week. Nothing particularly stood out as all that great, while I found so much to nitpick to death, including in some of my favorite comics!
Comic Reviews: Action Comics #1001, Amazing Spider-Man #4, Mr. & Mrs. X #2, The Silencer #8 and West Coast Avengers #1.
The Upcoming Spider-Man Video Game Still Looks Pretty Neat
Unfortunately for me, the new Spider-Man video game is going to come out on the last couple days of my week-long vacation. If it had come out a week earlier, I would have spent the entire week playing video games! Instead, I’ll just have to take my time and cram it all into a single weekend.
Either way, it’s looking pretty cool! Here’s some new trailers:
Just gotta wait a couple more weeks, people! Currently I’m trying to decide whether to start God of War and get that out of the way, or hold off and play God of War afterwards to give it time to breathe. We’ll see!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/11/18
Have you heard the good news? Kelly Thompson is going to be a major creative player in the X-Men! That’s darn good news! Let’s celebrate by reading Spider-Man, Catwoman, Superman and Domino comics!
Comic Book of the Week goes to the first issue of the newly relaunched Fantastic Four! I’ve never been much of a Fantastic Four fan, but Dan Slott has been on fire since coming off Amazing Spider-Man!
Pun intended
Meanwhile, I skipped reviewing Unbeatable Squirrel Girl for the second time in a row because it continues off the trial issue, with which I had several problems. The new issue is all about Squirrel Girl deciding that Kraven the Hunter should be completely absolved of all crimes because she thinks he’s a good person who is dedicated to bettering himself. Forget all previous criminal incidents, and ignore the perfectly legal trial by jury that just took place, if Squirrel Girl thinks you’re a good person, you should totally get off scot free.
Really bad call by the normally level-headed Squirrel Girl.
Comic Reviews: Amazing Spider-Man #3, Catwoman #2, Domino #5, Fantastic Four #1 and Superman #2.
