Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/15/16
I need to stop convincing myself that I’m in good enough shape to go to Comic-Con. Maybe once upon a time I could handle it, but oh boy, last weekend in New York was misery! I had a lot of fun hanging out with my friends, but I was so winded and worn out that I didn’t actually see anything at Comic-Con. The most I can say is that I made it into the building and found a couple of nice chairs.
A two-hour line to get in will do that to you…
Anyway, the experience has not soured me on comics in general, and we’ve got some nice ones this week. Great Lakes Avengers and Mosaic kick off at Marvel, and I’ve decided to try Superwoman again. But the Comic of the Week goes to the final issue of Darth Vader for being its usual badass self!
None can stand in his wa
On the chopping block is the new Supergirl series. After two issues, I just don’t think it’s for me and I won’t be reviewing it going forward. I’m sure Supergirl fans will be happy with it, but I find it kind of mundane.
Comic Reviews: Darth Vader #25, Great Lakes Avengers #1,Lumberjanes/Gotham Academy #5, Mosaic #1, Power Man & Iron Fist #9 and Superwoman #3.
Rebellions Are Built on Hope!
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story has always been in our future, though without any of the excitement of The Force Awakens. But at least the people involved with the movie can make a damn good trailer!
I think this might be my most favorite trailer yet for Rogue One! It reveals a lot of story, boosts some real emotions and better defines out main character. Looks like we could have a winner! And I’m even more excited now about the possibilities of a new Expanded Universe.

Star Wars: Rogue One Trailer Delivers Both Stars and Wars
It’s a real shame that ‘Star’ and ‘War’ don’t rhyme. But rather than dwell on the unfairness of life, let’s enjoy a new trailer for Rogue One!
Looks pretty snazzy! Characters are coming together, the jokes are landing. Here’s hoping this mission gets pulled off without a hitch! If we’re gonna get more of these films until the heat death of the universe, I’d like to know that the’re gonna be good.

Here’s Some Star Wars Stuff to Enjoy
Did you hear they’re making another Star Wars?
So the big Star Wars Celebration event went down in England over the weekend, with all manner of cool news from the new season of Rebels and the upcoming film, Rogue One. Obviously, I didn’t attend, but the Internet is always on the up and up about this sort of thing. We can enjoy the fruits of Celebration without having to actually go!
For example, here’s the new trailer for Star Wars: Rebels season 3! It’s a fine show. Nothing spectacular. Though I did enjoy the season 2 finale.
And while they haven’t released the new trailer for Rogue One just yet, here’s a nifty behind the scenes semi-trailer they put out.
Looks like a quality adventure! Here’s hoping Star Wars continues to be awesome and enjoyable in the years ahead.

6 Pop Culture Characters I Love For No Particular Reason
I think this blog is testament to the fact that I am a pop culture aficionado. I love movies, TV shows, books, comics, video games and all manner of storytelling and fiction. I hope to be a fiction writer myself some day, and am even working on my own comic book. And like all good people of this Earth, I have my favorite characters in my favorite media.
But sometimes, those favorites don’t make much sense.
Go, Green Ranger, go go!
Leonardo is my favorite Ninja Turtle because of his noble spirit and badass katana blades. The Green Ranger is my favorite Power Ranger because he was this cool, rebellious sixth Ranger. Multiple Man is my favorite superhero because I like his sense of humor, and because he was one of the characters who helped usher young Sean into a better understanding of superhero comics. I love Robin the Boy Wonder because I’ve always considered myself more of a sidekick than a leader, especially when compared to some of my more alpha male friends back in my youth.
But there are some characters out there whom I love passionately, but have no legitimate reason why. Join me after the jump to find out who!
