Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/31/15
Happy Halloween! I hope all you ghosts, ghouls and superheroes have a lot of fun today! Halloween is my favorite holiday because of the insanely awesome pageantry involved. It’s just so much fun! Too bad we didn’t get any spooky comics this week…at least not in my regular pile. I should start reading Wytches maybe.
Word of note, before we begin: there won’t be any reviews next Saturday! Yours truly is going on vacation to London next week, and I won’t get any comics! I’ll still try to get some videos up, and a couple Lists of Six, but we’re skipping comic reviews next week. It’s for the best.
Fortunately, this week was pretty darn good. Batgirl #45 wins Comic Book of the Week for a lovely wedding issue.
Let’s make the magic happen!
Always good to see more diverse weddings and love stories in comics! We’ve come a long way since Northstar got married.
Comic Reviews: Angela: Queen of Hel #1, Batgirl #45, Batman and Robin Eternal #4, Chewbacca #2, Grayson #13, Sam Wilson: Captain America #2 and Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #1.
Star Wars Trailer Supercuts!
The Internet being what it is, several industrial geeks out there have spliced together all of the Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailers into two big, awesome super trailers!
Seriously, two different people did this.
First is the one by James Darling of Science vs. Cinema.
And then we have a super trailer by Shaun Cauthen of ScreenSlam.
Big props to all the geeks involved. This movie looks pretty neat! And it’s coming out in December! That’s, like, right around the corner!

Star Wars Had Their Thing!
Didn’t I tell you they were going to have a thing? They promised, and they delivered! And that thing was a new trailer!
First impressions, I’m not as blown away as everybody else. It looks great, it looks very slick, but there’s just something missing…We didn’t get any Luke Skywalker stuff. The end of the trailer didn’t have any particularly strong buzzes. But maybe I just really want to see the movie now, and any tease is just going to leave me wanting more! It happens.

Star Wars Is Gonna Have a Thing Tonight!
The new Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer is going to premiere tonight during a football game! I won’t be watching the game — as per last week’s List of Six — but you can be darn sure I’ll be scouring the Internet afterwards for the trailer! I’ll probably post it tomorrow morning after I sleep off the effects of watching the trailer.
While we wait, Star Wars was kind enough to reveal a badass new poster for The Force Awakens!
Oh man, now that’s a poster! Han! Leia! Rey, Finn and Po! Lightsabers! A new super Death Star!
Then Star Wars as kind enough to release the same poster horizontally, for some reason!
They’ve got all the bases covered for tonight’s trailer premiere!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/17/15
Another week, another new batch of All-New, All-Different Marvel comics! I’d love to read and review every single one, but I’m a busy man, especially this week. Did you hear about that murder at the church in upstate New York? That’s right in my backyard, and as the local newspaper reporter, I’m all over that stuff!
Fortunately, I still found time to read some new comics! And it was another good week! I scoped out the first issues of Chewbacca and New Avengers, and enjoyed a few of my favorites from DC Comics, like Starfire and Harley Quinn. But the clear standout and winner of Comic Book of the Week is Ms. Marvel #19.
Was there really any doubt?
It’s the end of the world, and they know it
I can’t wait for this series to come back from hiatus!
Comic Reviews: Batman #45, Batman and Robin Eternal #2, Chewbacca #1, Harley Quinn #21, Ms. Marvel #19, New Avengers #1 and Starfire #5.
