We Have a Supergirl Trailer!
The first trailer for the Supergirl movie came out today and it looks pretty excellent! I had to watch it on my phone since I’m at work, but I think I got the jist. Great song choice. Great character introduction. Really sets her apart from Superman.
The movie will be based on the Woman of Tomorrow mini-series by Tom King, which is phenomenal! There are some references to the comic in the trailer, like the inclusion of Krypto and Ruthye, but the trailer is a very different vibe from the tone of the comic. I trust DC to pull this off expertly. And I hope we get a lot of the pathos from the comic in the movie. It’s a good one.
Supergirl comes to theaters on June 26.

Superman and Spider-Man Are Gonna Team Up, Too!
Remember the Batman and Deadpool crossover comics this past autumn? They were great! And as many people surmised, they were only the beginning! Superman and Spider-Man were suspiciously missing from the various crossover stories, and that’s because Marvel and DC are giving those fancy heroes their own crossover issues next March and April. We got our first look at the first issue this week.
There are a whole bunch more covers to look at if you’d like! I’m not a cover collector.
The main story will be written by Mark Waid, with artwork by Jorge Jimenez. Then there will be a bunch more smaller crossovers in this first issue.
- Lois Lane and Mary Jane Watson by Tom King and Jim Lee.
- Jimmy Olsen and Carnage by Matt Fraction and Steve Lieber.
- Power Girl and Punisher by Gail Simone and Belen Ortega.
- Pa Kent and Uncle Ben by Jeff Lemire and Rafa Sandoval.
- Spider-Man 2099 and the Legion of Super-heroes by Sean Murphy.
- Superboy Prime and Black Suit Spider-Man by Christopher Priest and Daniel Sampere.
- The Daily Planet and The Daily Bugle by Greg Rucka and Nicola Scott.
Hot damn those sound awesome! As a newspaper man myself, I love the idea of Greg Rucka writing a short story about the journalistic backgrounds of both Clark Kent and Peter Parker. That should be fun! And I’m very confident that Fraction and Lieber can pull off a really crazy crossover between Carnage and Jimmy Olsen.
So yeah! Loved the first two crossover issues, can’t wait to see more. And I really do hope all of this leads to a new Amalgam event in the very near future!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 11/8/25
I don’t know what’s been up with me lately! This is the least I’ve posted in years! There just aren’t any good trailers to share I guess. Oh well. There will always be new comics to read and review! Like Batman and Void Rivals!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Cheetah & Cheshire Rob the Justice League #4 because it remains a consistently great comic!
Meanwhile, I continue to pace my way through Ghost of Yotei. Super fun game. Getting everything I want out of it. Grand Theft Auto 6 has been delayed for an entire year, so that sucks. And I’ve started playing Dispatch, which is super fun! All around good time! By the time you read this, I’ll also have been to the theater to watch Predator: Badlands. Hopefully that’s good too!
Double meanwhile, the Kickstarter is still ongoing for LobStar #1 from Very Big Comics! It’s made by my amateur comic-making pals and could definitely use some love! They’ve already hit the goal and will definitely be making the comic, and now any additional backers will help fund more of the ongoing story! So check it out, if you don’t mind.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Superman #13, Batman #3, Cheetah & Cheshire Rob the Justice League #4, Void Rivals #24, Amazing Spider-Man #15 and DC K.O. Knightfight #1.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/4/25
What’s happening, party people? Got a fun stack of all DC comics this week, because they’re really putting out the bangers nowadays. So I hope you enjoy Batman and Absolute Superman!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Evil #1 for some truly legitimate surprises!
Meanwhile, I’ve barely scratched the surface of Silksong and I’m also contemplating just dropping it for Ghost of Yotei! I’m only human! But I also finally just got Mortal Kombat 1, so maybe I’ll play that to pass the time.
Also, if you live in Central New York, I’ll be going to my first comic-con since the pandemic at Uticon in Utica, NY! I’ll be selling both volumes of Gamer Girl & Vixen! So if you want a copy, now is the perfect time to come out and buy my book!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Evil #1, Absolute Superman #12, Batman #2 and Cheetah & Cheshire Rob the Justice League #3.
