Hawkeye Fan Film is So On Target
I gladly maintain that the Hawkeye series by Matt Fraction and David Aja is the comic book of the decade. It’s groundbreaking in its portrayal of ‘people first, superheroes second’. So why not celebrate with this awesome fan film based on the comic?
The fine folks at One Riot One Ranger Productions really name the look, feel and comedic elements of Hawkeye. I raise my bow and arrow to them!

Batlexander Manilton is More Proof That the Internet is Amazing
The musical Hamilton continues to invade pop culture with song parodies, and they’re so good that I really want to see this musical somehow. But considering I can’t afford Broadway, that’s not about to happen anytime soon. Still, here’s Batlexander Manilton!
We have the geniuses at Turtle Cameron to thank for today’s opening musical.
And speaking of Batman, I’m going to try and get my review of Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice posted this afternoon!

A New Comic Book Cartoon Youtube Show Enters Our Lives
Behold the work of Noah Sterling, a comics fan who has taken to animation and Youtube to explain complex and awesome comic book stories in simple form! He’s funny and the work is quality. Here’s his take on Civil War.
Unfortunately, according to his Youtube channel, his videos have been taken down — so watch that one while you can. Sterling explains in a short bit that he works for Marvel, but the videos were his own little project. The popularity of his Civil War video outed his project to Marvel, and they asked him to take down the unlicensed work. Makes sense. But he says he’s going to do some other comics, so we’ll see where things go. Still, fun video.

Spock Rock
I’m still trying to wrap my head around the idea that there’s a super popular Broadway play about Alexander Hamilton. Considering I’ve never seen a Broadway play, it makes sense that Hamilton snuck up on me. Fortunately, some kind and awesome soul has already parodied the play with Star Trek.
Hats off to you, Jackson Lanzing. You are doing the Internet proud.

Just Add the Song, and the New Ghostbusters Trailer is Even Better
We all enjoyed the official trailer for the new Ghosbusters movie, which I posted this morning. But Youtuber Bevan Bell recut the trailer and added a little something special.
If that new trailer doesn’t get you pumping for the new movie, nothing will. That’s quality nostalgia and film editing, I tell you what.
