Merry Christmas From One of My Favorites!
Merry Christmas, everybody! And Happy Holidays to those who don’t celebrate! I’m off with my family for the next few days, so there won’t be as many posts, and my Hench-Sized Reviews won’t be nearly as long as usual. But I’m grateful that artist Mike Maihack is always there to provide some Christmas cheer!
Thanks, Mike! Your comics are always a treat!

Let Them Fight
A couple Internet geniuses put together this rather awesome fake trailer for a Marvel vs. DC movie! It’s making the rounds on the Internet today, and I thought I’d share.
Quality work by Alex Luthor. There’s some great editing, and matching various scenes together. It all works pretty spectacularly.
DC wishes they could make movies the Marvel way though.

Little Girls Love Star Wars Too
The Internet is home to all manner of adorableness.
Posted by Adam Buxton, I’m pretty sure his 5-year-old daughter just won the Internet this weekend.

If HBO Rebooted the Powerpuff Girls
Beware some salty language!
Good old Animation Domination, always good for a lark on a lazy Sunday morning. Big thanks, as always, to Henchwoman Alyssa for tipping me off to this funny little video. Good times!
I’m Making a Comic – Gamer Girl & Vixen
Today is a momentous day, dear readers! It’s time to share with you something I’ve been working on for the past several months, something I’m rather proud of and excited about! Something to finally make me put my money where my mouth is!
I’m making my own comic book!
For three years, I’ve slaved away on this geeky comic book blog, talking about comics, reviewing comics, poking fun at comics; well now it’s time to throw my hat in the ring. I’ve teamed up with my friend and fellow writer Kristi McDowell to publish our own independent comic book.
We’re calling it Gamer Girl & Vixen!
The cover of the dazzling first issue!
Now, I know what you’re thinking. It looks like we’re just going to pump out another superhero comic in a world over-stuffed with superhero comics, professional, independent or otherwise. But I’d like to think you guys and gals know me better than that. And I hope you remember my #1 rule about writing comics: people first, superheroes second.
Gamer Girl & Vixen is a supervillain lesbian love story. My friends and I are not just churning out another boring superhero book. We want to be different. We want to be unique. Gamer Girl & Vixen is a mature love story for modern audiences, where two potential lovers realize they can only be themselves in the capes and costumes world of heroes and villains.
With some trouble along the way, of course!
Gamer Girl & Vixen is a fun, exciting and hopefully adorable comic that will touch upon issues of acceptance, friendship, love, shenanigans, and the complexity of relationships. It’s also going to feature some awesome superhero action and more than a little felony burglary.
This is a project that is very near and dear to my heart. I’ve always wanted to write comic books, and now I’m finally getting off my butt and making my own. Maybe publishers will notice it and maybe they won’t. All I know for sure is that it’s been a lot of fun so far, and I’m bursting with joy to finally share this with you.
Please join me after the jump if you’d like to find out more!
