Strong Guy Watch: Let’s Tease X-Men ’97 Even More!
This weekend, we got another trailer for the upcoming second season of X-Men ’97. And it’s not so much a trailer as it is a who’s who of X-Characters who are going to appear this season! And we already knew this was happening, but how cool is it that both Strong Guy and Multiple Man get mentions?!
I can’t wait. The first season was one of the best TV shows of the past few years, and all the trailers for season 2 so far look amazing. It’s just so exciting that my favorite superhero, Multiple Man, gets to exist in an adaptation in the first place and not be a villain. And then he gets to exist in one of his greatest forms, the 1990s X-Factor form. That’s when I fell in love with the character, in large part due to that awesome trench coat costume! And then Strong Guy too!
The only shame is that we haven’t seen Iceman yet. You can’t imagine how cool it was for me as a kid to have both Iceman and Multiple Man in the same episode of the original series!
Season 2 of X-Men ’97 is coming to Disney+ on July 1.

Behold, the Wolverine Video Game!
Yesterday, we got the biggest look to date of the upcoming Wolverine video game — for which I’ve secured an entire week off from work to play. Can’t wait! It was a Playstation State of Play exhibit and we got a long gameplay video/trailer. See for yourself.
I think it looks great! I think it looks very on-rails, but it’s going to be that type of video game. This isn’t an open sandbox game, like Crimson Desert. This seems more like The Last of Us with Wolverine. And I’m fine with that. A game is gonna be what it is. I like the level of violence. I like the visible healing, even if it means his suit ‘heals’ as well. That’s just something we need to set aside in our minds. I like the use of cameos. Saw Leech and a bunch of others. It all looks great to me!
Apparently in this new continuity, the X-Men don’t exist and instead we’ve got Team X, which includes Wolverine and Jean Grey. Interesting. I’m more than willing to see where they go with that story idea. I am totally fine with Insomniac creating their own universe continuity. It means familiar faces can show up in weird places! Of course, that might also again mean that my favorite mutant — Multiple Man — might end up being henchmen fodder…but I can probably live with that if it means Multiple Man gets to even appear.
Game looks good to me! Can’t wait to play! Wolverine comes to Playstation on Sept. 15.

It’s Not Gonna Get More Epic than This Trailer for Season 2 of X-Men ’97
I loved the first season of X-Men ’97! Holy cow that was an amazing show! And we got word this week that they’re already working on season four, so we should have plenty to love for a long time. But first, we gotta dive into season two, which looks suitably epic.
Jeez louise, people! What an epic trailer! The music, the grandeur, the glimpses of X-Men and mutants and characters and time periods of just so much everything else! So much to love! So much to get exited about!
We already know the season will feature more Multiple Man and Strong Guy, so that makes me personally happy. But we haven’t seen hide nor hair of Iceman. That’s a bummer. Anyway, can’t wait to see what happens!
X-Men ’97 will return to Disney+ on July 1.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 5/23/26
Happy Memorial Day Weekend to everybody in America! I’m traveling to visit family this weekend and it should be a good time. But before I left, I got in some good comic reading, like Wonder Woman, Spider-Man and even Wolverine!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Green Arrow #1 for another excellent launch of a new Absolute Comic!
Meanwhile, I’m still deep into Crimson Desert and how to extend that game through the whole summer! The dev team keeps coming out with weekly patches that add a whole bunch of free content, and now I’m a little afraid of beating the game and missing out on what they come up with next! So I’m in for the long haul. Beyond that, I highly recommend the TV shows Rooster and The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins; both really fun shows! Haven’t seen The Mandalorian and Grogu yet because I’m getting together with some old pals to check it out next weekend. Should be fun.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Green Arrow #1, Amazing Spider-Man #29, Wonder Woman #33, Batwoman #3 and Wolverine: Weapons of Armageddon #4.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 3/21/26
Well well well, what have we here? Another batch of comics to review and another bunch of random people from the internet to read them? How delightful. Especially when we’ve got stuff like Wonder Woman and X-Men!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Batwoman #1 for a solid start to a new era at DC Comics. I’m looking forward to a lot of these creator-driven comics.
Meanwhile, not much going on in my life. I’m taking a break from video games for a while, though I’m keeping my eye on Crimson Desert. I just watched and enjoyed the second season of Ted and I’m gonna go see Project: Hail Mary at the movie theater this weekend. So I’ve got that going for me, which is nice.
Comic Reviews: Batwoman #1, Wonder Woman #31, X-Men #27, Captain America #8 and Cyclops #2.
