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!

I’m only just now seeing the pointy chin to represent his classic goatee

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.

Good to have Batwoman back

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.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 3/14/26

Can you believe we got to go another week with new comics coming out? How exciting! Especially since it’s stuff like Power Rangers Prime and the new X-Men United.

Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Batman, which is earning it’s once-a-generation, industry-defining status.

“I need an adult!”

Meanwhile, the second volume of The Museum of the Uncanny anthology from Very Big Comics is coming to Kickstarter soon! The landing page is already up, so click the “Notify Me” button to help build some pre-launch attention. I had a short story in the first volume, but nothing in this one, but I will always support my comic-making buds and I hope you do too! Check it out!

Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #18, Power Rangers Prime #15 and X-Men United #1.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 3/7/26

What a week, what a week! I was off from work this week and mostly spent my time lounging around not doing much of anything. Good times. I got caught up on a couple of comic series that I’d abandoned a while ago. So that was nice. And we’ve got review for those comics, like Absolute Flash and X-Men.

Comic Book of the Week goes to Batman #7 for doing something new and potentially interesting with the Joker.

He’s got an eyeball thing going

Meanwhile, I hurt my thumb somehow so I couldn’t play anything video games with a thumb stick this week. Instead, I built some LEGO and started watching the final seasons of My Hero Academia. Let’s hope the show ends well. I also watched Strip Law on Netflix and it was good. I like watching these random adult animated shows on Netflix, and this one was particularly weird and wacky in all the ways I like.

Comic Reviews: Absolute Flash #12, Absolute Superman #17, Batman #7 and X-Men #26.
