The Henchman-4-Hire One-Year Anniversary Extravaganza!
Today marks the very first day anniversary of this blog, Henchman-4-Hire, when my only entry was a post basically stating, ‘So I’ve started a blog’. Boy, what a long, strange trip it’s been, to quote every single high school yearbook ever. It hardly seems like a full year has passed. But as I grow into adulthood, I”m quickly learning that years really do fly by at an incredibly rapid pace. It’s already April, people! April!
So I don’t really have anything fancy planned to mark this occasion. I’d kind of hoped to start some of my big blog projects, but procrastination is still making a fool of those. I guess I’m just going to go with this simple post of back-patting congratulations!
It’s been an awesome year. I will definitely say that my blog has so far been the kind of success I’d hoped it would be. I’ve got a lot of fans, and I thank you all for coming back to check out my posts and read up on whatever my latest rant or review might be. It’s good to know I’m not just yapping into the wind or talking in a corner all by myself. We’re hardly doing Facebook numbers in terms of site views, but I know that if I just keep at it and write good posts then the people will come. Most of my favorite websites I discovered just by random Internet surfing. So I will just keep at it and hope that more and more people find me.
All that being said, does anybody have any suggestions or requests of my blog? Anything you’d like to see more of? Anything you’d like to see less of? I’d love some feedback.
I could always tell more jokes.
What’s a frog’s favorite drink?
Croaka-Cola.
I’ll be here all night folks!
For the Love of Nicktoons
As I’ve often said on this blog, the Internet is full of wondrous and exciting things. All those creative types out there with big ideas and great senses of humor used to have to hope they were discovered to be heard. Now there is Youtube. Like this group called Dr. Cool Sex, who have made live-action trailers for modern day takes on famous Nicktoons.
First: Hey Arnold!
And then Doug.
I mean, come on, these are just awesome. They must have been a blast to make.
I Want to Be a Super Best Friend Forever!
Even if they’re all girls.
Lauren Faust’s mini-cartoon continues to be the most adorable version of superheroes ever. The second short clip debuted this past weekend, and it’s a little widget about Batgirl rushing to join her best friends Supergirl and Wonder Girl to fight Poison Ivy! Watch it now! Also, it may feature the best animated Commissioner Gordon ever.
And you can rewatch the first clip right here.
The Top 6 Bunny-Themed Comic Book Characters
How is it that in the wide world of superheroes and super-powers, the two most popular characters are based on a spider and a bat? Of all the animals in the world, of all the possible themes and names for great superheroes, everybody loves ‘Spider-Man’ and ‘Batman’ the most? Where’s Lionman? Or Eagle-Man? Why not a Cheetahwoman? But I’m not here to debate the awesomeness of Batman or Spider-Man, I’m here to wonder whether or not there are any rabbit-themed supeheroes!
Want to learn more about this spectacular fellow? Read on!
Today is Easter, but rather than do something weird involving religious stuff, I wrote up a list focused on bunnies! Bunny superheroes (and villains) to be precise! It really is quite the eclectic group, though I couldn’t specifically find any Easter Bunny superheroes – unless you count Rise of the Guardians.
Which I don’t. Check out the list after the jump!
This Week, In Killing Comic Book Characters That I Really Like
Hey gang, remember that post I wrote a few weeks ago about two of my favorite symbiotes: Hybrid and Scream? And remember how I was basically writing that neither one has appeared in comic books in several years? Well good news, both Hybrid and Scream the female symbiote appeared in this week’s Venom #15!
AWWWWWW YEEEAAAAAHHH!!!
And then they were both promptly killed!
Awwwwww, no
Dammit comic books, why can’t I have nice things!
