Let’s Take A Good Look at the Spider-Man 2 Video Game
Another Comic-Con trailer we got last week was a story trailer for the upcoming Spider-Man 2 video game. This is going to be one heck of a game and I’m very excited to dive in. The first game and the Miles Morales games were perfect, and I have no doubt that this game will be great too.
And it all looks great! The story looks like a classic Peter in the black suit story, with all sorts of added elements. And Venom looks great. We still don’t know if we’ll get to play as Venom, but surely that will be an option, right? Even if it’s only temporary? We’ll find out.
Also, that bear-dressed Kraven henchman has to be Grizzly, right? He’s clearly more than just a standard goon. He seems to me to be Kraven’s lieutenant. And if Kraven’s lieutenant is gonna wear a prominent bear costume…he damn well better be name-checked as Grizzly! Again, we’ll find out.
Spider-Man 2 comes to Playstation 5 — which I do now own! — on Oct. 20.

The Flash, Animated
The Flash movie is gonna be the biggest bomb of all time, so huzzah for that and good luck to Blue Beetle. But The Flash still happened, and there’s plenty of meat to work with for our pal at Tell It Animated! Enjoy his designs of the Flash’s red costume with yellow accents!
Another banger of an episode. Sometimes I wonder if he should better time these things with the actual film release…but I think The Flash came out on digital release recently? And perhaps he wanted to wait to recap the final scenes in The Flash. Either way, it’s an all-encompassing episode that shows off the Flash, as it is supposed to.
Now do Robin!

Comic-Con Cartoon Trailers Ahoy!
It’s the Sunday of San Diego Comic-Con, so it’s a good day to just dump all the great trailers we saw this weekend. Mostly it was trailers for some of my favorite cartoon shows, which are all coming back for new seasons soon. So rather than parse them out over the next week, let’s pile them on and talk about them!
First up is the trailer for season 4 of Harley Quinn. I love this show and can’t wait for more episodes!
Harley Quinn is a great show and they’ve shown no signs of slowing down as we get into more seasons. It’s maybe not as sharp as the first two seasons, which were made back-to-back, but it’s still hugely entertaining and super fun. This season we’ve been told we’ll get more focus on Poison Ivy, and watching them maintain their relationship while on different sides of the hero/villain conflict should be a hoot.
Harley Quinn season 4 comes to Max on July 27, so next week!
Next up is the first look at season two of Invincible! Love this show as well, can’t wait for new episodes!
I’ve read the entirety of the Invincible comic after buying the three big compendiums, so I’m ready to see this show go all the way. The first season was great stuff, and hopefully season 2 will continue that greatness. There’s a ton of material to work with, a ton of great moments and characters to play around with. Can’t wait to see how they do it!
Invincible season 2 comes to Amazon Prime on Nov. 3.
Sticking with cartoons, how about the season 4 trailer for Star Trek: Lower Decks! Between the last season and this one, I’ve watched the entirety of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 1, so I’m big into Star Trek these days. I haven’t watched the crossover episode yet.
Lower Decks is a super fun show and I can’t wait to see what they do in season 4, especially with the new Vulcan character, T’Lyn joining the crew. Looks like super fun to me. All of these look like fun. All of these look like more of the same stuff that we know and love, and that’s exactly what I’d like to see with Lower Decks. They’ve been doing a great job so far, and they should nail it with a new season of hijinks and Star Trek coolness.
Star Trek: Lower Decks season 4 comes to Paramount+ on Sept. 7.
Alright, three is enough for me. These are my three most excited for shows from the trailers we got. I’ll probably share some of the other trailers later.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 7/22/23
The weekend is upon us! It’s Comic-Con weekend and so much great news is coming out. Fun trailers, new comic announcements; life is good when you’re gorging on Comic-Con news. And the comics were pretty fun this week as well.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Void Rivals #2 for a strong second issue to this new Energon Universe.
Meanwhile, I conquered Barbenheimer last night and it was a hoot! Both Barbie and Oppenheimer were phenomenal films, in their own right. Also, this might be the weekend I finally finish off The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. I’ve put this ending off long enough, and I’ve got Baldur’s Gate 3 I can transition to in a couple weeks.
Comic Reviews: Black Panther #2, Hawkgirl #1 and Void Rivals #2.
Read the rest of this entryThe Marvels Looks Super Fun!
Comic-Con has delivered a ton of fun trailers so far, and the first one I’m going to post is the new trailer for The Marvels, the next big MCU movie. This is the sequel to Captain Marvel, and it teams her up with Monica Rambeau from Wandavision and Kamala Khan from Ms. Marvel. That’s a lot of TV show connection, but considering I have seen all of these movies and shows, I’m excited.
I think this trailer looks super fun. The energy is good, the color palette looks really nice, and the characters are definitely the strongest part. Iman Vellani is gonna kill it as Kamala on the big screen. To say nothing of Teyonah Parris and Brie Larson, who also look great in this trailer. The whole thing looks fun and I’m definitely looking forward to this one.
The Marvels comes to theaters on Nov. 10.
