Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 7/15/23
I’m afraid I don’t have much to review this weekend, everybody! It was a very hectic week for me for various reasons, so I didn’t have much time to read a lot of comics. And most of the stuff that came out wasn’t on my list anyway. I’m not interested in DC’s nightmare event, and I wasn’t going to waste time with that Ms. Marvel funeral issue since they’ve already announced her return.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Scarlet Witch #6 because this is still a fun comic, even if it’s the only one I read this week.
Meanwhile, I’m getting nearer and nearer the end of Tears of the Kingdom. I’d say getting two months out of a video game is pretty solid! Whereas Diablo 4 I can’t wait to finish, but I also can’t handle too much of that game in one sitting. Oh well. Beyond those two games, not much else going on to talk about nerdwise. Next week is Comic-Con, but I won’t be there, again.
Comic Reviews: Scarlet Witch #6.

My 6 Favorite Wolverine Costumes
Wolverine is as cool of a comic book character as they get. He’s all piss and vinegar, all claws and fighting. He was the stare of the entire X-Men movie franchise. And in his potential swan song — Deadpool 3 — we’re finally going to see actor Hugh Jackman suit up in a classic, comic book Wolverine costume. No more black leather, no more movie-ending teases; Jackman is suiting up and looking good.
So with Wolverine’s costume on my mind, I’ve decided to put together a list of my favorite Wolverine costumes from over the decades. I’ve done similar lists for Spider-Man and Batman. And Wolverine has had more than a few costumes to choose from over the years. From simple costume changes to alternate realities to various cartoons, Wolverine has a lot of costumes.
So join me after the jump for my favorites! And feel free to share your own favorite Wolverine costumes in the comments below.

Yesterday, we got our first real, official look at the Wolverine costume Hugh Jackman will be wearing in Deadpool 3. Production has wrapped on the movie, and it’s due out in the somewhat near future. And lordy me, this costume is gorgeous.
For the first time in the live action movies, the first time with Hugh Jackman in the role, Wolverine will finally be wearing a comics-accurate costume. It’s yellow and blue, it’s got all the right bells and whistles. This thing is phenomenal! Can’t wait to see it in action. Live action, that is!

Killers of the Flower Moon Sure Looks Fancy
Director Martin Scorsese is once again unleashed on the freedom of streaming services with his new film, Killers of the Flower Moon. It’s gonna be a big, long, dramatic period piece about the Osage Nation, their oil wealth and the white bastards who came to steal it and kill for it. Should be cool.
I enjoyed his last big streaming movie, The Irishman, so I’m sure I’ll enjoy this one. I’m no film snob. I’m not about to rant and rave about Martin Scorsese (not like I would Wes Anderson, oh man!). But he makes good movies, has some great actors and I’m sure this one will be a wild, fancy ride.
Killers of the Flower Moon is coming to theaters in October, and eventually to AppleTV+.
