More Adventure Time, Sort of!
Adventure Time was a great show, with a great ending and some great epilogues. And it’s coming back for another one! This time, the focus will be on Fiona & Cake, the gender-switched fan fic versions of normal heroes, Finn and Jake. They’re a neat idea, they’re fan favorites, and why not give them a cartoon?
It definitely looks like fun. Will it be canon? Will it fit into the timeline somehow? Are Finn and Jake really coming back?! How is it going to make sense? We’ll have to find out when Fiona & Cake comes to Max on Aug. 31!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/19/23
Welp, back to the daily grind. No more New York City. No more bruises from the trip. Just a week of nice, normal comics, like Hawkgirl and Uncanny Avengers.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Void Rivals #3 for another enjoyable little chapter in this space saga.
Meanwhile, still enjoying Baldur’s Gate 3. I’ve got a couple of games running and am very much enjoying myself with the game. I also really enjoyed the Blue Beetle movie and I’ll be disappointed if/when it bombs. We’ll see.
Comic Reviews: Hawkgirl #2, Uncanny Avengers #1 and Void Rivals #3.

I love the Scott Pilgrim vs. The World movie, and I’ve always been disappointed that it is not this grand, beloved hit film. That thing is great! The comics are good too, though I think they got a little lost in the weeds towards the end. So I’m almost fully on board with Netflix making a Scott Pilgrim cartoon/anime that seems to…just recreate the movie? Or maybe it’s gonna focus more on the comic? Or have some original stuff? I can’t really tell.
Whatever this thing is going to be, I’m sure it will be fun! Looks very hectic, very cool and the animation looks stellar. Bringing back the movie actors to be the voice cast in a choice and I hope it works out for them. I didn’t need the cast to come back. I’m sure voice actors need work too. But I’m on board to see how this whole thing goes.
Scott Pilgrim the anime comes to Netflix on Nov. 17.

6 Other Blue Beetles in Pop Culture
The Blue Beetle movie comes out this week and I’m moderately excited. The trailers look fun, and I have faith in the character and the actors. But DC has been bombing at the box office for years now, and the movie also looks very, very predictable. Will people turn out to watch it anyway? We’ll see!
For my part, I wanted to do a Blue Beetle-themed List of Six. But I’ve already done lists about bug-themed superheroes and about specifically armored bug-themed superheroes. So what else was there to do? How about a list of other blue beetles out there in the world? It started as a silly idea, but I did some Googling and I have found six other blue beetles in the world of pop culture (mostly). Weird, huh? Don’t believe me?
Join me after the jump to see my list of other blue beetles that exist beyond the actual, comic book Blue Beetle!
Read the rest of this entryHow About a Second Season of The Wheel of Time?
I’m back home from my trip to New York City, recovering from all the new bruises I got from being outside my comfort zone. Ow. Anyway, it’s a Tuesday, there’s not a lot going on, I missed yesterday; how about a trailer for a second season of The Wheel of Time on Amazon Prime?
I barely remember the first season. I know I liked it, definitely liked it more than I guess the general consensus. Something about a chosen one? If you haven’t seen the first season, the trailer gives away which character is the chosen one. But I think I only recognized some of the actors in that trailer, and only a little bit of the plot. Oh well. I’ll probably watch a recap video on YouTube and then dive into season 2 at some point.
The Wheel of Time season 2 comes out on Sept. 1.
