Creed III Should Be Pretty Good
There’s a third Creed movie coming out in only a few weeks. I very much enjoyed Creeds 1 and 2, especially 2. So I have a lot of hope and faith in Creed III. As you should too.
Granted, I’m pretty sure we know exactly what the movie is going to be about based on past films and this trailer. No doubt, Creed will go up against Jonathan Majors, who will beat him in their first bout. Then Creed will be at his lowest for a while, will do some working out, and then will come back and beat him in the climactic battle in the end. Let’s hope that’s not the case.
Creed III comes to theaters on March 3.

6 Comic Book Characters with Time-Travel Powers
What is a comic book blogger supposed to do when there have already been several Ant-Man films and I’ve already used up all the best List of Six ideas for those? I’ve done bug superheroes. I’ve done shrinking superheroes. I’ve done growing superheroes. I’ve done armored bug superheroes. I’ve got nothing left! I’m all tapped out on exploiting Ant-Man and the Wasp for list ideas!
So how about we do Kang the Conqueror?
The next big bad of the Marvel Cinematic Universe will be Kang the Conqueror, and he’s making his big screen debut this week in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. I’m excited! I can’t wait to see this film and I hope it lives up to all my excitement. Ant-Man is my favorite Avenger and I’m excited to see how Kang kicks butt and makes an impact. And to celebrate his awesomeness, let’s take a look at other time traveling superheroes. Kang the Conqueror is a master of time, bending it to his will. And he’s not the only one capable of such feats in the funny pages.
I’m not talking about characters who have time traveled, like Bishop or Booster Gold. I’m talking about comic book heroes and villains who can manipulate time itself! Join me after the jump to see who I found.

The Super Bowl aired this past weekend and it was probably fine. I didn’t watch. Not my thing. I’m more into superhero movies! And we got some big trailers for some superhero movies during the Big Game. Not as many trailers as I expected — no Marvels teaser? — but enough to share the two of them today!
First up is Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3! It’s funny, it’s charming, it’s a little all over the place, but is otherwise solid.
I’m obviously excited for this one. The Guardians of the Galaxy movies are great. James Gunn is great. I’m sure he has so much planned, both happy and sad. It’s gonna live up to the hype of the trilogy and this one last ride will be a hoot.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 comes out on May 5.
Then we have The Flash, and this movie puzzles me so much. It’s been in production hell for years. It’s star, Ezra Miller, is some kind of psychopath, and that’s being glossed over. And, quite honestly, this movie seems to care more about Batman than it does the Flash.
Tell me this isn’t just Batman: No Way Home. Tell me this isn’t just using the Flash as the engine to crossing the multiverse, just so DC can hype up Michael Keaton’s return as Batman as the selling point of this movie. Surely no general audiences really care about the Flash. He hasn’t been on the big screen since the Justice League movie. I’ll grant you, there do seem to be Flash-based plot points and story threads, but this trailer is all about showing us that Batman is in the movie.
Man, I just don’t care that Michael Keaton’s Batman is back. He’s old. It’s not gonna be the same. And I, personally, do not need an entire movie to reset the universe so that the new stuff can come in. That’s what boggles my mind the most. The DCEU is not such a storied institution that it needs an in-universe explanation for why we’re gonna be getting new stuff. Just make the new stuff.
Ah well, who am I even complaining to? I’m still gonna go see The Flash when it comes to theaters on June 16.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 2/11/23
The time has come for more comic book reviews. Do you look forward to these reviews every week? I know you do! Should I have them up on Thursdays instead? Get off my back! We’ve got new Batman and the return of Static!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Amazing Spider-Man #19 for a fun tale about Spidey and the Black Cat. I’ve always liked them as a couple.
Meanwhile, I am having a ton of fun with Marvel’s Midnight Suns. Once I got into the groove of the game, it’s become a real blast! I fully expect to max out all the characters just because I can and the end will be more fun that way. I’m also super eager to see Ant-Man & the Wasp: Quantumania next week!
Comic Reviews: Amazing Spider-Man #19, Batman #132 and Static: Shadows of Dakota #1.

Good news, everybody! I own a Nintendo Switch now, so when Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is released in a couple months, I’ll be able to play it immediately! I very much enjoyed Breath of the Wild, and I’m glad to be on board for the sequel right away. Looks like they just took the first game and expanded it in a lot of great ways.
There’s driving a cool car, there’s falling through the air, there’s some underground stuff; maybe we’ll get to play as Zelda? I’m fully on board with all of this! A lot of people are raising a fuss online that this game is going to cost $70 as opposed to the usual $60…but I’ve made my piece with this. I’m an adult with a full time job and a comfortable life, I can afford an extra $10 for my video games. And yeah, I’m bragging. Wanna fight about it?
Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom comes out on May 12.
