Here’s a Really Cool Warhammer Video
Total War: Warhammer III was my favorite video game last year. I love the Total War games, especially the Warhammer ones. It’s a real time strategy game set in a huge world and featuring armies of orks, trolls, wizards, dragons and much, much more. I’ve been playing for at least a decade, through all three games. And one of the funnest aspects is that the developers have simply expanded the same map each time.
And now that whole map is open to everybody just buying Warhammer III.
So basically, in the first Total War: Warhammer, we had a big map and half a dozen or so races to fight on it. In Warhammer II, they kept that same map, then added a whole bunch of new continents, islands and races to the west. And now in Warhammer III, they expanded to the east, south and north, making a huuuuuge map with dozens of available races. Before now, players needed to have all three games to play this big map. Now the developers have opened the map up to just people buying Warhammer III, so it’s less of a pricey process for anybody who wants to give it a try.
That’s neat! And I also just wanted to share that cool announcement video, because it’s really neat. I highly recommend this games, and I’m very much looking forward to years of DLC and new races and generals coming up in the future.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 2/18/23
Everything’s coming up Milhouse! What an excellent week for comics, my friends! Oddly, none of the DC titles I’m currently reading came out this week. But a metric ton of Marvel comics I’m into did! So we’ve got new Fantastic Four, X-Men, Invincible Iron Man and more!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #105 because this series continues to be simply my favorite. Especially thanks to cute and funny moments like this.
Meanwhile, if you’re reading this the day it’s posted, I’ll be going to see Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania today! I’m excited, because I like the Ant-Man movies. It’s getting some mixed reviews, but all those reviews point to a movie that I’m still likely to enjoy. I wasn’t able to see it opening night because I was still at work. Ain’t that a kicker? But it should be fun, and I’ll post my review/thoughts on Wednesday.
Comic Reviews: Fantastic Four #4, Invincible Iron Man #3, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #105, Monica Rambeau: Photon #3, Wasp #3 and X-Men #19.
Read the rest of this entryJohn Wick vs. Tetris
This has been a huge week for movie trailers. And these are no different!
First up is a big new trailer for John Wick: Chapter 4. This will probably be a big, awesome film with awesome action and an awesome Keanu Reeves at its center. Lotsa guns, lotsa fighting, lotsa action; it’s a John Wick movie.
This movie and trailer strike me as so weird, sometimes, when you consider how this franchise started. John Wick was working as a hitman for some lowly Russian gangster in a single city. Was he slumming it with that guy? Have they ever talked about it in any of the sequels?
Ah well, doesn’t matter. The new one should be fun. John Wick: Chapter 4 comes to theaters on March 24.
Next up is a new trailer for a film we didn’t know was coming: a Tetris biopic!
I love Tetris as much as the next person. I hope this is a cool and exciting story! An American with a dream about Tetris goes to Russia to get his hands on the ultimate video game. Looks pretty exciting and full of action. Maybe it’ll be the best video game adaptation movie of all time.
Tetris is coming to AppleTV+ on March 31.

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.
