Tell It Animated Tackles Dinosaurs!

The excellent YouTube channel Tell It Animated has decided on a new style for their latest episode. Rather than just trace a famous character’s style designs over the decades, he’s now decided to do the Jurassic Park dinosaurs by comparing them to real world science! Way to introduce science to those dinosaurs!

This is a pretty neat idea. I bet dinosaurs are tougher to draw than Freddy or Batman. But I enjoyed the video and look forward to him making more of this style. Do all the dinosaurs!

And, as always, my recommendation for a new video is Robin!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/1/22

For once, I have more than just two or so comics to read and review this week! And yet I’m still not branching out as much as I’d like to non-superhero stuff. I haven’t even read 8 Billion Genies yet! That’s supposed to be very good. At least Ant-Man and Thunderbolts are also very good, as is the first issue of Tim Drake: Robin.

Comic Book of the Week goes to Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #100 for a pretty excellent, perfectly paced and powered, big anniversary issue.

Always a classic

Meanwhile, I’m just about ready to start hunting in earnest for an artist for my next comic book project, Cover Bard. So if you are a comic book artist looking for work or you know one who is, drop me a line and we might be in business!

Comic Reviews: Ant-Man #3, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #100, Thunderbolts #2, Tim Drake: Robin #1 and X-Men #15.

Check Out Fairytales From Mars on Kickstarter!

As some readers may know, I am an aspiring comic book creator myself. And while I’ve got some pans in the fire, I’ve also got friends trying to make it as well. One of those friends is Kristi McDowell, my co-creator on Gamer Girl & Vixen. She and our editor, Jamieson Alcorn, recently launched their latest project on Kickstarter called Fairytales From Mars. It’s an anthology of Martian fairytale stories by a host of awesome creators!

I have a lot of faith in my friends and their comic collection. I haven’t been given any special peek into the project, but I think all the artwork looks amazing.

You can read more about the anthology — and read the 4-page preview — at their website.

Mostly I just want to support my friends and co-creators with their next big project. So I am appealing to you, my readers, to head on over to Kickstarter and pre-order yourself a copy of Fairytales From Mars! I think it’s going to be neat!

The 6 Characters I Want on the Next MCU Avengers

A few weeks back, I put together a List of Six of the characters I wanted to see on the live action Thunderbolts movie. Then a few weeks after that, Marvel actually revealed the lineup to their live action Thunderbolts movie, and I only got one or two of them right. I still like the lineup though. Then a few weeks after that, Kevin Feige confirmed that there is no organized Avengers in the MCU at present, and that got me thinking.

Who is going to be on the Avengers roster when Kang Dynasty comes along in 2025?

It was a simpler age

So we know that in 2025, we’re going to get both Avengers: Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars. And we know that there is no official Avengers team in Phase 4, but there are a ton of new superheroes showing up in their own movies and TV shows. Marvel is going to have the pick of the litter by 2025 of who they can use to fill out the roster. And a humble blog writer like me surely has his own ideas, right? You’re gosh darn right!

Join me after the jump for the six superheroes I hope to see making up the next official MCU Avengers team for or before Kang Dynasty.

First Last of Us Trailer Picked a Great Song

The Last of Us is going to be a TV show on HBO, and now we’ve got the first ever trailer! It looks great and they picked a great song to go along with it. This trailer does a great job of setting the mood and setting up all we know about the Last of Us world.

I have high hopes for this show. I loved both games, including The Last of Us 2, and I’m sure HBO can do a good job. There have been a lot of good adaptations of books and comics and games that have crashed and burned lately. So I’m going to remain hopeful and positive, especially after this first look.

And you can always count on Alone and Forsaken by Hank Williams to be a kickass doomsday song.

The Last of Us comes to HBO next year.
