Ironheart is Coming Soon!
The Ironheart TV show will arrive on Disney+ next month, and Marvel has finally put out a full trailer for the show! I think it looks good and I’m definitely going to watch.
I thought Ironheart was fine in Wakanda Forever, and I’ll watch anything Marvel puts out, with an open mind. I didn’t have much faith in an Agatha Harkness TV show, but Agatha All Along was really fun! Even Echo was entertaining. So you best believe I’ll watch and hopefully enjoy Ironheart.
The first half of the show will come out on June 24, and then the second batch of three episodes will come out in July.

New Season of Peacemaker is Gonna be Sweet
Late last week, we got the first look of the second season of Peacemaker, and it looks super sweet. It should go without saying that the first season of Peacemaker was phenomenal television. Loved every second of that show. So you best believe I can’t wait for season 2.
And season 2 looks great! I’m not some big continuity wonk. It doesn’t matter to me that season 1 was part of the previous DC movieverse, and season 2 will be part of the new movieverse. It’s all just Peacemaker to me. And I can’t wait to see these loveable losers get up to some new hilarious and heartwarming mischief.
Peacemaker returns to HBO on Aug. 21.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 5/10/25
Do the weeks seem longer to anybody else? I know I’m working a lot, but damn, the weekend seems to take forever. Anyway, new comics, good stuff all around, like X-Men and Spider-Man.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Superman #7 for an awesome new origin for Brainiac.
Meanwhile, The Museum of the Uncanny Kickstarter was a success! So I will have a new short comic story entering the world sometime soon. Hopefully you all ordered your copy and will get to read it! Beyond that, I’m loving Andor, Doctor Who and The Last of Us, obviously, and continue to slowly make my way through Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Fun game.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Green Lantern #2, Absolute Superman #7, Amazing Spider-Man #3 and X-Men #16.

6 Thoughts on Thunderbolts* (Review)
The second of three Marvel movies hit the big screen this past weekend and I was right there opening night, like the good old days! I was very excited for Thunderbolts* and I’m very happy to say that it mostly lived up to my expectations. Part of me wanted more from the movie, but only in the sense that it was already good and I just wanted more of it to enjoy.
Movie Rating: 8/10 – Very Good
I will admit that Thunderbolts* was not the rip-roaring good time I was hoping for, and that’s OK. This was a darker, more somber movie, while still having bits of fun and great action. It’s not the second coming of the Avengers — despite the title/marketing change. I still had fun with this one, and I bet it’s going to grow on me over time. I really want to go back and see it in the theaters for a second time.
Join me after the jump for my full thoughts/review of Thunderbolts*. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the whole movie, so read at your own peril. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.
Read the rest of this entryLast Chance to Order Museum of the Uncanny!
Good news, everybody! The comic Kickstarter I’m currently a part of has hit its goal and will get published! The Museum of the Uncanny is a spooky comic anthology full of short stories about unique and creepy objects, written by a diverse team of up-and-coming comic creators from around the world! And I just happen to also have a story in the book!
Today is the last chance to order your copy. The book is happening, it will get published, the goal has been reached. Now we’re just raising additional money to try to squeeze a few extra stories into each one, so more bang for everybody’s buck!
If you were waiting for the last minute to order this book, that time is upon us. The campaign ends tomorrow morning and then production will wrap up and we’ll get the book to the printer and then out to everybody who ordered a copy.
My story is called “The Normal Quesadilla Maker That Definitely Can’t Talk,” which is about an ordinary, everyday quesadilla maker. I promise.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg for awesome, spooky stories you can get at The Museum of the Uncanny!
