Check Out the New Cloakroom Issue on Kickstarter!
There’s less than a week left for the new Kickstarter campaign for the latest issue of The Cloakroom. This is the anthology series produced by students in Scott Snyder’s Comics Writing 101 class, of which I’ve been a proud member for a few years now. I even had a short story featured in the first issue of the anthology! I need to remember to share that full comic on here someday.
Anyway, I wanted to give a shout out to the new campaign because they’ve still got a ways to go before they hit their goal, in less than a week!
If you like short comics and want to help support some good people making good comics, then definitely consider backing the latest issue of The Cloakroom.

Hench-Sized Comic Reviews – 9/27/25
Comic reviews might have to take a back seat to life coming up next month. I’ve got a big project at work that is going to keep me busy around the clock! But we’ll see what I can get done. Until then, we’ve got a big, fun pile of comics this week, including Wonder Woman and X-Men!
Comic of the Week goes to Absolute Wonder Woman #12 for an absolutely perfect issue of this series. Kelly Thompson and her creative team are making this look easy.
Meanwhile, I watched the finale for Alien Earth this week and am mostly just whelmed. I’ve never been a big Alien franchise guy, but I liked the show well enough. Nothing special. I did really enjoy Haunted Hotel on Netflix, a new cartoon with 10 easy breezy episodes to get through if you’re into that sort of thing. And then my progress in Silksong has stalled because I can’t get past a couple of very early mini-bosses. I’m trying my best, gosh darnit! Fortunately, reviews for Ghost of Yokei are positively glowing, so perhaps I’ll grab that next week.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Wonder Woman #12, Black Cat #2, Void Rivals #23, Wonder Woman #25 and X-Men #22.
Read the rest of this entryHoly Cow! Wolverine Video Game Trailer!
We’ve known for a few years now that Insomniac was making a Wolverine video game. They’ve done a fantastic job on all the Spider-Man games, and I’m in favor of them making all sorts of superhero games! Wolverine especially!
Looks amazing! Looks a little cut scene heavy, but what do I know? The fighting looks good too. And hopefully a lot of that is active game play. The costume looks great. The gore is on fire. This is a damn good trailer!
Wolverine has had some great video games in the past. The X-Men Origins: Wolverine game, in particular, was a wonderful time! So I can only hope we get something similar and something new and awesome out of this.
Also, they put out a behind-the-scenes segment as well! Just found this and am adding it to my original post.
For now, the Wolverine game is scheduled for next fall in 2026. We’ll see. It’s just nice knowing it’s coming out sooner rather than later at this point.

The Wicked Sequel is On Its Way!
I really enjoyed the Wicked movie. I’ve always heard how great the play is but never saw it, so I was very much looking forward to a cinema adaptation. Movies are my jam, after all. And the first one was good. And now we’re going to get Wicked: For Good in a couple of months. Sounds good to me!
Looks pretty epic and full of life and character and Wizard of Oz stuff and all that goodness. Is it just a retelling of the Wizard of Oz, but from the Wicked Witch’s secret perspective? I don’t remember and I don’t know for sure. Suffice to say, this is a big trailer and this will be a big movie.
Wicked: For Good comes to theaters on Nov. 21.

Outta Nowhere, It’s the First Trailer for The Mandalorian and Grogu!
Here we go, baby! It’s the first trailer for The Mandalorian and Grogu, the movie spin-off from The Mandalorian TV show. The name is still a mouthful, but whatever, I am here for it! I am someone who enjoyed the third season of The Mandalorian and still enjoys most Star Wars content.
And this trailer looks neat! It looks like a big, dumb Star Wars fan service-filled vanity project, but…I don’t care. If Disney and Star Wars wanna keep throwing money at big projects like this, I’ll keep watching. Does Disney suck for cancelling Jimmy Kimmel? Absolutely! But I’m gonna watch what I wanna watch, and that includes this big, dumb movie!
The Mandalorian and Grogu comes to theaters on May 22.
