Midnight Suns is Going to Be All About Tank Tops
I have taken a particular interest in the upcoming Marvel video game Midnight Suns. I’m a huge fan of the XCOM series, and the idea of taking one of those games and filling it with Marvel superheroes sounds fun! And yesterday we got our first look at the actual gameplay instead of just pre-rendered cut scenes.
And I gotta say…everybody’s wearing tank tops in this game.
Right? Everybody dresses down casually at some point in this game and has a themed tank top. Kinda neat!
All kidding aside, I have no idea what to make of that actual gameplay footage. It looks to be built on the foundation of XCOM, but there are cards? And big special moves? Looks like it could be cool. I’m definitely looking forward to trying this game out.
Midnight Suns comes out in March.

Top 6 Comic Book Martial Artists (Not Named Shang-Chi)
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is only a day away for yours truly! I can’t wait! Word has it that the martial arts action in this movie is going to be off the chain! Who doesn’t love a good martial arts action movie? Who doesn’t love a good martial arts action superhero?
To celebrate the new movie, I’ve decided to list a bunch of other awesome martial arts characters in comics. Obviously, a ton of characters know how to fight and do martial arts. Batman is one of the world’s best fighters in the DC Universe. So this list is specifically for characters whose whole schtick is being a martial arts master. That is their general aesthetic. And I think I’ve picked out some pretty good ones!

There’s still a new James Bond movie coming out. No Time To Die is — as of this post — sticking to its Oct. 8 release date, despite multiple delays due to the pandemic. They’re so confident in the release, there’s a new trailer out today. And sure enough, it looks like a character named James Bond is going to get up to various shooty stuff, with some car stuff as well.
So, like…are we supposed to remember everything that’s happened in Daniel Craig’s James Bond series? The last film came out six years ago! Am I really supposed to have remembered his love interest from that film and all of her various secrets? Let alone everything that happened in Quantum of Solace?
I guess I’ll find out in a couple of weeks!

How Black Widow Should Have Ended
Shang-Chi and the Legend of Ten Rings comes out this week, so how about some Black Widow fun? How about the video of How Black Widow Should Have Ended! There is indeed an annoying amount of Batman and Superman in this video, but the rest is quality alternate ending stuff!
This is a good way to start a hopefully Marvel-filled week of fun!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/28/21
In one week, I will have seen Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. The wait is excruciating! So let’s read some comics to pass the time! Like Superman: Son of Kal-El and something to do with Thor!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Darkhawk #1 for a solid, enjoyable introduction to the new Darkhawk — even if the world wasn’t calling out for a new Darkhawk.
Meanwhile, I just finished the zombie show Kingdom on Netflix and it was amazing! I love me a good zombie show, but couldn’t care less about The Walking Dead anymore. But Kingdom was some epic stuff and highly recommended. It’s a zombie show set in feudal Korea. So we’re talking ancient weaponry, ancient defenses, when dealing with a zombie horde, plus a ton of political intrigue and fun characters. This was a good show and gets my highest recommendation.
Comic Reviews: Darkhawk #1, Strange Academy #12, Superman: Son of Kal-El #2, and Thor #16.
