I Fully Support Soft Serve, the Mutant Who Poops Ice Cream
The secret revelation of Soft Serve was something I stumbled upon this past weekend and I am 1 million % on board. Soft Serve is apparently a mutant who can poop ice cream, created by artist Bob Quinn in his free time. And Quinn just so happens to be the artist on the brand new Way of X comic, which I am loving.
When you’re an artist on an X-Men comic full of crowded group scenes, you get to have a little fun!
Quinn introduced Soft Serve to the world on Twitter back on Feb. 8.
One assumes he was already hard at work on the first couple of issues of Way of X at that point. And sure enough, Soft Serve made her “official” debut on the final page of Way of X #2 last week.
Don’t see her? Take a closer look. She’s the one trying to offer ice cream to a fellow Krakoan.
Bob Quinn confirmed the arrival of Soft Serve on Twitter once the issue was out last Wednesday. According to him, it’s better to ask forgiveness than permission when it comes to sneaking his own, original mutants into the official pages of an X-Men comic.
Suffice to say, I love this. An artist and longtime X-Men fan having some silly fun with the big background shots of Krakoa? Wonderful! There have been so many of those big background shots, and filling them with unique and original mutants sounds hilarious and wonderful.
Soft Serve even has her own page on the Marvel Wiki. Who knows what that means.
I will be watching her career with much interest!

How About the First Eternals Trailer?!
And here I thought it was going to be a pretty chill Monday. Nope! Marvel released the first teaser trailer for The Eternals today and it’s something else! I still have no idea what to make of this movie. What the heck is this going to be?
Jeez louis, that’s just neat. I like the song choice. The trailer explains what The Eternals are and what we might be dealing with. And it’s a teaser, so no real plot details yet. But I just don’t know what to make of this movie. I have complete and utter faith in Marvel to pull this off. But man, The Eternals are out there, even for me!
The Eternals arrives in theaters in November!

How About Some Rick and Morty Trailer?
Another Monday is here and we’ve got another trailer for the upcoming season of Rick and Morty. I mean, why not? We all love Rick and Morty. It comes out in a month. And it looks pretty fun!
I like Rick and Morty as much as the next person and the glimpses at the new season look great. What else is there to know? What else is there to talk about? They announced the other day that The Vindicators are going to get a spin-off show. That’s neat…except they’re all dead. So…huh?
Look, I gotta head out of town for work this morning and just wanted an easy share. I’ve got something a lot more fun — and tasty! — to post tomorrow! Just you wait!
Rick and Morty returns on June 20!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 5/22/21
So this is a first! I absolutely adored every single comic book I read this week. Sometimes I’m pretty lukewarm on an issue. Sometimes they’re just fine. But hot damn, every comic I read for review this week was a real banger! From the new issue of Nightwing to even Power Rangers! And you know I love me some Runaways and the new Way of X.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Wonder Girl #1 because it has the benefit of both being a first issue and having the artwork of Joelle Jones, which almost seems unfair.
But seriously, every comic I read this week was a dream. I was this close to awarding every single issue a 9 out of 10, which is pretty much the highest score I give.
Meanwhile, Heroes Reborn continues to be a delight! Jason Aaron seems to be having a blast creating a new Marvel Universe built around the Squadron Supreme. It’s nifty as all heck! Double meanwhile, I just finished Shadow and Bone on Netflix and I can’t recommend it. The show was fine, but it was drowning in YA tropes that near about strangled the life out of anything actually interesting on the show.
Comic Reviews: Nightwing #80, Power Rangers #7, Runaways #36, Way of X #2 and Wonder Girl #1.
Read the rest of this entryA Tiny Look at Loki
The Loki TV show is less than three weeks away and we’re all excited. It’s gonna be a fun show. How do I know? Check out this other trailer! It’s a quick one.
I think there are going to be a lot of surprises in Loki. Storylines, characters, twists; this show is going to be a lot! I also anticipate that it’s going to be very good. I have enjoyed WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, so I am more than ready for more Marvel TV shows!
Here’s Tom Hiddleston hyping it up even more.
I hope he’s excited for this show. I hope it’s a major hit!
Loki arrives on Disney+ on June 9.
