The Fantastic Four: First Steps Looks So Damn Good!
Randomly, for all I know, we got a new, full-sized trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps today, and holy cow, it looks so damn good! The characters, the effects, the personal stakes, the drama, the scale and scope; this is one gorgeous trailer, people!
So good! They go into so much, without giving away too much, in my opinion. Or maybe I’m still just too hyped about this trailer. Loved the look at the team, loved the look of the Silver Surfer. I have no problem with Marvel switching from Norrin Radd to Shalla-Bal. Seems a perfectly ordinary and uninteresting change to me. And then we get just enough Galactus tease to make me happy. I love the look, I love the feel, I love the retro-futurism, I love that new theme song; hot damn this looks to be an exciting movie!
The Fantastic Four: First Steps is coming to theaters on July 25.

There Will Be More Deep Space Discounts!
Earlier this year, I posted a bunch of cartoons from YouTube artist DeepBlueInk in which he created his own original series. It was called Deep Space Discounts and it was about a space Best Buy prison. Great little show! And there’s going to be more!
So yeah, that’s great news. And I wish DeepBlueInk all the luck in the world to raise money and sell merch and make a second season! This is a creator making his dream come true, and I can definitely identify with that. More power to him!

Hench-Sized Comic Reviews – 4/12/25
I don’t know about you, but weeks have started to feel very long these days. Thankfully, this week still managed to come to an end, so we’ve got that going for us. Solid week for comics, though I didn’t read too many. At least we’ve got new Absolute Batman, eh?
Comic Book of the Week goes to Amazing Spider-Man #1 for a solid, enjoyable relaunch of the main Spider-Man series, which I am again willing to check out.
Meanwhile, I’ve got a short comic story in a new anthology that’s on Kickstarter right now! Museum of the Uncanny is a collection of short stories about weird and quirky artifacts, and my story is called “The Normal Quesadilla Maker That Definitely Can’t Talk.” So if you enjoy reading my comic reviews, I invite you to check out the Kickstarter and perhaps support my comic writing as well! You can also order physical copies of both Gamer Girl & Vixen books as add-ons in this campaign.
Also, I watched the fifth season of the Harley Quinn cartoon and am super pleased to say that it is back on form! Really entertaining season that felt like the early seasons again.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #7 and Amazing Spider-Man #1.
Read the rest of this entryMurderbot Looks Like a Fun Show
For my money, I think AppleTV+ has the best shows when it comes to streaming. I watch all sorts of TV shows across all streaming services, and AppleTV+ is pretty much nothing but bangers. I haven’t loved all of their shows equally, but they have more hits than misses. And next up is Murderbot, which looks really fun.
I’m a little disappointed when he takes off his helmet to look human…but the narration and comedy and sci-fi elements look like they’re really fun! So Murderbot is definitely on my list of upcoming shows to watch!
Murderbot comes to AppleTV+ on May 16.

Step Into the Museum of the Uncanny!
The Kickstarter has launched for the Museum of the Uncanny comic book anthology! I have a short story in this anthology! So how cool would you be if you went to Kickstarter and pre-ordered the comic?! Very cool indeed. There are 8 short stories — with possibly more added via stretch goals — for the low low price of only $29 buckaroos. The stories are about unique and weird artifacts that someday find their way into the museum.
Museum of the Uncanny is produced by my friends at Very Big Comics. It’s me and my friends making our own comics, which has long been my dream and the driving force behind this very blog in the first place.
I’m doing it! I’m making comics!
My short story is called “The Normal Quesadilla That Definitely Can’t Talk,” and it’s about a quesadilla maker that probably can’t talk.
The art is by Wren Rios, with lettering by Marina Leon. Fun team to work with! And I’m really proud of this story.
So yeah, if you’re in the mood to buy some new, indie comics and support some up and coming creators — like yours truly — head on over to Kickstarter and pre-order your copy today of Museum of the Uncanny!
