Hilda is Coming Back for a Second Season!
Honestly, I’m a little shocked to learn that the adorable animated show Hilda has only had one season so far. I watched it and I enjoyed it…but apparently, in my memory, I thought it was much more than just 13 episodes. Turns out I’m wrong! And they came out all the way back in 2018!
Well good news, Hilda fans! Season 2 starts in two weeks!
Hilda is an adventurous little girl who lives in a world of urban fantasy. She lives in a nice little town, and then there’s monsters and elves and magic and all sorts of stuff. It’s a quaint little cartoon and definitely worth a watch!
Hilda season 2 comes to Netflix on Dec. 14.

A New Doctor Who Special is Coming!
As is tradition, there’s going to be a Doctor Who TV special for New Year’s Day. Revolution of the Daleks is going to mostly star the companions as they take on the Daleks without the Doctor…but with a special guest!
Honestly, this finally better be where the Doctor is reunited with Jack Harkness. You can’t keep teasing that! Let it happen!
I’m several episodes behind on the latest season. I used to be a big Doctor Who fan, but I guess I just got bored with the latest season. And I had the big season ending revelation spoiled for me, and I’m largely fine with it. Guess I should settle in and watch before New Year’s.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 11/28/20
Man, oh man! What an awesome episode of The Mandalorian that was! Don’t worry, you’ll find no spoilers here! That was just an exciting episode…far more exciting than this weeks comics, which include new Doctor Doom and a relaunched Power Pack!
Comic Book of the Week goes to the finale to X of Swords. Not because its the best comic of the week, but because it is the most momentous. I’ll give it that.
Meanwhile, I’ve been watching the new Animaniacs revival and it’s fine. I’ve laughed a few times, and am generally enjoying the show. But I don’t think it’s…evolved as it should have. The show doesn’t justify its revival after more than 20 years. And maybe that’s too high a standard to hold the Animaniacs to, but maybe I just feel like being contrarian.
Comic Reviews: Doctor Doom #9, Power Pack #1, X-Men #15, Excalibur #15 and X of Swords: Destruction #1.

This cartoon is making the rounds and it’s pretty fun! It’s a speech by Stan the Man about the power of cuss words, recorded by collaborator Aron Fromm. And it’s animated by Richard Plata, among others. Pretty fun stuff.
And it’s the perfect sort of easy thing to share on this, the day after Thanksgiving. I’m relaxing at home and trying to decide how soon is too soon to watch the new episode of The Mandalorian…

6 X-Men LEGO Sets We Need to Have
There exists only two LEGO X-Men sets. This is appalling. Once upon a time, Marvel’s CEO was royally annoyed at the X-Men because the movie rights were owned by FOX Studios, so no X-Men products were being made. But all of that is settled. Marvel and Disney own the X-Men again. So why haven’t they worked out more LEGO X-Men sets?
There are a ton of LEGO Marvel sets in general…but they’re starting to repeat themselves. Everything has either Spider-Man or Carnage or Venom in it. And there are only so many times you can give Spider-Man a new monster truck or helicopter before it becomes ridiculous. How many Hulkbusters does Iron Man need? How many themed motorcycles can they make? The time has come for Marvel and LEGO to embrace the wide world of the X-Men and give the people what they want!
Join me after the jump to see which X-Men LEGO sets the people (i.e. me) want!
