New Spider-Man Game Arrives This Week
Considering everything else going on in the world these days, it seems a little underplayed that there’s a brand new Spider-Man video game coming out this week. Spider-Man: Miles Morales arrives on Playstation 4 on Thursday. I already have the day off from work.
I am excited about this game…and yet…not? And I’m not entirely sure why not. Based on the reviews I’ve seen, the PS4 version is going to still be good, even though the game is optimized for the PS5 — which also comes out this week, but I’m not about to buy. And the reviews also paint Miles Morales as an extension of the Spider-Man game from last year, which was a masterpiece in Spidey gaming.
I think it might just be the size of Miles Morales, the scope of it. From what I’ve read, it seems to be just a beefier DLC. It’s the same map and gameplay, albeit with some snow on the ground because it’s set in the winter. It’s the same game world, essentially, there’s just a new Spider-Man to control. And the new story is obviously shaped around Miles. And I like Miles! And I’m sure I’ll like this story.
I guess I’ve just got it in my head that this is more Spider-Man 1.5 than its own standalone awesomeness. But I’m still going to buy it ASAP and play the heck out of it!
While I continue to wait for Cyberpunk 2077…

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 11/7/20
Welcome to a brave new world! Or at least that’s what I would be saying if this stupid presidential election would just end already! We know who’s gonna win! And I don’t want to have to keep knocking on wood every time I talk about it! Sheesh!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Mighty Morphin #1, the kick off of the next stage of Power Rangers comics. That new Green Ranger looks damn cool!
Meanwhile, I’m working my way through the last few seasons of Archer. They’re fine, but the show isn’t as good as the original seasons. And I’m finally going to get to see Tenet! It’s playing in one of the few movie theaters that’s open in my area this afternoon. I already bought my ticket. Here’s hoping I don’t die!
Comic Reviews: Batman #102, Mighty Morphin #1, Thor #9, U.S.Agent #1, X-Men #14 and Marauders #14.

The Mandalorian is back and the first episode was great! The second episode is out today, and I’ll watch it later tonight. Can’t wait! Until then, here are a couple of cool Mandalorian things I’ve seen on the internet in the past week.
First up is this cool anime-style Mandalorian opening sequence by Malec. This thing is sweet as hell!
Heck yeah! That’s what the internet was made for: showing off the creative abilities of all us wonderful people in the world!
Next up is a cutesy Christmas short from Star Wars Kids, so it’s an official Star Wars production. It’s also in LEGO.
There’s a new LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special coming out later this month. You can check out the trailer here. It looks OK. I don’t watch the Star Wars LEGO movies and whatnot, so I don’t know if I’ll view this one.
But all of this reminds me that I still need to build that LEGO Razor Crest I bought…

6 Other Super Villains For Whom There Could Be 3
I didn’t read Three Jokers. It sounded silly. And from what I could glean from the internet, it wasn’t very good. But I’m pretty busy at work this week, and the Election in America is very anxiety-inducing, so this is going to be a quick, silly list about triplicated super-villains!
So yeah, what happened in Three Jokers? I didn’t even read summaries. I guess the Joker went and indoctrinated two other guys to be Jokers as well? Or the Joker has always been multiple people? I don’t know and I don’t care. I’m just going to spend the next half an hour or so coming up with funny entries for comic book super-villains who could maybe have three versions? And the superheroes never found out? Sounds like fun!
Read the rest of this entryVote! And Vote Safely!
I don’t write about politics on my blog because writing about politics is just not my thing. But today is Election Day in America and my comics team and I whipped up these fun Gamer Girl & Vixen Get Out the Vote pictures!
So vote for whoever you’re going to vote for, just vote. Personally, I hope we kick Donald Trump and the Republican Party to the curb and start saving our country. But that’s just me.
The real important thing is that you buy Gamer Girl & Vixen comics!
