Avatar: The Last Airbender is, Honestly, the Best Cartoon of All Time
So, Avatar: The Last Airbender came to Netflix a couple weeks ago and everybody is either discovering or re-discovering it’s awesomeness. I don’t have time to watch the whole series again — though I should probably make time — so I’m just going to settle for the new Honest Trailer.
Man, that really was a great show. I should make time to watch it again.

Watch the First Episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks for Free!
Far be it for me to offer free publicity to CBS and the Star Trek franchise; I just want to share this awesome new show with you people. A lot of shows, or at least cartoons, nowadays are putting their first episode for free on YouTube. I think that’s a great marketing tactic! Because who here is actually subscribed to CBS All Access?
Anyway, Star Trek: Lower Decks is a great show so far and I think you should all give it a try!
I think it’s a funny show. Rapid delivering, dry, grounded humor, fun characters, a lot of great Star Trek lore baked deep into the show. It’s good stuff! And it’s free to watch! At least the first episode is…

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/15/20
We’re back! Back again! More comic reviews! Because why not? It’s a mild day in the middle of August and we’ve only got a couple of comics to review this week, mostly X-Men books.
Comic Book of the Week goes to The Green Lantern: Season Two # 6 because it’s a fun comic and I wanted to shake things up a bit this week.
Meanwhile, I’ve decided to read the entirety of Robert Kirkman’s Invincible. The compendiums are at a price I can afford on Amazon and my birthday is coming up. So I’ll let you know how it all goes in a year or so!
Speaking of letting you know how things are, I also read the second volume of Green Lantern: Earth One this week and it was pretty fun! On par with the first volume. It’s a quality GL re-imagining.
Comic Reviews: Empyre: X-Men #3, The Green Lantern: Season Two #6 and Marauders #11.

I consider myself the go-to spot on the internet for Multiple Man news. If there’s a better website, I haven’t seen it. I’m the go-to place to find out how Multiple Man is doing in the Dawn of X era of the X-Men franchise.
Turns out, he exists only to be slaughtered en masse.
I have been keeping a close eye on all of the Dawn of X comics in order to catch whenever and wherever Multiple Man shows up. Part of that is to try and solve the Multiple Man Mystery, as to whether or not this is the one true Jamie Madrox resurrected. The other part of that is he’s just my all-time favorite comic book character, and it’s nice to know he could show up and be in a story again. He was dead for a good, long while.
And now he just keeps getting killed again and again. Or at least his duplicates do. Of the few appearances Madrox has had in Dawn of X so far, he’s mostly had his duplicates slaughtered for one reason or another.
There was his first Dawn of X appearance in X-Force #4 where his dupes were killed.
And now this week has seen two appearances in two different comics! Multiple Man showed up in Empyre: X-Men #3, where it’s actually a story point that a bunch of his duplicates are killed.
And then a bunch more duplicates showed up in X-Force #11 to get gunned down.
Multiple Man just can’t catch a break. Thankfully, Madrox Prime has not been killed yet. He’s having his first starring role in Empyre: X-Men and all signs in that comic point to him being the real, true Madrox Prime. So that’s good. So I’m pretty pleased as a fan.
But who would have thought the cost of getting him back in comics would be watching his dupes hopelessly slaughtered over and over again?

The 6 Snappiest Shark Superheroes
I think this list is what we all need right now. Just something silly to take our minds off the horrible ravages that have destroyed the world. So how about a list of all the comic book characters who base themselves off of sharks? Everybody is afraid of sharks! Heck, I think it’s even Shark Week on the Discovery Channel.
Animal-themed superheroes are at the very heart of comics. Batman and Spider-Man are just dudes patterned after specific animals. And there are plenty more such characters…yet not as many as you would think, especially for some of the more popular or scary critters in the world. I’ve looked at lions, dogs, pigs, frogs, birds and reptiles, and now we’re going to do sharks!
Join me after the jump for the wildest shark-based comic book characters!
