The King’s Man Is Still Planning to Come Out
The King’s Man prequel movie is slated to be released in theaters on Sept. 28. It’s not the first big budget movie to try to return to theaters this summer/fall, but it’s nice that it’s still holding on with some hope. The new trailer looks pretty neat.
I like the general idea behind The King’s Man. Take the cool, stylized concept of the Kingsmen movies and apply it to a period piece. That could be fun! And hopefully we will indeed have movie theaters back by the end of September.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/20/20
Slowly but surely, the comic book industry is on its way back. For the second week in a row, I’ve got an actual pile of comics to read and review! That’s a lot of fun.
We’ve got The Green Lantern, Strange Adventures and a look into new BOOM! Studios comic Wynd by James Tynion IV. I saw it was available and thought I’d give it a try. But Comic Book of the Week goes to the final issue of Zeb Wells’ Ant-Man mini-series for a contented wrap-up.
Meanwhile, I’ve started burning through My Hero Academia. It’s a fun show, and just catchy enough that I keep watching one right after another instead of spacing them out for the purposes of making quarantine more bearable. What will I watch when I’m done?!
Comic Reviews: Ant-Man #5, The Green Lantern: Season 2 #4, Strange Adventures #2 and Wynd #1.

Star Wars: Squadrons was announced earlier this week as an upcoming starfighter piloting game! The announcement trailer was more of a story trailer. Thankfully, we did not have to wait long for a gameplay trailer!
Looks super fun! If I was any good at pilot games I would be really psyched! Watching this trailer, I developed the desire to finally buy a VR headset and actually put time into practicing until I’m an X-Wing ace! Wouldn’t that be fun? Wouldn’t that be a good way to spend the rest of my life?
Or maybe I’d be a TIE Fighter ace…

I Love a Good Simpsons Meme, Especially in LEGO
I love the fact that the “steamed hams” bit from The Simpsons became this weird meme. It’s the perfect kind of insane.
Apparently it’s still a thing, because here’s the entire scene done in amazing LEGO by Chuwawa on YouTube!
I mean, that’s absolutely perfect, right? The animation is gorgeous and flows like butter! The jokes are just as funny today as they were all those years ago. This is memedom to perfection!
If this Chuwawa fellow is looking to get hired somewhere as an animator, I’d say this definitely makes the highlight reel.

6 Things I Want to See in Spider-Man: Miles Morales
Last week, we got the news that Insomniac has made a new Spider-Man video game to star Miles Morales, due out at launch alongside the Playstation 5 later this year. Their Spider-Man game from 2018 was a masterpiece of web-swinging action, so anything they do with any web-slinger is good news! And, obviously, I have requests!
There has been some back-and-forth since the announcement of Spider-Man: Miles Morales as to what the game is, exactly. Some people have said it’s going to just be a remastered and enhanced version of the 2018 game with some new Miles content. Some people have said it’s a stand alone game that makes use of the previous game’s architecture, while not being a full-on sequel. And in the end, we don’t yet fully know who to believe.
But that’s not going to stop me from throwing off my list of things I’d like to see show up in Spider-Man: Miles Morales!
