There’s Gonna Be a Fun New Ant-Man Comic!

Ant-Man is my favorite MCU superhero. He’s a great everyman with an awesome costume and a neat super power. And not only has Ant-Man 3 been confirmed, but Marvel has announced a new comic from writer Zeb Wells and artist Dylan Burnett.

Ant Man Zub Comic 01

I love Cassie’s look on this cover

The new comic will star Scott Lang and his daughter Cassie as they save the world from tiny threats. According to Marvel, a down-on-his-luck Scott takes a job helping some beekeepers and stumbles upon an international conspiracy! Sounds like a solid set up to a new Ant-Man series. I really enjoyed the last Ant-Man comic from Nick Spencer a couple years ago, and I’m excited for this new comic.

Comes out in February!

Jumanji is Taking It to the Next Level!

There’s a new Jumanji movie coming in December! I’m very excited for Jumanji: The Next Level. I was a major skeptic for the Jumanji revival a couple of years ago, but then I saw the film and was thrilled. It was exciting and wonderfully heartfelt.

Let’s hope Jumanji: The Next Level can deliver the same quality.

If it does not, I will be incredibly judgmental. But I have high hopes and a lot of faith after that last film.

Honestly, I might be more excited about this than The Rise of Skywalker

Jumanji: The Next Level comes out on Dec. 11.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 11/2/19

Oh what a world, what a world! I was swamped at work this week, so I didn’t have time to read too many comics. Fortunately, it was a Fifth Wednesday situation, so there weren’t many comics to worry about anyway!

Excalibur arrives to continue Dawn of X, and it’s fine. Runaways has a quiet issue that just moves the story along. And Mighty Morphin Power Rangers wins Comic Book of the Week for another exciting issue!

Power Omega Rangers Meet 01

I need Omega Pink to happen

Meanwhile, I’ve been reading through Brian Michael Bendis’ Daredevil for the first time ever. It’s pretty good! And in comic book movie news, we have confirmation of Into the Spider-Verse 2 and Ant-Man 3! That’s pretty exciting!

Comic Reviews: Excalibur #1, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #44 and Runaways #26.

Diablo 4 Is On Its Way!

We all love video games. I know I do. And so another long-lasting, ever popular franchise will be back for another installment. Blizzard — which is facing all sorts of trouble this year — has announced Diablo 4!

They did so with this long, fancy, cinematic trailer.

I’ve been a Diablo fan since the beginning. And even though I’m just as bothered as anybody else with Blizzard’s China connections as of late, I’m still quite excited to play such a game as Diablo 4.

They also released a gameplay trailer and announced the first three classes: barbarian, druid and sorceress.

The game looks like a Diablo game, alright. Though I’m a little disappointed that it’s just going to be another medieval adventure. Why not pick a new era? Maybe pirate era Diablo? Or modern day? That would be fun! Maybe make Diablo the hero this time against a corrupt Heaven?

Just spitballing here. No release date yet.

The Witcher TV Show Will Either Be Good or Bad

I’m a huge fan of The Witcher video games. But the new Witcher Netflix show is going to be based on the books. So who knows exactly what we’re going to get. And I’m not sure this trailer provides that good of a look.

I honestly don’t know what to make of what we’re seeing here. It looks well made, but I also don’t know if Henry Cavill can pull this off. They should have given him the beard from Witcher 3, even though it’s not canonically accurate at all. Geralt of Rivia just looks better with a beard.

We’ll see! The Witcher TV show comes out on Dec. 20!
