My 6 Favorite Spider-Man Allies

Spider-Man: Far From Home is here and it’s great! I saw it last night and enjoyed the heck out of it! It’s another fun Spidey adventure, with great characters, great action and some really great after-credits scenes! Stay for them all! My full review will go up next week!

To celebrate this movie, let’s take a look at my favorite Spider-Man allies!

Spidey Allies List 01

They’re amazing!

Many years ago, when Spider-Man: Homecoming was being made, I did a list of my favorite Spider-Man villains. Spider-Man was one of the major comics I read in the 1990s, back when I was first getting into comics on my own. And I’ve always had a soft spot for both Spidey’s extended Rogues Gallery and his various superhero buddies. Spider-Man is such a big brand that he has other superheroes who exist pretty much exclusively as heroic supporting characters to him. It’s great!

Join me after the jump for my favorite Spider-Man buddies!

I’m Really Excited for Jumanji: The Next Level!

Back in the day, I was very skeptical about Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. I didn’t see any reason to relaunch that franchise decades later. But I went to see it anyway and, man, I loved it! That movie was phenomenal! With a truly emotional ending that had me legit choked up. I can’t rave enough.

So I’m really excited for the sequel, Jumanji: The Next Level!

Looks great! I have high hopes! The Rock channeling Danny DeVito is everything we could have hoped for. So yeah, I’m quite pleased with what I’m seeing here and I’m excited for the film! It comes out in December.

Godzilla Has Had More Makeovers Than I Thought

The Tell It Animated guy has finally gotten around to doing Godzilla! He missed the release of Godzilla: King of the Monsters a couple weeks ago, but we won’t hold that against him! We’re not the evil YouTube algorithm! We just enjoy some good Godzilla!

King of the Monsters was a fun movie! And Tell It Animated is a great channel! I don’t know who they could do next…Iron Man would be fun, considering all of the armors we saw on screen throughout the MCU. He could also do the Incredible Hulk…oh no wait, he already did. Did Ghostface Killer from Scream have different looks?

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/29/19

In only a few short days, we’ll get to watch Spider-Man: Far From Home! I’m quite jazzed, as the movie has been getting rave reviews, with a lot of people really hyping up the post-credits scenes. I’ve done fairly well at avoiding spoilers for Marvel movies recently, so I’m excited for next week! Got my ticket for opening night on Tuesday!

No Spider-Man comics this week, because I’m just not reading any. I keep meaning to fix that. But we do have a couple issues of Ms. Marvel and Runaways! In terms of big issues, we’ve got the finale of War of the Realms, which is solid, and the finale of Mr. & Mrs. X, which is nice, but the fanboy in me is giving Comic Book of the Week to the next big Mighty Morphin Power Rangers kick-off!

Stone Canyon Rangers 02

What?! New Power Rangers?!

BOOM! Studios and their Power Rangers creative teams have been injecting pure fanboy nostalgia into my veins for nearly the entire length of their comics. It’s insane.

Meanwhile, X-Tremists wrapped up this week with a nice send-off for the only Age of X-Man comic worth reading. Hopefully we get some better closure with the Omega issue, because I want to see what happens to Blob when he has to weigh his old, evil life against the good-ish person he was in Age of X-Man. I fear we’re never going to get that closure.

Comic Reviews: Magnificent Ms. Marvel #4, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #40, Mr. & Mrs. X #12, Runaways #22 and War of the Realms #6.

Teen Titans vs. Teen Titans!

The next DC animated movie is going to be Teen Titans Go! vs. the classic Teen Titans! The first trailer is here and it looks hilariously awesome!

I’m a huge fan of Teen Titans Go! I know a lot of classic Titans fans hate it, but nuts to them! Teen Titans Go! is hilarious and a lot of fun. And they know exactly how to get in their digs, which this entire movie seems to be about. I love when the show does that, and I hope to love what we’re going to see next!
