The Top 6 Reptile Superheroes
Animals are at the heart of all superheroes. Two of the most popular superheroes of all time — Batman and Spider-Man — are just dudes with animal themes. And I’ve made it my mission to explore some of the rare and obscure animal themes in comics. This time we’re going to look at the wild world of reptiles!
A fine example
I’ve already explored birds, dinosaurs, dogs, pigs and frogs, among others. But how about reptiles? People are terrified of reptiles! Snakes and lizards and other green, scaly things are pretty ooky! But why aren’t there more reptile-based comic book characters? Would it really be so weird? Why do Batman and Spider-Man get a pass?
Join me after the jump for the six best comic book characters patterned after reptiles!
I’m Still Not Sure About This Watchmen TV Show
A Watchmen TV show is coming to HBO. It’s not going to be an adaptation of the legendary graphic novel. Instead, it’s going to be…some kind of continuation? I’m still not really sure, but I’ll probably get around to watching it. I hope it’s good! Even though I don’t have much faith, in spirit, in any Watchmen spin-off.
Today’s a pretty big day! My vacation is over and I’m back to work. But more importantly, the new expansion to Red Dead Online comes out today! I can’t wait to get home and finally play some new content!
Maybe I should have called in sick today…

A Fun Simpsons Thing!
It’s the last day of my vacation, so my laziness is still at peak Sean. So how about we enjoy this Monday with this funny Simpsons/real life video from Katrin von Niederhäusern. It’s really fun!
I should probably visit New Orleans some day. I’ve lived in America for my entire life but I’ve barely visited a quarter of it.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 9/7/18
If you’re reading this, I’m probably on the road! Got a long drive today to a cousin’s wedding down in Maryland. Hopefully it’s neat! Then a long drive back home tomorrow. Fortunately, had some good comics this week to sustain my imagination,
We got two doses of FF this week, with both Fantastic Four and Future Foundation! The latter was less than stellar, while the former won Comic Book of the Week for it’s nifty premise!
It’s like 1961 all over again!
Meanwhile, the second issue of the Scream mini-series shows us that Scream could be her own self again, that she’s not just Carnage’s puppet. That gives me hope for her upcoming solo series. And while the new Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy mini-series has a fun first issue, it was too bland to dig into it with a proper review.
In other random news, I finally finished off Kurtis Wiebe’s run on Rat Queens. It’s a bit of a rushed ending, but still good stuff. It’s a great comic overall if you’re ever looking for something to read. Maybe I’ll do a larger article on Rat Queens one of these days…
Comic Reviews: Fantastic Four #14, Future Foundation #2, The Green Lantern #11, House of X #4 and Lois Lane #3.
Some Cool Upcoming Netflix Stuff!
Today’s my birthday and I was feeling rather lazy, but then remembered I didn’t post anything yesterday! So how about some trailers for some upcoming awesome stuff on Netflix? I’m not getting paid by Netflix to post this, I just really enjoy trailers.
Between Two Ferns: The Movie looks particularly funny.
And while I wasn’t too thrilled with the first season of Disenchantment, you best believe I’ll watch season 2. Neither The Simpsons or Futurama were perfect right out of the gate.
As for my birthday, I’m off to get my free Grand Slam meal from Denny’s. Because that’s how I choose to roll.
