Toon Trailer Thursday!
Lots of trailers this week. I love a week that gives us a whole bunch of movie or TV or video game trailers, because I love watching and sharing trailers. Today we’ve got a pair of upcoming animated shows making their return!
First up is the second season of Castlevania: Nocturne, the sequel series to the truly excellent first Castlevania show on Netflix. I can safely say I don’t remember anything from the first season of Nocturne, which isn’t a good sign…
Looks like a fun, gory, action series to me! Which is exactly what the first show and the first season were all about. So yeah, I’ll definitely be tuning in to check out season 2…after finding a season 1 recap video on YouTube somewhere…
Castlevania: Nocturne returns to Netfix on Jan. 16.
Also returning next month is the fifth season of the Harley Quinn cartoon!
Count me among the fans who didn’t think season 4 was very good. This show was an insanely funny and crazy bit of television in the first two or three seasons, but then swiftly fell off…to the point that I haven’t even watched the spin-off Kite-Man series! But I’m not about to give up on Harley Quinn completely and I will be back for season 5!
Harley Quinn returns to Max…also on Jan. 16! Neat!

Don’t Watch This Severance Trailer!
Don’t watch this new trailer for the TV show Severance unless you’re caught up on season 1 and ready to watch the upcoming season 2. Don’t spoil anything for yourself about this show! And this trailer has a lot of SPOILERS! I don’t even know why I’m posting this trailer…unless it’s to share my love of this show and convince you to finally watch? Unless it’s for people like me who are all caught up and can’t wait for season 2?
This looks great! There are a ton of SPOILERS in this trailer, but since I’ve already seen season 1, they’re not spoiled for me. So be careful if you want to watch.
Don’t sleep on Severance. It’s as good as everybody says it is. Maybe you don’t have AppleTV+ and I can’t blame you for that. But there are plenty of shows on that network that are worth burning your free trial for. Do they still have free trials? Anyway, watch Severance, which returns for season 2 on Jan. 17.

Everybody Get Ready for Deep Space Discounts!
Upon this great internet of ours, one of the things I like to watch are the cartoons by DeepBlueInk on YouTube. DeepBlueInk takes audio clips from some of my favorite podcasters and personalities — specifically, for me, the McElroy Brothers, Dropout and the Drawfee gang — and turns them into fun little animations. They’re a hoot.
Welp, it seems that Mr. Deep is moving on to start his own animated show on YouTube, called Deep Space Discounts! It’s coming in January and you can check out the trailer.
I think it looks great! The dude has a great animation style, especially for YouTube, and I will be promoting the heck out of it on this blog because I want to support good creators on the internet. Check out the website to learn more info on the project.
And mark your calendars for next month and the start of Deep Space Discounts on YouTube!

Invincible Season 3 is Gonna Be Off the Chain!
Thankfully, we won’t have to wait too much longer to see more Invincible, because the next season is coming out in February! So it will have been about a year between seasons, or parts of seasons. Whatever. Who’s keeping track? Just know that we’ve got more show!
Invincible has been a real hoot and a half of a show and I very much look forward to more. I’ve read the comic so I know a lot of what to expect, but that hasn’t lessened the enjoyment of the TV show. It’s still a fun watch! It’s still off the chain! I think they’re doing a great job with the adaptation, and all plans seem to indicate they’re going to go all the way to the end. It will become a wildly different show in the future, but that can be super fun as well! Here’s hoping they can pull it all off.
Invincible returns to Amazon Prime on Feb. 6.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 12/7/24
I was on vacation from work this week and mostly spent the time relaxing and enjoying my various hobbies. I caught up on a lot of comics I’ve fallen behind on, and probably could and should have reviewed a lot more this week…
Comic Book of the Week goes to Batman #155 for an issue that’s fit to bursting with engaging storytelling and fantastic artwork!
Meanwhile, I spent the week playing through the discounted DLC from Sniper Elite 5, a game series I very much enjoy. I’m still doing another playthrough on Baldur’s Gate 3, because it’s cheaper than buying a fully priced Dragon Age: The Veilguard, which is what I was tempted to do. And I bought Hades on sale, so that should be fun once I really devout time to it. Beyond that, I built some LEGO and started reading Chip Zdarsky’s Daredevil run. A good, enjoyable week off, I’d say! And I’ve still got a few days left.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Superman #2, Batgirl #2, Batman #155 and X-Men #8.
