Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 2/8/25
There are so many good comics I wish I had kept reading, but had dropped for whatever unimportant reason. I really, really want to get caught back up with Scarlet Witch! And Birds of Prey! But one comic I’m not dropping anytime soon is…
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Superman #4, which is probably my favorite of the Absolute comics. They’ve all been phenomenal so far, but Jason Aaron and Rafa Sandoval are working some real magic with this new Superman!
Meanwhile, I’m still playing through Dragon Age: Veilguard and Stardew Valley, so I have successfully been able to stop myself from splurging on Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, though I will very much be playing that game soon! Currently making my way through the final season of Doom Patrol at long last, am really enjoying the new season of Severance, and am reading Marjorie Finnegan: Temporal Criminal by Garth Ennis. Fun book!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Superman #4.
Read the rest of this entryThey’re Making Another Jurassic Movie
We all probably should have just assumed a new movie in the Jurassic franchise was coming. Why would they stop? Didn’t the last one still surpass a billion dollars, even though it wasn’t very good? I don’t know. I don’t keep track. But I do watch trailers! Like this trailer for Jurassic World: Rebirth.
Question: If you’re going with a rebirth, why call it Jurassic World? Why not Jurassic Park: Rebirth? Is Jurassic World now the more recognizable franchise name? Though based on the trailer, it’s not like they’re rebuilding the park, so perhaps that name wouldn’t work. But they did rebuild the park in the movie Jurassic World! Now I’m just going around in circles.
Maybe they should have called it something else. Jurassic Island. Jurassic Planet. Jurassic Adventure. Could have been anything, really. Jurassic Galaxy, but it still only takes place on an island.
This trailer looks about as solid as every other Jurassic World movie, so who knows. It comes to theaters on July 2!

First Trailer for Fantastic Four: First Steps!
The first trailer is hear and it looks pretty neat! Fantastic Four: First Steps is Marvel’s first family now in the hands of Marvel Studios, as part of the MCU. I have high hopes for this one, as it seems like the most out-there Marvel release of the year. The trailer looks very standard, in my opinion, but could still be fun.
Looks pretty good. Thing doesn’t look perfect. The action and superhero stuff looks pretty standard. But I still like the vibe of the 1960s. And that one look at Galactus was neat. The whole movie should be a good time and nothing is going to dampen my expectations and excitement!
Fantastic Four: First Steps comes to theaters on July 25!

Episode 5 of Deep Space Discounts!
I haven’t been posting much lately because it has been a desert of content on this interweb! The country is falling apart and the world sucks, and we don’t have any good movie trailers to share. I really need to start working up my own, original content again. And I’m working on that. But we’ve got the first Fantastic Four trailer coming out tomorrow, so that’s exciting!
And we’ve got the fifth episode of Deep Space Discounts! Things get real with this one.
Loved it! Love the drama-building, which will hopefully pay off in a second season. I hope DeepBlueInk is making some kind of bank on this project or on his Patreon and things are going well for the dude. Because he’s made a really fun show. And we’ve got one episode left!

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is right around the corner
This is going to be a big year in video games, and the first major release is coming out on Tuesday. It’s Kingdom Come: Deliverance II! I played the first one years after release and had a great time, even though I never actually finished. And I’m very excited for the sequel…though I probably won’t buy it on launch. I’m still distracting myself with other games.
Anyway, this is a fun game. It’s the Skyrim/Fallout first-person RPG style, but it trades dragons and sorcery for hardcore realism. This is a game where you have to put on every single strap of armor, from underwear to undershirt to padded jerkin to chainmail to breastplate to gloves to socks to boots to gauntlets to leg irons to all sorts of other details. The detail is insane, and that’s what makes it interesting and unique and, in it’s way, very fun!
I will definitely get this one eventually and just want to spread the good word about how much fun these games are. Check it out and try it out! Very fun stuff.
