Let’s Enjoy Some Radical Star Wars Animated Bits!
These have been popping up as part of a project for Star Wars Kids and/or Galaxy of Adventures. Something like that. Suffice to say, they are radical as all heck!
Luke Skywalker vs. Darth Vader
Yoda vs. Count Dooku
Here’s hoping we get a bunch more of these. They’re just plain neat.

Super Bowl Teases Avengers: Endgame and Captain Mavel
Thank the universe that we live in a world where all Super Bowl ads show up online almost immediately, so that I don’t have to watch the Super Bowl to get my fix of Avengers: Endgame and Captain Marvel teaser spots.
Both are pretty good!
Captain Marvel comes out at the beginning of March and Avengers: Endgame comes out at the end of April. I like how the Endgame trailers aren’t revealing too much about the plot. Everybody gets together, there are some dire warnings and concerns, but we have no clue yet what’s actually going to happen. I like that.
Also, I think I’ve asked this before, but is anybody seeing the Captain Marvel trailers in front of movies? I go to the movies a lot, especially superhero movies, but I haven’t seen the Captain Marvel trailers play in front of anything. Not Aquaman. Not Into the Spider-Verse. What is going on? Why is nobody playing that trailer?

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 2/2/19
Last week was a wasteland of new comics I like to read, and this week drops a bunch! How do you like them apples, eh? Suffice to say, I had a lot to read and enjoy this week.
Action Comics and Wonder Woman are both enjoyable out of DC, and my opinion starts to change for the better on Heroes in Crisis. Then we’ve got Marvel dropping a solid Ms. Marvel and West Coast Avengers. But the real standout, a true gem of a comic, is the new issue of Unstoppable Wasp. This is a rare game-changer of an issue and easily wins Comic Book of the Week.
This is fine. Everything is fine.
Could be a standout for Comic Book of the Year.
Meanwhile, I read the Alpha issue for Age of X-Man and it looks fine. Pretty bare bones, with more than a few obvious glitches in the manufactured reality. I still haven’t decided how I’ll cover the event. I’m not about to buy and read every single issue…but maybe I won’t buy or review any of them. All I know for sure is that I’m excited to see what Leah Williams does with the Blob.
Comic Reviews: Action Comics #1007, Captain America #7, Heroes in Crisis #5, Ms. Marvel #37, Unstoppable Wasp #4, West Coast Avengers #7 and Wonder Woman #63.
How It Should Have Ended Probably Can’t Help Themselves
I am only one man. With one dinky little blog that I write purely as a hobby. And if you take nothing else away from my ramblings, know that I don’t like it when the How It Should Have Ended cartoons cut to their inane Batman/Superman cafe scenes.
It totally ruins an otherwise awesome Aquaman parody.
These animators have a great gimmick. They are often very funny. And the animation is killer. But stop shooting yourselves in the foot by making every superhero episode cut to Batman and Superman saying the same catch phrases over and over in a cafe! Especially stop making it the bulk of your gorram episode!
There I was, waiting to see how they planned to “really” end Aquaman…only for Batman to swoop in and make their jokes and ruin the moment. Not cool, people.

6 Marvel/DC Crossovers I Want to Read
Longtime comic book artist George Perez announced his retirement the other day, and it got me thinking about Marvel and DC crossovers. Perez is a legend in the industry, and he single-handedly drew every issue of the JLA/Avengers crossover a few years ago, in which Perez drew pretty much every superhero who had ever been a member of either team. The man was prolific and awesome.
Needs more Darkclaw
Marvel and DC have had a bunch of crossovers over the years, and I’ve read my fair share. I was big into Marvel vs. DC back in the 90s, especially the Amalgam Comics crossover that resulted. There are also plenty of stand alone crossovers, like that one story where Batman and Captain America team up in the 1940s, or the Silver Surfer meets Kyle Rayner comic from back in the day, or the X-Men meet the Teen Titans. There’s plenty of crossovers, and I’ve got some of my own I’d like to see!
Join me after the jump for six Marvel/DC crossovers that would make for some pretty fun comics.
