One Last Look at New Arcane!
Arcane is coming back for it’s second and final season next month, and the world is excited. The first season was ground-breaking television and all levels of awesome. So one imagines a second season — with the promise of a solid wrap up — could be even better! How will that be possible? We’ll find out!
Anyway, here’s a new season 2 trailer! No major twists or spoilers, other than general trailer stuff.
Looks awesome! Looks like Arcane! Looks like we’re all going to have a good time in November.
God, I hope so…
Arcane returns to Netflix on Nov. 9, with three episodes per week again, I think.

Another Look at Creature Commandos
New York City Comic-Con was this past week end and we sadly didn’t get many cool new trailers! We know that Daredevil: Born Again will come out in March, but they haven’t publicly released the trailer! Shame! One trailer we did get was a new look at the Creature Commandos cartoon from James Gunn and DC! So that’s exciting enough.
I think this show looks great. I love the work of James Gunn, loved his Suicide Squad, loved his Peacemaker, so I’m fully on board for this zany cartoon that will — possibly — bridge all these shows and movies? It’s definitely kicking off the new DCU, so there’s that. But until then, it’s just gonna be a zany cartoon, and I’m down for that as well!
Creature Commandos comes to MAX on Dec. 5.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/19/24
Here we are in the middle of October and nothing to show for it but some comic book reviews. Oh well. This week sees the first issue of Mystique and the last issue of Tom Taylor’s Nightwing, among other things.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Wonder Woman #14 because I feel like this comic is on a whole different level and it’s not fair to the other comics I’m reviewing.
Meanwhile, I beat Star Wars: Outlaws, and I posted my review/thoughts this past week. The game won’t be missed. In the aftermath, I’ve started getting back into Baldur’s Gate 3. A lot of clean-up patches have come out since I last played a year ago (finally saw the epilogues!) and I’ve decided to maybe finish off a character I dropped and start a new one with a friend. Should be fun.
Comic Reviews: Mystique #1, Nightwing #118, Ultimate Spider-Man #10 and Wonder Woman #14.
Read the rest of this entryBehold, the LEGO X-Mansion
Finally, at long last, the LEGO X-Mansion set has been officially revealed. It has been rumored for the past year, and I’ve already seen all these pictures because they were leaked over the past week. But it’s official now. It’s up on the LEGO website. We can check this baby out in all its glory!
If I’m being totally honest, I don’t think it’s great. I don’t usually like building sets from LEGO. I’m more of a vehicles guy. But this X-Mansion appears to be based directly on the one from the Animated Series, so I’m a little more open to it. I guess I just thought it would be grander somehow…but I do like that Sentinel. Nice addition.
The mini-figures are OK. I like the inclusion of Iceman, despite him not being a part of the cartoon (yet). I haven’t bought any other X-Men sets, so none of these will be repeats for me…though they are missing the Beast that was included in those blind packs last year. I’ll have to pick him up separately.
Honestly, I dig it and I bet it will grow on me. And hopefully it’s the start of many more X-Men sets to come.
The LEGO X-Mansion will release on Nov. 4. I have a LEGO store near me, so I might go camp out and try to get it on Day One…except now I’m seeing that it’s a Monday. Dang. May have to wait until the weekend. We’ll see. At the very least, it’s finally revealed, we can all look at that beautiful thing. And we can all hope and imagine we get many more X-Men figures and sets in the future!
