Killing Time Before a New Avengers Trailer…
There’s supposed to be a new trailer dropping today for Avengers: Infinity War! But since I’ll be out of the office for most of the morning, followed by a dentist appointment in the afternoon, so I don’t know when I’ll have time to sit down and watch it, let alone share it on the blog! But I’m gonna try!
Until then, here’s the Honest Trailer for the movie Bright!
I really enjoyed Bright and don’t understand why it’s getting so much hate. It’s a pretty cool action movie with fantasy ideas put in the modern day. I’ve always wanted to see more of that premise and I thought Bright pulled it off nicely! I really enjoyed it, so there, universe!

6 Thoughts on the Second Season of Jessica Jones
I did not like the second season of Jessica Jones. I kind of hated almost everything about it. I am honestly going to sit here and tell you that I found it less entertaining than Iron Fist. You are more than welcome to disagree with me. I hope you enjoyed this season of television. But I did not. Oh man, I did not.
TV Rating: 3/10 – Bad.
I loved the first season of Jessica Jones. It was gripping, exciting, had a very important message and starred some really awesome characters, Jessica Jones especially. So the fact that most, if not all, of the same people could return and make this horrible season is mind-boggling! How did it go so wrong? Why did anybody think this was a good TV show? How can they mess it up this much after such a stellar first season?
Join me after the jump for my thoughts and review on the second season of Jessica Jones! Warning, there will be FULL SPOILERS from the show. And please share your own thoughts on the show in the comments!
Dumbledore? More like ‘DumbleMORE please!’
I’m basically saying that Jude Law seems pretty suave and cool as a young Albus Dumbledore in this first trailer for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.
I enjoyed the first film, and am a huge fan of Harry Potter, so I’m definitely on board for this sequel. I never did write that blog post about how Newt Scamander doesn’t actually do anything to effect the main plot of the first film. Maybe I will before this sequel arrives on Nov. 16.

Strong Guy Watch: Wedding Bells
Strong Guy keeps getting invited to X-Men weddings. This is a minor update to my Strong Guy Watch because I saw that he gets a pretty prominent place on X-Men Gold #30, the big issue that will feature the wedding of Colossus and Kitty Pryde. How lucky for him that he gets to be a random background X-Man at such an auspicious occasion!
Superhero costumes are apparently proper wedding attire
I’m glad that someone at Marvel remembered how great a visual Strong Guy is in crowd scenes.
I want somebody to write a day-in-the-life of Strong Guy short story at Marvel. What does this guy get up to? He’s not a member of any of the active X-Men squads, yet he’s always in team shots these days. Is he a teacher at the new school? Does he have a separate life and just gets called in for big X-Men events? It’s fascinating!
This is actually Strong Guy’s second X-Men wedding. He was invited to Scott and Jean’s wedding back in the 1990s, too!
Sometimes tuxes and suits work just fine
Like I said, he keeps getting invited to X-Men weddings. I think it’s neat.
Though he didn’t get invited to Northstar’s wedding. Maybe he wasn’t a very prominent character back then.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 3/10/18
I’ve decided to give Gwenpool a try. I had very little use for that weird Gwen Stacy fetish that popped up a couple years ago, but all of the clippings I’ve seen of the Gwenpool comic have seemed pretty amazing. So the first tpb is on order! I’ll let you all know how it goes.
Meanwhile, in regular comic land, it’s a pretty sad week. We must say goodbye to two of my favorites, Hawkeye and Iceman, the latter of which earns Comic Book of the Week! I’ll miss them both!
Ice solves everything
Marvel’s Countdown to Infinity kicked off this week and I couldn’t care even a single iota. I didn’t read the issue and I keep skipping all these single page “Where is Wolverine” bits that show up at the end of comics. Just like Civil War II, this reeks of being a slapped-together event to tie into the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War movie. I don’t care.
I do care about Kelly Thompson’s Rogue & Gambit mini-series, which remains awesome! I hope they keep her around the X-Men franchise!
Comic Reviews: Amazing Spider-Man #797, Batman #42, Hawkeye #16, Iceman #11 and X-Men Red #2.
