New Deadpool 2 Trailer Makes the Case for New Deadpool Shorts All the Time
There’s a new, full-sized trailer for Deadpool 2 today, and it’s all manner of hilarious. Seriously, we need more Deadpool stuff all the time, this is so good.
Wasn’t that great? Man, what a good looking movie. The humor is on point like so few things. These trailers have been works of comedic art in their own right. I want more trailers! And I don’t want the movie to end!
Deadpool 2 will be in theaters on May 18!

The 6 High-Flyingest Eagle Characters in Comics
Sports, go sports! The Philadelphia Eagles pulled off an upset victory at the Super Bowl this past weekend, and I couldn’t care less. I kid, I kid, but I don’t particularly care about sports or football! I didn’t watch the Super Bowl. But it’s a big, important game, and therefore quality fodder for a post-Super Bowl List of Six!
Freedom! K-kaw!
Eagles are the symbol of America, and are a pretty badass bird in their own right. So you’d think there’d be a lot more eagle-based superheroes. But that’s not really the case! But you can count on me to scour the internet and the back-issue bins to find the six coolest eagle-based characters in comics!
Oh Yeah, There Was a New Avengers: Infinity War TV Spot!
I got lazy yesterday and only posted the Solo trailers. But the Super Bowl also gave us this awesome new bit about Avengers: Infinity War!
Hecks yeah! The movie still looks great and there’s everything in the world to look forward to. And to make things even better, we’ve still got Black Panther to look forward to in a week! Good times all around!

Solo: A Star Wars Story is Probably Going to Be Fine (Updated)
UPDATE: Here’s the full trailer! My thoughts below remain the same.
I’ve mentioned this before, and it bears repeating, but I don’t care about Solo: A Star Wars Story. I find it hilarious that we’re 3 months away from the movie and are only now getting any sort of trailer, in the same way I find the Dark Universe hilarious. I just don’t think this was a good idea for a Star Wars anthology movie. There’s no improving on Han Solo.
But hey, here’s the Super Bowl trailer.
It looks fine. It’s got all the necessary Han Solo-y stuff in it. And there’s even a touch of comedic craziness. So it’s probably going to be a fine movie that we all generally enjoy in the theaters in a few months.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 2/3/18
This was a weird week in comics. Some weeks, all my favorites come out and I get flooded with so many fun comics to review! And then we get weeks like this one, where none of the new Marvel Comics are ones that I read, or that I’m so far behind on that I can’t review, like All-New Wolverine (which remains excellent). And since it was a Fifth Wednesday, DC mostly put out Annuals, which I’m never all-too thrill to review. The Detective Comics Annual has an origin for James Tynion’s Clayface, so at least there’s that.
But of regular, meat and potatoes comics that I actually read, there was really only the new issue of Harley Quinn for me this week! It’s an improvement over the previous issue, but I’m going to give Comic Book of the Week to the first issue of The Silencer, one of DC’s new wave of titles. I applaud DC for releasing a wave of comics with almost entirely new characters — even if I haven’t been too tickled by the lineup personally. The Silencer could be fun, though.
New comic!
Honestly, All-New Wolverine should have won. I’ll get back to reviewing it next issue.
Meanwhile, I really, really don’t care for Dark Nights: Metal, which saw a new issue drop this week. It thinks it’s so clever, fiddling with DC continuity on the fly and treating it like kibble for fanboys. But DC continuity is so malleable right now, after the New 52 and Rebirth, that none of this stuff matters. Martian Manhunter shows up in a surprise appearance, and I was left scratching my head as to when the last time Martian Manhunter mattered or had solid continuity. How is his sudden arrival supposed to mean anything if we don’t know where he’s arriving from? Or why his arrival is sudden?
It’s stuff like that, plus the general idea that the villains are just a vague, omnipresent evil that can be anywhere, do anything and beat anybody…until they can’t and the heroes win. No thanks.
