Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/28/17
Happy Halloween! The most spooktacular holiday of the year is right around the corner, and if you’re reading this on Saturday, I’m right in the middle of some solid celebrations! I have two costumes this year: Walmart is selling giant animal mascot heads for only $20, so I snagged me a rabbit head! And then I’m going to a zombie party tonight! Should be fun!
But I also had comics to read! And they were pretty much spectacular across the board this week, I was amazed! I wanted to give everything a super high score! From Amazing Spider-Man to Detective Comics to Power Rangers! But I would be remiss if the final issue of the Slott/Allred Silver Surfer didn’t blow me away. Comic Book of the Week for sure!
I hope the Silver Surfer is too!
Perhaps even Comic Book of the Year! I was worried they wouldn’t stick the landing, but oh man, Slott and Co. were saving something really, really special for this final issue. Something that pretty much tied the entire damn story together. My hat is off to the creative team of Silver Surfer. This was a masterpiece from beginning to end.
Comic Reviews: Amazing Spider-Man #790, Batgirl #16, Detective Comics #967, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #20 and Silver Surfer #14.
I Like This Guy Much Better Than Cinemas Sins
I used to watch a lot of Cinema Sins and share them on my blog. There were some I liked, but there were also times when I felt they just didn’t get it. Then bobvids came along and showed me the truth: they don’t get it.
Here’s bobvids doing it again!
I think I’ll just share bobvids from now on. They’re much more entertaining.

Runaways Finally Gets a Really Good Trailer
I didn’t care for the first trailer we had for the upcoming Runaways TV show. Thankfully, we’ve randomly got a second one! It’s much better!
We also get a bunch of special effects shots, so that’s cool. I’m excited for the show. I think I’ve heard good things. And I’ve even heard that they might address the Tina Minoru connection to the Doctor Strange movie! That would be great!

Bright Keeps Looking Better and Better
Bright looks amazing. It’s a fantasy movie, complete with orcs, elves, magic wands and more, but it’s set in the modern day. I don’t know why more fantasy stories aren’t told with modern trappings.
Will Smith is in this, which is neat. But Joel Edgerton is playing the main orc! Do you know who that is? I had to look him up. Edgerton played Owen Lars in the Star Wars prequels! Good to know that guy is still getting work.
