The Avengers Be Looking Dope
Avengers: Infinity War comes out next year and it’s bound to be pretty awesome! I have just as high hopes as I have for any upcoming Marvel movie. And in a partnership with magazine Vanity Fair, we’ve got our first official look at the whole team! They all look pretty stellar.
Here’s hoping we get that first trailer soon! Probably ahead of Star Wars.

Sesame Street Does Stranger Things!
Sesame Street puts out a really sweet parody bit every couple of years. They’re fun, silly and just plain cool. One hopes the kids really appreciate the care and attention that goes into this Stranger Things parody. Or maybe it’s meant for Internet nerds like me.
Either way, it’s a delightful way to start a Monday. And all of that rhymed, so Sesame Street would approve!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 11/25/17
We’ve got one of those weird, outlier, DC-only weeks again! I will gladly admit that I prefer Marvel Comics, but in an effort to be in any way impartial, I do keep trying to read more DC for these reviews! And this week is all DC Comics (with one non-Marvel exception).
We’ve got really fun issues of Detective Comics and Harley Quinn, but the real winner this week is the new issue of Batgirl. It had a lot of great moments, earning it Comic Book of the Week!
He’s a good mentor
Normally this is where I would review the latest issue of the Big Event, but I’ve decided to shake things up and actually review the individual Doomsday Clock issues. It’s a sequel to Watchmen, so I figure I owe it to…I dunno, the comic book gods? Either way, look below for my review of Doomsday Clock!
Comic Reviews: Batgirl #17, Detective Comics #969, Doomsday Clock #1, Harley Quinn #32 and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #21.
Happy Thanksgiving from Rick and Morty, I Think
So I was back home with family for Thanksgiving, meaning I didn’t have time to post anything good on my blog yesterday. Fortunately, I’m back now and there’s a fun, if sad, little video about Mr. Poopybutthole! I love that guy.
Good for him! And kudos to Rick and Morty for thinking of the holiday season!

6 Thoughts on Justice League
Just in time for DC to stop caring about a connected cinematic universe comes Justice League, the big screen gathering of some of DC Comics’ greatest superheroes! Coming after the great Wonder Woman solo film and the horrendous Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice team film, Justice League appears to be an attempt to course correct and just make a nice movie for once. I think they succeeded!
Movie Rating: 6/10 – Pretty Good
I liked Justice League better than I expected to. I went in with very low expectations, but had to remind myself in the theater to stop looking for things to dislike and to just sit back and enjoy the film. I’m glad I did.
I don’t know everything about the jumbled creation of this Justice League film, but it’s worth noting that director Zack Snyder had to back out during post-produciton due to a family crisis, and Joss Whedon stepped in to fix it up. I’m still a big Whedon fan, so that was solid news. But there’s also the fact that there were extensive reshoots, a lot of reports of recalibrating the film to be more likable, and the fact that it was originally pitched as a two-parter, but has since been pared down to just the one film. That’s a pretty rocky road to the cinema.
But I’m not one to hold any of that against a film! Join me after the jump for my list-based review of the Justice League movie! Expect FULL SPOILERS! And I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
