Looks like a solid, fun cast to me! We’re all super excited about this movie, right? It’s gonna be the bomb diggity and the bee’s knees all at once! And tiny Groot looks adorable.

Ghostbusters Review is on the Way!
I saw the new Ghosbusters movie last night and really enjoyed it. I’ll have a review up later today, but until then, enjoy this Honest Trailer of Ghostbusters 2.
For the record, I enjoyed Ghostbusters 2 when I was a kid. Nothing wrong with that movie.

6 Pop Culture Characters I Love For No Particular Reason
I think this blog is testament to the fact that I am a pop culture aficionado. I love movies, TV shows, books, comics, video games and all manner of storytelling and fiction. I hope to be a fiction writer myself some day, and am even working on my own comic book. And like all good people of this Earth, I have my favorite characters in my favorite media.
But sometimes, those favorites don’t make much sense.
Go, Green Ranger, go go!
Leonardo is my favorite Ninja Turtle because of his noble spirit and badass katana blades. The Green Ranger is my favorite Power Ranger because he was this cool, rebellious sixth Ranger. Multiple Man is my favorite superhero because I like his sense of humor, and because he was one of the characters who helped usher young Sean into a better understanding of superhero comics. I love Robin the Boy Wonder because I’ve always considered myself more of a sidekick than a leader, especially when compared to some of my more alpha male friends back in my youth.
But there are some characters out there whom I love passionately, but have no legitimate reason why. Join me after the jump to find out who!
Look at Kid Flash Bein’ All Fancy Pants in his Fancy Pants
The first images of the Kid Flash costume have debuted online today for The Flash TV show on The CW…and they look pretty great. Actor Keiynan Lonsdale has not yet suited up or even gotten speed powers in the regular show, but the start of Season 3 is said to include a ton of shake-ups.
Do people really look like that when they run?
Based on what happened when we first saw the Flash costume at the start of the show, I think they’re going to start filming Kid Flash soon, and The CW would rather get ahead of the reveal than have set snoopers blow everything by leaking pics from the set online. Makes sense to me. I like Wally West on the show, and I hope he makes for a cool Kid Flash.
Though are they going to call him ‘Kid Flash’? That name doesn’t make any sense in the context of the universe. Wally West is hardly a kid, and Barry Allen isn’t that much older than him.
It really is a sweet costume
Though does that opening at the top of his head really work when he doesn’t have a big head of hair to stick out? That dip down into the forehead also looks a little weird…

A Prowler Comic is Coming!
The new Marvel comic lineup has been trickling out onto the Internet this month, but the dam broke and everything flooded through yesterday — which probably isn’t what Marvel wanted. Normally I might wait for their official word, but this is too exciting to ignore.
Prowler is getting his own ongoing series!
I like the new costume
I love Prowler. He’s one of my obscure favorite superheroes. Everybody has them. And I’m super excited to see the Prowler get some comic book time. The series will be written by Sean Ryan, with art by Jamal Campbell. I’m not familiar with either of them, but I’ll have high hopes anyway. Though hopefully the series isn’t going to be about some new loser taking over the Prowler costume and burying the regular Prowler.
There are a bunch of other leaked covers here, in case you want to check out what else is coming down the pipeline. Don’t worry, Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, Patsy Walker a.k.a. Hellcat and Power Man and Iron Fist are all coming back!
