A Nice, Fun, LEGO Ghostbusters Way to Hopefully Start a Sad Monday

LEGOs are awesome. The Ghostbusters are awesome. When they come together, and when the Internet applies its magic, we get videos like this one.

Major props to the fine people at digitalwizards for this digital masterpiece.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/11/16

Huh, what a week. After a few comic weeks full of great and wonderful comics, we’ve kind of landed on a thudder of a week. Some fine comics came out, some enjoyable, some not so much. I read a bunch and generally had a good time. But this was kind of an off week.

Aquaman and Wonder Woman got the Rebirth treatment, but neither issue wowed me in any way. Flash has started Rebirth as well, but for some reason, I still can’t bring myself to buy a Flash comic. It’s fascinating to me how few DC superheroes I’m actually invested in. Where’s Robin Rebirth? I guess Tim Drake’s revival in Detective Comics will have to do!

But it wasn’t all bad news this week! We’ve got the first issue of the Gotham Academy/Lumberjanes crossover! It’s not as amazing as I’d hoped, but it’s still a sign of hopefully great things to come! And it definitely picks up Comic Book of the Week!

Something wonderful!

Now we just need a Lumberjanes/Unbeatable Squirrel Girl crossover and I’ll be all set!

Comic Reviews: Aquaman Rebirth #1, Detective Comics #934, Kaijumax #2, Lumberjanes/Gotham Academy #1 and Wonder Woman Rebirth #1.

Talk a Walk Down Warcraft Memory Lane!

The Warcraft movie is out and it’s getting terrible reviews! That might dull its success in America, but it’s killing overseas! Hope for a sequel remains! I won’t see the film until Saturday night, but until then, we can always count on the Honest Trailers folks to have some fun.

Those take me back. I’ve played Warcraft since the very beginning. Such a fun game! I hope to enjoy the movie.

Cap and Black Widow Duke It Out in Deleted Storyboards

Here’s a little bit more Captain America: Civil War for all of us to enjoy! It’s a deleted scene featuring a scuffle between Captain America and Black Widow, animated with unused storyboards.

Big thanks and props to storyboard artist Darrin Denlinger for putting together this little bit of animation. It looks like it would have been a fun fight!

6 Things I Want to See in Future Warcraft Movies

For the Horde! Lok’tar ogar! Get pumped, get excited! The Warcraft movie hits theaters this weekend, and I am chomping at the felboar’s bit to see it! Warcraft is in my blood. My brother, father and I have all been playing Warcraft since the very beginning, back when I was a wee henchman. I live for the Warcraft lore, so a big screen, live action adaptation is the sort of movie I’ve been waiting for!

I really hope it’s good.

Please be good!

It’s getting high marks overseas, which is nice. But it’s not about superheroes, and for once in my geeky life, I’m actually worried about that. I think the trailers have been excellent. The CGI looks amazing. The story and the characters could be something special. Heck, I don’t just want Warcraft to be good, I want it to succeed!

I want a whole franchise! I want a ton of sequels! I want them to plumb the depths of Warcraft lore and deliver everything I’ve ever loved about the series. Join me after the jump for a few specifics!
