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!

It’s Basically Just Game of Thrones By Way of Bohemian Rhapsody
The inventive people at VG934 have done a mash-up between Game of Thrones and one of the Suicide Squad trailers…but in the end, it’s really just some awesome Game of Thrones footage cut to the powerful strains of Bohemian Rhapsody. And that’s alright.
Watch out for Season 6 spoilers, in case you haven’t seen those episodes yet.
Sometimes trailer mash-ups are really clever and well done. And sometimes you just make a really awesome video about one thing. That’s good too.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 7/9/16
Wow, so, uh, for the first time in the history of my doing this blog, I forgot to post these comic book reviews this morning. I had them all written up and almost ready to go, but I woke up Saturday morning and thought to myself…nothing. I forgot all about them. Then I downloaded Pokemon Go and went for a walk around the city. Well, you understand what that would have done to me. Still, not an excuse! These are super late, and I hope they’re still good!
I tried out Kim & Kim from Black Mask Studios. I read through both Amazing Spider-Man and adjectiveless Spider-Woman. And I even gave both Batman and Punisher a try. Pretty standard week of comics, if I do say so myself.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Silver Surfer #5, because it is still a very delightful comic book.
In this issue, Silver Surfer meets the Amish
Comic Reviews: Amazing Spider-Man #15, Batman #2, Invincible Iron Man #11, Kaijumax #3, Kim & Kim #1, Punisher #3, Silver Surfer #5 and Spider-Woman #9.
Big Hero Six is Still Mostly Cool
Honestly though, I mostly still like it.
Of the recent Disney animated movies, Big Hero Six is not my favorite. But it’s still good, and I can definitely get behind the team-up of Marvel and Disney making movies together. I still wanted an animated Silver Surfer film like this. It would be beyond epic. At least the Screen Junkies are here to tease the movies that do exist.
