Warcraft Just Keeps Looking Better and Cooler!
A new, shorter Warcraft trailer/TV spot has arrived online, and it’s pretty amazing. I especially like the opening scene.
That opening was just so gritty and cool. I loved it. Then there was a huge rush of awesomeness.
Except for that brief dwarf appearance midway through. That looked…that looked really CGIish. That’s a little disappointing. But the Warcraft movie could still be a highlight of the summer!

Daredevil Season 2 Arrives Today!
I know what I’ll be doing this weekend.
As far as I’ve seen, all early reviews are very positive! It looks like the quality of Season 1 is going to carry over, and we’re all going to have a great time! Just gotta get through work first…

New X-Men Apocalypse Trailer Goes Epic
Did you know there’s a new X-Men movie out this year? Yeah, they’re tucking it down in there behind all the hype for Captain America: Civil War and Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. It’s called X-Men: Apocalypse, and they are really trying.
I’m probably being a bit harsh on this movie. Not sure why. The X-Men movies have always been fine. But this franchise feels played out. So many better and more nuanced superhero movies and franchises have come along. Do the X-Men really mean anything anymore? They haven’t had a consistent team lineup for several movies.
I dunno, I’m just griping. The trailer was pretty epic and exciting. I just don’t know if the franchise has any more gas in the tank.

A New Comic Book Cartoon Youtube Show Enters Our Lives
Behold the work of Noah Sterling, a comics fan who has taken to animation and Youtube to explain complex and awesome comic book stories in simple form! He’s funny and the work is quality. Here’s his take on Civil War.
Unfortunately, according to his Youtube channel, his videos have been taken down — so watch that one while you can. Sterling explains in a short bit that he works for Marvel, but the videos were his own little project. The popularity of his Civil War video outed his project to Marvel, and they asked him to take down the unlicensed work. Makes sense. But he says he’s going to do some other comics, so we’ll see where things go. Still, fun video.

My 6 Favorite Female Comic Book Characters
Once upon a time, back when I started this blog, one of my first Lists of Six was of my favorite comic book characters of all time. The list is all men, in large part because I settled on my list of favorites back when I was a kid, and Young Sean wasn’t all that interested in female characters. Or facial hair. I didn’t like characters with mustaches for some reason.
So in honor of Women’s History Month, I want to talk about my six favorite female comic book characters.
I need to catch up on A-Force
This is a purely personal list. These are the characters I enjoy reading about, characters whose existence alone will almost guarantee I take a look at a comic. I love seeing them pop up in cartoons and movies. And I’m usually excited to see how their characters grow and change. We all have our favorite characters for one reason or another, and these are some of mine.
Join me after the jump!
