6 Comic Book Characters With the Power of Love
The season of love is upon us once again, and like all good holidays or random days of the week, I’m gonna re-contextualize it to be about comic books! That’s how I roll, my friends. That is indeed how I roll. And this year, I’ve gathered up the six best characters in comics with the literal power of love!
Or at least ‘Heart’
Sometimes it’s all about manipulating pheromones. Sometimes it’s about magic. And sometimes you create an an entire army of pink-clad women to spread love throughout the galaxy. We take all comers here in Henchie Love Central. So sit back, settle in and join me after the jump for the best Valentine’s Day article you’re going to read all week!
All Those New Movie Trailers from the Super Bowl
Just like every year, the Super Bowl featured a whole bunch of nifty trailers for this year’s movies. They’re all pretty great. I love me some movies. Let’s run them down, shall we?
Captain America: Civil War
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows
The Jungle Book
Jason Bourne
Independence Day: Resurgence
X-Men: Apocalypse

Ant-Man’s First Interaction with the MCU…in a Coke Commercial
I didn’t watch the Super Bowl, I didn’t see any of the commercials in real time. But it doesn’t matter, because this Coca Cola/Marvel commercial would have won hands down.
Ant-Man’s first interaction with the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is in a Coke commercial. This is not a criticism. We live in a world where Ant-Man and the Hulk can appear in full live action, with amazing special effects, in a TV commercial. They are part of the mainstream. This is normal, and it’s awesome.
Ant-Man and the freakin’ Hulk!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 2/6/16
This might be the weirdest comic review article of my long blogging career. I don’t want to spoil anything, but the latest issue of Batgirl really hits home for me in a lot of weird ways. Especially when you consider it features a villain who can read and alter minds…but you’ll have to read on to find out what I mean!
Beyond the new Batgirl, this was a solid, enjoyable week of comics. We got new Iron Man and Captain Marvel comics, as well as Miles Morales’ debut in the regular Marvel Universe! I was against this idea from the beginning, but the execution isn’t half bad.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Doctor Strange #5. Writer Jason Aaron is hitting it out of the park with this opening storyline! I hope the Doctor Strange movie is even half this cool.
Atlantean Black Magic!
I’m sure Benedict Cumberbatch can pull this off.
Comic Reviews: Batgirl #48, Captain Marvel #2, Deadpool & The Mercs for Money #1, Doctor Strange #5, Invincible Iron Man #6 and Spider-Man #1.
