Epic Arrow Trailer is Epic
The first trailer for the next season of Arrow has hit the Internet, and it’s pretty neat! We’ve got Oliver Queen, Speedy, Diggle’s new costume, some bad guys, some action, Felicity’s new sidekick and some awesome Felicity stuff! It’s everything you could want!
Looks pretty awesome! I’m excited for the new season, but there are so many superhero shows these days, especially spinning off from Arrow, that it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Still, I’m excited to see what they do with Speedy.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 9/5/15
Somehow, fate finds a way to balance the scales. Last week, I reviewed nearly a dozen comics all piled into one New Comics Day! This week, I had to scrape and scrounge to find some interesting comics to talk about. And they’re all Marvel, that’s always a hoot.
I went back to last week and snagged my copy of Hank Johnson: Agent of Hydra, by popular request. I also picked up Mockingbird #1, a special issue celebrating the anniversary of SHIELD. And Comic Book of the Week goes to Silk #7, the last issue before the Secret Wars break, for a pretty good wrap-up of the first story arc.
Never a dull moment!
Over at Word of the Nerd, I continue the lack of content with a look at House of M #2. It’s a pretty boring comic, despite involving two rebellions, an angry Scarlet Witch and Fin Fang Foom.
Comic Reviews: Hank Johnson: Agent of Hydra #1, Mockingbird #1, Silk #7, and Silver Surfer #14.
It’s a Wacky Robots Sort of Morning
The Internet is full of short films of varying quality. Some are made for fun, some are made for superhero parody, and some are made as part of a school project. Say hello to Wire Cutters! It’s cute. And kinda dark.
Kudos to Jack Anderson for making such a fine piece of work. According to the video, he was a finalist in a bunch of different competitions, and won some awards even. Good times!

Misty Knight Secretly Cast in the Upcoming Luke Cage TV Show!
Casting announcements have been flying around the past week or so for the upcoming Luke Cage show on Netflix, and while I didn’t really know any of the characters or actors announced, we’ve finally got a live one here! It seems that the show will feature Misty Knight, another established superhero in the Marvel Universe!
Misty Knight will be played by actor Simone Missick, who I’ve never heard of, but I’m sure will do a fine job. Marvel and Netflix have this casting thing down pat!
Hopefully the robotic arm will be included
Deadline made the catch after a casting call listed the character as ‘Missy’.
Misty Knight is a badass former cop who lost an arm in the line of duty, then had it replaced by Tony Stark with an awesome bionic arm. No word on whether or not the bionic arm will also be in the show, but adding Misty Knight to the Netflix universe sounds awesome to me! And perhaps she’ll guest star in the eventual Iron Fist series, since they’re romantic partners in the comics.

Batmetal Returns!
Get your head-banging ready, because Batmetal Returns! Beware some pretty strong content.
Batman and the Robins singing a death metal song from Dethklok? Hot damn! That’s high quality kickassery, I tells you what! Kudos to ArhyBES for whipping out another awesome video. And if you liked this one, feel free to go back and watch their previous Batmetal video from last year.
