The Deadpool Trailer Has Finally Arrived!
The first full trailer for the Deadpool movie debuted on Conan last night, and I’m only going to post the Red Band version, because this is the Internet!
I like it…or at least I think I like it. I want to like Deadpool, the character, but he’s attained a strange level of annoying to me in recent years. That’s evident in this trailer, as well as in his monthly comics. It also doesn’t help that I watched the leaked trailer from Comic-Con, so some of the jokes and gags were already spoiled. But the costume looks great, the action looks crazy, and I’m generally a fan of Ryan Reynolds.
I’m also really curious what regular, non-comics reading folks think of this trailer…What’d you henchies think? Yay? Nay? Sound off in them there comments!

6 Things That Will Bring me Back to World of Warcraft
I’m a World of Warcraft addict, and admitting I have a problem is the first step. Fortunately, I’ve been on the wagon for awhile now — but that could change tomorrow, when Blizzard announces the next expansion! Considering the last expansion — Warlords of Draenor — was kind of a bust, and that Warcraft has a huge movie coming out next summer, this new expansion could be a pretty big deal.
Especially since the latest numbers have them bleeding subscribers!
But will it be enough to bring me back into the fold? I avoided Warlords like the plague, and most of the discussion I see online has been negative. So Blizzard has a lot of good will they need to make up. Will they go all out with a huge expansion with new characters, lands and tons of content? Will they pop out a quickie expansion that ties into the movie? The game is still going strong after 10 years, but the players didn’t seem to like Warlords, so Blizzard has their work cut out for them.
But I’m only concerned about myself, and I’m not a player who cares about end-game content like raids or PvP Join me after the jump for a bit of speculation on the new expansion, and six new additions to the game that would probably convince me to re-enlist!
Once Again, Hawkman is Coming to a Live Action DC Show Before Batman, Wonder Woman or Superman
We all know that Hawkgirl is going to be one of the stars of the upcoming Legends of Tomorrow show. Well apparently, DC Comics and The CW are also going to bring her paramour, Hawkman, into the universe with her! Actor Falk Hentschel has been cast as Hawkman, to appear on Arrow and The Flash!
He was hired for his chest, right?
How insane is this? Believe you me, I’m all in favor of expanding The CWverse. But Hawkman? For reals? They’re gonna try to make Hawkman work?!
Remember when he appeared on Smallville?
Not hired for his chest
Hawkman is an inherently silly character. And why couldn’t Hawkgirl stand on her own? Why does she need Hawkman to show up too? I suppose that’s just nit-picking. I’m gonna love seeing both of them when they appear! (Also in random Hawkman news, I totally bought a Hawkman LEGO mini-fig at Boston Comic-Con this weekend! Woot!).
Also, once again, a live action DC TV show (universe) gets Hawkman before it gets Superman, Batman or Wonder Woman, just like in Smallville. This is a pretty backwards way of thinking.
This also means my hopes of adding the Wonder Twins to The CWverse just got a lot brighter!

Sorry for the Long Weekend, Here’s Everything Wrong with The Incredibles!
I love The Incredibles! It’s still my favorite Pixar movie. But Cinema Sins isn’t going to go easy on it!
Sorry about the long weekend! I was at the Boston Comic-Con, spreading the good word about my comic, Gamer Girl & Vixen. It was a nice trip, met some great people, and I love comics even more now! Good times all around!
Also, tune in later today for the first full trailer for the Deadpool movie!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/1/15
Greetings from nearly the Boston Comic-Con! Since these reviews are being posted on Saturday morning, I’m most likely sitting at my desk at work, plugging away and counting down the minutes until I can slip away. Then I’ll be off to the lovely Boston area to hang out with friends and revel in my comic book geekness! Then on Sunday, I’ll be at the Con, passing out flyers for Gamer Girl & Vixen and hopefully having a blast!
But until then, comics! Unfortunately, since it’s a ‘fifth week’, we’ve got a pretty short stack. Nothing from Marvel, a little dip over at Valiant and then two separate Batgirl books!
Batgirl #42 wins Comic Book of the Week for an awesome team up between father and daughter.
The Bat-Family’s current status quo is awesome!
And over at Word of the Nerd, I took a look at the latest issue of Star Wars, which is a fun little peek into the life of Obi-Wan Kenobi on Tatooine. If you’re a Star Wars fan, it’s a darn good read!
Comic Reviews: Batgirl #42, Batgirl Annual #3 and Ninjak #5.
