Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/17/15
Another week, another new batch of All-New, All-Different Marvel comics! I’d love to read and review every single one, but I’m a busy man, especially this week. Did you hear about that murder at the church in upstate New York? That’s right in my backyard, and as the local newspaper reporter, I’m all over that stuff!
Fortunately, I still found time to read some new comics! And it was another good week! I scoped out the first issues of Chewbacca and New Avengers, and enjoyed a few of my favorites from DC Comics, like Starfire and Harley Quinn. But the clear standout and winner of Comic Book of the Week is Ms. Marvel #19.
Was there really any doubt?
It’s the end of the world, and they know it
I can’t wait for this series to come back from hiatus!
Comic Reviews: Batman #45, Batman and Robin Eternal #2, Chewbacca #1, Harley Quinn #21, Ms. Marvel #19, New Avengers #1 and Starfire #5.
Fallout 4 is a Wanderer
Fallout 4 is right around the corner, people! I may still be buried in the new DLC for Witcher 3 (it’s awesome), but I have been suffering from a case of sequelitis for years! And 4 is a bigger number than 3!
Good trailer! And good times! Anybody else getting excited for Fallout 4? I was king of the wasteland in the previous two games and can’t wait!

I’ll Believe’em When I See’em
Yesterday’s comic news cornucopia was abuzz with announcements of a Godzilla vs. Kong movie, a Y: The Last Man TV show and two official X-Men shows about Legion and the Hellfire Club. The news was everywhere.
But here’s the thing: I’ll believe’em when I see’em.
And this is one I really want to see!
All of these announcements could be true…or they could just be the same type of announcement we always get. Where’s the Booster Gold TV show that was announced? Where are the Lobo and Metal Men and Justice League Dark movies that were announced? Where’s the Y: The Last Man movie that was announced?
The only project I actually believe will happen is Godzilla vs. Kong, but even then, I’m skeptical. These announcements happen all the time and few of them ever come to pass. So by all means, they can announce whatever they want. But let’s see them put their money where their announcements are!
Also, seriously, Legion and the Hellfire Club?! FOX has access to the entire X-Men library and they chose the two dumbest things to make shows out of? Where’s my X-Factor detective show, dammit?!

My 6 Favorite Sports Teams (And Why)
I don’t care for sports. I don’t watch them. I don’t follow them. I’m a geek. All the knowledge that would go to memorizing sport stats instead goes to knowing X-Men stats. Sports just ain’t my thing and I’m totally fine with that. My mom still thinks I’m OK.
Do the sports! Win the points!
But I do have favorite sports teams. If you were to point at a popular national sport, I could probably definitely name a team I ‘like’ or ‘root for’, as is the proper vernacular. Most people pick their favorite sports teams based on geography or legacy or any number of normal reasons. I’m probably a little bit different.
With baseball winding down and football winding up, I’ve decided to finally put all my cards on the table about me and sports. Join me after the jump to take a gander at my favorite sports teams!
Jurassic World Wasn’t that Great, You Guys
Honestly. It was OK when I saw it, but in hindsight, it’s going downhill.
Honest Trailers nailed it with this video. So many perplexing questions and issues! But a movie like Jurassic World isn’t about logic, darn it! It’s about dinosaurs! Which again begs the question of why there aren’t more dinosaur movies. Does the Jurassic franchise own dinosaurs, or something?
