Ingvard the Tumblr Redesigns Female Superheroes
Welcome to Monday, everybody! It appears to be a somewhat quiet Monday so far, not a lot going on. So I thought I’d share this cool artwork I stumbled upon in my Internet surfing. An artist named Invgard the Terrible has redesigned a bunch of female superhero costumes, with explanations for his ideas. They look darn cool.
You can check out a bunch more at his Tumblr, just follow the link. I need to start featuring more art.

I’m Not Sure Why the Ant-Man Movie Doesn’t Do More With Its Dad Angle
Ant-Man is a single father, and that’s pretty rare when it comes to these superhero movies. I’m not sure why Marvel aren’t focusing on that a bit more in the marketing.
Possibly because they just want to focus on the action and humor? Does that stand a better chance of getting butts into seats? Maybe! But Cassie Lang looks adorable in this movie.
Happy Father’s Day, too!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/20/15
Sometimes I just can’t help myself. There are weeks when I tell myself to keep the Hench-Sized reviews under control, that you fine readers can’t handle me rambling for so long and so intensely! But this week was filled with great comics! DC continues to pump out some fun titles with their rebranding, and a few of my favorite indie comics were in my stack. This was a good week.
Comic Book of the Week was a hard one, but I think I’m going to give it to Justice League of America #1. The new series is written and drawn by Bryan Hitch, and is a great example of DC’s new style. Bucking the constraints of up-to-the-minute continuity, the new Justice League is just a straight forward, fun adventure by my favorite comic book artist. It’s a good launch.
Everybody loves diplomatic sessions
Unfortunately, Marvel Comics remains mired in Secret Wars. Even the great Ms. Marvel is now tied into that event. I skipped that new issue this week before it’s basically just Kamala Khan running around trying to be a hero while the world falls apart. The next issue is the one to watch out for, when she finally teams up with Captain Marvel!
Speaking of Secret Wars, I took a look at Squadron Sinister #1 at Word of the Nerd. It’s pretty much a dud.
Comic Reviews: Black Canary #1, Justice League of America #1, Kaijumax #3, Lumberjanes #15, Prez #1, Robin: Son of Batman #1 and Secret Six #3.
Aminals in Space Be Funny!
Here’s a neat little something to tide us all over on this dreary Friday.
Animation rules. That little video was produced by Li Wen Toh for a class at the California Institute for the Arts. Student films are probably pretty awesome these days, thanks to computers!

Did You Hear They’re Making a Third Kung Fu Panda?
I like the Kung Fu Panda series. I like the first movie, I like the second movie, and I’m jazzed for a third movie. What’s not to love? They’re fun and funny films, with a really likable cast and great moments. That ‘there is no secret ingredient’ moment at the end of the first movie is phenomenal, as is the cannonball sequence at the end of the second. Just gorgeous.
So what will the third movie bring?
Bryan Cranston!
Though I’m a little confused why Kung Fu Panda 3 would come out in January. That’s a movie dead zone. Do they not have any faith in this movie? Is the Kung Fu Panda series not a tentpole franchise? Or is Hollywood trying to make January movies a thing now?
Also, if you’re so interested, a Chinese trailer was also released which shows a ton more footage, some of it pretty amazing. Bryan Cranston is great, and all, but check out the action in this trailer.
Now that’s a Kung Fu Panda movie!
