Cracked Talks Henchmen!
Everybody here reads Cracked, right? I love that site. Best way to get through the day.
They raise some good points. Personally, I think I’m down with the corporate job over the beachfront resort. I’ve never been much of a beach guy. Though if I was going to hench, I’d want a gig where I got my own costume and weaponry and cool stuff like that. It’s not about the money, it’s about love of the job.

Big Day Today, So Here Are Some Apes Firing Machine Guns While Riding Horses
Big day today here in Henchman Land! No, my blog isn’t up for Awesomest Blog of the Year or anything like that. I’ve got some personal business today that could change everything! Or if it falls through, I might end up in a sadness spiral the likes of which only binging on ice cream and cartoons can cure. So wish me luck!
In other news, let’s start off this week with some Cinema Sins. They can always be counted on for a good time. Here we have Everything Wrong With Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.
I don’t know about you, but I’ve really enjoyed these Apes movies. I’ve never seen the original, and I think I was OK with Tim Burton’s remake, but these new ones have been really good. So Sin on, you crazy apes!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 2/28/15
I hope everyone is having a good weekend out there in comic book blog land. Me personally, I’m perched on the edge of either potential triumph or devastating loss! But I can’t tell anyone about it yet. Maybe I can soon, but for now, you’re all going to be stuck here on the edge with me. Fortunately, we’ve got comics to read!
Like the ever-delightful Gotham Academy! Maps alone guarantees a Comic Book of the Week!
Sidekicks are the best
We’ve also got new issues of Darth Vader and SHIELD, in which Pavel Rasputin might become your new favorite Marvel sorcerer (though probably not). Amazing Spider-Man finally wraps up Spider-Verse, though not in the way I’d hoped. But at least [REDACTED] is still alive!
Oh! And swing on over to Word of the Nerd to check out my review of Spider-Gwen #1! I think it might be my favorite of the three Spider-lady comics that Marvel released in the past few months. Considering Ultimate Spider-Man is coming to an end, Spider-Gwen is going to be our best chance at playing around in a nifty alternate reality universe for awhile.
Comic Reviews: Amazing Spider-Man #15, Batman Eternal #47, Darth Vader #2, Gotham Academy #5 and SHIELD #3.
Someone made a Dragon Ball Z fan film, and you must watch it.
Close on the heels of the recent gritty Power Rangers fan film comes Dragon Ball Z: Light of Hope. This fan film was created by “Robot Underdog,” and it’s everything that fans didn’t get from Hollywood’s adaptation of the series a few years ago.
As best as I can abbreviate the series for those of you who are unfamiliar with it, Dragon Ball Z is about a group of martial arts experts who have unlocked the vast powers within themselves to battle seemingly unstoppable foes.
The above fan film takes place in an alternate timeline, where a pair of powerful androids have all but wiped out the human race. The younger character, Trunks, will eventually travel back in time to aid the series’s main characters in the present day.
Dorkly Knows Superheroes
Dorkly is usually all about video games, but they understand superheroes too, and are just saying what we’re all thinking.
For my money, Captain America: Civil War is easily going to trounce Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice!
And on a personal note, sorry for being so quiet this week, everything! I’ve been pretty busy, and I might have some good news on the horizon! I’ll let you all know when and if I can!
