Sometimes All You Need On a Tuesday is a Mario/Taken Parody
Fortunately for us all, WTFLOL was kind enough to provide. This sort of thing is the bread and butter of the Internet, and it’s pretty well made and funny. I’m fairly certain all references in this trailer are old enough to attend middle school now, but it’s still some quality Internetting. Kudos!
And thank you to Henchgirl Alyssa for finding and sharing this gem.

I Need Help – From the Ninja Turtles!
Despite being mostly broke and trying to fund my own comic book, I found myself splurging yesterday on some new action figures. I couldn’t really afford the splurge, but I did it anyway. I think I need help you guys…from the Ninja Turtles! Because who else is going to kick Bebop and Rocksteady’s butts for me!
Now I know what you’re thinking: Sean, why would you buy action figures? And you’re right, it’s a dumb waste of my money. I’m pretty sure I have a problem…with the Foot Clan! Oh man, you guys, they are some of the baddest dudes out there! And Bebop and Rocksteady are their primary enforcers. This is definitely a no-win situation for me!
Sadly, those pictures are the promotional images found off the web. The actual figures I randomly found at Wal-Mart don’t look that well-put-together, making this even more of a dumb purchase. But what can I say? I’m kind of stupid…in love with the Ninja Turtles! Cowabunga!

Everything Wrong With the New Ninja Turtles Movie
I stand by my general enjoyment of the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, but Cinema Sins had to go there.
That movie deserves to be torn apart! But like I said, I generally enjoyed it. The Ninja Turtles were my favorite cartoon as a Young Sean, but I’m savvy enough to know that there will always be new Ninja Turtle adaptations. Heck, I really love the current Nickelodeon cartoon, and I’m fairly certain the old 80s cartoon does not hold up. So if Michael Bay and friends want to make a few modern day Ninja Turtle movies, I say more power to them. I’ll still get a little kick out of all of them.
And someday, there will be even new cartoons, movies and comics.
Remind me to tell you henchies someday about my perfect Bebop and Rocksteady origin story. It’s genius.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 1/17/15
Something is definitely wrong with me these days, henchies. I am definitely not living up to the ‘hench-sized’ decree in the title of this column! From last week to this one, it seems like I have a whole heck of a lot to talk about with comic books! I try to keep these reviews short and easily digestible, but sometimes when I get going, I really get going!
It helps that this week sees the debut of Star Wars #1. There’s definitely a lot to talk about with that comic! I was a little hesitant about diving in, but Marvel does not let me down. This is quality comics! Star Wars #1 captures Comic Book of the Week because it could be a pretty historic book.
If it was up to me, though, Captain Marvel would win because the newest issue is just that damn good! Captain Marvel #11 gets the first perfect score of the new year! Check the review to find out why! We’ve also got new issues of Batgirl and SHIELD, both of which deserve a lot of attention. And Batman Eternal finally brings us an issue focused on Red Robin and Harper Row, the only thing I still like about that comic.
Over at Word of the Nerd, you can check out my take on Amazing X-Men #15. Why does a comic like that still get published in the very crowded X-franchise? Find out in my review!
Comic Reviews: Batgirl #38, Batman Eternal #41, Captain Marvel #11, SHIELD #2, Silver Surfer #8 and Star Wars #1.
The Greatest Justice League Parody of All Time
Behold, the combination of Dilbert and the Justice League! Try not to be drinking any milk when you read it.
This bit of brilliance comes courtesy of Rob Peters and The Line is Drawn column at Comic Book Resources. They ran a contest for artists to combine comic book characters and comic strip characters, and there are a few gems. You can check out the whole gallery by clicking here. They’re worth a read!
