It’s Human-Sized! It’s Human-Sized!
I love me a good practical joke, and that ant-sized teaser trailer for Ant-Man was a pretty good one. Fortunately, Marvel didn’t make us wait too long to get a human-sized version! And the full trailer for Ant-Man will arrive for reals on Tuesday! I know I’m excited.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 1/3/2015
Holy New Year, comic book fans! Not only were there five Wednesdays in December, but the last one fell on New Year’s Eve, which apparently means that both DC and Marvel decided that nobody was going to bother buying comics. Both companies released less than a handful of comics this week, knocking my review pile down to a total of two comics!
The first is the latest issue of Batman Eternal, because DC decided to keep to that weekly schedule of theirs. It’s not as bad as previous issues, but it’s still not the breakthrough we’re all hoping for here at the end. Marvel released the first issue of their new SHIELD series, introducing characters from the TV show into the comic book Marvel Universe. It’s actually very good, and wins Comic Book of the Week with ease!
Since it’s such a slow week, I also decided to finally read and review The Valiant #1 from a few weeks ago. Some of you have no doubt heard of Valiant Comics. It’s always been in the back of my mind, and someone recently recommended to me that I start picking up some of their comics. I’m always trying to stretch beyond Marvel and DC, so why not?
But was it worth the cost? Read on!
Comic Reviews: Batman Eternal #39, SHIELD #1 and The Valiant #1.
What is This? A Trailer for Ants?!
Oh…yes. That’s exactly what it is.
Damn you, Marvel! I want to love you because you’re clever, but I want to hate you for delaying the first Ant-Man trailer for another four days! There is a part of me that is more excited for the Ant-Man movie than I am for Age of Ultron or The Force Unleashed, and I am not ashamed of that.
The trailer for humans is going to air with the premiere of Agent Carter on Tuesday. Hopefully HYDRA comes through for us again and leaks the full thing online before then, because I am chomping at the bit for this baby!

New Year, Old Stuff
Hey gang! I’ve been lazing about for the past week, what with the holidays and all. There’s also the fact that it’s been kind of a quiet week, geek news wise. So how about we start the new year with something classic?
I can always count on the good people at Cinema Sins to provide quality blog fodder. They’re the meat and potatoes of this business!

6 Pop Culture Resolutions for 2015
Welp, 2015 is here and I’m still fat and broke. Guess my resolutions for 2014 didn’t pan out…again! I did a little bit better with my pop culture resolutions last year, some of which actually came true. So I thought I’d go ahead and make this a new, annual tradition!
Plus this is definitely the year I get in shape and get rich!
I swear by all that is honest and true!
There’s a lot in store for us in 2015, one of the biggest pop culture years in a long time. Not only is Avengers 2 hitting the big screen in the spring, but the year’s going to end with the Star Wars relaunch. How cool is that? We’ve got great TV shows, great video games, great comics, and great everything else. But how great can they be? What do I hope to see in 2015? Join me after the jump to find out!
