Without Further Delay, I’m Back!
Sorry henchies! I was on vacation this weekend visiting my friends in Boston! It meant I was away for a few days without new blog content, but I’ve got some cool news to announce in the coming weeks! Set your radars for ‘Exciting Henchman News!’
For now, though, I figured I’d ease myself into being back home (at back at work) with some funny Internetting! How about some Key & Peele?
Poor Stan Lee! He’s so beloved, but oh so silly in this day and age. He himself is a glorious throwback to the Golden Age. Every time I hear news that some company has teamed up with Stan Lee to create some new superheroes, this is exactly what I expect it’s like. Does anybody remember Striperella? What about Stan Lee Media? I love those guys for their ridiculous attempts to sue Marvel for ownership of Spider-Man and Co. just because they were once partnered with Stan Lee. They’re always good for a laugh.
As are Key & Peele!
Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 11/15/14
You know what I love on vacation? A big stack of great comics! And this week delivered with flying colors! The Internet loves the new issue of Batman, though I’m not as big of a fan. But who needs Batman when we’ve got She-Hulk, Thor and Captain Marvel? All three deliver solidly fun comics starring women, and that’s as much fun as it sounds. But what am I getting at, you ask? Where am I going with this?
Well, what happens when you mix Batman, flying colors and female protagonists?
Comic Book of the Week goes to Batgirl #36. It’s only the second issue of this new relaunch, and already I’m beyond loving this series. It’s just so, so good!
Also, feel free to check out my review of All-New Captain America #1 over at Word of the Nerd. I think Falcon is going to make a pretty good Cap.
Comic Reviews: Batgirl #36, Batman #36, Batman Eternal #32, Captain Marvel #9, She-Hulk #10, Superior Iron Man #1 and Thor #2.
Cylons are the Ultimate Danger Zone
Some mad genius decided to mash-up Battlestar Galactica and Top Gun for probably the most badass video on the Internet.
I tip my hat to you, Nick Acosta. Your mad geniusery is a beacon to us all!

Cyanide & Happiness Started Its Own Show!
Everybody loves Cyanide & Happiness, right? That wickedly evil and funny web comic? Well they’ve decided to get into animation with their own show on Youtube!
It’s pretty funny. It lacks the sheer insanity and cruelty of the comic strip, but hey, why not enjoy some nifty Youtube cartoonery?
And for the record, my favorite Cyanide & Happiness comic strip is this one.
Behold a Delicious Gotham Parody
Granted, there’s really only one joke to a solid Gotham parody, but the fine folks at The Warp Zone nail it with aplomb. My thoughts on Gotham have dropped off since the first episode. Sometimes it’s good, sometimes it’s dumb. But overall it hasn’t really reached any sort of quality. Gotham so far lacks depth and consistency, and that’s not good. But hey, it’s got a whole season, so maybe it’ll go somewhere…
