Kingdom Come: Deliverance is Getting a Sequel!
Have you ever heard of the video game Kingdom Come: Deliverance? I hadn’t until a friend introduced me. It’s like Skyrim, if you replace all the supernatural fantasy stuff with rigid, medieval realism. It’s that same sort of first-person RPG, but these developers are real sticklers for historical accuracy.
For example, in Skyrim, you’ve got three pieces of armor for your head, chest and legs. In Kingdom Come: Deliverance, you’ve got your underwear, your outerwear, protective padding, chainmail and then chestplate…and that’s only for your torso! And each of those pieces of clothing/armor takes damage and needs to be repaired, and can get dirty, which can affect your charisma. And don’t get me started on the insanely steep learning curves for weapon fighting and archery. There’s even a side quest where your peasant character can learn how to read!
Anyway, there’s going to be a sequel this year!
If you don’t have time for that big developer video, here’s the regular trailer.
So I really enjoyed that first game, even though I never finished it. I didn’t have too many games I was looking forward to this year, but Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is definitely high on my list now! I can’t wait to not get a hang of the sword fighting all over again!
The game will come to all systems by the end of the year!

Behold This Really Big, Really Cool X-Men Picture!
Artist Scott Koblish has drawn a gigantic X-Men mural as a connecting cover for the From The Ashes relaunch comics. It’s not the first time an artist has done something like this, but this one is really, really fun. It’s all about early X-Men history, and you can see time pass from left to right.
Looks awesome. I love artwork like this. The artist goes above and beyond to draw a bajillion characters and it’s just super fun to look at all the stuff. I found Mimic and Multiple Man, so I’m pleased as punch.
I’m getting more excited about From The Ashes by the day!

New Deadpool & Wolverine Trailer Does Not Disappoint!
Deadpool & Wolverine is, probably, the most highly anticipated movie of the year. It’s the only Marvel Studios movie this year, and caps off the much beloved and praised Deadpool trilogy. It’s got everything going for it, and, thankfully, looks awesome to boot!
That was great! Still not much revealed in terms of story or what’s going on, but there’s so much beautiful Deadpool & Wolverine action and humor! Loved the melodic “Like a Prayer” soundtrack. Loved the humor. Loved seeing Wolverine in costume with his arms bare. Loved the MCU Easter Eggs. This thing looks awesome!
Deadpool & Wolverine comes to theaters on July 26!

There Have Been Far More Mechagodzilla Than I Ever Knew
It’s Tell It Animated time! And this time around he’s doing Mechagodzilla. Everybody loves a good kaiju. And I had no idea Mechagodzilla made so many appearances out there in this wide pop culture world.
That is one detailed, fancy-looking giant robot. The animator really went to extremes to get this guy done for this video! Kudos all around! And next video is the 50th! I doubt he’ll take my suggestion to do Robin. But who would be worthy for a 50th video? Maybe an update on every video he’s done so far? Or an update on his first video, whoever that was. My legit guess would be…Link! But we’ll see.
Also today is supposed to see the release of a new Deadpool & Wolverine trailer, so check back later! I’ll get that up as soon as I see it posted.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 4/20/24
Hello everyone! If you didn’t see my post earlier this week, I’m thinking of backing off a bit on writing so much for this blog. While I still love reading and writing about comics, I want to lighten up on the rigid schedule I’ve set for myself to get everything read and reviewed. There were a bunch of good comics this week, like more Nightwing and Superman, so I wanted to review them. But things may change going forward.
Comic Book of the Week is Wonder Woman #8 for just another phenomenal chapter to this gripping ongoing story! New storyline kicks off with style.
Meanwhile, I loved the Fallout TV show, I’m loving the X-Men cartoon and I’m very much enjoying Shogun. So all is well with me in TV land. I’m hoping to spend this weekend finally starting God of War: Ragnarok, which I got for free when I bought my Playstation 5. I expect that game to be a hoot!
Comic Reviews: Nightwing #300, Superman #13 and Wonder Woman #8.
