Deadpool & Wolverine Trailer Debuts at Super Bowl
We all knew this trailer was coming. The Super Bowl is a time for many movie trailers, and we all knew that Deadpool 3 was going to be the one to watch. It’s the only Marvel Studios movie coming out this year. It might be the only movie that matters. And the trailer is pretty neat.
Considering how much leaked footage and pictures and promotional materials there have been of Wolverine, I’m surprised they didn’t show more of him in the trailer. Really, we just got a lot of Deadpool in the TVA. At least his suit looks all spiffy and new! And very red! I’ll take it!
Deadpool & Wolverine comes to theaters on July 26.
Next up is the trailer for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. And this looks damn good.
That was a great trailer! Showed a lot more of the story, but not all of it. Now we know they’re sort of doing the original movie, with the modern human on the planet. And it just looks damn cool. I’m really excited about this one.
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes comes to theaters on May 10.
Thirdly, we’ve got Twisters, the random sequel.
This trailer didn’t do much for me. It’s just a bunch of tornadoes again. It was cool when the original Twister came out a million years ago, but can they still be cool? I suppose we’ll find out.
Twisters will be in theaters on July 19.
Lastly, the trailer for the first half of a Wicked two-parter.
I’ve never read the book or seen the play, but I’ve always wanted to. The trailer looks pretty crazy. That key song is in it, of course. It’s a great song. From everything I’ve read, splitting Wicked into two movies is probably a good idea. So I’m for sure excited about seeing this one and finally seeing what all of the fuss is about.
Wicked comes to theaters around Thanksgiving.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 2/10/24
It’s Super Bowl Weekend! And I’m probably instead going to go see the movie American Fiction in an empty theater. It’s supposed to be pretty good. I also had a fun time reading comics this week, like the new Ultimate Black Panther and the new ThunderCats!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Sensational She-Hulk #5 for another very fun, character-based issue. I love what I love, and sometimes She-Hulk really delivers.
Meanwhile, still playing Super Mario Bros. Wonder, still having a ball. It’s a fun, simple game, which is what a traditional Mario game should be. I spent the past week watching all three seasons of Slow Horses on AppleTV+, and that show was good, solid entertainment. I hope Gary Oldman was having fun.
Also, if you haven’t seen yet, the latest volume of my self-published comic — Gamer Girl & Vixen — is coming to Kickstarter on Monday! I would love your support and I’ve no doubt you’ll love my comic!
Comic Reviews: Birds of Prey #6, Captain America #6, Sensational She-Hulk #5, ThunderCats #1 and Ultimate Black Panther #1.

Hold All the Phones, There is a Knuckles TV Show Coming
We knew this was coming. It was announced, talked about, hinted at; and now we have a trailer. Dear lord in Heaven, we have a trailer for a live action Knuckles the Echidna TV show. How has it come to this?! I love Knuckles. Like, to an absurd degree. I loved him before I even knew what he looked like, because I was the sort of dorky kid who already knew what an echidna was before Knuckles showed up in Sonic 3. I spent so much energy hoping that Knuckles would show up in one of those two Sonic the Hedgehog animated cartoons from my youth.
Young Sean would have his mind freakin’ blown at this existence of this Knuckles TV show.
And it looks good maybe?! I’m no mega fan of the live action Sonic movies. In fact, I don’t think I particularly like them? I don’t remember. But I do think I really enjoyed Idris Elba as Knuckles in the sequel. So you best darn well believe I’ll be watching this show when it comes to Paramount+ on April 26.
Jeez louise. The Knuckles live action TV show. What even is the world we are living in?

6 Potential Superhero Super Bowl Half Time Shows
It’s Super Bowl week! The Big Game is this weekend between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers! I have no dog in the race — I’m a Cincinnati Bengals fan — and I’m not going to watch anything but the commercials on YouTube. But I can definitely make a Super Bowl-themed List of Six this week!
I’ve already done sports-themed superheroes. I even did a list of comic characters that Taylor Swift should date! This time I’m going to do comic book characters who could put on a good Half Time Show! There are a couple of musical-based characters, or even superheroes who are rockstars. Honestly, I’d love to see more comics where super-powered characters have jobs other than superhero. I think it would be neat!
Join me after the jump for six musical comic book characters who could put on a pretty good Super Bowl Half Time Show!
