Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 2/3/24
We’re in February, everybody! And that’s a big month for me! If you haven’t seen the news yet, my own self-published comic, Gamer Girl & Vixen, is returning to Kickstarter for our sequel graphic novel! So go sign up for the Feb. 12 launch! And then read my reviews this week for comics like Avengers Twilight and Duke!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Power Rangers Unlimited for a nicely personal spin-off story starring the Rangers Slayer.
Meanwhile, I’m slowly working my way through Super Mario Bros. Wonder. I splurged on that game before Christmas, and who doesn’t love a good, classic Mario game? And I’m watching some AppleTV+ again. Hijack starring Idris Elba is a real delight so far!
Comic Reviews: Avengers: Twilight: Book Two, Duke #2 and Power Rangers Unlimited: The Morphin Masters.

6 Obscure DC Characters I Want to See in James Gunn’s New DCU
James Gunn and Warner Bros. are full speed ahead on their relaunch of the DC Cinematic Universe, and I’m all for it. I might be a Marvel Zombie through and through, but I love all comic book companies equally. Plus I really love James Gunn’s superhero movies. He makes hugely entertaining movies, and I can’t wait to see what he’s cooking up.
Gunn announced the casting of Milly Alcock this weekend as the new Supergirl. He’s also announced characters like Metamorpho, Hawkgirl and the Creature Commandoes as showing up. And considering the obscure nobodies he put into his Suicide Squad movie, I think it’s fair to say that Gunn likes obscure characters. I also like obscure characters! So I’ve put together a list of obscure DC heroes and villains I’d like to see somewhere in the new DCU. I don’t care where, and I don’t care who plays them; I just want to see these awesome people show up somewhere!
Join me after the jump for the six obscure DC characters I’d love to see on the big (or small!) screen in the new DCU. And feel free to share your own characters in the comments below!

James Gunn and DC Comics continue their attempts to build a new cinematic universe, and they just announced the casting of Supergirl this weekend. She’s going to show up in the Superman: Legacy movie, and then get her own film, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.
It’s Milly Alcock from the Game of Thrones prequel!
I have yet to watch House of the Dragon, so I can’t speak for Alcock’s acting or character presence. But I have the utmost faith in Gunn pulling off this movie and this whole universe. Should be a lot of fun.
Meanwhile, I still need to read the actual comic, Woman of Tomorrow. I read the first few issues when they came out, but then I fell off. I bought the tpb and just haven’t gotten to it yet. I have some time before the movie comes out, right?
