Behold the Gamer Girl & Vixen Web Comic!
Hey everybody! Big news today from the me, the guy who writes the Henchman-4-Hire blog content. As longtime readers know, I’m not just a comic book blogger, but I’m also working on my own self-published comics on the side. I put out the first Gamer Girl & Vixen graphic novel with my team a few years ago, and we’re getting ready to release the sequel very soon.
To kick off the build-up and hype train, we’ve also commissioned a few short web comics starring our two main characters! And we’re releasing the first comic today on Global Comix!
So click on the link, click on the picture, and go check out the first Gamer Girl & Vixen short comic! I will be sharing each new comic when they come out on Fridays for the next few weeks! And if you never read the original Gamer Girl & Vixen graphic novel, that’s also available digitally at Global Comix. We also have plenty of the tpbs available if anybody wants one. Just let me know!
And gear up for more GG&V content in the days, weeks and months ahead!

Adam Sandler Has Made a Weird Spaceman Movie
Adam Sandler makes movies, sometimes they’re fun and dumb, and sometimes they’re thinky pieces starring astronauts trapped in space and possibly hallucinating. That’s what seems to be the case with Spaceman, his new Netflix movie.
Looks…weird? I wonder why they went with a giant spider. I wonder why they went with any of it. But if Sandler is involved, it’s no doubt going to be some degree of good. So count me in!
Spaceman comes to Netflix on March 1.

6 Thoughts on Echo
Consider me among the people who wasn’t sure if an Echo spin-off series as a great idea. I enjoyed the Hawkeye TV show probably more than most people, and Echo was a fine antagonist in that series, but she wasn’t exactly a showstealer. And her character isn’t exactly all that popular or well known in the comics. But Marvel do what Marvel do, and we got ourselves an Echo TV show!
TV Show Rating: 6/10 – Pretty Good
In a change from the normal Marvel show on Disney+, all five episodes of Echo were released on the same day. Ultimately, this was a great idea, because those episodes were not meaty enough to warrant week-by-week release. I was able to binge the whole thing over a few nights and I can say I’m pleased with the final product. It’s not as bad as I feared, though it also didn’t do much to warrant existing. Still, there’s more good than bad in the first season of Echo and I wouldn’t mind seeing more — especially guest starring elsewhere.
Join me after the jump for my review and full thoughts on the Echo TV show! Expect SOME SPOILERS for the show, and feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.
Read the rest of this entryMasters of the Universe: Revolution Looks Badass!
For reasons that I think are dumb, a lot of the internet turned against the Kevin Smith He-Man revival on Netflix a year or two ago. But that show kicked ass, and I’m excited to see it come back for a second season! Masters of the Universe: Revolution looks freakin’ awesome in this new trailer!
I loved the first season, and this new season looks even cooler somehow! Action, bitchin’ 80s tunes, and a lot of intrigue and dramatic character growth! I have nothing but high hopes and unshakeable faith in this new season and I can’t wait to watch!
Also, exciting for me, my favorite Masters of the Universe character makes a quick cameo in that trailer! It’s Snout Spout! You can see him at 1:25 in the trailer. Why is Snout Spout my favorite? Because he’s the one random He-Man action figure I had as a kid! I had others, like He-Man and Ram-Man, but Snout Spout was the one weird, random character in my collection. So he’s my favorite! And he’s gonna make an appearance this season! I’m very excited.
Masters of the Universe: Revolution comes to Netflix on Jan. 25.
(P.S. While searching for the date in the trailer, I paused on a screen that shows Gwildor, the Orko stand-in from the live action movie. Holy heck. That is madness. My hopes for this show just rose tenfold!)

What Happened in Halo Season 1?
I know I watched the first season of the Halo TV show, and I know I liked it. I’m no game purist, so the show was fine. But I can’t really remember too much. I have vague memories of Master Chief’s storyline…and there was a big battle against the aliens in the final episode. But did the first season how the Fall of Reach? I don’t remember that…
Anyway, the new trailer for season 2 sure does seem to think we’ve already seen the Fall of Reach.
So for those who don’t know, Reach is a human planet and the evil aliens destroy it…I think. There’s at least one video game about it specifically, which I’m pretty sure I played a million years ago. Maybe the Fall of Reach happens at the start of this new season? I dunno. The trailer looks pretty good to me. Looks like more of the same. Wait, did Kwan Ha appear in that trailer at all? I don’t remember seeing any young Asian women…is that original character from season 1 coming back?!
Jeez, my memory is terrible these days. Though I do remember that the trailer said Halo season 2 will arrive on Paramount+ on Feb. 8.
