Ant-Man’s First Interaction with the MCU…in a Coke Commercial
I didn’t watch the Super Bowl, I didn’t see any of the commercials in real time. But it doesn’t matter, because this Coca Cola/Marvel commercial would have won hands down.
Ant-Man’s first interaction with the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is in a Coke commercial. This is not a criticism. We live in a world where Ant-Man and the Hulk can appear in full live action, with amazing special effects, in a TV commercial. They are part of the mainstream. This is normal, and it’s awesome.
Ant-Man and the freakin’ Hulk!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 1/23/16
This was an exciting week for comics! We’ve got new issues of some of my favorites, like Astonishing Ant-Man and Ms. Marvel, as well as the excellent return of the new Patsy Walker series. Heck, even DC delivered, with another big Batman issue, and the first issue of the new Poison Ivy mini-series. This week was packed to the gills!
But two of the best issues were new #1s! I’m talking, of course, about the relaunched Captain Marvel and Silver Surfer comics! One has a new creative team and a new direction, while the other doubles down on what made the previous volume so good — which is exactly why the new Silver Surfer #1 wins Comic Book of the Week!
You’re live to the whole world!
But it’s good to have both series back! Marvel is finally shaking off all the Secret Wars malaise (even though I did enjoy Secret Wars).
Comic Reviews: Astonishing Ant-Man #4, Batman #48, Captain Marvel #1, Ms. Marvel #3, Poison Ivy #1, Patsy Walker a.k.a. Hellcat #2 and Silver Surfer #1.
Everything Wrong with Ant-Man
Alas, poor Ant-Man, there’s no way it could survive Cinema Sins.
I still love this movie, I will always love this movie, and I can’t wait to see Ant-Man show up in Captain America: Civil War. But heh, it’s got a million, bajillion little problems.

Apparently We’re Not Done with Ant-Man For Today
To coincide with my earlier post about Ant-Man, the people over at Screen Junkies have released the Ant-Man Honest Trailer! That was nice of them.
It’s still a good movie. I might even go back to ages past of actually buying DVDs. Or maybe Red Box. Or one of those streaming services. Whatever the case may be, I’m definitely happy with how Ant-Man turned out. And now I can’t wait to see him appear in Civil War! That’s gonna be fun.

Ant-Man Bloopers Remind Us That Ant-Man is Available on DVD Finally!
I liked Ant-Man, and I imagine I’ll be watching it again as time moves forward and makes fools of us all.
Marvel should pay me money to promote their movies. I would promote the heck out of their movies!
