Eyes of Wakanda Comes Out on Friday!
We knew the new Eyes of Wakanda cartoon was coming…but did we know that the entire 4-episode series will come out this Friday?! That’s soon! I can’t wait to watch this weekend!
Especially since we’re going to get an Iron Fist in this show! Wowzers! That’s pretty fun. I think Eyes of Wakanda is going to be about the history of Wakanda’s secret spies, traveling the world to collect Vibranium. I think it might also involve traveling dimensions? I don’t like that part. Just show us historic Wakanda in the main timeline. But I guess we’ll see what actually happens this weekend.
Eyes of Wakanda comes to Disney+ on Friday, Aug. 1!

Eyes of Wakanda Looks Pretty Neat
Marvel has a new animated show coming out soon called Eyes of Wakanda, and we got our first teaser look last week with the end of Ironheart (which I enjoyed). And we only really get a glimpse of the animation style at this point, and that’s what looks pretty neat.
As always, I remain a staunch Marvel and MCU supporter, so I’ll definitely be giving Eyes of Wakanda a watch. I don’t think we saw any Black Panthers in that teaser, so I don’t really know what the show is actually going to be about. But a fun animated show is a fun animated show, and I’ve got nothing better to do than watch.
Eyes of Wakanda comes to Disney+ on Aug. 27.

Captain America/Black Panther Video Game Looks Keen
Once upon a time, Marvel announced a new video game teaming up Captain America and Black Panther. It existed in the back of my mind for all these years, and now we have the first story trailer! No real gameplay, but take a look at this atmosphere and character development — Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra.
I think this game looks keen! I know we don’t have any gameplay yet, but it looks like maybe an Assassin’s Creed game for the Black Panther segment, and maybe an over-the-shoulder brawler for the Captain America segment. That should be fun.
I’m all in favor of more superhero video games. I love the Spider-Man games. I love the Batman: Arkham games. But other superheroes deserve the spotlight as well. Even if companies make stinkers like that Suicide Squad game, they should at least try! So I’m excited to see what Marvel 1943 will actually be like.
Of course, it’s not coming out until next year, which is going to be a very big year for video games.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 3/16/24
Ugh, what a week. I caught a nasty cold last weekend and have spent this whole week in some state of crumminess. Hopefully by the time you read these reviews I’ll be feeling better, but while I’m writing them, everything is crummy!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Transformers #6 because Daniel Warren Johnson just goes all out with the insane action!
Meanwhile, my two comic book Kickstarters both came to an end this week, both successful! So this year I will be making Gamer Girl & Vixen: Tyrant Lizard Queen, and a short story of mine will appear in The Cloakroom, a collection of shorts from students in Scott Snyder’s My Best Jacket Substack class. And I’m also finally getting to work on making that Cover Bard project I mentioned a long time ago. So this is gonna be a good year for me making my own comics!
Comic Reviews: ThunderCats #2, Transformers #6 and Ultimate Black Panther #2.

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.
