The Civil War Has Already Begun!

By that, of course, I mean the war between Captain America and Iron Man! It was there all along, we just didn’t fully notice until now.

Kudos to Mr. Sunday Movies, one of my favorite Youtube personalities. That was some quality comedy fun! And once again reminds me that I need to work on my video editing skills.

Happy Thanksgiving, We’ve Got a Captain America: Civil War Trailer!

This was a welcome surprise this morning! I’d heard there’d be some Captain America movie news on the Jimmy Kimmel show last night, but I don’t watch Jimmy Kimmel! I went to bed, I was tired! But sure enough, I wake up this morning and discover the flippin’ first full length trailer for Captain America: Civil War!

Great googily moogily that awesome! I thought I was riding high on Jessica Jones, and that maybe I didn’t need another Marvel movie so soon, but wow that trailer looks good. It’s got the action, it’s got the character building, it’s got some pretty amazing moments between Steve Rogers and Tony Stark. Oh man. This is gonna be stellar!

It’s a Zombie Nazi Sort of Day!

I didn’t expect today to be a Zombie Nazi sort of day, it just kind of happened. I found this video of a LEGO Captain America mini-movie (Captain America 3, apparently), and it’s all about LEGO Cap fighting off a bunch of LEGO Zombie Nazis! It’s awesomely animated, gory as hell and has a sweet ending!

All kudos to Forrest Fire for the excellent video. Their LEGO animation skills are the bomb diggity! Be sure to watch all the way to the end!

And while we’re on the topic of Zombie Nazis (quite different from Nazi zombies), I’d also like to introduce you to one of the funniest songs ever! This is from Rob Zombie’s movie The Haunted World of El Superbeasto, which is a pretty terrible movie, but which has a pretty hilarious Zombie Nazi song about a third of the way in. It’s probably NSFW due to the cussin’.

Only good part of that movie. I just saved you a couple of painful hours.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 11/14/15

Comic reviews are back! After a whirlwind vacation in England, I’m back reading comics and sitting on my butt in America! I missed a lot of good titles last week (including the long-delayed Uncanny X-Men #600), but I’m hopefully going to make up for that with some solid comics this week. I’d review Uncanny X-Men #600…but I wasn’t impressed. It wasn’t worth the wait. And the new Extraordinary X-Men left me a little cold. Not a good time to be an X-Men fan, I don’t think.

Anyway, this week has a lot of goodies! We’ve got the All-New, All-Different Avengers, we’ve got the All-New Wolverine, we’ve got Web Warriors, and we’ve got a bunch of goodies from DC Comics. This was definitely a good week to come back to, I’d have to say. I missed comics!

Comic Book of the Week goes to All-New Wolverine #1. I rather liked this story, despite not being a particular fan of X-23. But I like the idea that she’s going to carry on Wolverine’s legacy.

It’s her favorite part

Plus, Angel makes for a really great sidekick.

Comic Reviews: All-New, All-Different Avengers #1, All-New Wolverine #1, Batman #46, Starfire #6 and Web Warriors #1.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/31/15

Happy Halloween! I hope all you ghosts, ghouls and superheroes have a lot of fun today! Halloween is my favorite holiday because of the insanely awesome pageantry involved. It’s just so much fun! Too bad we didn’t get any spooky comics this week…at least not in my regular pile. I should start reading Wytches maybe.

Word of note, before we begin: there won’t be any reviews next Saturday! Yours truly is going on vacation to London next week, and I won’t get any comics! I’ll still try to get some videos up, and a couple Lists of Six, but we’re skipping comic reviews next week. It’s for the best.

Fortunately, this week was pretty darn good. Batgirl #45 wins Comic Book of the Week for a lovely wedding issue.

Let’s make the magic happen!

Always good to see more diverse weddings and love stories in comics! We’ve come a long way since Northstar got married.

Comic Reviews: Angela: Queen of Hel #1, Batgirl #45, Batman and Robin Eternal #4, Chewbacca #2, Grayson #13, Sam Wilson: Captain America #2 and Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #1.
