New Trailers for Supergirl and Masters of the Universe Sure Are Neat!
Sorry I haven’t posted more over the past few days, and missed this weekend’s comic book reviews. Not only am I having a busy week at work, but I also came down with a cold on top of that. So man…just haven’t been in a posting mood. I think the cold dulled my sense of artistic appreciation. I went and saw Project: Hail Mary while sick, and…eh. It was fine.
Anyway, yesterday we got two big trailers for a couple big movies this summer.
First up is Supergirl, which a fuller trailer that looks pretty cool.
I am fully on board with this movie. I loved Superman last summer, and I love what they’re doing with Supergirl. I also very much love the comic this movie is based on, Woman of Tomorrow. Honestly, watching that trailer, I’m a little worried that I’m going to be too much of a stickler for the comic. I hope that’s not the case and I can just sit back and enjoy this Supergirl movie, which should be a hoot.
Supergirl comes to theaters on June 26.
We’ve also got a new Masters of the Universe Trailer.
I think it looks great! I devoured all those toy commercial cartoons in the 1980s, as a wee lad. Ninja Turtles was top of the heap for me, but I definitely watched He-Man and had a few of the toys. And I very much like that this movie looks like a big toy commercial. Bright, colorful, full of action and characters; it’s not shying away from the lore. I’m not a stickler for He-Man lore, but I think this should be a really fun way to approach this film. Embrace the camp.
Masters of the Universe comes to theaters on June 5! So it’s gonna be a fun June.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 5/18/24
Sorry I missed reviews last week, everybody. I had a busy end of week and just couldn’t make room for reviews. Fortunately, I’m in the new phase where I go easier on myself for not hitting deadlines. But I did read a couple of comics this week, so let’s do another one of these!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Action Comics #1065 for another excellent chapter of the House of Brainiac storyline. Good times all around with that one!
Meanwhile, I was on vacation this week and spent my time playing God of War: Ragnarok, which is just as awesome and as much fun as the previous game. I finished the Knuckles TV show and it was fine, definitely in line with the Sonic movies. I loved Velma season 2. I enjoyed The Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. And I hope to see the Furiosa movie next weekend! Good times all around for me.
Comic Reviews: Action Comics #1065 and ThunderCats #4.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 4/20/24
Hello everyone! If you didn’t see my post earlier this week, I’m thinking of backing off a bit on writing so much for this blog. While I still love reading and writing about comics, I want to lighten up on the rigid schedule I’ve set for myself to get everything read and reviewed. There were a bunch of good comics this week, like more Nightwing and Superman, so I wanted to review them. But things may change going forward.
Comic Book of the Week is Wonder Woman #8 for just another phenomenal chapter to this gripping ongoing story! New storyline kicks off with style.
Meanwhile, I loved the Fallout TV show, I’m loving the X-Men cartoon and I’m very much enjoying Shogun. So all is well with me in TV land. I’m hoping to spend this weekend finally starting God of War: Ragnarok, which I got for free when I bought my Playstation 5. I expect that game to be a hoot!
Comic Reviews: Nightwing #300, Superman #13 and Wonder Woman #8.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 4/13/24
My readership numbers have been going down lately. Is anybody actually reading and enjoying these reviews? I know I don’t have any particularly interesting insights, but I do enjoy talking about comics. Including ThunderCats and Transformers!
Comic Book of the Week is Action Comics #1064, kicking off an awesome new Superman story that was teased some time ago.
Meanwhile, I’m still recovering from Episode 5 of X-Men ’97. Holy heck this show is good! And i’ve started watching Fallout, which is awesome. We’re feasting good these days! In the video game world, a friend of mine got me onto Evil Genius 2, which is a fun base-builder. It’s a nice game to lose a couple hours to.
Comic Reviews: Action Comics #1064, ThunderCats #3 and Transformers #7.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/5/21
What a week. What a week. What a week. For me, it was mostly marked by being dead tired. Up here in my neck of the woods, the heat has changed and I’m having trouble sleeping. So…ugh. Tired. But at least we had comics to read, like Batman and Crush & Lobo, which I decided to try out for Pride Month!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Marauders #21 for a nice introduction to the Hellfire Gala. It isn’t the highest rated single issue this week, but it had some really fun moments, kicked off a major event I’m very excited about, and it brought Rhapsody back to comics. That’s all win win for me!
Meanwhile, Heroes Reborn continues to be a ton of fun! It’s still this glorious Amalgam throwback and I am here for it. I also wrapped up Mare of Easttown on HBO and it was a really good detective/mystery show. Kept me guessing and it features a lot of great characters and character work. Definitely recommended.
Comic Reviews: Batman #109, Crush & Lobo #1, Marauders #21, Hellions #12 and X-Force #20.
