As If You Needed One More Reason to Watch Luke Cage This Weekend
While it feels like forever until election day, the arrival of the next Marvel Netflix show will be upon us quickly! Luke Cage arrives on Friday, and early reviews have been as spectacular as we could have hoped. This one final trailer looks pretty stellar, too.
Not much else to say. It looks great, with a lot of style and a real focus on Luke as a man split by indecision. Will he become a hero? Will Jessica Jones guest star? How awesome will it be? I have loved each and every Marvel Netflix show, and all signs point to Luke Cage being just as good. So I’m on board for a big binge marathon this weekend!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/20/16
Comics. We all love them. We all read them. I, for one, like to write them as well. And sure enough, I’m back with another pile of quality comics for this week’s reviews. A bunch of my favorites found their way into my pile this week, and I actually had a tough time choosing the best!
But Power Man and Iron Fist #7 easily wins Comic Book of the Week. I absolutely love the world and the characters that writer David Walker is creating. It all feels so real, and so personal for Luke Cage and Danny Rand. I hope they were this good back in the 70s. And I hope their upcoming TV shows are just as good!
“And if it looks like Darth Vader, it’s really you inside. Fair warning.”
Though this week is not without it’s stinkers. Hold on to your utility belts, everybody, because I’m pretty sure I’m probably done with Tom King’s Batman.
Comic Reviews: All-New Wolverine #11, Batman #5, Mighty Thor #10, Nightwing #3, Power Man and Iron Fist #7 and Spider-Woman #10.
New Luke Cage Trailer Brings the Goods!
Are you ready for a full-sized Luke Cage trailer? You better be, because the Internet delivers!
Looks awesome! This is gonna be another great show from Marvel and Netflix. Cage looks just as badass and cool as he did in Jessica Jones. But we gotta wait until the end of September before we can actually watch the darn thing.

Comic-Con is in full swing this weekend, and Marvel and Netflix came out swinging last night with a slew of trailers for their various upcoming TV shows. All of them look great, and I can’t wait to see the shows when they land on our viewing screens this Fall and next year. Plus, Daredevil has been confirmed for a third season, so that’s nice.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 7/16/16
It is a dark day in comics, my friends. But not in the way Marvel probably wants me to think. But I’m not sure I have any idea what Marvel is thinking anymore. I don’t know what drives them. Is it sales? Is it controversy? Is it headlines? Because it’s definitely not storytelling, not anymore.
Civil War II #3 kind of breaks me. But not due to the story or the art. Not even due to the power behind the twist. It breaks me in that I just don’t know why I should care anymore…
Fortunately, this wee also brings us an excellent new issue of Power Man and Iron Fist, and I’m reminded why I care again. Hooray Comic Book of the Week!
Don’t forget Wolverine!
Somebody at Marvel is doing something good. I’m gonna stick with that part of Marvel.
Comic Reviews: Civil War II #3, Detective Comics #936, Lumberjanes/Gotham Academy #2, Nightwing Rebirth #1, Power Man and Iron Fist #6, and Wonder Woman #2.
