Some of the Sweet Comic-Con Trailers
San Diego Comic-Con is in full swing this weekend and we’ve got a bunch of nifty trailers to share! Nothing as big as a new Marvel movie or DCU film, but we’ve got some TV shows and smaller flicks, so it all works out nicely, I think.
We do have one DC show, at least. Peacemaker season 2 starts next month and we got a newer, fuller trailer.
Obviously I can’t wait for season 2, so awesome there. Everything looks like it’s gonna be a ton of fun and we’ll see what sorts of shenanigans we get this time around. Me, personally, I don’t need an onscreen explanation for the differences in the DC movie universes, but we’ll see what happens.
Peacemaker returns to HBO Max on Aug. 21.
Next up is a trailer for Starfleet Academy, the next Star Trek show. It’s basically a boarding school show set in the Star Trek universe.
If I understand this probably — and I don’t fully — I think this takes place in the far, far future. Something about Star Trek: Discovery going into the future and I guess now they’ve established a new academy? I don’t know. I didn’t watch the last two seasons of Discovery. But maybe this will be a fun, clean slate start for a new show.
Starfleet Academy comes to Paramount+ early next year.
Speaking of spin-off TV shows, the second season of Gen V in the Boys universe is also on its way.
I like The Boys just fine and can’t wait for the final season. I also really enjoyed the first season of Gen V, so I’m definitely looking forward to a second season. There’s probably a very good chance that it’s going to be fun.
Gen V returns to Amazon on Sept. 17.
Lastly, but not leastly, is a trailer for Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, because the world doesn’t stop.
I watched Spinal Tap many years ago, once I was an adult, and it was good, I’m sure. That they went and made a sequel before they all die? Fine by me! I did just watch and enjoy Happy Gilmore 2, so who am I to debate the existence of Spinal Tap II? Exactly!
Spinal Tap II is coming to theaters on Sept. 12.

New Season of Peacemaker is Gonna be Sweet
Late last week, we got the first look of the second season of Peacemaker, and it looks super sweet. It should go without saying that the first season of Peacemaker was phenomenal television. Loved every second of that show. So you best believe I can’t wait for season 2.
And season 2 looks great! I’m not some big continuity wonk. It doesn’t matter to me that season 1 was part of the previous DC movieverse, and season 2 will be part of the new movieverse. It’s all just Peacemaker to me. And I can’t wait to see these loveable losers get up to some new hilarious and heartwarming mischief.
Peacemaker returns to HBO on Aug. 21.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 2/8/25
There are so many good comics I wish I had kept reading, but had dropped for whatever unimportant reason. I really, really want to get caught back up with Scarlet Witch! And Birds of Prey! But one comic I’m not dropping anytime soon is…
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Superman #4, which is probably my favorite of the Absolute comics. They’ve all been phenomenal so far, but Jason Aaron and Rafa Sandoval are working some real magic with this new Superman!
Meanwhile, I’m still playing through Dragon Age: Veilguard and Stardew Valley, so I have successfully been able to stop myself from splurging on Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, though I will very much be playing that game soon! Currently making my way through the final season of Doom Patrol at long last, am really enjoying the new season of Severance, and am reading Marjorie Finnegan: Temporal Criminal by Garth Ennis. Fun book!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Superman #4.

6 Thoughts on the First Season of Peacemaker
Welp, here we are. After all the movies, all the drama, all the weird plans and random spin-offs. After all the acting controversies and reboots and new directions. After all that stuff, we finally have the best thing to come out of the DC Expanded Universe, and it’s a TV show about Peacemaker. How did this even happen?
TV Show Rating: 10/10 – Fantastic!
I’ll be frank, I’m not the biggest fan of the DCEU. I don’t particularly like Zack Snyder’s various Justice League movies, and I endlessly chortle at DC’s failure to ape the winning formula of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But I’ve watched it all, because I’m a sucker for superheroes, and I can confidently declare that Peacemaker is as good as it gets. There’s even a very strong chance that I’ve enjoyed Peacemaker more than every Marvel TV show so far. Blasphemy, I know, but Peacemaker is that damn good (I’ll probably walk back that claim pretty quickly in the long run). Peacemaker is damn fine TV and I’m so glad more seasons have already been ordered.
Join me after the jump for my full thoughts and review of the first season of Peacemaker. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the series as a whole. And feel free to share your own thoughts/review in the comments!

The Peacemaker TV show is coming out in a week, and it looks cool as heck! I loved The Suicide Squad on the big screen, and knowing that James Gunn produced this spin-off show means great things. So enjoy this new trailer.
This show just looks bigger and weirder and funnier with each passing trailer. Will it live up to its own hype? Only time will tell…time being next week! Peacemaker comes to HBO Max on Jan. 13.
