Superman and Spider-Man Are Gonna Team Up, Too!
Remember the Batman and Deadpool crossover comics this past autumn? They were great! And as many people surmised, they were only the beginning! Superman and Spider-Man were suspiciously missing from the various crossover stories, and that’s because Marvel and DC are giving those fancy heroes their own crossover issues next March and April. We got our first look at the first issue this week.
There are a whole bunch more covers to look at if you’d like! I’m not a cover collector.
The main story will be written by Mark Waid, with artwork by Jorge Jimenez. Then there will be a bunch more smaller crossovers in this first issue.
- Lois Lane and Mary Jane Watson by Tom King and Jim Lee.
- Jimmy Olsen and Carnage by Matt Fraction and Steve Lieber.
- Power Girl and Punisher by Gail Simone and Belen Ortega.
- Pa Kent and Uncle Ben by Jeff Lemire and Rafa Sandoval.
- Spider-Man 2099 and the Legion of Super-heroes by Sean Murphy.
- Superboy Prime and Black Suit Spider-Man by Christopher Priest and Daniel Sampere.
- The Daily Planet and The Daily Bugle by Greg Rucka and Nicola Scott.
Hot damn those sound awesome! As a newspaper man myself, I love the idea of Greg Rucka writing a short story about the journalistic backgrounds of both Clark Kent and Peter Parker. That should be fun! And I’m very confident that Fraction and Lieber can pull off a really crazy crossover between Carnage and Jimmy Olsen.
So yeah! Loved the first two crossover issues, can’t wait to see more. And I really do hope all of this leads to a new Amalgam event in the very near future!

Just This Really Dumb, Hilarious Thing I Found Online
I spend a lot of time just randomly surfing the internet on any given day. It’s pretty fun. Good way to spend a life. And then I randomly came across this really funny video this morning. Super Guy. Just watch it.
That’s just funny. It works so perfectly. This KhalidSMShahin person made some absolute internet perfection. What a fun and entertaining way to start my day. And it just keeps getting better as it goes along, just keeps elevating. Watch all the way through!
Today’s gonna be an OK day.

Hench-Sized Comic Reviews – 9/6/25
Happy Birthday to me! Enough years have passed that my birthday once again falls on a Saturday, so I get to share some comic reviews for my birthday! And what a darn good week for comics, like Absolute Superman and Absolute Wonder Woman! Honestly, I’ve been reading way more DC books than Marvel these days…
Comic Book of the Week goes to Batman #1 because it’s a very strong start for the Matt Fraction run of the Caped Crusader.
Meanwhile, not doing anything special for my birthday because that’s what happens when you’re in your 40s. I bought myself a new computer, and that’s running nicely. And I splurged on some graphic novels and action figures. So feeling pretty good. And I’ll be sharing some comic book news soon enough!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Superman #11, Absolute Wonder Woman #11, Amazing Spider-Man #11, Batman #1 and Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League #2.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/30/25
Not a lot going on this week and I didn’t post much. I really need to turn that around. But I tweaked my back yesterday and the pain really stopped any sort of anything from happening. Still read some good comics though, like Superman and Void Rivals.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Martian Manhunter for a wild and crazy first arc finale!
Meanwhile, I binged both the new season of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Long Story Short this past week. Sunny is always a hoot, and Long Story Short — from the creators of my favorite show, BoJack Horseman — lived up to all the hype and hope I had for it! Such a wonderful show! I cannot wait for future seasons!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Martian Manhunter #6, Superman #29, Void Rivals #22 and X-Men #21.
Read the rest of this entryHere’s a Fun Little Krypto Cartoon Short
To coincide with the Superman movie releasing digitally this week, DC and Warner Bros. have put together this little Krypto cartoon short. It’s only about 5 minutes long and is perfectly harmless fun, starring the movie version of Kypto and not any of the multitude of other animated Kryptos from the past. Watch it while you can, because it may get taken down at some point.
See? Harmless fun.
I only saw the Superman movie once in theaters, so I’ll probably grab a digital download at some point and watch again at home. I still want to catch Fantastic Four a second time in theaters if I can…
There will be a few more Krypto shorts coming along for the holidays, I think…
