Our First Superman Trailer is Here!
The hype has been building all week and the trailer is finally here! Our first look at James Gunn’s Superman movie!
I dig it! I like almost all of the elements in this trailer and I am fully on board with this vision of Superman. I’m fully on board with everything James Gunn wants to do or would like to do. I don’t think he has ever led me astray. So bring it on!
I loved Krypto. I loved the look of Superman and pretty much all of the characters. I dig the tone. And we don’t know much of anything yet, so it definitely counts as just a teaser. We see a ton of stuff in this trailer and all of it looks good to me.
The only thing I don’t like is the reliance on the original Superman movie theme and any of that imagery. I know that everybody loves those original Christopher Reeves movies…but I don’t really care about them. And I don’t want every single new Superman adaptation to be beholden to them. I know that musical score is fantastic…but c’mon. This was a great chance to be wholly original. Ah well. I’m never going to win that argument.
Superman comes to theaters on July 11.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/26/24
What an interesting week for comics! We have a ton of first issues this week, whether brand new series or just the start of a big new run by a new creative team. Stuff like Tom Taylor on Detective Comics or a new Iron Man.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Wonder Woman #1 for another awesome alternate reality reboot. I hope Superman is just as good when it comes out!
Meanwhile, I saw Venom: The Last Dance this week and hated it! What a garbage movie! I was able to find something to enjoy in the first two, so I haven’t been a total Venom movie hater. But man, this third one was a real stinker on every conceivable level. I’ll post my full thoughts/review sometime next week. Other than that, Star Trek: Lower Decks is back on the air, so awesome. And I’ve started playing Baldur’s Gate 3 again. Good times.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Wonder Woman #1, Dazzler #2, Detective Comics #1090, Iron Man #1 and Superman #19.

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.

James Gunn posted this picture online today to reveal our first official look at the new movie Superman, played by actor David Corenswet. I think it looks great! This image is going to be picked apart by the various vultures on the internet, and I’m one of them, to a degree! Only my picking apart is all praise. Looks great to me.
I’m looking forward to this new movie — which comes out on July 11 next year. I have nothing but complete and total faith in James Gunn and his moviemaking. He’s going to make an incredible film! And he’s going to hopefully spearhead and incredible new DC Cinematic Universe.
The suit looks good to me. It’s a bit on the dark side, but that’s fine. Honestly, I would definitely prefer this look over some bright, skintight spandex. The suit looks good, the colors are good, the symbol is good; he’s apparently wearing the red trunks, which I fully support. The cape attachment looks fine to me. Yeah, I’ve got no real complaints! Bring on the new movie!
And here’s a List of Six I did some time ago for everything I’d like to see in the new movie.

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.
