Behold, the Wolverine Video Game!
Yesterday, we got the biggest look to date of the upcoming Wolverine video game — for which I’ve secured an entire week off from work to play. Can’t wait! It was a Playstation State of Play exhibit and we got a long gameplay video/trailer. See for yourself.
I think it looks great! I think it looks very on-rails, but it’s going to be that type of video game. This isn’t an open sandbox game, like Crimson Desert. This seems more like The Last of Us with Wolverine. And I’m fine with that. A game is gonna be what it is. I like the level of violence. I like the visible healing, even if it means his suit ‘heals’ as well. That’s just something we need to set aside in our minds. I like the use of cameos. Saw Leech and a bunch of others. It all looks great to me!
Apparently in this new continuity, the X-Men don’t exist and instead we’ve got Team X, which includes Wolverine and Jean Grey. Interesting. I’m more than willing to see where they go with that story idea. I am totally fine with Insomniac creating their own universe continuity. It means familiar faces can show up in weird places! Of course, that might also again mean that my favorite mutant — Multiple Man — might end up being henchmen fodder…but I can probably live with that if it means Multiple Man gets to even appear.
Game looks good to me! Can’t wait to play! Wolverine comes to Playstation on Sept. 15.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 5/23/26
Happy Memorial Day Weekend to everybody in America! I’m traveling to visit family this weekend and it should be a good time. But before I left, I got in some good comic reading, like Wonder Woman, Spider-Man and even Wolverine!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Green Arrow #1 for another excellent launch of a new Absolute Comic!
Meanwhile, I’m still deep into Crimson Desert and how to extend that game through the whole summer! The dev team keeps coming out with weekly patches that add a whole bunch of free content, and now I’m a little afraid of beating the game and missing out on what they come up with next! So I’m in for the long haul. Beyond that, I highly recommend the TV shows Rooster and The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins; both really fun shows! Haven’t seen The Mandalorian and Grogu yet because I’m getting together with some old pals to check it out next weekend. Should be fun.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Green Arrow #1, Amazing Spider-Man #29, Wonder Woman #33, Batwoman #3 and Wolverine: Weapons of Armageddon #4.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 2/21/26
My relationship with comics is so weird these days. I’m loving pretty much everything DC is putting out, I’m very very lukewarm on anything Marvel is attempting, and I’ve all but given up on the Energon Universe. I’ve got a vacation coming up, and I think I’m gonna try to get caught up on all the comics I’ve let fall to the wayside so that I have more review options. Anyway, here’s Captain America and the Ultimate Spider-Man finale.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Batman #17, which delivers another absolute banger as it introduces Absolute Poison Ivy.
Meanwhile, I finally finished Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. It was a solid, enjoyable RPG that wasn’t as deep as I might have preferred, but it was a fun play. Now I’m on the search for my next game to play, and I don’t want to spend much money…I’m also rewatching all of Star Trek: Lower Decks to finish my recent Trek binge. The show absolutely and wonderfully holds up. I hope to see these characters again someday.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #17, Captain America #7, Ultimate Spider-Man #24, Wolverine: Weapons of Armageddon #1 and Wonder Woman #30.
Read the rest of this entryHoly Cow! Wolverine Video Game Trailer!
We’ve known for a few years now that Insomniac was making a Wolverine video game. They’ve done a fantastic job on all the Spider-Man games, and I’m in favor of them making all sorts of superhero games! Wolverine especially!
Looks amazing! Looks a little cut scene heavy, but what do I know? The fighting looks good too. And hopefully a lot of that is active game play. The costume looks great. The gore is on fire. This is a damn good trailer!
Wolverine has had some great video games in the past. The X-Men Origins: Wolverine game, in particular, was a wonderful time! So I can only hope we get something similar and something new and awesome out of this.
Also, they put out a behind-the-scenes segment as well! Just found this and am adding it to my original post.
For now, the Wolverine game is scheduled for next fall in 2026. We’ll see. It’s just nice knowing it’s coming out sooner rather than later at this point.

Did You See This Sweet Marvel Disney+ Trailer?
To coincide with the Agatha All Along finale, Marvel put out this sizzle reel of upcoming Disney+ releases. This teaser trailer delivers our first official looks at Daredevil: Born Again, Ironheart, Eyes of Wakanda, Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man and, especially, Wonder Man! Everything looks so good!
I remain a staunch fan of Marvel Studios content. Agatha All Along was very good and I really enjoyed the finale. And I can’t wait for these shows! I know people aren’t too excited for Ironheart, but I think it looks good! I prefer my Iron People to be nuts and bolts, not nanomachines. And Wonder Man could be a real sleeper hit. Daredevil: Born Again will hopefully live up to all the hype. And the various cartoons should be a hoot!
Granted, this means 2025 is going to be full of Marvel content, with three movies and now half a dozen shows. But I think Marvel just needs to burn off all these completed projects before they slow their releases. And I’m all for it!
