#MarvelLegends Uncanny #Spider-Man ( #Nightcrawler) I was ecstatic to add this to my #Krakoa era #X-Men collection, bringing the total to three. Swashbuckling & wallcrawling are a great fit. He even comes with a #BAMF. His weird grip is my only issue. Now bring on the #HellfireGala & #RasputinIV. 🤟

Ultimate #X-Men (2024) 1-24 I wasn't really familiar with her game, but between #MarvelRivals & this I am now a big Peach Momoko fan. The X-Men are reimagined as a dark fairytale set in Japan, rendered in ethereal watercolour. It has a dream like pacing but gets a little fast & loose by the end. 🤟

#Alien Vs. #CaptainAmerica (2025) 1-4 What a pleasant surprise. The inclusion of the #Kree & classic #CaptainMarvel added dimensionality. The WWII setting is uniquely compelling. There is something hilariously absurd about soldiers storming Normandy on D-Day only to be met with a #Xenomorph horde 👍

#X-Men 3: The Official Game (2006) on #Nintendo DS It's all touchscreen so you auto-attack colour coded enemies needing specifically #Wolverine, #Iceman or #Magneto to deal damage. It wants you to replay the painfully boring levels for upgrades. Magneto is the only one who justifies the controls. 👎

#X-Men 3: The Official Game (2006) on #Nintendo Game Boy Advance A pretty basic side-scroller where you swap on the fly between #Wolverine, #Iceman, #Nightcrawler & #Colossus. You could run past enemies but will need their collectables to beat the bosses. The Chris Bachalo art is the best part. 😑

Eyes of #Wakanda Season 1 It doesn’t nearly reach the impossibly high bar of the films, but it’s about time we got to spend more time in this world. The concept & art style are incredibly strong but the animation & direction don’t do them justice. We need a traditional #BlackPanther cartoon now. 👍

#X-Men 3: The Official Game (2006) on #Xbox 360 It is bare bones & can be beaten in a sitting, but is set before the movie so as to not spoil anything, which I like. I also commend them for including #Iceman & #Nightcrawler, even if they don't play well. The bad photoshop cutscenes are laughable. 👎

#MoonGirlAndDevilDinosaur Season 2 This was the perfect cartoon & #Disney killed it. They banned the trans sports episode "The Gatekeeper", so I fear the cancelation was political. In a just world this would have run 10 seasons & fuelled the nostalgia of kinder & smarter generations of children. 🤟

Ultimate #BlackPanther (2024) 1-24 It is well paced with clean art, but I really don’t like what they did with #Storm in the messy & disappointing 3rd act. The love triangle with #Killmonger was pretty compelling though. #MoonKnight was a strong antagonist & really should have stayed to the end. 😑

#MarvelZombies: Red Band (2025) 1-5 I got this in excitement for the show. It's a fresh start with the infection beginning with the origin of the #FantasticFour, but don't ask how everyone got established during a zombie apocalypse. Like everything #Marvel is doing right now, it leads to #Knull. 😑

#Lego #Marvel #Spider-Man Vs. #Oscorp (2025) A much better set to fill out a Marvel cityscape. It comes with Oscorp, #EddieBrock 's apartment above a Mini Mart and a Marvellous Jewelry store. It also connects to the #PeterParker 's apartment set. The odd #GreenGoblin minifig is my main complaint. 👍

#Lego #Marvel Super Heroes 2 (2017) on #Xbox One The first Lego game that clicked with me since the original #StarWars. #Chronopolis is just #Battleworld from #SecretWars & one of the best open worlds period. The disparate sections blend reminiscent of random Lego sets displayed in a child's room 👍

#WonderMan, Episode 8 It was down to the wire but they succeeded in making me like #Trevor again. They also never let the tropes drag on the pacing. I was dreading the whiplash from a big traditional super hero ending, but thankfully they followed through with the vision and it paid off big-time. 🤟

#WonderMan, Episode 6 While this is easily the weakest instalment I am still happily along for the ride now. This quirky director stereotype isn't working, but I've hit the point of a good dramedy where I just want everything to work out for these two & am really dreading the other shoe dropping. 👍

#WonderMan, Episode 5 Even the cost cutting at #DamageControl feels like a meta commentary on scaling back the #MCU during this shows development. With the action kicking in the energy has become fully infectious. While I've still had enough #Trevor, I can't deny this buddy comedy duo is working. 🤟

#WonderMan, Episode 4 Surprisingly, the seasons best episode so far doesn't even feature Yahya Abdul-Mateen II & Ben Kingsley. This black & white #Doorman detour was a wonderful surprise. It was so good I now want the #MarvelSpotlight label to be an anthology series of obscure characters origins. 🤟

#WonderMan, Episode 3 I can definitely picture Demetrius Grosse fully decked out as the #GrimReaper. Unfortunately, I doubt we'll get there because that would take more than one season. The dialogue is incredibly relatable. That line about feeling lonely surrounded by movie posters felt targeted. 👍

#WonderMan, Episode 2 I have zero interest in #DamageControl or #Trevor, so it’s up to Yahya & he’s carrying it so far. Joe Pantoliano was truly the perfect choice for that cameo. Timing the viewer finding the characters right as they are developing them is incredibly elegant meta story telling. 👍

#WonderMan, Episode 1 I’m one of those sickos who liked the #Mandarin twist, but I hated #Trevor in Dustin Daniel Cretton's otherwise superb #Shang-Chi. A meta peek under the hood feels well overdue with how #Marvel took over Hollywood. So far it's just a fun time with two masters of their craft. 👍

#Lego #Marvel #Spider-Man Peter Parker’s Apartment (2025) I needed some smaller building sets to fill out my Marvel cityscape, but this is pretty insubstantial. I would easily ditch #Anti-Venom & the #Spider-Slayer to add another floor to this thing. That #Hobgoblin minifigure is a keeper though. 👎

#Lego #Marvel #Avengers: Strange Tails (2025) Season 1 Why only 2 episodes? Hawkeye begrudgingly teams with cat themed heroes to stop a toxoplasma gondii invasion. It's got some charm but the climax with #TheSphinx was a let down. Luckily, that bizarre Christmas themed stinger softened the blow. 😑

#MarvelLegends #Punisher ( #Daredevil: Born Again) They really captured Jon Bernthal's mean mug & huge Italian quiff. I hope he keeps this hair in #Spider-Man: Brand New Day just so I don't need another. He sports a blade, hatchet & pistol. The worn-out skull looks great across his tactical gear. 👍

#Lego #Marvel #Avengers (2016) on #Xbox One The story mode is a mess. If they're sampling voices it really should have a level for each film. Cutting the comics content for a complete #MCU Phase 1 & 2 would differentiate it. It's more polished overall, but the last boss crashes the game in co-op. 😑

#Lego #FantasticFour vs. #Galactus I've been dreaming of a giant Galactus since I started my #Marvel cityscape. He's a little smaller than #Arishem, which makes sense. He comes with the FF but #TheThing not being a big figure & skipping #SilverSurfer is just sad when this is the only set we get. 👍

#Battleworld (2025) 1-5 It's chock-full of nostalgia that I love, including #SecretWars, #StarBrand & #Korvac. Unfortunately, it's less than the sum of its parts. It was also an all-too-common bad editorial decision to put this out the same time that #Avengers is revisiting Hickman's Battleworld. 😑

#Lego #Marvel #X-Mansion (2024) This build was a breeze. I'm glad they fit the #DangerRoom in but can't help but imagine a deluxe version with a #Cerebro basement, basketball court with #X-Jet hanger & more than one bedroom. The #Sentinel is great but why does it have dog like digitigrade legs? 👍

#Lego #Marvel #Avengers: Mission Demolition (2024) This has none of the charm of Code Red. Usually theres something to help get adults through. It's even devoid of clever cameos & easter eggs. I figured seeing #Terrax & #DemolitionMan would be fun but I can't imagine a worse way to portray them. 💩

#Lego #Marvel #Avengers Tower (2023) This is absolutely massive & hard to photograph in 16:9. The build's much less monotonous than the #DailyBugle. Unfortunately, it's not accurate to the #MCU design which is a standard building for the 1st several stories. Also #Hulk can't hang from the window. 😑

#MarvelLegends #Spider-Man #Noir & #Spider-Ham These have been kicking around my #EBGames for years. The upcoming show hyped me up enough to pull the trigger & I'm glad I did. Noir is incredibly slick with the dramatic trench coat & stunning comic print textures. Porker needed black web textures. 🤟

#Lego #Marvel #Eternals #Arishem (2021) I found this heavily discounted at my pawn shop for Boxing Day. The only silver lining of the Eternals movie flopping. Arishem looks amazing & was a fun build. It comes with the comics most popular Eternals, #Ikaris & #Sersi. The #Deviant is nonsense though 👍

#Lego #DailyBugle (2021) This was my first massive Lego set & it was quite the undertaking. The build was incredibly repetitive due to its simple symmetrical nature. The hours of labour were worth it because this thing is amazing. Suddenly I needed to collect the full #Marvel Manhattan cityscape. 🤟

#Predator Kills The #Marvel Universe (2025) 1-5 The culmination of the various Marvel/Predator crossovers. It isn't as strong as the #Spider-Man crossover, but is still the second best of the bunch. The use of #Kraven adds another layer to help avoid it feeling like just another alien invasion. 👍

#Lego #Marvel #Avengers: Code Red (2023) We are having a Lego heavy holidays so I figured I'd try these out. I was surprised to see it was a stealth Christmas movie. The plot is fun & totally something a kid would dream up. I was sold by the #Wolverine swimsuit pin-up reference & #RedShift cameo. 👍

#MarvelLegends #BlackBolt & #Triton 2-Pack I liked the last Black Bolt with energy emanating from his tuning fork, but he was oddly blue. If this had the energy effect he'd be the definitive Boltagon. Triton finally rounds out the #Inhumans Royal Family with a swappable head with breathing mask. 👍

#Lego #Marvel Super Heroes: Universe in Peril (2013) on #Nintendo 3DS They ditched the open world, split the levels into 3 & removed the puzzles. They could have done more on 3DS but its just a port of the mobile game. Dying resets the level so it's a little harder. The FMVs are laughably low-res.👎

One World Under #Doom (2025) 1-9, Doomed 2099, #RedHulk 1-10, Will of Doom 1, etc. The best #Marvel event since Hickman's #SecretWars. Ryan North treats #Dr.Doom with a care & respect reminiscent of Jim Starlin's work on #Thanos. R.B. Silva is a master of the craft. That finale was truly perfect. 🤟

#Lego #Marvel Super Heroes (2013) on #Xbox One As a #Nintendo fan I've always found the Lego games too janky. I'm used to family friendly games that are heavily polished. They are best played co-op with an inexperienced gamer. It always bugged me that buildings in these games aren't made of Lego. 😑

#MarvelLegends #Medusa & #Gorgon 2-Pack The #Inhumans Royal Family arrived in time for Christmas! This is a weird complaint, but Gorgon is too big. I have him fully crouched but he still towers over nearly every other Legends figure. His mace also doesn't fit his hands. They are great otherwise. 👍

#MarvelLegends #Starfox & #Champion of the Universe 2-Pack I wonder which they see as the selling point? Glad to finally be getting the #EldersOfTheUniverse. I did not expect to get Champion 1st, but I'll take it. He looks good but really needed some expression. Thankfully #Eros has that covered. 👍

#MarvelLegends #MagicTheGathering Battle-Damaged #Spider-Man I have been waiting for an updated Battled-Damaged Spidey but have no interest in #Magic, so my brother gets the card. The figure looks great, but in my head I was picturing a tear revealing his mouth. The hair is a nice touch though. 👍

Ultimate Universe: Two Years In (2025) 1 The Ultimate #GuardiansOfTheGalaxy get the spotlight before the lights go out. Seems like plans were upended by the abrupt end of the Ultimate line. It's great to see #PhoenixIX & #UltimateNullifier again, but the absurd Ultimate #Daredevil steals the show.👍

#Marvel Cosmic Invasion on #Nintendo Switch 2 A retro beat 'em up inspired by #Annihilation. I have never felt more seen. The graphics & gameplay vastly improve on #ShreddersRevenge with the ability to tag in a 2nd hero, but the overall presentation falls short without #Wu-Tang on the soundtrack. 👍

#Godzilla Destroys The #Marvel Universe (2025) 1-5 I loved this years one-shots, but what I really wanted was a crossover series as a modern follow-up to the 70's Marvel Godzilla. I'm happy to say this is (the 1st act of) that series I've wanted for decades. Javier Garron's art is truly titanic. 👍

#Deadpool / #Batman (2025) 1, #Batman / #Deadpool 1 These crossovers are always fun. The stakes are non-existent so its fully fuelled by character interactions with art from some of the industries top talent. The #Marvel issue is a much better read, but the #DC framing of the event is incredible. 👍

#MarvelLegends #Gargantos (Gamerverse) This is absurdly awesome. He's massive with 6 bendy tentacles and a movable eye. I fear the bendiness won't age. I know #Marvel lost the name #Shuma-Gorath, but the inspiration #Shub-Niggurath is public domain, so it should remain an homage to #H.P.Lovecraft 🤟

#MarvelZombies Season 1 This easily has the best action of the #Marvel Animation projects. The problem is the subject demands heightened drama & the emotion falls flat outside the first episode. It's littered with genius small details that really flesh out the world between truly epic set pieces. 👍

#Imperial (2025) 1-4, #Nova - Centurion, etc. Hickman on #Marvel Cosmic is a dream, so I feel bad saying I would have preferred an ongoing. Like #GODS, the new direction is promising but it needed a shocking climax to truly mark the event. The powerful chaotic art adds anime flair to the action. 👍

#Blade II (2002) on #PlayStation 2 They replaced the weak combat with an innovative system using the right stick to attack in any direction, a precursor to #Batman Arkham's combat focused on crowd control. It can be clunky but helps give it a unique personality. Blade really only has good games. 👍

Death of the #SilverSurfer (2025) 1-4 This was setup to lose. The off-putting #MCU synergy, the protagonist effectively being an ICE agent & the tired death of a hero trope. Plus, Silver Surfer: Requiem already did it & was a masterpiece. While this was a miss, I hope it leads to more #Warbound. 👎

FCBD Ultimate Universe (2025) 1, Ultimate #Spider-Man: Incursion 1-5 The first let down of the new Ultimate Universe comics I've read. It's definitely not essential reading for the current Ultimate line. Miles clumsily bounces between chance meetings chasing a nonsensical MacGuffin. Its a mess. 👎
