The Devil Wears Prada 2 ( April 30, 2026)

On By TheDanielWhoWritesIn Movie Reactions/ReviewsLeave a comment

Well, that was a fantastic movie!

I loved seeing the characters again. And the new ones were great too! the returning characters felt the same as when we first met them but also changed. And the new ones were refreshing.

The story was the expectedly twisty and turny. A couple things I saw coming but I was a bit late on others. The pacing was good, I felt the time in the theater, but since I was happy to be back in this world, I didn’t mind it at all. And there was one moment that I was so happy for and I did tear up from. Well deserved indeed.

There were times that the music was a bit overpowering, but it didn’t happen much.

There were of course many fashion cameos, only one of which I recognized. The same person that I recognized in the first movie, haha.

This was such an enjoyable movie. If you enjoyed the first one, then you will probably enjoy this too.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (April 1, 2026) — saw it today

That was such a fun movie!

Saw it in RealD 3D. The visuals were fun in 3D. And the animation was of course fantastic.

The actors all did great jobs in their roles, new and returning. It was nice to be back in this world again. There’s one scene introducing a new character (one that made people excited when it was revealed online) and there a fantastic 2D animation sequence explaining his backstory, and I really would like a 2D animated movie for that character that leads to a normal CG second and third act, or just third act.

The story was unsurprising as it’s how this IP works. But it was nice to see connections to what we’ve seen before. And as I don’t know tons about the Mario IP, it was enjoyable to learn things as I went. Having said that, I have no idea if details are the same or different in the game lore.

The movie went by quickly, but didn’t feel rushed. And of course the comedy was enjoyable. Fun call-backs and some new stuff.

The one odd thing was the way it ended. the final moments of the main movie ended on such an abrupt note. I expected a more natural conclusion. I’ve seen this happen with TV-movies where there isn’t a wrapping-up things up kind of ending, the movie just stops. I don’t tend to like the lack of closure.

All-in-all, this was such a fun movie to see in theaters, I’m glad that I got to enjoy it on the big screen!

Mid-credit scene: Yes. A fun and slightly creepy scene.

End-credit scene: Yes. Setting up what’s to come next (similar to how the Sonic movies end revealing the next new character).

Young Clark meets some of the future Justice League in Action comics. Something rage-filled is happening in Green Lantern Corps. There is a Kara cyborg. We got a Firestorm miniseries started. Black Cat has some trouble within the Siege Perilous. There seems to be a lot going on for the Uncanny X-Men in both the main issue and the annual. We have a new other Venom in a one-shot. And the next issue of Maul’s comic dropped.

Nathan Szerdy drew and colored this cover so well!

We get the first of these lantern emotional spectrum names on this Jorge Fornés set. And here’s the next Gonzales variant.

I always love seeing a Villalobos cover, look at that! And that Swaby cover is great too!

The next cover and variant for Sirens.

Always happy for a blank variant. Look at that Frison variant! It’s creepy and fantastic! And it’s always fun to see Mephisto on the The End 2099 cover.

The next Momoko cover and a great Allred variant!

It’s always fun to see the title on a cover to be destroyed by something on the cover design. It’s a great Hughes cover. And this Anka variant is gorgeous.

I feel like it’s been a while since I got a Simone Di Meo cover. Hela looks great!

Another Ultimate Farewell cover, but this one I got for Maystorm. And here’s the next color block variant.

Dani looks spectacular on this Frisian variant.

The next Death Spiral connecting variant and color block variant.

I really like this character design. It reminds me very much of the Spider-Carnage design from the 90’s animated series. The main cover is by Stefano Caselli and Frederico Blee. The design variant is by Vecchio. And the other variant is of course a Momoko.

This is the next headshot variant by Aka. And the Gist variant of Dinn looks great!

Here’s the poster of the Werneck cover! It looks so good!

We got a MAD Magazine DC issue. Batman/Superman World’s Finest got to its 50th issue of this run. Kevin Smith is giving us a Bizarro miniseries! A new Alien title started. Also, a new MTG comic started focusing on the Planeswalker Jace. We got a Deadpool April Fool’s Day special. Wonder Man got a new run along with Daredevil getting a new run! Captain Marvel got a new miniseries! And the Eternals got a 50th Anniversary special!

This is a fantastic 1:25 incentive cover of Ivy for this Batman issue by David Aja. I’ve mentioned these 1:25 covers before that my store mostly doesn’t get if they don’t have the amount. So, it was nice that this issue got through.

These Poison Ivy variants look fantastic! The first is by Eom. The second by Manny Vincent Carbonilla. The dark and light colors look amazing!

I tend to like Christian Ward covers that are more landscapes or psychedelic designs, but that dragon looks cool! And the JSA variant is simply because of Spectre.

The variants for this commemorative issue.

Dan Mora is just so good!

The 50 design looks great! Adrián Gutiérrez did a great job! Vasco Georgiev drew Babs and Kara really well. And I always love seeing Batman Beyond TAS-style designs like this Ty Templeton one.

I love the way that Nick Pitarra and Michael Garland drew and colored the Bizarro Earth. And the other variant is one of the two Weird Al Yankovich cameo variants by Dan Mora.

This is the next of the Nakayama color block variants. This is, of course, the white cover set within the set. And the next variant is a Momoko cover that’s saying farewell to the Ultimate Universe.

Such a great Luciano Vecchio variant of Stephen and Angela.

The next Nakayama color block variant. And this is the next connecting cover.

A fun headshot variant by Phil Noto.

Some of the many variants for this new run’s number 1.

We have another Marvel Studios concept art variant by Jackson Sze of Muse. The next one is one from the 250th Anniversary of the United States by Greg Land. I love this Momoko variant of Daredevil. And I got a blank variant of course. And finally, a great dynamic variant by Dan Panosian.

When I first saw this cover revealed online, I thought that it was a Jen Bartel cover. I was excited to think that she’d returned to comics. But then I realized that it was a Werneck cover. It still looks fantastic! And the next cover is the next Nakayama color block variant. And another 250th Anniversary variant by Joelle Jones.

And the Celestials look fantastic on this ACO variant.

March 2026 Late Issues 3

All variants. The top three are second printing covers for Absolute Wonder Woman 16. The animation variants for Escape From Skull Island 1 and 2. And another copy of the homage cover for that Storm issue.

For longer than I’d like to, while sorting these piles, I thought that this first cover was just the first printing. Then I realized that the title was different and remembered that it was a second printing cover. The Guillem March variant looks great in foil. And the Mark Brooks cover is Absolutely gorgeous. So-much-so that I bought a graded copy of the issue on eBay a few minutes after taking the photo.

Project Hail Mary (March 20, 2026) Saw it today

Amazing as the hype made it out to be!

This was just wonderful! I loved it! A fantastic job by directors Lord and Miller. And of course Ryan Gosling was brilliant too.

I have the same feelings I had after watching Arrival and Interstellar and other film like those. The wonder of space and the possibilities of science and such.

The score and music included were amazing of course. and the visuals were as gorgeous as anything.

The tone of the movie was heartfelt. And even though I did feel the length of the movie, I welcomed it because I loved being with the characters so much.

I’m so glad I got to see this in a theater and in IMAX.

The Drama (April 3, 2026) saw it today

Wow. Well, I didn’t know anything about this movie at all, and that certainly made the subject matter a shock.

It was a fantastic movie though. It certainly got deep into the main characters and went hard at all the feelings and such happening.

The actors all did brilliant jobs with this movie. The emotions were intense and loud. Zendaya and Robert Pattinson were amazing.

I’d perhaps suggest looking up the movie, like a synopsis or something to maybe prepare you for it. incase it could trigger you.

It was an intense movie that I will probably look up a bit to see what the inspiration for it was and stuff.

Hoppers (March 6, 2026) saw it today in 3D

Pixar movies just have a way of hitting you. This was a fantastic movie.

First of all, it was fun in 3D. The story was wonderful, the score was emotional and powerful. The characters were relatable and enjoyable. Also, the animation itself was fantastic as usual for Pixar.

The cast did such a great job with the voices. Some names I know, others I don’t. Some people really know how to really emote doing animation.

The plot was a relatively simple one and it grew and grew. The heart of the main character was so strong. And the climax of her feelings really hits you if you can relate to what she’s feeling.

I really enjoyed this.

This was such a cute movie!

It was an enjoyable romcom with a gorgeous setting and certainly made me hungry for Italian food.

The acting was fantastic, I loved the characters! Each new person we met had a great presence in their role.

The time went by so quickly! The music was enjoyable and it was just a fun watch. The plot is a familiar structure but still entertaining.
