Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/15/26
I hope these reviews are doing some good for somebody somewhere. I often realize that I only really read the comics I like, which are a fraction of the total comics that come out in a single week. But hey, I like what I like! For example, Fury of Firestorm! And maybe the new Miles Morales: Spider-Man relaunch!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Batman #23 for another banger issue that is jam-packed with good stuff!
Meanwhile, Dying Light 2 was free on Playstation this month, so I’m gonna play that until Star Wars: Zero Company comes out at the end of the month. Should keep me busy. I watched and loved the finale of season two of X-Men ’97, and will post my full thoughts on the whole season next week. Stay tuned for that. I also watched and enjoyed the second season of Batman: Caped Crusader. May or may not post my thoughts. And I can’t wait for Lanterns tomorrow! Should be fun!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #23, Fury of Firestorm #5 and Miles Morales: Spider-Man #1.

A new episode of Deep Space Discounts came out last week and I’m sharing! Because I want to!
Another hoot! If you’re not familiar, Deep Space Discounts is the original cartoon by YouTube animator DeepBlueInk. I love his work —mostly because he does animatics of Dropout, Drawfee and My Brother, My Brother and Me content, all of which I watch and enjoy. And I’m all in on support Deep Blue Ink’s series! And I hope you like it too.
Until next episode!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/8/26
What a fun week for comics and comic book fans. We’re all still basking in the glory of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, of X-Men casting news, and all sorts of other good things. Yet didn’t review the new Spider-Man comic…that’s on me. Anyway, I did review some good stuff like Absolute Superman and Batman.
Comic Book of the Week goes to The Deadman #3 for a truly marvelous artistic experience.
Meanwhile, I’ve finally, at long last, wrapped up my time in Crimson Desert. I squeezed at least 3 to 4 months out of that game. Had a great time. Loved the whole thing. It would probably be my game of the year…except we’ve still got Wolverine and Grand Theft Auto 6 coming out. Beyond that, I’ve started the second season of Batman: Caped Crusader, and that’s going fine. And if you haven’t seen my review, I absolutely loved Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
I’ve also spent the past week arguing on Reddit that a certain character at the end of the film did NOT get their memories back. I feel like I’ve been taking crazy pills at how many people online seem to think that’s what happened. It’s insane! Come at me in the comments!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Superman #22, Batman #12, The Deadman #3, Iron Man #8 and Uncanny X-Men #33.
Read the rest of this entryThe Violent Night Sequel is Coming!
Violent Night was a great film David Harbour as Santa Claus kicking butt and taking names. What a hoot! And now it’s getting a sequel! Violent Night 2!
Looks like fun! Looks like some more violent action, which is what we want. And some charming humor. And a showdown in a mall. Makes sense to me. And Mrs. Claus looks like a hoot! I was initially concerned about the age gap…but it turns out they’re only, like, four years apart in age. Such is the state of ladies aging in Hollywood these days.
Violent Night 2 comes to theaters on Dec. 4.

6 Thoughts on Spider-Man: Brand New Day (Review)
It’s that time again! New Spider-Man movie time! I’ve been reviewing Spider-Man movies on this blog since way back in the Amazing Spider-Man days. And I’ve loved all of them! I don’t know if they’ve ever made a real stinker of a Spider-Man movie. I don’t remember how I felt coming out of Spider-Man 3…Regardless, we’ve got a new director, a new direction maybe and a new Spider-Man movie to talk about!
Movie Rating: 10/10 – Fantastic!
I loved this movie, as I’ve loved all Spider-Man movies. I had a ton of fun. I’m starting to worry that my local theater just can’t play new movies to a quality degree, but that’s a me problem, not a movie problem. I’m still a big fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and I never once doubted this movie. It lived up to all the hype it has been getting and I can’t wait to see how it does at the box office this weekend. The people love Spider-Man. This dude loves Spider-Man. We all love Spider-Man!
Join me after the jump for my full thoughts and review of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the movie, the characters and the surprises. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.
