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.
Read the rest of this entryDeep Space Discounts is Back!
I mostly watch garbage on YouTube. It fills my time and hopefully that emptiness in my soul. But sometimes I watch good stuff, like the work of DeepBlueInk. And while he mostly does animatics of YouTubers I like, he’s also got his own original cartoon: Deep Space Discounts! And the second season has arrived!
Good times. Man, if I could afford animation, there’d be so many Gamer Girl & Vixen cartoons…
Anyway, this is a fun show. I posted the first season when it came out last year. But you can obviously find the previous episodes on DeepBlueInk’s YouTube. I’m gonna keep posting the episodes when they come out because I should post some good, quality stuff on this blog occasionally.

I am Very Excited for the Lanterns TV Show
San Diego Comic-Con is in full swing and a bunch of trailers have come out, but it’s a lazy Sunday, so I’m only in the mood to share this one. We’ve got a big, extended, full of stuff trailer for the upcoming Lanterns TV show. I think it looks great.
I always had faith in this show. I didn’t buy into any of the negativity about it being too drab or brown, or there not being enough green, or Hal Jordan being too old. People be complaining about so much stuff these days. But it’s that sort of world, and I try to let it roll off my back. This show looks great. I’m all for a gritty crime drama, and this one is now coupled with the Green Lantern Corps, full of characters and aliens and powers and rings and Sinestro. I’m all-in.
Lanterns comes to HBO Max on Aug. 16.
