Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 9/5/26
Welcome to my birthday weekend! I’ve no big plans. Maybe see my folks. Treat myself to some nice food. I’m gonna buy the Wolverine video game for myself in two weeks. And then I’ve got good comics, like Absolute Superman and Daredevil.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Legion of Super-Heroes #1 for an excellent relaunch of this classic comic.
Meanwhile, I’m greatly enjoying Star Wars: Zero Company. It’s X-Com by way of Star Wars, which is exactly what I wanted. I’m just worried it’s gonna be over too soon with no endless mode — but then I’ll replace it with Wolverine, so I’ll be fine. Beyond games, I finished up the third season of Silo and enjoyed it, and I’m also currently making my way through the newest season of King of the Hill. So I’m in a good place, media and pop culture wise.
Also, stay tuned for a big announcement on one of my own comic projects soon! It’s far past time I introduced my readers to Cover Bard!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Superman #23, Daredevil #6, The Deadman #4 and Legion of Super-Heroes #1.
Read the rest of this entryThe Street Fighter Movie Is Still Coming!
There are still a lot of movies coming out this year and one that I’m very excited for is Street Fighter. Every trailer has looked amazing and hilarious and wickedly crazy. And I can’t wait to see that happen! Seems silly. Seems goofy. Seems wild and crazy. Seems perfect to me!
I don’t care much for the Mortal Kombat movies. The second one won me over by the end, but they’re not very good. But I have such high hopes for Street Fighter. It looks so perfect. The characters look amazing. The tone seems perfect. The effects could be something else! This could be one heck of a movie.
Street Fighter comes to theaters on Oct. 16.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/29/26
This was both a weird and good week for me. I had some trouble sleeping, which sucked. But this was also the week of the Grand Theft Auto VI: Extended Look, and that can raise any week back up! As can good comics, like Amazing Spider-Man!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Wonder Woman #23 for a powerhouse performance by our beloved Amazon warrior woman.
Meanwhile, like I said, I had some fun this week. Grand Theft Auto VI looks amazing! Can’t wait! I also started up Star Wars: Zero Company last night and it’s fun so far! I’ve got a 3-day weekend and I’m going to enjoy the heck out of this new game. I also went and saw Coyote vs. Acme and it was a hoot and a half! Lovely, super fun film. Glad we all got the chance to see it.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Catwoman #3, Absolute Wonder Woman #23, Amazing Spider-Man #999, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #3 and Next Level – One Shot #1.
Read the rest of this entryHere is the Grand Theft Auto VI Extended Look!
If for, whatever reason, this is the first time you’re hearing about or seeing this GTA6 Extended Look, you’re a saint for paying such close attention to my blog. How nice of you. Basically, for GTA6, we’ve had two trailers more than a year ago. And now Rockstar Games has released a half-hour long gameplay showcase. It started out on Netflix, and then came to YouTube last night. It’s gorgeous.
Also, just click through to watch it on YouTube if that’s what the prompt says.
Look, I’m already incredibly hyped for GTA6. I’ve played and loved all mainstream GTA games, all the way back to GTA1. I was there. I played GTA2 like my life depended on it. I bought GTA3 months before I was able to save up enough money to buy a Playstation 4 back in college because I was so excited. I’m hoping I live long enough to play GTA7. So I’ve got GTA gaming in my blood.
I think this looks great. I have zero complaints. I’ll be pre-ordering the $100 version of the game because I can afford an extra $20 if it means more of the game to enjoy. I have zero problem with locking some cosmetics behind a Deluxe Edition. Games have been doing that for ages. I love the idea that, instead of just dumping the bonus goodies in your inventory at the start of the game, Rockstar went to the trouble of inserting them naturally in the game world. I don’t care that video games are going disc-less. I dropped discs ages ago and I’ll probably be too old to care when digital-only comes back to bite us all in the butt.
I just want my GTA6! I took the week off from work when it comes out! Just hook it to my veins!

It’s Star Wars: Zero Company Day! Among Other Major Things
Today should be a pretty fun day! After work, I’m going to go see Coyote vs. Acme in the theaters. That should be a hoot. And today/tonight, we’ll get our first major look at Grand Theft Auto 6! I don’t have an Netflix subscription, so I won’t be able to watch the show when it drops at 3 p.m. today — I’d be at work anyway. But I’ll be tuned it when it goes up on YouTube at 9 p.m.
In the meantime, today is also the release Star Wars: Zero Company, the new tactics-based Star Wars game. That should be fun too!
I love me some X-Com 2, so I can’t wait to play Zero Company. Everybody looks cool. It’s getting great reviews. I’ve got a 3-day weekend coming up. Things are lining up nicely for me. Here’s hoping for the best!
