Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/31/26
Happy Halloween! This is my favorite holiday of the year because I love the pageantry and silliness of it all. Unfortunately, I don’t have any kids of my own and never get any trick-or-treaters, so I don’t usually get to even indulge. Oh well. At least candy will be half off at the store tomorrow. And at least we’ve got some great comics to read, like Absolute Batman and my return to Void Rivals!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Wonder Woman #25 because it’s just a more engaging milestone issue than Absolute Batman #25. I’m not afraid to say it.
Meanwhile, I watched President Curtis this week, the Rick & Morty spin-off, and it was a hoot! Great cast, great premise and sharply written, with the exact sort of dry humor and dialogue I enjoy. I also flew through the new season of Slow Horses. Love that show. And I loved Wildwood last week! Great film! I’m really having a blast with stuff to watch these days.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #25, Absolute Wonder Woman #25, Daredevil #8, Amazing Spider-Man #1002, Superman #43 and Void Rivals #35.

There’s a new TV show coming from the people behind The Good Place and Parks and Recreation. It’s Dig from Michael Schur, starring Amy Poehler and Hugh Laurie! With an appearance from Brennan Lee Mulligan!
I’m always watching TV shows. I’ve got a running list of shows to watch, and I just burn through them. I’m not someone who goes back and rewatches comfort shows. There’s always something new to watch. And the pedigree behind Dig is very impressive and shows a lot of potential, so I’m fully on board!
Dig comes to Peacock on Nov. 23.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/24/26
I don’t know what was going on with me this week, but I wasn’t particularly jazzed by any of the new comics I read this week. There might be something wrong with me if I can’t enjoy Absolute Green Arrow or Wonder Woman!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Fury of Firestorm #7 for a nice start to the new story.
Meanwhile, I just finished the second season of Haunted Hotel on Netflix and it was just as much fun as the first! Definitely recommended if you want a fun little cartoon. I’m going to see Wildwood this weekend and I’m very excited about that. And I’ll be playing 007: First Light until Nov. 19.
Also, thank you to everyone who ordered Cover Bard #1 through my Kickstarter! We hit our fundraising goal and someday soon I’ll have printed copies of my newest comic in hand!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Green Arrow #6, Fury of Firestorm #7, Wonder Woman #38 and Avengers Armageddon #5.
Read the rest of this entryI Like The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power
I don’t know what everybody’s problem is. I really enjoy The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power on Amazon. And I’m excited for the upcoming third season! Things sure do look dire.
The action is big, the characters are fun, the lore works for me; I’ve had a blast with this show. I’m no Tolkien nerd. I haven’t read that one book this show is based on, with a name too difficult to spell off the top of my head. Maybe that’s why I can stand and actually enjoy Rings of Power? I don’t know. Doesn’t matter. I’m just glad it’s back!
The Rings of Power returns to Amazon on Nov. 11.

Last Day to Order Cover Bard #1!
Today marks the final 24 hours of my current Kickstarter for Cover Bard #1! So everybody rush on over to the campaign page and order your copy because you’re fans of my blog. Are there fans of my blog? Man, I sure hope so.
So yeah, my writing partner, Kristi McDowell, and I have both released solo comics through our imprint, Very Big Comics. She wrote The Yearbook Club and I wrote the first issue of my original series, Cover Bard. You can click here to learn more about the comic.
I love and appreciate all the support my readers can give my comic projects. I’ve got more in the works after this, including Cover Bard #2. I’ve got that whole mini-series planned out. And I’m working on a new project in the Gamer Girl & Vixen universe! As well as Gamer Girl & Vixen Volume 3!
So many comics to come!
