Hench-Sized Comic Reviews – 4/12/25
I don’t know about you, but weeks have started to feel very long these days. Thankfully, this week still managed to come to an end, so we’ve got that going for us. Solid week for comics, though I didn’t read too many. At least we’ve got new Absolute Batman, eh?
Comic Book of the Week goes to Amazing Spider-Man #1 for a solid, enjoyable relaunch of the main Spider-Man series, which I am again willing to check out.
Meanwhile, I’ve got a short comic story in a new anthology that’s on Kickstarter right now! Museum of the Uncanny is a collection of short stories about weird and quirky artifacts, and my story is called “The Normal Quesadilla Maker That Definitely Can’t Talk.” So if you enjoy reading my comic reviews, I invite you to check out the Kickstarter and perhaps support my comic writing as well! You can also order physical copies of both Gamer Girl & Vixen books as add-ons in this campaign.
Also, I watched the fifth season of the Harley Quinn cartoon and am super pleased to say that it is back on form! Really entertaining season that felt like the early seasons again.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #7 and Amazing Spider-Man #1.

For my money, I think AppleTV+ has the best shows when it comes to streaming. I watch all sorts of TV shows across all streaming services, and AppleTV+ is pretty much nothing but bangers. I haven’t loved all of their shows equally, but they have more hits than misses. And next up is Murderbot, which looks really fun.
I’m a little disappointed when he takes off his helmet to look human…but the narration and comedy and sci-fi elements look like they’re really fun! So Murderbot is definitely on my list of upcoming shows to watch!
Murderbot comes to AppleTV+ on May 16.

Step Into the Museum of the Uncanny!
The Kickstarter has launched for the Museum of the Uncanny comic book anthology! I have a short story in this anthology! So how cool would you be if you went to Kickstarter and pre-ordered the comic?! Very cool indeed. There are 8 short stories — with possibly more added via stretch goals — for the low low price of only $29 buckaroos. The stories are about unique and weird artifacts that someday find their way into the museum.
Museum of the Uncanny is produced by my friends at Very Big Comics. It’s me and my friends making our own comics, which has long been my dream and the driving force behind this very blog in the first place.
I’m doing it! I’m making comics!
My short story is called “The Normal Quesadilla That Definitely Can’t Talk,” and it’s about a quesadilla maker that probably can’t talk.
The art is by Wren Rios, with lettering by Marina Leon. Fun team to work with! And I’m really proud of this story.
So yeah, if you’re in the mood to buy some new, indie comics and support some up and coming creators — like yours truly — head on over to Kickstarter and pre-order your copy today of Museum of the Uncanny!

There’ll Be a New Wes Anderson Movie This Year!
Wes Anderson is probably my favorite Hollywood director. I don’t care much or think much about directors, but Wes Anderson is special, and we all know why. He makes Wes Anderson movies, and I love them all so much. And if, like me, you love these weird and wacky movies, then the trailer for The Phoenician Scheme is pure Wes Anderson.
Every new trailer for every new Wes Anderson movie is always the most Wes Anderson thing ever produced. He just keeps reaching new peaks of his own unique style. It’s weird and wild! There are enough plot points to make out some semblance of a story, but otherwise, this is just a madcap romp of famous actors doing Wes Anderson-y things. And I’m fully on board for that. Can’t wait!
The Phoenician Scheme comes to theaters on May 30, so less than two months away!

Hench-Sized Comic Reviews – 4/5/25
Oh boy, what a week. This year has really been kicking me down, and I’m not even just talking about the wide world of crumbling society. It’s just been…that kind of week. Anyway, new comics keep coming out, and they main fun enough, like the start of Absolute Green Lantern.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Superman #6 for the absolute best issue so far in this already stellar series! It just keeps getting better!
Meanwhile, I’m still very much enjoying Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, as I always knew I would. Just taking my time living in this game. I watched the first season of Paradise on Hulu and found it merely OK, other than a few standout moments or episodes. And I’m currently really enjoying the first season of The Residence on Netflix, which is a murder mystery set at the White House. Highly recommended.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Green Lantern #1, Absolute Superman #6 and X-Men #14.
