Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/13/26
We’re here, we’re reading comics, it’s been an OK week of life. So OK that we’ve got a pretty OK pile of comics to have been read and now reviewed, like the brand new Absolute Catwoman and the brand new Avengers: Armageddon.
Comic Book of the Week goes to The Fury of Firestorm #3 for an exciting retelling of the character’s new origin story.
Meanwhile, still enjoying Crimson Desert and will be for a while. Don’t you worry about that. I went to the theater and finally saw The Mandalorian and Grogu and I enjoyed it. Just a fun Mando and Grogu adventure. And I finally stayed home and saw Mortal Kombat II. Wasn’t thrilled at first but it won me over in the end.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Catwoman #1, Avengers: Armageddon #1, Daredevil #3 and The Fury of Firestorm #3.

I’m not ashamed of the fact that I’m a Marvel Zombie. I love Marvel. I’ve loved pretty much every project they’ve put out since Endgame. I’m definitely looking forward to Avengers: Doomsday in December. And these trailers are proving to be a winning strategy.
That’s just fun. Seeing characters interact is going to be one of the great joys of Doomsday, and here we get a taste of it. And it’s a great taste! Bring on the fun character interactions! Bring on more of these teasers!
Avengers: Doomsday comes to theaters next December.

Here There Be X-Men
Alright, I’m fully on board with these Avengers: Doomsday teasers. They’re short and sweet and the new one is pretty cool. It’s the X-Men! The classic Fox X-Men!
Personally, I’m over the Fox X-Men. I’m ready for Marvel to reboot that franchise into their own MCU characters. But we’re here anyway, and I’m probably going to have fun with it, so who am I to stop them? There’s no denying that Ian McKellen is the best there is, so why not let him and his buddy Patrick Stewart have another go? And that Cyclops badassery is choice.
Avengers Doomsday is now less than a year away, next December.

Now We’ve Got a Thor-Based Teaser for Avengers: Doomsday
Alright, I see what’s happening here. We got a Captain America teaser trailer for Avengers: Doomsday last week. Now we’ve got one for Thor. Check it out. It’s brief and doesn’t spoil anything…other than Thor being in Avengers: Doomsday.
So both trailers end with XXXX will return in Avengers: Doomsday, playing on that familiar coda from a lot of Marvel movies that declared so-and-so character would return. So perhaps we’re going to get a whole series of these short teasers? Teasing a bunch of characters showing up? Now that I can get behind! I was very lukewarm about the Cap trailer last week, and this Thor one doesn’t build much hype for the movie. But a series of ‘Will Return’ trailers could be pretty fun!
Avengers: Doomsday comes to theaters a year from now on Dec. 18.

For Christmas This Year, an Underwhelming Avengers: Doomsday Teaser
I’m still a very big Marvel Studios and MCU guy. I’ve seen it all and loved 99% of it, even all this post-Endgame stuff that the internet loves to hate. So I’m very much looking forward to Avengers: Doomsday a year from now. But hooboy, this first teaser trailer is a stinker.
Don’t watch if you don’t want any spoilers.
Basically, all this teaser trailer does is reveal one specific character who will be appearing in the movie. And I don’t really care. We know the movie is gonna feature everybody — that’s half the point of the movie. But there could have been so much else to see in a proper first teaser. Not even a better glimpse of Doctor Doom? Nothing? Just that one guy?
What a bummer for this holiday season.
Anyway, this is my last post until next week because I’ll be off on an extended family Christmas weekend! Merry Christmas everybody, and Happy Holidays!
