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.

The next, and possibly last, Marvel Studios TV show on Disney+ is VisionQuest! It’s the final part of a trilogy that started with WandaVision, continued with Agatha All Along, and now involves the Vision dealing with family troubles. There’s a new trailer and it looks great!
Love that slow cover of House of the Rising Sun. I know those types of covers are used a lot, but I still love’em. So sue me. Anyway, this looks really neat! Paul Bettany and James Spader butting heads looks like super fun. The story of Vision finding his humanity is always a hoot. And it builds on the manufactured family from the first two shows with Tommy Shepherd. All looks good to me!
VisionQuest comes to Disney+ on Oct. 14.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 9/19/26
I was off from work this week and I spent the whole time on a nice staycation at home. Got some cleaning done. Read some comics. Played a lot of video games. And mostly just didn’t work. So it’s a good week for Wonder Woman and Absolute Green Arrow.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Daredevil #7 for a really fun, really energetic issue.
Meanwhile, I took this week off from work to play the new Wolverine video game and I’m very much enjoying it! Haters gonna hate and chase those hate algorithms, but this is a very enjoyable, straight forward Wolverine brawler game. So I’m quite pleased. I’m also working on a second playthrough of Star Wars: Zero Company, which remains fun. And I’m currently working my way through the fourth season of Reacher, which is also enjoyable. So good times for me!
Also, it’s time once again for me to put my money where my mouth is. I review comics week in and week out, and I’m once again making one of my own. Check out my profile on Cover Bard, my new first issue, which will be coming to Kickstarter on Monday! If you enjoy my reviews and want to see me put up or shut up on writing comics, this is a good opportunity and I would appreciate your support!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Green Arrow #5, Avengers Armageddon #4, Daredevil #7, Wonder Woman #37 and Uncanny X-Men #35.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/22/26
This was one of those weird weeks where all the comics I read were a bunch of enjoyable, entertaining reads, but then none of them really stood out as particularly interesting or worth writing about. But I did it anyway! For comics like Absolute Green Arrow and Daredevil, even! But if my reviews seem a bit drab, that’s why.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Avengers: Armageddon #3 for a solid, energetic twist at the end.
Meanwhile, I’m just killing time until I pick up Star Wars: Zero Company next week. That should be fun! I’m keeping an eye on all these Grand Theft Auto VI leaks but don’t really care about them. I looooved the first episode of Lanterns, and the only thing I don’t like is that I don’t have the entire season available to binge watch right away! Gonna have to be patient on that one. Next weekend is also Coyote vs. Acme, so that’s good too!

Read the rest of this entryMy Thoughts on the D23 Trailers for Marvel and Star Wars
D23 was this past weekend, which is the Disney-specific convention where Disney shows off all their good stuff. We got official announcements of X-Men castings, all of which I approve. We got some theme park news. Some Incredibles 3 and Frozen 3 news. Various things. The biggest, best stuff was three new trailers for upcoming Star Wars and Marvel properties, which I’m here to share and discuss!
If you haven’t seen these yet, and come to my blog for cool trailers, then universe bless you, my friend.
First up, let’s go big with Avengers: Doomsday.
Looks good to me! Personally, I think RDJ sounds a little too subdued as Doctor Doom, but the lines are cool as heck. This trailer does a great job of building up Doom as imposing. I can get behind that. Love Pedro Pascal’s anger. I’m very much looking forward to Doomsday and can’t wait for it to arrive!
Avengers: Doomsday comes to theaters on Dec. 18.
Next up, sticking with Marvel, it’s our first look at VisionQuest.
Personally, it’s too cerebral for my tastes. But that’s just an initial reaction to the trailer. I have no doubt that Paul Bettany and James Spader will kill it! WandaVision was great, Agatha All Along was great, so I’ve no doubt that VisionQuest will also be pretty darn great. I believe in greatness. I trust in this creative team.
VisionQuest will come to Disney+ starting on Oct. 14.
Last but not least is our first look at the second season of Ahsoka!
Personally, I was underwhelmed with the first season of Ahsoka. I like the character. I like Rosario Dawson’s portrayal. But I didn’t like where the season ended up. So I’m a bit hesitant. But I think that trailer looks amazing! A TV show is going to have that level of space battle?! Hells yes! I’m also a big fan of Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati, so I hope their storyline really goes somewhere fun this season, even with the actor change. So this trailer did it’s job and got me excited for season two. I’m gonna keep my hopes up.
Ahsoka returns to Disney+ on Jan. 20, so it’s a ways off.
