Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 12/13/25

You guys. This week. Apparently when I got new landlords, they may or may not have cancelled the driveway snowplow contract? Found that out the hard way. Ugh. Anyway, coupla fun comics this week.

Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Batman #15 for a very excellent and proper introduction to the Absolute Joker.

It’s also partly a jungle adventure story

Meanwhile, I’m about halfway through an anime my brother recommended, Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End. I don’t watch much anime, but have seen some from time to time. Pretty good so far. And then I’m still playing through Astrobot, because I’m in no rush when it comes to video games. I’m also finally reading Sex Criminals by Fraction and Zdarsky after I got the omnibus for Christmas last year. It’s also pretty good so far.

Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #15 and Amazing Spider-Man #17.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 12/6/25

It’s been another hell of a week here in TV Land. I tripped and fell earlier and banged up my knees pretty bad. Nothing serious, but who needs this extra pain and suffering, am I right? Anyway, this week is more Batman.

Comic Book of the Week goes to Cheetah & Cheshire Rob the Justice League #5 because I love it when a plan comes together.

No Kings

Meanwhile, I grabbed Marvel’s Cosmic Invasion game and it’s a pretty solid beat’em up so far. Nothing spectacular, but fun like these usually are. And I watched and thoroughly enjoyed the first part of the final Stranger Things finale. The show has still got it and I can’t wait for the rest of the season!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 11/29/25

Happy American Thanksgiving! The big day was two days ago and I had a really nice meal with family, and that’s why I didn’t read and review many comics this week. Mostly just indulged in my love of the Absolute Comics.

Comic Book of the Week is Absolute Batman #14, which is pretty much the pinnacle of what modern comics should and could be.

Howdy

Meanwhile, I finished all five seasons of You’re the Worst and had a great time! Very enjoyable show. And I splurged on the Black Friday sale for Astrobot on the Playstation 5. Fun platformer so far. Lots of neat Easter Eggs that I mostly understand, because I’ve always been a Playstation man (only missed the PS3). Next up, I’ll be watching the Stranger Things episodes, get into the second season of Hazbin Hotel and will go see Wake Up Dead Man this weekend!

There’s also still time to order your copy of LobStar #1! The Kickstarter will end in the week ahead, and my peeps are looking to raise as much money as they can to make more comics!

Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #14, Absolute Wonder Woman #14 and Infernal Hulk #1.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 11/22/25

Here we are, another week, another batch of comics. And they’re mostly good! There’s no point in even hiding the fact that we get the second Batman/Deadpool crossover this week!

Comic Book of the Week goes to Batman/Deadpool #1 because it more than lives up to the excitement.

No point in not bringing it up

Meanwhile, I beat both Ghost of Yotei and Dispatch, both of which were super fun games. Glad to have played them both. Now I’m looking for something new to play and that will last me until next November. I’ve been binging through all five seasons of You’re the Worst for the past week. Great show. And I’m considering when to go see the second Wicked movie…

Double meanwhile, the campaign is still ongoing for LobStar, the new comic made by my buddies at Very Big Comics. They’ve hit their goal, so if you jump on now, you’re guaranteed to get a comic! They’re raising bonus money now to try to fund some additional chapters of the story to go out to everybody. Check out their Kickstarter!

Comic Reviews: Batman/Deadpool #1, Captain America #5, Power Rangers Prime #12 and Wonder Woman #27.

Bat-Fam is Gonna Be Weird as Hell

Bat-Fam is a new Batman cartoon coming to Amazon Prime today. It’s a spin-off of the Merry Little Batman cartoon from a few years ago, which I didn’t watch. It’s about Batman as a dad, with little Damian Wayne as Batboy. It is what it is! And now it gets a whole cartoon with a whole wacky Batman family of characters, like Crazy Uncle Manbat.

Looks crazy. Looks weird as hell. But it also looks perfect? Like, I’m glad Batman cartoons are willing to go in this direction. Get weird with it. Get crazy. Get funny. Whatever you wanna do, go ahead and do it with Bat-Fam. Maybe I will give this one a watch.

Bat-Fam should already be available on Amazon Prime!
