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.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 9/26/26
My car is freaking out in all sorts of weird ways and I’m not sure what the heck is going on. All I did was change the battery in my key fob. I don’t need this stress! Thankfully, we’ve got new Absolute comics this week to enjoy!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Batman #24 because I liked its energy just a bit more than Absolute Wonder Woman. But how can we complain when we get both in a single week?
Meanwhile, if you enjoy reading my comic book reviews, may I request you take a peek at my own comic book Kickstarter? I review comics every week, and sometimes I put my money where my mouth is and make my own comics! Cover Bard #1 has passed the 50% mark on Kickstarter so we’re looking pretty good if you’d like to snag your own copy to see if I have what it takes to actually write instead of just review comics. Much appreciated!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #24, Absolute Wonder Woman #24 and Miles Morales: Spider-Man #2.

I hope these reviews are doing some good for somebody somewhere. I often realize that I only really read the comics I like, which are a fraction of the total comics that come out in a single week. But hey, I like what I like! For example, Fury of Firestorm! And maybe the new Miles Morales: Spider-Man relaunch!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Batman #23 for another banger issue that is jam-packed with good stuff!
Meanwhile, Dying Light 2 was free on Playstation this month, so I’m gonna play that until Star Wars: Zero Company comes out at the end of the month. Should keep me busy. I watched and loved the finale of season two of X-Men ’97, and will post my full thoughts on the whole season next week. Stay tuned for that. I also watched and enjoyed the second season of Batman: Caped Crusader. May or may not post my thoughts. And I can’t wait for Lanterns tomorrow! Should be fun!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #23, Fury of Firestorm #5 and Miles Morales: Spider-Man #1.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/8/26
What a fun week for comics and comic book fans. We’re all still basking in the glory of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, of X-Men casting news, and all sorts of other good things. Yet didn’t review the new Spider-Man comic…that’s on me. Anyway, I did review some good stuff like Absolute Superman and Batman.
Comic Book of the Week goes to The Deadman #3 for a truly marvelous artistic experience.
Meanwhile, I’ve finally, at long last, wrapped up my time in Crimson Desert. I squeezed at least 3 to 4 months out of that game. Had a great time. Loved the whole thing. It would probably be my game of the year…except we’ve still got Wolverine and Grand Theft Auto 6 coming out. Beyond that, I’ve started the second season of Batman: Caped Crusader, and that’s going fine. And if you haven’t seen my review, I absolutely loved Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
I’ve also spent the past week arguing on Reddit that a certain character at the end of the film did NOT get their memories back. I feel like I’ve been taking crazy pills at how many people online seem to think that’s what happened. It’s insane! Come at me in the comments!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Superman #22, Batman #12, The Deadman #3, Iron Man #8 and Uncanny X-Men #33.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 7/11/26
Can you believe another week of comics has come and gone? I missed last week because I was away for the holiday. And I’m back this week with the likes of Absolute Batman and Fury of Firestorm.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Daredevil #4 for the most exciting shock ending.
Meanwhile, did I mention that I watched and very much enjoyed Widow’s Bay? Great show! Lives up to all the hype and word of mouth it’s getting. I’m currently working my way through Maniac, a Netflix show from a few years ago. Not great, but alright. And I recently finished reading all Dunk and Egg novellas from the Game of Thrones universe. Those were fun. Should make for some entertaining future seasons of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #22, Absolute Catwoman #2, Daredevil #4 and Fury of the Firestorm #4.
