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!

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!

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.

A couple new cartoon trailers arrived yesterday, and I’m gonna share them, because it’s one of those kinds of Thursdays.
First up is a trailer for the second season of Batman: Caped Crusader, which should be glad it’s getting a second season at all. I liked the first season just fine, but it feels like such a niche show that nobody is talking about. It’s Batman in a noir setting, and it’s a good adaptation.
Show looks good to me! No sign of Robin, so that’s disappointing. But that Joker looks like fun. And the whole show looks fun. And that’s what trailers need to accomplish: make their show worth watching.
Batman: Caped Crusader returns to Amazon on July 31.
Next up is the trailer for the second season of the King of the Hill revival. I also enjoyed the first season of the revival and I welcome more episodes!
I was a fan of King of the Hill back at the beginning, then fell off halfway through. But it’s a good show, and the revival is a strong one. That first revival season was fun. I like the characters. I like the directions they’re going in. Should be a fine continuation.
King of the Hill returns to Hulu on July 20.
Lastly, we got a full trailer for the Rick and Morty spin-off President Curtis. Looks like more Rick and Morty madness.
I still like Rick and Morty. I’m waiting for the current season to wrap up before I binge it. Obviously the show has fallen from its highest heights. But it’s usually still fun. And this President Curtis trailer looks fun. Honestly, it looks like they just set Keith David up in a room by himself with a microphone and let him just shout random and funny things, then they built the show around that — which could still be fun!
President Curtis is coming to Adult Swim and HBO Max on July 26.
