Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/8/24
We’re back with more comic book reviews! I do apologize that these will be more haphazard from me going forward. Sometimes there just aren’t any comics coming out that I really have an opinion on. And sometimes I can be pretty lazy. But this week saw some solid releases, like Batman and The Ultimates.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Scarlett #1 for a clean, enjoyable new chapter in the ongoing Energon Universe.
Meanwhile, I beat God of War: Ragnarok and it was an excellent game! Just as big and fun as the first. I’ve burned through a couple of TV shows. I enjoyed Mr. and Mrs. Smith, didn’t care for the first two episodes of The Acolyte and absolutely adored Hazbin Hotel. That show lives up to all its hype! This weekend is the third and final season of Sweet Tooth, so hopefully that’s fun.
This week also saw the final issue of the Krakoa Era for X-Men, but I checked out awhile ago, so it won’t be reviewed this week. Bring on From the Ashes!
Comic Reviews: Batman #148, The Boy Wonder #2, Scarlett #1 and The Ultimates #1.

I wasn’t a big fan of the first Joker movie. It was dark and misanthropic, which is what it was going for, and just wasn’t my cup of tea. Well we’re getting a sequel that introduces Harley Quinn, played by Lady Gaga, and now we’ve got our first trailer! And I actually like this trailer.
I’m a big fan of musicals, and turning Joker 2 into a musical should be a hoot. They definitely turned it into a good musical trailer. Will that mean the movie is good? I don’t know. I doubt these films will ever be my cup of tea. But I shall never yick somebody else’s yum. So huzzah this movie!
Joker: Folie a Deux comes to theaters on Oct. 4.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 4/6/24
It’s April already. Life moves forward unceasingly. We are merely caught up in its wake. But at least we can always count on new comics, like Batman and She-Hulk!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Birds of Prey #8 for another delightful team book issue.
Meanwhile, I’ve started playing Evil Genius 2 on the PC, a charming base-builder. It’s got a fun aesthetic, and I do love a good real time strategy-style game like this. Easy to get addicted to as I play along and balance all the things to balance. I’m having fun. And on Monday, I will be in the totality zone of this solar eclipse! So that should be fun!
Comic Reviews: Batman #146, Birds of Prey #8, Sensational She-Hulk #7 and Void Rivals #8.
Read the rest of this entryTV Trailer Tuesday
This is the most stubborn cold I think I’ve ever had! It just won’t leave my head! I just want my brain back! Thankfully, I can take things a bit easier on this Tuesday, and just share some TV trailers that came around in the past week! I love trailers and I love easy Tuesdays.
First up is a big trailer for the new season of Doctor Who, with the new Doctor.
Looks alright to me! I liked the guy well enough in that Christmas special we saw, so I’m definitely down for watching the new season. I still haven’t watched Jodie Whittaker’s final season and specials. But this is supposed to be a fresh start, and I’m down with that, so we’ll see how it goes!
The new season is coming to Disney+ starting on May 10.
Next up is a great trailer for The Penguin TV show!
That was a great trailer! Granted, it’s basically just a trailer for a crime drama, then breaks that immersion when it reveals the title to be “The Penguin” at the end. Heh. Not very much, or anything at all, in this trailer makes one think Batman vs. Penguin. So I guess we’ll see. I’m all for a new, gritty crime drama, which maybe Batman hiding in the wings? We’ll see!
The Penguin comes to Max in the fall.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 3/9/24
I don’t know what’s happened, but work has been really busy lately. Your favorite blogger is being run ragged! But I made it through another week and am taking this week to really relax. Thankfully, I got to enjoy some nice comics this week, like Batman and Void Rivals.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Birds of Prey #7 for a confident and fun kick off to their next story.
Meanwhile, it’s the final few days to pre-order Gamer Girl & Vixen vol. 2: Tyrant Lizard Queen! Pop on over to the Kickstarter and order your copy today! I’m making comics! Beyond that, I’m looking to finally finish off Super Mario Bros. Wonder this weekend, and will be trying the free Mortal Kombat 1 play demo as well.
Comic Reviews: Batman #145, Birds of Prey #7, Sensational She-Hulk #6, Ultimate X-Men #1 and Void Rivals #7.
