Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/7/23
This was a crazy week for comics! New, highly anticipated comics, like Transformers and G.O.D.S.! Big comics like the new Batman! So many comics that I had to skip some of those I enjoy just to fit them all in during my week!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Birds of Prey #2 for a really stylish issue that does a lot of really cool things with art and color.
Meanwhile, I enjoyed the final episode of Ahsoka, though the series overall was rather disappointing. Thankfully, the first episode of Loki season 2 was a hoot! So the shows just keep coming. And Cyberpunk 2077 is as fun as I remember, though it’s not all that different from the first time I played at launch. Still generally fun.
Comic Reviews: Batman #138, Birds of Prey #2, G.O.D.S. #1, Transformers #1 and X-Men #27.

It’s a week for new or relatively new comics! And that’s always fun. Astonishing Iceman attempts to win our hearts with a second issue, while DC tries to win me over with a Batman and Robin focused team book.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Avengers Inc. #1 for absolutely nailing the tone and premise its going for in its first issue.
Meanwhile, still playing Baldur’s Gate 3, because I’m a slave to that game. I’ll beat it one of these days! Other than that, I really enjoyed the latest issues of Ahsoka, so that’s a quality show. And Star Trek: Lower Decks has started up again, so I’m happy with that. Lots of good content to devour these days, and even more to come in the near future.
Comic Reviews: Astonishing Iceman #2, Avengers Inc. #1 and Batman and Robin #1.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 9/9/23
This is what happens when you turn 40 and go away for a few days: no posts! What also happens is the world throws a ton of comic books at you in a single week to review! After a few weeks of only two or so comics, this week we’ve got new Batman, new X-Men and a couple brand new DC titles.
Comic Book of the Week goes to the first issue of the new Birds of Prey for a really fun tale of getting the team together.
Meanwhile, I’m still 40, and nothing has changed. I bought myself some LEGO sets, saw the movie Bottoms, which is great, and my friends took me to an arcade bar where we played 4-player classic Ninja Turtles arcade, so that was a pretty perfect birthday. Other than that, I’ll spend the rest of my vacation playing more Baldur’s Gate 3!
Comic Reviews: Batman #137, Birds of Prey #1, Fire & Ice: Welcome to Smallville #1, Scarlet Witch #8 and Immortal X-Men #15.

Another week of not many comics, and that’s totally on me. Maybe I just need to read more comics? Hopefully I’ll get the chance, because I am on vacation! It’s also a good week for the new Ms. Marvel revival series.
Comic Book of the Week goes to the awkwardly named Batman/Catwoman: The Gotham War: Battle Lines #1 for an interesting kick off to yet another crossover and yet another war in Gotham City.
Meanwhile, Baldur’s Gate 3 continues to go well, though I still remain hesitant to sink any more playthroughs into my life on the off chance they improve the game down the line. I won’t be playing Starfield anytime soon because I don’t have an X-Box and I don’t think my PC can handle it. So that stinks. And in a few days it’s my 40th birthday, so that’s a thing!
Comic Reviews: Batman/Catwoman: The Gotham War: Battle Lines #1 and Ms. Marvel: The New Mutant #1.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/10/23
Oh man, what a week. It’s not been particularly busy or crazy. There was that whole orange sky over my home in Central New York. But other than that, it’s just been me sitting here reading comics like Batman and Fantastic Four.
Comic Book of the Week goes to X-Men: Before the Fall – Mutant First Strike #1 because of its awesome use of some really neat obscure mutants.
Meanwhile, I’m still playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and hope to be playing for a long time to come. Just heading out into Hyrule, exploring, doing this and that. It’s fun as heck! I watched the first season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, and it was fun. Nothing revolutionary, but fine and enjoyable. And the Ted Lasso series finale was as disappointing as the rest of season 3.
Comic Reviews: Batman #136, Fantastic Four #8, Shazam! #2 and X-Men: Before the Fall – Mutant First Strike #1.
