Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 1/6/24
Happy New Year, everybody! It’s 2024 and all is still pretty crappy with the world. It’s hopefully going to be a good year for me in terms of making comics. I’ve got some fun announcements coming up in that regard! But for now, let’s deal with normal comics, like Batman, Fantastic Four and the start of the Fall of the House of X.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Birds of Prey #5 for another fun story chapter, even if the change in art is very, very jarring.
Meanwhile, I’m still meandering my way through Project Zomboid, which taps into my love of pedantry in video games. I just finished off the new season of Rick and Morty, and that was a hoot! And this weekend I’m binging Carol and the End of the World on Netflix. I’ve got high hopes for this show.
Comic Reviews: Batman #141, Birds of Prey #5, Captain America #5, Fall of the House of X #1 and Fantastic Four #15.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 12/9/23
Only a few more weeks until Christmas! That doesn’t particularly mean much in the grand scheme of things, but it definitely works to open up this comic review article. We’ve also got new issues of the likes of Batman and Transformers to enjoy.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Birds of Prey #4 for an action and character-focused issue that really kicks things up a notch.
Meanwhile, I’m almost done with Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, but mostly that game was all about building my own lightsaber. I think I should share my endgame creation! I’m also finally working my way through the fourth season of Harley Quinn. It’s not as strong a show as it was at the beginning, but it’s still enjoyable.
Comic Reviews: Batman #140, Birds of Prey #4, Fantastic Four #14, Thunderbolts #1, Transformers #3 and X-Men #29.

Last week we had Marvel Trailer Thursday, and now we’ve got DC Trailer Tuesday. DC is not about to be undone. They’ve got their own movie and cartoon coming up. Fancy that.
First up is a new trailer for Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom.
I’m definitely looking forward to this one. I very much enjoyed the first Aquaman movie. It was a big, wild and crazy mess of a movie. And this sequel looks just as big and crazy. That should be fun, right? Will this movie defeat the superhero fatigue that killed The Marvels? I guess we’ll find out!
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom comes to theaters on Dec. 22.
Next up is a delightful new standalone cartoon movie, Merry Little Batman!
We’ve been hearing about this for months now, and this trailer is our first actual look at what the end product is going to be. I think it looks delightful! Funny, silly, with great voice acting; Merry Little Batman might be the sleeper hit of the season!
Merry Little Batman comes to Amazon Prime on Dec. 8.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 11/11/23
I’m in a very easy going mood this week when it comes to comics. Had a lot of really enjoyable readsthis week. Nothing really blew my mind, but they were fun reads nonetheless, like new issues of Batman and G.O.D.S.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Transformers #2 because it was a solid issue, though I think all of the comics I read this week were equally good reads. It was a bit of a coin flip this week.
Meanwhile, I beat Spider-Man 2 and very much enjoyed the game. The only real detraction I have is that it felt short and light. I probably could have beat it much faster than I did. I think these games should come out more frequently, just by reusing the map and character elements already created. Beyond that, I saw The Marvels opening night and very much enjoyed the film. To hell with the haters! Come back on Wednesday for my thoughts and full review on The Marvels.
Comic Reviews: Batman #139, Birds of Prey #3, G.O.D.S. #2 and Transformers #2.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 11/4/23
We’re less than a week away from The Marvels and excitement is in the dumpster! What has become of the MCU? I know I’m still going to see the film opening night and hopefully enjoy myself. Until then, how about some comics? Like Avengers and Batman!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Scarlet Witch #10 for a fun, if slightly anticlimactic finale to probably my favorite comic of the year.
Meanwhile, I’m planning to finish off the Spider-Man 2 game this weekend. It’s been a blast, though perhaps not as powerful a blast as the first two games. Still fun, and I hope we get plenty more in this series. Honestly, they should just keep the graphics/gameplay the same and just keep putting out DLC chapters every few years. I’d be happy with just that.
Comic Reviews: Avengers #7, Batman/Catwoman: The Gotham War: Scorched Earth #1, and Scarlet Witch #10.
