Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/26/24
What an interesting week for comics! We have a ton of first issues this week, whether brand new series or just the start of a big new run by a new creative team. Stuff like Tom Taylor on Detective Comics or a new Iron Man.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Wonder Woman #1 for another awesome alternate reality reboot. I hope Superman is just as good when it comes out!
Meanwhile, I saw Venom: The Last Dance this week and hated it! What a garbage movie! I was able to find something to enjoy in the first two, so I haven’t been a total Venom movie hater. But man, this third one was a real stinker on every conceivable level. I’ll post my full thoughts/review sometime next week. Other than that, Star Trek: Lower Decks is back on the air, so awesome. And I’ve started playing Baldur’s Gate 3 again. Good times.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Wonder Woman #1, Dazzler #2, Detective Comics #1090, Iron Man #1 and Superman #19.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/12/24
This is a big week for comics! It’s the launch of DC’s new Absolute Universe line of books! Do they live up to the hype? You’ll have to read on and see!
Comic Book of the Week is Absolute Batman #1, because yeah, it totally lives up to the hype, for the most part.
Meanwhile, a bunch of good comics came out this week, but a lot of them were mid storyline or I haven’t been reviewing them regularly, so I didn’t add them to this already sparse list. Ah well. Beyond that, I’m still very much enjoying The Penguin and Agatha All Along, and have finally started watching the second season of The Rings of Power. So I’d say I’m in a good place. May finally try to beat Star Wars: Outlaws this weekend.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #1 and Exceptional X-Men #2.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/5/24
Last time I only reviewed X-Men comics, so this time i’m only reviewing DC Comics. It’s a big month for DC, as they kick off their new All In initiative. And I’m getting on the ground floor with the new one-shot special!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Batman #153 for a truly excellent start to the new storyline, starting with a pretty nice clean slate.
Meanwhile, I’m loving The Penguin, enjoying Agatha All Along and have stalled a bit playing Star Wars Outlaws. I’m at just about the end game, but got distracted with some other games on the side that do stealth much better. Heh. Perhaps I’ll finish the game off for good this weekend, but then I won’t have another game to play until next year! I’ll need to find something on sale somewhere…
Comic Reviews: Batman #153, DC All In Special #1 and Plastic Man No More: Book Two.

Out of nowhere yesterday, James Gunn, the current grand poobah of DC Studios, announced that they’re going to make a film about Dick Grayson and Jason Todd as Robins. Longtime readers of this blog know that I really like Robin — perhaps too much — and I’m super excited to be getting some type of serious Robin project. It’s gonna be called Dynamic Duo.
All we know about the movie so far is that it’s going to be the first feature film by Swaybox, a company that does a combination of puppetry and CGI for their animation. You can check out their website to see what their style is like. Personally, I think it’s perfect for this type of project.
I’ve always felt that Robin’s story is much better than people give it credit for. Can’t say as how I think it would be a good idea to do Dick and Jason in the same movie for some reason…instead of just Dick and Batman. But I’m going to have to trust James Gunn and Matt Reeves on this one. And I totally do!
Now we just need Robin to show up in the Reevesverse…

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/24/24
Another week, another stack of interesting comics. Nothing too mind blowing came out this week, but I felt like reviewing some on my pile for funsies, like Nightwing and Ultimate Spider-Man.
Comic Book of the Week goes to the stand alone Power Rangers Infinity #1 because it’s just a fun, silly comic that I enjoyed.
Meanwhile, only a week until I’m on vacation and playing Star Wars: Outlaws! Can’t wait! I hope it’s good! Shame to hear we won’t be getting a second season of The Acolyte, but at least now I can watch the second season of The Rings of Power!
Comic Reviews: Nightwing #117, Power Rangers Infinity #1 and Ultimate Spider-Man #8.
