Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 9/26/15
Short and sweet week for comics for me! Marvel is still mired in Secret Wars delays, so I didn’t grab anything from them this week. And none of my regular indie titles came out. Granted, this would make for a great week to pick up a new indie title…but I have more Witcher 3 to play! I can’t remember the last time I was this absorbed in a new video game. It feels great — while being simultaneously bad for business!
Fortunately, DC Comics put out three of my favorite comics: Batgirl, Grayson and We Are Robin. All three were fun to read, but Grayson edges out as the Comic Book of the Week for a milestone-ish issue.
Acting!
I love me some Bat-Family times.
In other comic news, I read the latest volume of Empowered this week, and it’s as much fun as the rest of the series. Anybody else read Empowered? I keep wanting to find some way to spotlight that indie series. It’s a real gem.
Comic Reviews: Batgirl #44, Grayson #12 and We Are Robin #4.
It’s The All Singing, All Dancing Batman!
First he sang the metal, and it was great. And now Batman sings Taylor Swift in this excellent song parody by the How It Should Have Ended peeps!
Good times all around!
And if you really want your fix of Batman v. Superman cartoons, check out this mini-battle by Stephen Byrne. It’s short but it’s sweet…unless you love Batman.
Me personally, I’m definitely in the camp that Batman can beat Superman, given the right circumstances. Batman has no limits!

Batmetal Returns!
Get your head-banging ready, because Batmetal Returns! Beware some pretty strong content.
Batman and the Robins singing a death metal song from Dethklok? Hot damn! That’s high quality kickassery, I tells you what! Kudos to ArhyBES for whipping out another awesome video. And if you liked this one, feel free to go back and watch their previous Batmetal video from last year.

Nobody Particularly Likes the Joker’s New Look
Man, what’s up with Mondays? I gotta work every day this week, but then it’ll be a 4-day holiday weekend for me! And it’s my birthday on Sunday! So somehow, I just gotta get through this week. Somehow…Internet videos like this one from the How It Should Have Ended people always help. Let’s hope this week has some good Internet!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/29/15
I don’t know why this happens, but it always seems like my favorite comics all come out in the same week. It’s a nightmare for the wallet but a celebration for reading! This week, we’ve got new issues of Ant-Man, Spider-Woman, Lumberjanes, Grayson, We Are Robin, Harley Quinn and more! It’s great!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Batgirl #43 for another nearly perfect issue. Batgirl is everything I could possibly want from a superhero comic these days, and the creative team pulls it off so effortlessly.
Batgirl vs. a tiger!!
I hope DC keeps this team and this direction around for a long time to come.
Comic Reviews: Last Days of Ant-Man #1, Batgirl #43, Cyborg #2, Grayson #11, Harley Quinn #19, Justice League of America #3, Lumberjanes #17, Ninjak #6, Spider-Woman #10 and We Are Robin #3.
