Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 3/29/25

I’ve been noticing something weird lately…I don’t really care for Marvel Comics at the moment. All the best comics are coming out of DC. Wild. Anyway, here’s a review list that’s mostly DC Comics!

Comic Book of the Week goes to Wonder Woman #19 for an excellent end to the first story arc, and all the teases for the next story arc. I’m quite satisfied.

She is pretty great

Meanwhile, I’m still working my way through Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. The game is everything I hoped it would be and I’m having a blast! Gonna spend a lot of time in this world. I’m currently working my way through the newest season of Invincible. Fun stuff, as expected.

Comic Reviews: Absolute Martian Manhunter #1, Absolute Wonder Woman #6, Batman #158, Power Rangers Prime #5 and Wonder Woman #19.

I Have a Short Comic Coming Up in Museum of the Uncanny!

In my ongoing efforts to become a professional comic book writer, I’ve got another short story coming up! My short story will be part of the upcoming Museum of the Uncanny anthology from Very Big Comics, which is coming to Kickstarter early next month. Right now, we’re collecting advance sign-ups to be notified when the Kickstarter goes live. You don’t have to commit to buying the book at this point, it’s just sign ups for people interested.

So head on over to Kickstarter and click the button to be notified! The more people we get signed up, the better Kickstarter will treat us once the campaign gets going.

My story will be called The Normal Quesadilla Maker That Definitely Can’t Talk. I wrote the script, with artwork by Wren Rios and lettering by Marin.

The title is pretty self explanatory, I think. But here’s the quick blurb I wrote for the piece:

“We assure you the quesadilla maker can’t talk. The manufacturer assures you the quesadilla maker can’t talk. The quesadilla maker itself will assure you it can’t talk.”

The whole anthology is going to be filled with similar stories of weird, funny and spooky objects all collected in the titular museum. I think it’s a neat idea for a comic anthology and I’m so excited that I got picked!

And I hope I can count on you fine readers to sign up for the campaign, and perhaps even order the anthology once the campaign goes live next month! Slowly but surely, I’m gonna keep getting comic stories published. I’m gonna be a contender!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 3/22/25

Welcome back to the world of comic reviews! I’ve been on vacation this week, and one would think that would give me more time to read comics and review them, but nah. I’m as lazy as ever. But we’ve got a good batch this week with the likes of Absolute Flash and G.I. Joe.

Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Batman #6 for a very bombastic finale to the first story arc.

We never got an explanation for the people with tentacle heads

Meanwhile, I spent the majority of this week finally diving into Kingdom Come: Deliverance II and it’s everything I hoped it would be! I still haven’t mastered combat in the way you’re supposed to, but I do well enough. There needs to be an unlimited training mode/testing ground to practice. I saw The Day the Earth Blew Up in the theaters, and that was a hoot. And then the Severance season 2 finale was the bomb, yo! It’s been a good week.

Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #6, Absolute Flash #1, Exceptional X-Men #7 and G.I. Joe #5.

Hench-Sized Comic Reviews – 3/15/25

I’m finally back with more robust comic reviews! Just been busy, is all. In fact, if you’re reading this, I’m once again out of town! Such is life, I suppose. At least we’ve got comics like Green Lantern Corps and Void Rivals to enjoy.

Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Superman #5 because I’m a sucker for these comics! Jason Aaron will also be guesting in Scott Snyder’s Comics Writing Class this week, so I’m very excited about that!

It’s never enough

Meanwhile, I beat Dragon Age: Veilguard and very much enjoyed the game! Solid 8/10 for me. Great character creator, solid and enjoyable gameplay, and very good characters/story/ending. All around solid RPG. I’ll finally be picking up Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 this week and can’t wait to dive into that!

Comic Reviews: Absolute Superman #5, Green Lantern Corps #2 and Void Rivals #17.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 3/1/25

If you’re reading this when it gets posted, I am on the road heading to pick up the physical copies of Gamer Girl & Vixen Vol. 2! My new comic! I can’t wait to see how it turned out.

Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Wonder Woman #5 for some truly awesome storytelling and creative moments.

No, that’s another guy

Meanwhile, I was busy buying a new car last weekend, so I missed a lot of comics that came out last week. My bad. And while I had the time to read more comics this week, most of what I read was just really good and enjoyable, and I didn’t have a lot of thoughts about them. Then the days just got away from me. So sorry for the lack of more reviews…

I’m still playing Dragon Age: Veilguard, though I hope to beat it in time to pick up Kingdom Come: Deliverance II ahead of my upcoming week vacation. And I finally watched Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man this past week and it was excellent! A very well-made Spider-Man cartoon, with a great use of a wider Marvel Universe and Spidey’s whole world. Loved it!

Comic Reviews: Absolute Wonder Woman #5.
