Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 4/23/16
Welcome to another thrilling installment of Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews! We’ve got a plate of wonderful comics today, including some of my current favorites, like Astonishing Ant-Man. Some of my review columns have been a little light over the past month, and if you’ve been wondering why, it’s because I’m nearing the end of a Kickstarter campaign for my own comic, Gamer Girl & Vixen!
This week is the final week of the campaign. We’re so close to hitting our goal that I can taste it! But the nerves have kind of dulled me to every other awesome thing in the world right now. So if you’d like to order a copy of my own comic, head on over and pick one up. Every little bit counts at this point!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Power Man and Iron Fist #3, which continues to be a wonderfully entertaining comic. Hopefully my own comic book work can be this good someday.
Not every problem can be solved with mystical kung fu
Comic Reviews: Astonishing Ant-Man #7, Captain Marvel #4, Power Man and Iron Fist #3, and Totally Awesome Hulk #5.
Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 4/16/16
Anybody else doing everything they can to avoid reading too many reviews for Captain America: Civil War? I can’t believe they’re out so early! They’re all so good that I just want to absorb as much as I can! But at the same time, I don’t want to spoil anything in the movie. It’s bad enough I’ve watched a few of the clips. Aargh! Why isn’t it May yet?
Until then, why not enough some comics? New issues of Amazing Spider-Man and Starfire grace our presence this week, as well as the launch of the Harley Quinn spin-off staring her Gang A’Harleys!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Silver Surfer #3. It’s been awhile since we saw an issue of this amazing series, but the wait was worth it!
Damn right you do!
And as always, don’t forget to check out my Kickstarter for the full Gamer Girl & Vixen graphic novel! We’re at the halfway point this weekend, so now’s the time to really gear up and hit the goal by the end!
Comic Reviews: Amazing Spider-Man #10, Harley Quinn and Her Gang of Harleys #1, Silver Surfer #3 and Starfire #11.
Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 4/9/16
Welcome to another installment of Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews! We’re right on the verge of a great comic book movie season, and we’re right in the middle of some great comic books overall. I am very pleased with the industry these days, and I love comics like Batgirl, Spider-Man and Invincible Iron Man.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers #2 for tapping into the sheer, silly nostalgia inside of me. Green Ranger is the best Ranger.
It’s like a dream come true
Speaking of good comics, don’t forget to check out my own series, Gamer Girl & Vixen! Order your copy and support us on Kickstarter!
Comic Reviews: Batgirl #50, Black Panther #1, Invincible Iron Man #8, Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers #2, and Spider-Man #3.
My 6 Favorite LGBTQ Couples in Comics
Even comic book superheroes can fall in love. Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson. Lois and Clark. All those women that Batman falls in love with, only to lose them in the end. Romance is as important to comics as superhero capes! It’s even the basis of my own comic, Gamer Girl & Vixen, a lesbian supervillain love story!
Read the first issue on my Kickstarter!
I like writing Gamer Girl & Vixen because I legitimately enjoy the push for diversity that we’re seeing across all entertainment, not just comics. I would love to see more LGBTQ romances in pop culture, and we’re slowly getting there. If I can help that along with my own writing, whether in my self-published comics or in this blog, then at least I’m having a good time.
So to celebrate the progress that exists, join me after the jump for my favorite LGBTQ couples in comics! And you’re welcome to share your own favorites in the comments!
The Gamer Girl & Vixen Kickstarter Is Live!
The time is finally here to pre-order your copy of the Gamer Girl & Vixen graphic novel! As many of you henchies know, I’ve been working on my own self-published comic book for a few years now. Gamer Girl & Vixen is the story of two LGBTQ super villains who fall in love on all the wrong rooftops. I co-wrote the comic with my writing partner, Kristi McDowell, with art by Gemma Moody and lettering by Taylor Esposito.
Click here to visit the Kickstarter and order your copy!
Lend your pal Henchie your support!
Seriously, if you’re making comics, hire a professional letterer. They make all the difference!
We will be running the campaign for the entire month of April. The book costs $25, and comes with a personalized ‘Thank You’ written on a collectible Gamer Girl & Vixen postcard. And if I know you’re one of my readers, I can send you a special Henchman-4-Hire prize!
So head on over to my Kickstarter page and see it for yourself! There’s a link to read the first issue for free, to see whether or not you’ll like the comic. And if you order the printed graphic novel and let me know that you’re a henchie, I’ll send you something special when we ship the comics later this year!
Thank you, everybody, for your support through all this!
