Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 11/22/25
Here we are, another week, another batch of comics. And they’re mostly good! There’s no point in even hiding the fact that we get the second Batman/Deadpool crossover this week!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Batman/Deadpool #1 because it more than lives up to the excitement.
Meanwhile, I beat both Ghost of Yotei and Dispatch, both of which were super fun games. Glad to have played them both. Now I’m looking for something new to play and that will last me until next November. I’ve been binging through all five seasons of You’re the Worst for the past week. Great show. And I’m considering when to go see the second Wicked movie…
Double meanwhile, the campaign is still ongoing for LobStar, the new comic made by my buddies at Very Big Comics. They’ve hit their goal, so if you jump on now, you’re guaranteed to get a comic! They’re raising bonus money now to try to fund some additional chapters of the story to go out to everybody. Check out their Kickstarter!
Comic Reviews: Batman/Deadpool #1, Captain America #5, Power Rangers Prime #12 and Wonder Woman #27.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 11/8/25
I don’t know what’s been up with me lately! This is the least I’ve posted in years! There just aren’t any good trailers to share I guess. Oh well. There will always be new comics to read and review! Like Batman and Void Rivals!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Cheetah & Cheshire Rob the Justice League #4 because it remains a consistently great comic!
Meanwhile, I continue to pace my way through Ghost of Yotei. Super fun game. Getting everything I want out of it. Grand Theft Auto 6 has been delayed for an entire year, so that sucks. And I’ve started playing Dispatch, which is super fun! All around good time! By the time you read this, I’ll also have been to the theater to watch Predator: Badlands. Hopefully that’s good too!
Double meanwhile, the Kickstarter is still ongoing for LobStar #1 from Very Big Comics! It’s made by my amateur comic-making pals and could definitely use some love! They’ve already hit the goal and will definitely be making the comic, and now any additional backers will help fund more of the ongoing story! So check it out, if you don’t mind.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Superman #13, Batman #3, Cheetah & Cheshire Rob the Justice League #4, Void Rivals #24, Amazing Spider-Man #15 and DC K.O. Knightfight #1.

Today is the launch day for the LobStar Kickstarter project and it’s your chance to get on board right away! As longtime readers of my blog might now, I’m a wannabe comic book writer myself. Gamer Girl & Vixen is coming along nicely, and I’ll have the first issue of my solo series — Cover Bard — ready to go sometime next year probably. I’m making these comics with some pals of mine through the Very Big Comics publishing imprint.
And now my pals are producing the first issue of LobStar, a story about a New England superhero fighting local corruption. LobStar #1 launches today on Kickstarter!
The comic is written by Jamieson Alcorn, with artwork by Sierra Barnes.
Matthew Murphy is a simple Downeast Maine lobsterman who commits a selfless act only to find himself chosen as the champion of the Lord of Lobsters. But his new powers were granted for a specific reason, and Matt has no choice but to accept a quest to leave his old life behind and learn about his new mission.
While he’s away, Matt’s hometown becomes the center of a lot of unwanted attention after news of his supernatural encounter gets out, and his rival Dave O’Connor is in the perfect position to capitalize on his absence.
You can also read a preview of the comic at GlobalComix.
So yeah, if you’re a fan of indie comics and want to support me and my pals in making comics, go back the LobStar Kickstarter today!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 11/1/25
Happy All Saint’s Day, everybody! Isn’t that the one that comes after Halloween? I don’t know for sure and I don’t have the energy to look it up at this moment. Just know it’s nice. Not a lot of reviews this week, though for anyone interested, I have finally caught up on Power Rangers Prime.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Batman Annual #1 because Batman beats up some white power shitheads.
Meanwhile, I’m still working my way through Ghost of Yotei and enjoying myself. Very fun game. I just finished watching the Jason Momoa show Chief of War, which was cool. Nothing really special, but a solid watch.
Also meanwhile, my comic friends at Very Big Comics have a new Kickstarter coming out in the week ahead: LobStar #1. It’s about a Maine fisherman who gets the powers of the lobster god! It’s a very New England story. Head on over to the Kickstarter preview and sign up, if you could please. The more people they have signed up ahead of launch the better it looks for the Kickstarter algorithm!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman Annual #1 and Power Rangers Prime #11.

Another week and another very small pile of reviewed comics. I might be coming apart at the seams! I read a few comics this week, but we’re largely getting into big crossovers at Marvel and DC at the moment, and I’m just not big into a lot of them.
Comic Book of the Week is Absolute Wonder Woman #13 for another excellent issue and the set-up for another fun little breather story.
Meanwhile, I’m working my way through Mortal Kombat 1 and Ghost of Yotei these days, both fun games. And I’ll be finishing up the new season of Gen V this weekend, also fun. I just enjoy surrounding myself with good, fun things these days. It’s for the best. And the writing for Gamer Girl & Vixen Vol. 3 is progressing very nicely.
Comic Review: Absolute Wonder Woman #13.
