Last Chance to Catch LobStar!
Today is the last day of the LobStar #1 Kickstarter campaign, so it’s your last chance to grab yourself a copy. They already hit their funding goal, so the comics will ship! Now they’re raising extra money to pay for the next chapter of the comic.
LobStar is the story of a New England lobsterman who gets lobster super-powers. It’s pretty neat! The comic is written by my pal Jamieson Alcorn, with artwork by Sierra Barnes, published by Very Big Comics. They’re part of my overall indie comic-creating crew, and it’s all about supporting one another. They’ll be helping me promote Cover Bard when it’s ready, and the next volume of Gamer Girl & Vixen.
So don’t miss out on LobStar!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 11/29/25
Happy American Thanksgiving! The big day was two days ago and I had a really nice meal with family, and that’s why I didn’t read and review many comics this week. Mostly just indulged in my love of the Absolute Comics.
Comic Book of the Week is Absolute Batman #14, which is pretty much the pinnacle of what modern comics should and could be.
Meanwhile, I finished all five seasons of You’re the Worst and had a great time! Very enjoyable show. And I splurged on the Black Friday sale for Astrobot on the Playstation 5. Fun platformer so far. Lots of neat Easter Eggs that I mostly understand, because I’ve always been a Playstation man (only missed the PS3). Next up, I’ll be watching the Stranger Things episodes, get into the second season of Hazbin Hotel and will go see Wake Up Dead Man this weekend!
There’s also still time to order your copy of LobStar #1! The Kickstarter will end in the week ahead, and my peeps are looking to raise as much money as they can to make more comics!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #14, Absolute Wonder Woman #14 and Infernal Hulk #1.

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!
