Last Day to Pre-Order Gamer Girl & Vixen!
The last day of my Kickstarter has arrived, and we have knocked it out of the park! Gamer Girl & Vixen hit both its main goal and its stretch goal with time to spare! So I will be publishing THREE issues of Gamer Girl & Vixen this year thank to all of the lovely people who backed my project. I can’t thank you Henchies enough for putting up your own money to help me out! You people are spectacular!
If you’d still like to pre-order Gamer Girl & Vixen, now is the last chance!
I plan to keep this blog rolling with GG&V news as we work on the comic through the summer. We’ve got a lot of big plans for our little comic, so stay tuned!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/13/15
The final weekend to pre-order Gamer Girl & Vixen is in full swing, and we’ve almost hit our first stretch goal! If you’d like to get your own copy of my comic, now’s the time!
But besides that, we’ve got other comics to talk about this week too! DC continues to try and re-invent their image, and so far they’ve been pretty successful! I loved the new Batman introduced this week, and the new Starfire comic is off to a good start. Over at Marvel, Secret Wars continues to dominate, but I’ve squeaked out reviews for Silver Surfer and Silk.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Batman #41 for a fantastic introduction to the new, armored Batman. Bring on the robot!
It’s my blog, and I say YES!
Now I can’t wait to read We Are Robin!
Over at Word of the Nerd, I continue my Secret Wars coverage with a review of Ghost Racers #1. It’s a nifty little comic, though nothing to write home about.
Comic Reviews: Batman #41, Harley Quinn #17, Silk #5, Silver Surfer #12 and Starfire #1.
6 Reasons Why You Should Back Gamer Girl & Vixen
Gamer Girl & Vixen is going to print! My Kickstarter hit its goal late last week, and we’re going to publish the first two issues of my own comic book series! I couldn’t be more thrilled and excited to finally start living my dream of writing comics. And Gamer Girl & Vixen is only the beginning. I’ve got a lot of big ideas!
But today, we’re right in the middle of the final week of our campaign, and I want to convince you Henchies why it’s a good idea to pre-order your copies of Gamer Girl & Vixen!
This Gamer Girl & Vixen, right here!
The comic is getting great reviews, we’re going to print a ton of extra issues, and our prices are so low you’d think we were going out of business! I’m not looking to get rich or rob anybody blind. I just want to write comics, and I would be beyond thrilled if my blog readers got to read my comic!
So join me after the jump for six reasons why you should pre-order Gamer Girl & Vixen! And my eternal thanks to those of you who already have!
Brian Michael Bendis to Turn Iron Man Into a Star!
Iron Man is going to be in comic books! The biggest movie star of the past decade is going to have his very own, mainlining comic book, written by one of the best writers in the industry. But then I’m being a little facetious. One of the first major comics of the All-New, All-Different Marvel relaunch in September will be Invincible Iron Man by Brian Michael Bendis and artist David Marquez, the team from Ultimate Spider-Man!
Maybe Robert Downey Jr. will make a cameo
Bendis and Marquez were great together on the adventures of Miles Morales, so you better believe I’ll be picking up this new series. Based on the interview in USA Today, Marvel wants to make Iron Man the star of their comic book universe in the same way that he’s the star of the movieverse. That makes total sense to me. They tried that off-kilter Superior Iron Man for a bit, and I don’t know if it worked or not, but it was definitely off the beaten path. Now we’re going back to a more traditional, streamlined and hopefully awesome Iron Man.
I still fondly remember Matt Fraction’s Invincible Iron Man, which was also made to coincide with the movies. That was the first ongoing Iron Man comic I ever bought, and I bought and read the whole thing, it was that good! So I have high hopes for this new series.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/6/15
Good news, everyone! The Gamer Girl & Vixen Kickstarter hit it’s goal yesterday! I’m going to get to make my comic! Woohoo! And you’re all still welcome to head on over and pre-order your copies of Gamer Girl & Vixen! Big thanks, of course, to you Henchies you already have. You peeps are the best!
Meanwhile, I’ve got a mega stack of other comics to review this week! After last week’s super dinky pile of comics, and considering DC is finally done with Convergence, I decided to just go nuts today and review a heck ton of comics! I’m really surprised with myself…and may have overdone it a little bit. We’ve got Action Comics, Bizarro, and Green Lantern, as well as a whole bunch of Marvel comics to boot! If you like reading Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews, then today you get your fill!
Comic Book of the Week goes to that wonderful, that delightful, Unbeatable Squirrel Girl! There’s just nothing funnier!
There’s a man that probably hates his job
Over at Word of the Nerd, you can check out my review of Secret Wars #3. That series is humming along nicely. I’m reading a few of the tie-ins, but none of them are in this review stack, unfortunately. There were just too many worthy regular comics to read.
Comic Reviews: Action Comics #41, All-New X-Men #41, Bizarro #1, Darth Vader #6, Green Lantern #41, Princess Leia #4, Spider-Woman #8, Star Wars #6 and Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #6.
