Looks Like We May Get that Renee Montoya Ongoing After All!
DC Comics apparently did something kind of huge with the end of Convergence — which, I admit, I haven’t been reading. This news comes via Newsarama, Bleeding Cool and a bunch of other comic sites that do much better research than I do.
A big ball of superheroes!
I’m going to put the SPOILER after the jump, just in case you don’t want to be spoiled and are reading my blog after the comic came out. I would be interested to know the crossover of people who read my blog and who are simultaneously waiting to read the final issue of Convergence.
Still, join me after the jump!
Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 5/23/15
Happy Memorial Day weekend, my fellow Americans! And happy weekend to readers from countries that don’t celebrate Memorial Day this weekend! Whatever the case may be, this is definitely the kick off to summer…at least in those countries that are experiencing summer right now! At the very least, we’re all getting new comics.
With DC Comics buried in Convergence, and Marvel Comics starting to dive into Secret Wars, my pull list is getting pretty small. Fortunately, it gives me more time to focus on publishers other than the Big Two! We’ve got new issues of Bloodshot Reborn and Ninjak from Valiant Comics, and Oni Press’ Kaijumax wins Comic Book of the Week for being delightfully weird.
Took a wrong turn at Tokyo
Being the Marvel fan that I am, I’m not ignoring Secret Wars as completely as I’m ignoring Convergence. So you can check out my review of A-Force #1 over at Word of the Nerd. It’s a solid comic, but it reeks of being just a gimmick. If that creative team was allowed to create a real A-Force in the real Marvel Universe, it would be a hell of a comic!
And if you haven’t yet, you can pre-order Gamer Girl & Vixen on our Kickstarter page! And if any of you readers are fellow reviewers and are willing to give Gamer Girl & Vixen a look see, let me know in the comments!
Comic Reviews: Bloodshot Reborn #2, Kaijumax #2, Ninjak #3, Star Wars #5 and Uncanny X-Men #34.
Help Me Kickstart Gamer Girl & Vixen!
The Gamer Girl & Vixen Kickstarter exploded out of the gate, my friends! I launched the campaign last Saturday and we’ve already blown past 50% funded. You Henchies have been reading along with the production of my comic for months now, so you can imagine how exciting these past few days have been. A couple of you have already pledged – and I’m eternally grateful – so now I’m here to convince everybody else to get on board!
We’re offering a lot of great rewards at low, low prices, and every pledge tier comes with a Gamer Girl & Vixen comic! If you’d like to pre-order my comic, now is the time!
Check out Gamer Girl & Vixen on Kickstarter!
Cover to issue #1
You Henchies have already seen a ton of behind-the-scenes stuff on GG&V so far, but now the rest of the world is getting to peek inside everything we’ve been working on and it’s a lot of fun. If you’re interested in learning a bit more, you can check out a couple great interviews at Comics Alliance, The Outhousers and Rhymes with Geek.
And there’s our first official review at Word of the Nerd!
People are really responding to Gamer Girl & Vixen and it’s more exciting than I could have possibly imagined! I invite all you Henchie readers to visit the Kickstarter and check it out for yourselves. Do it for your old pal/favorite blog writer Sean!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 5/16/15
If you haven’t seen the news yet, the Gamer Girl & Vixen Kickstarter has officially launched! This is my first self-published comic and my first Kickstarter, so you better believe I’m going to be on pins and needles for the next month! Click on over and check out the Kickstarter, my comic reviews will wait.
Back? Alright, on with the reviews! This was a pretty great week for me, seeing as how we got new issues of both Captain Marvel and Ms. Marvel, and both were really good. We also got new issues of Thor, Darth Vader and Silk, three more of my favorite comics. But only one can win Comic Book of the Week, and that would be Captain Marvel #15 as writer Kelly Sue DeConnick signs off ahead of Secret Wars. It’s a very touching, enjoyable issue.
Those faces!
Of course, it’s just my luck that Carol finally returns to Earth just in time to go on hiatus for Secret Wars. But I’m pretty sure the issue where she finally meets Kamala Khan is coming up! Somebody remind me to track that down.
Over at Word of the Nerd, you can read my continuing coverage of Secret Wars. It’s still pretty good so far. And much like Convergence at DC Comics, I really don’t think I’m going to be touching many of the tie-in comics. So honestly, I’m not sure what I’m going to even review for the next few months…so maybe indie comic bonanza!
Comic Reviews: Captain Marvel #15, Darth Vader #5, Ms. Marvel #15, Silk #4 and Thor #8.
Hey, speaking of indie comics, did you hear that I’m running a Kickstarter?
