Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/19/24
Here we are in the middle of October and nothing to show for it but some comic book reviews. Oh well. This week sees the first issue of Mystique and the last issue of Tom Taylor’s Nightwing, among other things.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Wonder Woman #14 because I feel like this comic is on a whole different level and it’s not fair to the other comics I’m reviewing.
Meanwhile, I beat Star Wars: Outlaws, and I posted my review/thoughts this past week. The game won’t be missed. In the aftermath, I’ve started getting back into Baldur’s Gate 3. A lot of clean-up patches have come out since I last played a year ago (finally saw the epilogues!) and I’ve decided to maybe finish off a character I dropped and start a new one with a friend. Should be fun.
Comic Reviews: Mystique #1, Nightwing #118, Ultimate Spider-Man #10 and Wonder Woman #14.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/12/24
This is a big week for comics! It’s the launch of DC’s new Absolute Universe line of books! Do they live up to the hype? You’ll have to read on and see!
Comic Book of the Week is Absolute Batman #1, because yeah, it totally lives up to the hype, for the most part.
Meanwhile, a bunch of good comics came out this week, but a lot of them were mid storyline or I haven’t been reviewing them regularly, so I didn’t add them to this already sparse list. Ah well. Beyond that, I’m still very much enjoying The Penguin and Agatha All Along, and have finally started watching the second season of The Rings of Power. So I’d say I’m in a good place. May finally try to beat Star Wars: Outlaws this weekend.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #1 and Exceptional X-Men #2.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/5/24
Last time I only reviewed X-Men comics, so this time i’m only reviewing DC Comics. It’s a big month for DC, as they kick off their new All In initiative. And I’m getting on the ground floor with the new one-shot special!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Batman #153 for a truly excellent start to the new storyline, starting with a pretty nice clean slate.
Meanwhile, I’m loving The Penguin, enjoying Agatha All Along and have stalled a bit playing Star Wars Outlaws. I’m at just about the end game, but got distracted with some other games on the side that do stealth much better. Heh. Perhaps I’ll finish the game off for good this weekend, but then I won’t have another game to play until next year! I’ll need to find something on sale somewhere…
Comic Reviews: Batman #153, DC All In Special #1 and Plastic Man No More: Book Two.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 9/21/24
It’s apparently X-Men week in my comic reviews! The only comics I ended up reading and reviewing this week are parts of From the Ashes. And they’re all good comics! So I’m thrilled to read the likes of X-Factor and X-Men.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Dazzler #1 because it’s a near perfect debut for a comic I feel like I manifested out of pure hopes and dreams.
Meanwhile, I’m still enjoying Star Wars: Outlaws. I’m stretching it out nicely so that I don’t need to worry about getting a new game anytime soon, though the endgame is drawing closer. Fun stuff. I loved the first two episodes of Agatha All Along, and the first episode of The Penguin. So things are really darn good these days, pop culture consumption wise.
Comic Reviews: Dazzler #1, X-Factor #2 and X-Men #4.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 9/14/24
It’s another lazy week for me and comic book reviews. Just a pair of comics to check out, both of them more than good and both showing off a lot of potential. So that’s fun!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Uncanny X-Men #2 because I liked it just a little bit more than Avengers Assemble #1.
Meanwhile, i’m still enjoying Star Wars: Outlaws. It’s a fun game. A solid 7/10 from me. It’s not as polished or as deep as I would love, but I’m enjoying the surface level open world and mission structure. The perfect sort of game to just play and enjoy to kill the time I dedicate to video games each week.
Comic Reviews: Avengers Assemble #1 and Uncanny X-Men #2.
