Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 1/27/24
Welp, here we are at the end of January. The month just flew by, and February promises to be rather exciting for yours truly. I will announce more when I can, don’t want to jump the gun. Let’s just say this is gonna be a good year for your ole pal Henchie and making comics.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #116 for actually taking me by surprise.
Meanwhile, I have cast aside the madness that was Project Zomboid and now I’m settling into Super Mario Wonder. I splurged on that game before Christmas but then got distracted. So hopefully I’ll have fun with that. Also, I just finished the second season of The Bear and I wish I’d watched it sooner because it definitely would have made my year-end list for favorite TV show. Hot damn that was good television!
Comic Reviews: G.O.D.S. #4 and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #116.

6 Other Classic Cartoons That Could Use a Modern Comic Reboot
For years now, classic cartoons from the 1980s and sometimes 1990s have been all the rage. They get rebooted, they get new, updated cartoons, and sometimes they get big budget movie adaptations! The latest attempt to cash in on that nostalgia is serious, epic comic book runs. I’ve always known that comics are a great medium for this kind of thing, and am excited to see what’s coming.
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic at IDW is about to hit issue #150, and will have a soft relaunch with a new, famous creative team. The ThunderCats comic is making news for a ton of pre-orders for their upcoming #1 issue launch from Dynamite. And both the Transformers and G.I.Joe are getting a big push with the Energon Universe through Image and Skybound. It’s a great time to be a fan of the cartoons from my youth. So what other cartoons could use a fun, modern comic book reboot? I’m glad you asked!
Join me after the jump for six cartoons from my childhood in the 1980s and 90s that could use a modern, serious, comic book relaunch! Also, if any comic companies are reading this, I’m currently available to hire to write these myself!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 1/20/24
What a great week in comics! If you didn’t see already, I’m ramping up my own self-published comic output this year with some Gamer Girl & Vixen web comics. Check them out! And more announcements coming soon! Meanwhile, we’ve got some solid regular comics too, like Superman and the first issue of Cobra Commander!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Wonder Woman #5, because even the place-setting issues of this series are great! It’s nice to see that Yara Flor is still around.
Meanwhile, I’ve settled into some nice, comfortable monotony with Project Zomboid, even though I’ve been reading to hang it up for a while now. It keeps me entertained, and that’s what matters. I just like pedantry in my games. I spent a whole afternoon in this zombie game just mowing the overgrown lawn of my safehouse.
Comic Reviews: Avengers: Twilight: Book One, Cobra Commander #1, Superman #10 and Wonder Woman #5.
