Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 7/15/23
I’m afraid I don’t have much to review this weekend, everybody! It was a very hectic week for me for various reasons, so I didn’t have much time to read a lot of comics. And most of the stuff that came out wasn’t on my list anyway. I’m not interested in DC’s nightmare event, and I wasn’t going to waste time with that Ms. Marvel funeral issue since they’ve already announced her return.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Scarlet Witch #6 because this is still a fun comic, even if it’s the only one I read this week.
Meanwhile, I’m getting nearer and nearer the end of Tears of the Kingdom. I’d say getting two months out of a video game is pretty solid! Whereas Diablo 4 I can’t wait to finish, but I also can’t handle too much of that game in one sitting. Oh well. Beyond those two games, not much else going on to talk about nerdwise. Next week is Comic-Con, but I won’t be there, again.

My 6 Favorite Wolverine Costumes
Wolverine is as cool of a comic book character as they get. He’s all piss and vinegar, all claws and fighting. He was the stare of the entire X-Men movie franchise. And in his potential swan song — Deadpool 3 — we’re finally going to see actor Hugh Jackman suit up in a classic, comic book Wolverine costume. No more black leather, no more movie-ending teases; Jackman is suiting up and looking good.
So with Wolverine’s costume on my mind, I’ve decided to put together a list of my favorite Wolverine costumes from over the decades. I’ve done similar lists for Spider-Man and Batman. And Wolverine has had more than a few costumes to choose from over the years. From simple costume changes to alternate realities to various cartoons, Wolverine has a lot of costumes.
So join me after the jump for my favorites! And feel free to share your own favorite Wolverine costumes in the comments below.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 7/8/23
Not much in the way of comics this week. In fact, there’s gonna be a bit of a comic review drought this whole month, I think. DC is starting some new event that I’m not interested in, and a look at the upcoming release calendar just doesn’t have a lot of my comics on it. Maybe I’ll try some new things. We’ll see.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Fantastic Four #9 for its fun use of Alicia Masters as the fifth Beatle.
Meanwhile, I think I’m nearing the end of Tears of the Kingdom, but I’m stretching it out as much as possible. I’m probably far from the end of Diablo 4, but we’ll see. It’s a good game, though probably not my cup of tea in the long run.
Comic Reviews: Fantastic Four #9 and X-Men #24.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 7/1/23
Small week for comics this week, being the end of the month. It’s also been just one heck of a week for me. Ugh. I do not need to be paying this much to fix my car every couple of months…Anyway, we’ve got Green Arrow, for one thing.
Comic Book of the Week goes to She-Hulk #14 because this series has finally hit a groove I enjoy, after the first storyline left me in the dust.
Meanwhile, everything else continues to shamble along. Still immersed in both Tears of the Kingdom and Diablo 4. Enjoying Secret Invasion. Didn’t care for the new Indiana Jones. Just kind of chugging along and trying not to go broke.

Top 6 Comic Book Whippers
A new Indiana Jones movies is coming out this weekend, so I’ve decided to do a List of Six about whips. Yep, that’s the connection. That’s the whole driving force of this article on my blog on this auspicious Wednesday. But not just any characters who use whips, but comic book characters specifically. Because that’s my driving force.
My first thought for this list was old actors who could also come back to revive a favorite franchise from my childhood, but I couldn’t really think of any that aren’t already being done. So then I just moved on to Indiana Jones using an iconic whip, and that some comic book characters use whips or whip-like weapons. And boom, there’s my thought process on putting this List of Six together.
Join me after the jump for the top six comic book characters who use whips as their primary weapon. Because why not? What have you got to lose?
