Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 1/24/26
Busy times are taking their toll and I just didn’t make or find enough time to read too many comics this week. But then also, my list of comics is always shrinking. I need to fix that. Anyway, it’s a toss up between Captain America and Wonder Woman this week.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Captain America #6 because it is just a slightly more interesting story launch.
Meanwhile, I finished a new read through of Gotham Central, and it was as great as always. And I’m still working my way through Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora as a game, without seeing that third movie! I gotta work on that too. Beyond that, I’m enjoying Fallout, liked the first episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and am looking forward to Wonder Man on Tuesday.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 1/10/26
It’s a new week. There are new comics. I’ve got a dentist appointment so I’m kinda rushing through this week. It’s only DC comics! Like Absolute Superman and Batman!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League for a wonderful final issue of this wonderful little mini-series.
Meanwhile, I’m playing my way through Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora because it was on sale and I’m enjoying it very much. I like a big open world game. Haven’t seen the third movie yet, but I hope to catch a showing before it leaves theaters. I watched the second season of Fionna and Cake and loved that. And then I’ll need to find something else to watch.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Superman #15, Batman #5, Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League #6 and Absolute Batman: Ark M Special.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 1/3/26
Welcome to the world of tomorrow! It’s 2026 and we’re all struggling along. My town was hit with three snowstorms back-to-back-to-back in one week, so I’m having a doozy of a time. Thankfully I can work from home. And since there weren’t any major comic releases I was interested in this week, I’ve gone back to review all the major comics that came out the week of Christmas! That should be fun.
Comic Book of the Last Week goes to Absolute Wonder Woman #15 because the team-up between Wonder Woman and Batman was as good as we all hoped it would be.
Meanwhile, I very much enjoyed the Stranger Things series finale. It got pretty wild and pretty big, but came together nicely in the end. Beyond that, I’m finally finishing off Squid Games. On the video game side of things, I’ve started Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora after getting it on sale. Should hopefully sustain me for a couple of months, because I enjoy a big Ubisoft open world.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Superman #14, Absolute Martian Manhunter #7, Absolute Wonder Woman #15, Power Rangers Prime #13 and Void Rivals #25.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 12/13/25
You guys. This week. Apparently when I got new landlords, they may or may not have cancelled the driveway snowplow contract? Found that out the hard way. Ugh. Anyway, coupla fun comics this week.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Batman #15 for a very excellent and proper introduction to the Absolute Joker.
Meanwhile, I’m about halfway through an anime my brother recommended, Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End. I don’t watch much anime, but have seen some from time to time. Pretty good so far. And then I’m still playing through Astrobot, because I’m in no rush when it comes to video games. I’m also finally reading Sex Criminals by Fraction and Zdarsky after I got the omnibus for Christmas last year. It’s also pretty good so far.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #15 and Amazing Spider-Man #17.

The first trailer for the Supergirl movie came out today and it looks pretty excellent! I had to watch it on my phone since I’m at work, but I think I got the jist. Great song choice. Great character introduction. Really sets her apart from Superman.
The movie will be based on the Woman of Tomorrow mini-series by Tom King, which is phenomenal! There are some references to the comic in the trailer, like the inclusion of Krypto and Ruthye, but the trailer is a very different vibe from the tone of the comic. I trust DC to pull this off expertly. And I hope we get a lot of the pathos from the comic in the movie. It’s a good one.
Supergirl comes to theaters on June 26.
