Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 7/18/26
So it’s gonna be a weird week for comic book reviews from me, dawgs. I had some work and some traveling and this and that, and then, frankly, I wasn’t too impressed with what was on offer. So it’s gonna be a quick week from me.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Green Arrow #3 for another strong issue, though it was a bit scattershot to my liking.
Meanwhile, I dunno, I keep doing the same stuff. Still playing Crimson Desert, though I’m probably nearing the end. I’m gonna go see The Odyssey in theaters on Monday, though not in IMAX. The closest IMAX theater is nearly an hour away and not worth the hassle of getting to. So pretty chill time to be me.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Green Arrow #3, Avengers: Armageddon #2 and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #2.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 7/11/26
Can you believe another week of comics has come and gone? I missed last week because I was away for the holiday. And I’m back this week with the likes of Absolute Batman and Fury of Firestorm.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Daredevil #4 for the most exciting shock ending.
Meanwhile, did I mention that I watched and very much enjoyed Widow’s Bay? Great show! Lives up to all the hype and word of mouth it’s getting. I’m currently working my way through Maniac, a Netflix show from a few years ago. Not great, but alright. And I recently finished reading all Dunk and Egg novellas from the Game of Thrones universe. Those were fun. Should make for some entertaining future seasons of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #22, Absolute Catwoman #2, Daredevil #4 and Fury of the Firestorm #4.

6 Thoughts on Supergirl (Review)
I love last year’s Superman movie. I love James Gunn films. I love Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. So I was very excited to see the new Supergirl film. I’m excited to see a lot of superhero movies. But I have full faith in James Gunn and company to pull of a new, expanding DC Universe of movies. Superman was a great start! Let’s keep it going! Let’s have more fun!
Movie Rating: 4/10 – Pretty Bad
I wanted to like Supergirl. The online discourse is very negative around this film for the usual reasons. And if it needs to be said, I’ll say it right now: that’s all idiot nonsense. Anyone that uses the word ‘woke’ unironically — especially to bash a movie for having a female lead — is not a good person. So if it needed to be said: I am not that kind of person or pop culture afficionado. I got no problem with Milly Alcock. I got no problem with Supergirl as a character. I’m not about that life. I just didn’t care for this movie.
Join me after the jump for my full thoughts and review of Supergirl. Expect FULL SPOILERS for both the movie and the comic, Woman of Tomorrow. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/27/26
I was pretty busy this week covering a pretty cool attempted murder trial for my day job as a mild mannered newspaper reporter, so I didn’t read too many comics. Really just grabbed the ones I was most interested in from DC this week, because they continue to be amazing — comics like Absolute Wonder Woman and Bizarro: Year None.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Superman #20 for not only a fun Hawkman spotlight but also just a damn cool superhero fight comic!
Meanwhile, no change in my love of Crimson Desert, so not much to report on the video game front. If you’re curious where I fall on the GTA6 controversies, know that I will definitely be pre-ordering the $100 Ultimate Edition as soon as I pay off some bills and have $100 scrounged up. I fully expect this game to be monumental and definitely don’t mind paying extra to get some bonus cosmetics. Beyond that, I enjoyed the second season of The Pitt and hope to watch Widow’s Bay soon. Oh! And I’ll be seeing Supergirl this weekend.
Comic Rating: Absolute Superman #20, Absolute Wonder Woman #21 and Bizarro: Year None #2.
Read the rest of this entryMore Batman: Caped Crusader! More President! More King of the Hill!
A couple new cartoon trailers arrived yesterday, and I’m gonna share them, because it’s one of those kinds of Thursdays.
First up is a trailer for the second season of Batman: Caped Crusader, which should be glad it’s getting a second season at all. I liked the first season just fine, but it feels like such a niche show that nobody is talking about. It’s Batman in a noir setting, and it’s a good adaptation.
Show looks good to me! No sign of Robin, so that’s disappointing. But that Joker looks like fun. And the whole show looks fun. And that’s what trailers need to accomplish: make their show worth watching.
Batman: Caped Crusader returns to Amazon on July 31.
Next up is the trailer for the second season of the King of the Hill revival. I also enjoyed the first season of the revival and I welcome more episodes!
I was a fan of King of the Hill back at the beginning, then fell off halfway through. But it’s a good show, and the revival is a strong one. That first revival season was fun. I like the characters. I like the directions they’re going in. Should be a fine continuation.
King of the Hill returns to Hulu on July 20.
Lastly, we got a full trailer for the Rick and Morty spin-off President Curtis. Looks like more Rick and Morty madness.
I still like Rick and Morty. I’m waiting for the current season to wrap up before I binge it. Obviously the show has fallen from its highest heights. But it’s usually still fun. And this President Curtis trailer looks fun. Honestly, it looks like they just set Keith David up in a room by himself with a microphone and let him just shout random and funny things, then they built the show around that — which could still be fun!
President Curtis is coming to Adult Swim and HBO Max on July 26.
