Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 3/22/25
Welcome back to the world of comic reviews! I’ve been on vacation this week, and one would think that would give me more time to read comics and review them, but nah. I’m as lazy as ever. But we’ve got a good batch this week with the likes of Absolute Flash and G.I. Joe.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Batman #6 for a very bombastic finale to the first story arc.
Meanwhile, I spent the majority of this week finally diving into Kingdom Come: Deliverance II and it’s everything I hoped it would be! I still haven’t mastered combat in the way you’re supposed to, but I do well enough. There needs to be an unlimited training mode/testing ground to practice. I saw The Day the Earth Blew Up in the theaters, and that was a hoot. And then the Severance season 2 finale was the bomb, yo! It’s been a good week.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #6, Absolute Flash #1, Exceptional X-Men #7 and G.I. Joe #5.

Hench-Sized Comic Reviews – 3/15/25
I’m finally back with more robust comic reviews! Just been busy, is all. In fact, if you’re reading this, I’m once again out of town! Such is life, I suppose. At least we’ve got comics like Green Lantern Corps and Void Rivals to enjoy.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Superman #5 because I’m a sucker for these comics! Jason Aaron will also be guesting in Scott Snyder’s Comics Writing Class this week, so I’m very excited about that!
Meanwhile, I beat Dragon Age: Veilguard and very much enjoyed the game! Solid 8/10 for me. Great character creator, solid and enjoyable gameplay, and very good characters/story/ending. All around solid RPG. I’ll finally be picking up Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 this week and can’t wait to dive into that!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Superman #5, Green Lantern Corps #2 and Void Rivals #17.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 3/1/25
If you’re reading this when it gets posted, I am on the road heading to pick up the physical copies of Gamer Girl & Vixen Vol. 2! My new comic! I can’t wait to see how it turned out.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Wonder Woman #5 for some truly awesome storytelling and creative moments.
Meanwhile, I was busy buying a new car last weekend, so I missed a lot of comics that came out last week. My bad. And while I had the time to read more comics this week, most of what I read was just really good and enjoyable, and I didn’t have a lot of thoughts about them. Then the days just got away from me. So sorry for the lack of more reviews…
I’m still playing Dragon Age: Veilguard, though I hope to beat it in time to pick up Kingdom Come: Deliverance II ahead of my upcoming week vacation. And I finally watched Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man this past week and it was excellent! A very well-made Spider-Man cartoon, with a great use of a wider Marvel Universe and Spidey’s whole world. Loved it!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Wonder Woman #5.

Yesterday, James Gunn shared our first look at Hal Jordan and John Stewart from the upcoming Lanterns TV show. And I think they look great! Kyle Chandler looks awesome as Hal, and Aaron Pierre is a wild kind of intense.
I am fully on board with this being a more grounded show. We saw what a CGI heavy Green Lantern was like on the big screen. So I’m fine with making a grounded, Earth-based detective show in which the main characters also wield these power rings, and occasionally go into space. There’s definitely a way to balance it all, and my faith in James Gunn remains unwavering, even though I know he’s not making Lanterns.
I like this look! And we better get a crossover with Guy Gardner at some point during the first season, is all I gotta say.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 2/15/25
Readers, you would not believe the month I’m having. Jeez louise. I’m only one man! But at least we’ve got good comics still coming out, like Absolute Batman and the new One World Under Doom.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Green Lantern Corps #1 for a nice return to form for the GL stories I enjoy. Give me all the space cops!
Meanwhile, I’ve got to buy a new car. And I did not save up for having to buy a new car, even though I knew I needed to. So I’m buying this thing based on what savings I do have at the moment, so it’s not great! Which means I’ve got to make Dragon Age: Veilguard and Stardew Valley last a bit longer in terms of entertainment. Avowed and Kingdom Come: Deliverance II are going to have to wait!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #5, Green Lantern Corps #1, One World Under Doom #1 and X-Men #11.
