Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 3/23/24
I swear to god, you guys, if this cold lasts any bit longer I’m going to start smashing stuff! I’ve had a whole week of this thing just rooting itself in my sinuses for a wee bit of a pressure headache! Argh! Anyway, new comics still came out this week.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Superman #12 for a truly excellent climax to its ongoing story so far. Fun stuff all around!
Meanwhile, I watched the first two episodes of X-Men ’97 and they were exceptional! I had high hopes going in, and was blown away by the style, depth, faithfulness and just all around quality job from everyone involved. They took the concept and really used it to its fullest, even if a couple characters don’t sound all that great. I think they should have recast everybody. But maybe that’s just me.
Comic Reviews: Cobra Commander #3, Nightwing #112, Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver #2 and Superman #12.

I don’t know what’s happened, but work has been really busy lately. Your favorite blogger is being run ragged! But I made it through another week and am taking this week to really relax. Thankfully, I got to enjoy some nice comics this week, like Batman and Void Rivals.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Birds of Prey #7 for a confident and fun kick off to their next story.
Meanwhile, it’s the final few days to pre-order Gamer Girl & Vixen vol. 2: Tyrant Lizard Queen! Pop on over to the Kickstarter and order your copy today! I’m making comics! Beyond that, I’m looking to finally finish off Super Mario Bros. Wonder this weekend, and will be trying the free Mortal Kombat 1 play demo as well.
Comic Reviews: Batman #145, Birds of Prey #7, Sensational She-Hulk #6, Ultimate X-Men #1 and Void Rivals #7.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 2/24/24
What a week, what a glorious week! If you haven’t heard the news, my Gamer Girl & Vixen Kickstarter hit its funding goal this week, so I’m on cloud nine! And then the world went ahead and gave me so many of my favorite current comics, like Nightwing, Superman and Transformers!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Wonder Woman #6 because every issue of this series is just mind-blowingly cool!
Meanwhile, I’ve been making my way through various TV shows lately, like Lessons in Chemistry and, finally, Twisted Metal. I’m still playing Super Mario Bros. Wonder and taking my sweet time at on that. No other new games have really caught my attention. So just sort of chilling my way through some OK games and shows these days.
Comic Reviews: Cobra Commander #2, Nightwing #111, Superman #11, Transformers #5, Ultimate Spider-Man #2 and Wonder Woman #6.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 2/10/24
It’s Super Bowl Weekend! And I’m probably instead going to go see the movie American Fiction in an empty theater. It’s supposed to be pretty good. I also had a fun time reading comics this week, like the new Ultimate Black Panther and the new ThunderCats!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Sensational She-Hulk #5 for another very fun, character-based issue. I love what I love, and sometimes She-Hulk really delivers.
Meanwhile, still playing Super Mario Bros. Wonder, still having a ball. It’s a fun, simple game, which is what a traditional Mario game should be. I spent the past week watching all three seasons of Slow Horses on AppleTV+, and that show was good, solid entertainment. I hope Gary Oldman was having fun.
Also, if you haven’t seen yet, the latest volume of my self-published comic — Gamer Girl & Vixen — is coming to Kickstarter on Monday! I would love your support and I’ve no doubt you’ll love my comic!
Comic Reviews: Birds of Prey #6, Captain America #6, Sensational She-Hulk #5, ThunderCats #1 and Ultimate Black Panther #1.
