Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/24/26
I don’t know what was going on with me this week, but I wasn’t particularly jazzed by any of the new comics I read this week. There might be something wrong with me if I can’t enjoy Absolute Green Arrow or Wonder Woman!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Fury of Firestorm #7 for a nice start to the new story.
Meanwhile, I just finished the second season of Haunted Hotel on Netflix and it was just as much fun as the first! Definitely recommended if you want a fun little cartoon. I’m going to see Wildwood this weekend and I’m very excited about that. And I’ll be playing 007: First Light until Nov. 19.
Also, thank you to everyone who ordered Cover Bard #1 through my Kickstarter! We hit our fundraising goal and someday soon I’ll have printed copies of my newest comic in hand!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Green Arrow #6, Fury of Firestorm #7, Wonder Woman #38 and Avengers Armageddon #5.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/17/26
Very good week for comics this week! Nothing Absolute or Midnight for me to check in on, so instead it’s just a bunch of very enjoyable normal superhero comics, like Amazing Spider-Man and a new Venom relaunch!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Legion of Super-Heroes #2 for another very fun adventure that throws us right into the deep end of this new Legion relaunch.
Meanwhile, it’s the final week for my comic book Kickstarter! Cover Bard #1 hit its funding goal on Friday to get printed copies, then everybody can read a comic I wrote myself! Help me prove to the world that I can put my money where my mouth is, and write comics as well as review them. Check out the campaign page or check out this look at the issue to get an idea where it’s for you.
Also, I didn’t really care for the Street Fighter movie, despite being so hyped for it all year. Just kind of a mess of a movie.
Comic Reviews: Amazing Spider-Man #1001, Legion of Super-Heroes #2, Venom #1 and Iron Man #10.

What a week to get into the Halloween spirit! Not only has DC finally released its highly anticipated new Etrigan comic, but Marvel dropped all three debut issues of its new Midnight line in one go! And I read them all! Spider-Man! Fantastic Four! X-Men! And yet…
Comic Book of the Week goes to The Demon #1 because I had the most fun with this debut issue. I know what I like.
Meanwhile, I hated everything about Ted Lasso season 4 and loved pretty much everything about Lanterns season 1. I finally finished the new Wolverine video game and I enjoyed it overall. I’m thinking of doing a review in a week or two. Now I need to find me a new game to sustain me until November 19…
Also, my Cover Bard comic book Kickstarter is oh so close to hitting its goal! As always, I invite anyone reading my reviews to check out my own comic because I am fully capable of putting my money where my mouth is. I can review other people’s comics and then write my own to be reviewed!
Comic Reviews: The Demon #1, Midnight Fantastic Four #1, Midnight Spider-Man #1, Midnight X-Men #1, Absolute Superman #24 and The Deadman #5.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/3/26
Buy my book! Buy my book! Nothing like a good reference to the 30-year-old TV show The Critic to kick off a bout of comic book reviews, eh? But seriously, go check out the Kickstarter for my new comic, Cover Bard #1! We’re almost at our goal and you could be the awesome person that gets us over the top! Imagine how much fun that will feel?
Comic Book of the Week goes to Amazing Spider-Man #1,000 for hitting such a nice milestone, and for also being a swell comic.
Meanwhile, I’m going to wrap up the Wolverine game this weekend. Solid play. I may or may not do a review. I’ll definitely have a review up next week on my thoughts on the first season of Lanterns! Loving the show! Can’t wait for the finale! Beyond that, I’m watching the latest season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and reading Harley & Ivy: Life & Crimes by Erica Henderson. Both quite fun so far. I love Henderson’s artwork.
Comic Reviews: Amazing Spider-Man #1000, Bizarro: Year None #3 and Uncanny X-Men #36.

The next, and possibly last, Marvel Studios TV show on Disney+ is VisionQuest! It’s the final part of a trilogy that started with WandaVision, continued with Agatha All Along, and now involves the Vision dealing with family troubles. There’s a new trailer and it looks great!
Love that slow cover of House of the Rising Sun. I know those types of covers are used a lot, but I still love’em. So sue me. Anyway, this looks really neat! Paul Bettany and James Spader butting heads looks like super fun. The story of Vision finding his humanity is always a hoot. And it builds on the manufactured family from the first two shows with Tommy Shepherd. All looks good to me!
VisionQuest comes to Disney+ on Oct. 14.
