Hench-Sized Comic Reviews – 4/5/25
Oh boy, what a week. This year has really been kicking me down, and I’m not even just talking about the wide world of crumbling society. It’s just been…that kind of week. Anyway, new comics keep coming out, and they main fun enough, like the start of Absolute Green Lantern.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Superman #6 for the absolute best issue so far in this already stellar series! It just keeps getting better!
Meanwhile, I’m still very much enjoying Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, as I always knew I would. Just taking my time living in this game. I watched the first season of Paradise on Hulu and found it merely OK, other than a few standout moments or episodes. And I’m currently really enjoying the first season of The Residence on Netflix, which is a murder mystery set at the White House. Highly recommended.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Green Lantern #1, Absolute Superman #6 and X-Men #14.

A few years ago, the Ninja Turtles got a really awesome beat’em up game called Shredder’s Revenge. It was a gorgeous game steeped in TMNT lore and characters, a beautiful callback to the classic arcade games. Well those developers/publishers are back with a Marvel Comics beat’em up game! Because we are allowed to have nice things.
Marvel Cosmic Invasion looks cool as hell! Interesting character choices. Nova with long hair? I suppose. But Phyla-Vell?! That’s a great deep cut! And there’s always a chance for more characters to be added, just like with the Ninja Turtles game. I wish I’d waited to play that until Mondo Gecko was available!
Anyway, this game looks super fun and I hope I get the chance to play it with friends.
Cosmic Invasion comes out sometime later this year.

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.

Our year of new Marvel content has begun, with Captain America: Brave New World kicking off an entire 2025 of new movies and shows. I’m super excited! I remain a diehard Marvel fan, and there’s very little that’s going to knock me from my perch. Judge me if you will, but I really enjoyed this fourth Captain America film.
Movie Rating: 6/10 – Pretty Good
Falcon and the Winter Soldier is probably my second favorite of the Marvel Studios TV shows. I thought it was an awesome show, with great themes, characters and more. Exploring African American history through the lens of Captain America was a great idea, and I think that show pulled it off nicely. So I was very much looking forward to Sam Wilson getting his own Cap movie. And while I know a lot of people are sour on this movie for some reason, I had a blast.
Join me after the jump for my full thoughts and review! Expect FULL SPOILERS for the movie. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.

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.
