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.
Read the rest of this entryThunderbolts* Still Looks Fun as Hell!
I didn’t watch the Super Bowl because I never watch the Super Bowl. It’s just not my thing. But you best believe I watched the new Thunderbolts* trailer the moment I saw it show up online. And it still looks fun as all heck!
The trailer is a little choppy for my tastes, but the song is a fun choice and the humor/head butting still looks super entertaining. I have a lot of high hope for this film. I think Thunderbolts* is going to tap into the same charm as the first Avengers film, wherein we take familiar (or semi-familiar) characters and have them team up and butt heads and banter, then learn to work as a team. That’s exactly what I want to see, and that’s exactly what it looks like we’ll get, so yeah, I have high hopes.
Thunderbolts* comes to theaters on May 2!
And this weekend is Captain America: Brave New World! So that’s fun too.

First Trailer for Fantastic Four: First Steps!
The first trailer is hear and it looks pretty neat! Fantastic Four: First Steps is Marvel’s first family now in the hands of Marvel Studios, as part of the MCU. I have high hopes for this one, as it seems like the most out-there Marvel release of the year. The trailer looks very standard, in my opinion, but could still be fun.
Looks pretty good. Thing doesn’t look perfect. The action and superhero stuff looks pretty standard. But I still like the vibe of the 1960s. And that one look at Galactus was neat. The whole movie should be a good time and nothing is going to dampen my expectations and excitement!
Fantastic Four: First Steps comes to theaters on July 25!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 1/25/25
This was one of those weeks where every single comic I’m reading comes out at the same time. And there are some I’m way behind on, like Scarlet Witch and Fantastic Four, that I really need to dig into and get caught up. But until then, we’ve got some excellent books, including Superman and Wonder Woman!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Wonder Woman #4 for a perfectly crafted chapter in this already exciting series.
Meanwhile, I’m starting to wind down on Stardew Valley and pick back up Dragon Age: The Veilguard, so that’s exciting. I’m enjoying the new season of Severance, but didn’t really care for the second season of The Silo. I’m also reading Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees, finally, and it’s as good as everyone says.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Wonder Woman #4, Power Rangers Prime #3 Superman #22, Ultimate Spider-Man #13, Uncanny X-Men #9 and Wonder Woman #17.
Read the rest of this entryDaredevil: Born Again is Coming Soon!
Daredevil: Born Again is coming to Disney+ on March 4! And that’s according to it’s first official trailer, which arrived yesterday! Don’t read this, watch the trailer!
This looks super exciting. Just like everybody else, I’m very much loving the idea of bringing back the Netflix Daredevil show with more seasons. Charlie Cox and his pals are just so perfect as the Daredevil cast, and his few appearances in Spider-Man and She-Hulk have only whet the whistle. We need him back for reals!
Hopefully Born Again lives up to all the hype. The fans know exactly what they want, and surely Disney can’t be oblivious to that. And while you can’t always just give fans what they want…this is an expensive TV show we’re talking about, with a lot of the MCU’s future hanging on its success. Are Disney and Marvel going to do right by the fans? Or are they going to change things in an attempt to be different?
We’ll find out when Daredevil: Born Again comes to Disney+ on March 4!
