Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/8/26
What a fun week for comics and comic book fans. We’re all still basking in the glory of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, of X-Men casting news, and all sorts of other good things. Yet didn’t review the new Spider-Man comic…that’s on me. Anyway, I did review some good stuff like Absolute Superman and Batman.
Comic Book of the Week goes to The Deadman #3 for a truly marvelous artistic experience.
Meanwhile, I’ve finally, at long last, wrapped up my time in Crimson Desert. I squeezed at least 3 to 4 months out of that game. Had a great time. Loved the whole thing. It would probably be my game of the year…except we’ve still got Wolverine and Grand Theft Auto 6 coming out. Beyond that, I’ve started the second season of Batman: Caped Crusader, and that’s going fine. And if you haven’t seen my review, I absolutely loved Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
I’ve also spent the past week arguing on Reddit that a certain character at the end of the film did NOT get their memories back. I feel like I’ve been taking crazy pills at how many people online seem to think that’s what happened. It’s insane! Come at me in the comments!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Superman #22, Batman #12, The Deadman #3, Iron Man #8 and Uncanny X-Men #33.

It’s that time again! New Spider-Man movie time! I’ve been reviewing Spider-Man movies on this blog since way back in the Amazing Spider-Man days. And I’ve loved all of them! I don’t know if they’ve ever made a real stinker of a Spider-Man movie. I don’t remember how I felt coming out of Spider-Man 3…Regardless, we’ve got a new director, a new direction maybe and a new Spider-Man movie to talk about!
Movie Rating: 10/10 – Fantastic!
I loved this movie, as I’ve loved all Spider-Man movies. I had a ton of fun. I’m starting to worry that my local theater just can’t play new movies to a quality degree, but that’s a me problem, not a movie problem. I’m still a big fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and I never once doubted this movie. It lived up to all the hype it has been getting and I can’t wait to see how it does at the box office this weekend. The people love Spider-Man. This dude loves Spider-Man. We all love Spider-Man!
Join me after the jump for my full thoughts and review of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the movie, the characters and the surprises. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 7/25/26
Welcome back to another week of comics! I keep realizing that there are a bunch of comics that I enjoyed at one point that I lost track of for one reason or another. I had planned to get caught back up with Void Rivals this week…but it didn’t happen. My bad. Good thing I’m still all-in on the Absolute comics! Or most of them.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Superman #21 for a truly spectacular bout of fisticuffs!
Meanwhile, I went and saw The Odyssey earlier this week and loved it! Such a big, bold, awesome and beautiful movie. I wasn’t as captivated the whole way through like I was with Oppenheimer, but it definitely came together in a very strong and emotional third act. Beyond that, I’m finally winding down on Crimson Desert. Great game. I’m currently finishing up the second season of Monarch, which is fine. And I’m all caught up on Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Superman #21, Absolute Wonder Woman #22 and Amazing Spider-Man #33.

I was at work in a courtroom yesterday morning, followed by watching the 3-hour The Odyssey movie, so when this Avengers: Doomsday trailer randomly dropped on a Monday morning, I was in no position to post it. So I waited until today. That’s good enough.
I like it, but I’d say I’m not too hyped. I’m at a plateau of hype for most Marvel projects these days. I have enjoyed every single one — with the exception of Secret Invasion — so I fully expect Doomsday to be good. I fully expect to enjoy it. Bring it on. Let’s have a good movie where everybody shows up and teams up and Doctor Doom is awesome. Should be a hoot. Should be a good time. Cameos just don’t wow me at this point in my jaded life. So I’ll just have to wait and see the movie and enjoy it.
Avengers: Doomsday comes to theaters on Dec. 18.

Tell It Animated: Bowser and Punisher
One of my favorite little channels on YouTube is Tell It Animated, where a dude draws character evolutions from over the years/decades. He’s a cool dude with a great gimmick. And I like sharing what he’s made, even if I’m rather late with at least one of these.
First up is Bowser, or King Koopa for those of us who grew up in the 1980s.
And then we’ve got the Punisher, ahead of his upcoming appearance in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
Good videos, both! Hopefully they brighten somebody’s Monday. I gotta get some work in today and then I’m going to see The Odyssey, so hopefully it’ll be a good day for yours truly.
