Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/14/23
Comic releases are weird. Last week saw the release of a metric ton of comics I’m reading, so much so that I had to skip a few reviews just so I could fit this column into my busy schedule. But this week, I’ve only got two reviews because not much came out that I’m interested in. If Black Panther and Fantastic Four came out this week, I would have caught up and reviewed them!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Avengers #6, mostly for a backup feature starring a more obscure Marvel superhero, Firebird!
Meanwhile, a week from now, we’ll all be playing Spider-Man 2! Until then, I toil away on a Cyberpunk 2077 replay. Can I beat the game by Friday? Honestly, probably not, but I’ll give it a try. Beyond that, I’m enjoying Loki season 2, Lower Decks season 4 and the second season of Killing It. Have you seen that? Really fun show.
Comic Reviews: Avengers #6 and Batman and Robin #2.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/7/23
This was a crazy week for comics! New, highly anticipated comics, like Transformers and G.O.D.S.! Big comics like the new Batman! So many comics that I had to skip some of those I enjoy just to fit them all in during my week!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Birds of Prey #2 for a really stylish issue that does a lot of really cool things with art and color.
Meanwhile, I enjoyed the final episode of Ahsoka, though the series overall was rather disappointing. Thankfully, the first episode of Loki season 2 was a hoot! So the shows just keep coming. And Cyberpunk 2077 is as fun as I remember, though it’s not all that different from the first time I played at launch. Still generally fun.
Comic Reviews: Batman #138, Birds of Prey #2, G.O.D.S. #1, Transformers #1 and X-Men #27.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 9/30/23
Another week is upon us, and it’s another week of reading comics! Good for us. Some pretty solid comics too, like new Power Rangers and new Avengers.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Void Rivals #4 for another solid, entertaining chapter in this ongoing tale. It’s all pretty simple, but it’s effectively simple.
Meanwhile, I finally beat Baldur’s Gate 3! I beat both a co-op campaign with a friend, and my solo campaign where I was able to do more. And it’s come to a fitting conclusion, and I’ve moved right on to the new Cyberpunk 2077 upgrades and DLC. I had a great time last time I played the game at launch, so here’s hoping for another good time now.
Comic Reviews: Avengers #5, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #112, Ms. Marvel: The New Mutant #2 and Void Rivals #4.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 9/23/23
What an interesting week for comics! We’ve got a couple of new #1 relaunches, and DC Comics comes back after an event that stymied their titles for two months. Lot of great reads this week, including Nightwing, Captain America and Superman!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Wonder Woman #1 for a very strong, very powerful first issue that absolutely nails the tone its going for right off the bat.
Meanwhile, my time with Baldur’s Gate is winding down. I beat the game with a co-op friend finally, and now I’m just going to go through the motions to finish off some solo games, or put them on hold to wait for some game fixes. We’re a month away from the new Spider-Man 2 game, so I’ve got to get ready for that.
Comic Reviews: Captain America #1, Nightwing #106, Superman #6, Titans #3 and Wonder Woman #1.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is out on digital download and whatever else people use to watch movies at home these days. It’s one of the best movies of the year, and a hugely awesome experience. I loved the movie, as if that was in question. And I’m very much looking forward to the announced sequel: Beyond the Spider-Verse.
Sadly, the plan to release Beyond the Spider-Verse next year probably isn’t going to happen. I thought they were making these two movies back-to-back, but I guess that’s not the case, and work has barely begun on the threequel. Oh well. I’m a patient man, and I’ll see it when I see it. I once did a list of what I wanted to see in Across the Spider-Verse, and some of it actually came true! So if I do this list of what I want to see in Beyond, maybe some of those will come true as well.
Join me after the jump for six things I hope to see in the threequel/trilogy conclusion. And feel free to share your own hopes and dreams in the comments below!
