Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 7/19/25
As expected, this busy week has come to an end and we can all relax and enjoy some comics. Except that I didn’t enjoy a lot of this week’s comics! For possibly the first time in a long time, there are some real stinkers in my review column!
But not Comic Book of the Week Absolute Batman #10, for some truly excellent, Batman-themed horror.
Meanwhile, I continue to slowly make my way through Death Stranding 2. I’m very much enjoying the game. Or maybe I just enjoy giving myself virtual busy work? Who’s to say. Other than that, I’m excited for Fantastic Four: First Steps this week, and do hope to get my Superman review up sooner rather than later.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #10, Absolute Flash #5, Exceptional X-Men #11, Imperial #2 and Wonder Woman #23.

Marvel has a new animated show coming out soon called Eyes of Wakanda, and we got our first teaser look last week with the end of Ironheart (which I enjoyed). And we only really get a glimpse of the animation style at this point, and that’s what looks pretty neat.
As always, I remain a staunch Marvel and MCU supporter, so I’ll definitely be giving Eyes of Wakanda a watch. I don’t think we saw any Black Panthers in that teaser, so I don’t really know what the show is actually going to be about. But a fun animated show is a fun animated show, and I’ve got nothing better to do than watch.
Eyes of Wakanda comes to Disney+ on Aug. 27.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 7/5/25
Happy Fifth of July! I was probably just going to enjoy my day off from work and laze about this weekend, but then we got a new Captain America #1, and I felt that would be a good read and review for this great American holiday.
Comic Book of the Week obviously goes to Captain America #1 for a story that really has me excited!
Meanwhile, I am spending most of my 3-day weekend just playing Death Stranding 2 because it’s exactly the game I hoped it would be! I am spending so much time just making deliveries, gathering materials and building roads and monorail tracks. Such fun! And I’ve finally gotten into Taskmaster, with the series 19 finale absolute perfection!
Comic Reviews: Captain America #1.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/28/25
Sometimes a week will come along where all the comics I read are in the middle of stories and just put out issues where the story is moved along. Nothing wrong with that. Especially when the ongoing stories are as good as they are in the likes of Absolute Wonder Woman and/or Void Rivals.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Martin Manhunter #4 because, while it continues to tell an entertaining story, the artwork this issue goes even harder than it’s been going so far!
Meanwhile, I watched and enjoyed the first three episodes of Ironheart. Off to a good start. I’ve also really gotten into Taskmaster lately. It’s all free on YouTube, which is convenient. And last night I finally started playing Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. Great game so far!
Also, all three new Gamer Girl & Vixen mini-comics have been added to Global Comix for you to read and enjoy for free! Just click the link and scroll down for the three new comics, with scripts written by me! It’s only fair I put my own comic work out there if I’m gonna review others!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Martian Manhunter #4, Absolute Wonder Woman #9, Ultimate Spider-Man #18, Void Rivals #20 and VR Troopers #1.

I shouldn’t have watched the new Fantastic Four: First Steps trailer that came out yesterday. But I’m very excited for this movie and I just couldn’t help myself. I try not to watch new trailers so close to a movie’s release, but man…this is gonna be a good one.
If you’re interested in watching the trailer, I want to assure you that it’s mostly safe. There’s a ton of new footage, but it’s new footage around footage we’ve seen in previous trailers. So no new reveals or anything too huge; nothing we didn’t already know about. The trailer shows a little bit more of Galactus, but does not show him from the front or have him speak. So still just glimpses of the big guy.
I can’t wait for this film. It’s gonna be so darn good! I’m thinking of taking the afternoon off from work just to ensure I’m there opening day. But we’ll see what times my local theater is showing the movie.
Fantastic Four: First Steps is coming to theaters on July 25.
