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.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/21/25
Greetings and salutations, comic lovers! I’m back with another couple of reviews. I can only hope people are actually reading. And speaking of reading comics, check out some of the new Gamer Girl & Vixen mini-comics at Global Comix, written by me, with a variety of artists! We’re adding three new comics for Pride Month!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Flash #4 for a nice little issue that moves the story along. Getting real Ultimate Spider-Man (original) vibes.
Meanwhile, I was on vacation this week and did a ton of relaxing at home. I finished Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and very much enjoyed that game. Started playing Balatro and it’s as fun as everybody said last year. Finished 20th Century men and it was fine. Read Mark Russell’s Superman: Space Age and it was fine. Watched the final season of The Umbrella Academy and it was, you guessed it, fine.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Flash #4, G.I. Joe #8 and X-Men #18.

6 Things I Want to See in Avengers: Doomsday
We’ve got two new Avengers movies coming up starting late next year, so we’re a ways off. But I was giving Doomsday some thought the other day and realized I’d never done a List of Six on what I hope to see in the movie. I used to do these a lot for Marvel films. So here we are for my own personal hopes and dreams for Avengers: Doomsday in late 2026.
I’m still a major Marvel fan. Say what you will about me, but I’m still loving pretty much everything Marvel is putting out. I cannot fathom how anyone can say the Marvel products are “garbage”. They’re maybe not all amazing and phenomenal, but the films and TV shows are still well-made and very entertaining. I can’t wait to rewatch Thunderbolts* when it comes to Disney+, and Fantastic Four: First Steps is expected to be a highlight of the rest of my year.
So can Marvel make themselves a billion dollar movie-maker again with Doomsday and then Secret Wars? I’m more than willing to find out!
