Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 9/12/26
It’s going to be a small week for reviews because I sort of got distracted, apparently, and didn’t read many new comics. I’m going to be on vacation next week, and I think I was just ticking off these days to get through them. Anyway, here’s Fury of Firestorm,
Comic Book of the Week goes to The Fury of Firestorm #6 for an excellent finish to its first story arc! Can’t wait to see where we go next.
Meanwhile, I’m wrapping up Star Wars: Zero Company. It was a fun play, but far shorter than I was hoping for. I may do a second play through just to pad out my time. I’m still excited for the Wolverine game in the week ahead, even if the internet seems to be reveling in its okay-to-good reviews. I expect to still have fun with it, though it might also be shorter than I was hoping for. We’ll see!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 9/5/26
Welcome to my birthday weekend! I’ve no big plans. Maybe see my folks. Treat myself to some nice food. I’m gonna buy the Wolverine video game for myself in two weeks. And then I’ve got good comics, like Absolute Superman and Daredevil.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Legion of Super-Heroes #1 for an excellent relaunch of this classic comic.
Meanwhile, I’m greatly enjoying Star Wars: Zero Company. It’s X-Com by way of Star Wars, which is exactly what I wanted. I’m just worried it’s gonna be over too soon with no endless mode — but then I’ll replace it with Wolverine, so I’ll be fine. Beyond games, I finished up the third season of Silo and enjoyed it, and I’m also currently making my way through the newest season of King of the Hill. So I’m in a good place, media and pop culture wise.
Also, stay tuned for a big announcement on one of my own comic projects soon! It’s far past time I introduced my readers to Cover Bard!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Superman #23, Daredevil #6, The Deadman #4 and Legion of Super-Heroes #1.

This was both a weird and good week for me. I had some trouble sleeping, which sucked. But this was also the week of the Grand Theft Auto VI: Extended Look, and that can raise any week back up! As can good comics, like Amazing Spider-Man!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Wonder Woman #23 for a powerhouse performance by our beloved Amazon warrior woman.
Meanwhile, like I said, I had some fun this week. Grand Theft Auto VI looks amazing! Can’t wait! I also started up Star Wars: Zero Company last night and it’s fun so far! I’ve got a 3-day weekend and I’m going to enjoy the heck out of this new game. I also went and saw Coyote vs. Acme and it was a hoot and a half! Lovely, super fun film. Glad we all got the chance to see it.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Catwoman #3, Absolute Wonder Woman #23, Amazing Spider-Man #999, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #3 and Next Level – One Shot #1.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/22/26
This was one of those weird weeks where all the comics I read were a bunch of enjoyable, entertaining reads, but then none of them really stood out as particularly interesting or worth writing about. But I did it anyway! For comics like Absolute Green Arrow and Daredevil, even! But if my reviews seem a bit drab, that’s why.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Avengers: Armageddon #3 for a solid, energetic twist at the end.
Meanwhile, I’m just killing time until I pick up Star Wars: Zero Company next week. That should be fun! I’m keeping an eye on all these Grand Theft Auto VI leaks but don’t really care about them. I looooved the first episode of Lanterns, and the only thing I don’t like is that I don’t have the entire season available to binge watch right away! Gonna have to be patient on that one. Next weekend is also Coyote vs. Acme, so that’s good too!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Green Arrow #4, Avengers: Armageddon #3, Daredevil #5 and Uncanny X-Men #34.

I hope these reviews are doing some good for somebody somewhere. I often realize that I only really read the comics I like, which are a fraction of the total comics that come out in a single week. But hey, I like what I like! For example, Fury of Firestorm! And maybe the new Miles Morales: Spider-Man relaunch!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Batman #23 for another banger issue that is jam-packed with good stuff!
Meanwhile, Dying Light 2 was free on Playstation this month, so I’m gonna play that until Star Wars: Zero Company comes out at the end of the month. Should keep me busy. I watched and loved the finale of season two of X-Men ’97, and will post my full thoughts on the whole season next week. Stay tuned for that. I also watched and enjoyed the second season of Batman: Caped Crusader. May or may not post my thoughts. And I can’t wait for Lanterns tomorrow! Should be fun!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #23, Fury of Firestorm #5 and Miles Morales: Spider-Man #1.
