6 Thoughts on Star Wars: Skeleton Crew (Review)
More than a week has passed since the final episode of Skeleton Crew, and it’s sad how little of an impact this show has had on pop culture. I guess not a lot of people were watching? Which is a damn shame, because Skeleton Crew is a great show that had a lot of fun in the Star Wars universe! I had a blast!
TV Show Rating: 9/10 – Great
Like everyone else, I find Star Wars TV to be hit and miss. I haven’t outright hated any show, but wasn’t too impressed with Ahsoka or Obi-Wan Kenobi. I had no idea what to expect with Skeleton Crew when it was announced and teased for years; I barely paid any attention. But that first trailer piqued my interest and I’m happy to have watched every episode week-by-week. This is one of the good ones!
Join me after the jump for my full thoughts/review of Skeleton Crew. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the whole season. And feel free to share your own in the comments below!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 1/11/25
Let me tell you, folks, it has been a week. I live in the northeast and we were buried under several feet of snow last weekend, and all of it is still around. Throw in a couple of other little things that just burred their way under my saddle, and I have had it up to here with crappiness. But time stops for no person, so let’s talk new comics! I reviewed two brand new #1 issues this week.
Comic Book of the Week goes to New Champions #1 for a nicely crafted introductory issue that didn’t lose me at all, despite the brand new characters.
Meanwhile, I continue to lose myself in Stardew Valley, which was the entire point, so that’s going well. Creature Commandos came to an end this week and it was an awesome show. Solid start for James Gunn’s DCU. And I can’t wait for next week’s finale to Skeleton Crew! That show has been a real hoot and a half!
Comic Reviews: Aquaman #1 and New Champions #1.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 1/4/25
Happy New Year, everyone! Here’s hoping 2025 isn’t as crappy as 2024, but I don’t have high hopes. We’re starting off a bit light this week with just a single comic read and reviewed. I read a few more, but this was the only one I felt like reviewing because it’s a good one!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Superman #3 for an unexpected, but no less delightful, take on a classic Superman trope.
Meanwhile, after many years, I finally, somewhat randomly started playing Stardew Valley. I’ve always considered the game, and when my brother mentioned in passing over Christmas that he was playing it again, I finally decided to give it a try. And, of course, it’s everything people say it is. The perfect chill accumulation game for a lazy weekend, just how I like it.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Superman #3.

Happy Holidays, everyone! For some stupid reason, Christmas is on a Wednesday this year, right in the middle of the work week. I’ve got to go back to work the day after Christmas! Anyway, before that happens, we get to read some new comics like Absolute Batman and G.I.Joe.
Comic Book of the Week goes to another stellar issue of Wonder Woman, this time with a big Detective Chimp cameo to drive it all forward.
Meanwhile, my decision to wait on Dragon Age: The Veilguard paid off because it was on sale this week for 40% off! So I snatched it up and am giving that a try. I’m very much enjoying both Skeleton Crew and Creature Commandos, so I’ve got plenty to watch and enjoy. And this Wednesday I’ll be heading home for Christmas with the family! Everything is humming along nicely.
Also, if I haven’t mentioned yet, Gamer Girl & Vixen Vol. 2: Tyrant Lizard Queen is finished and heading to the printers! So anyone who backed our Kickstarter or would like to read my comics, stay tuned for more info on getting a copy of my comic!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #3, G.I.Joe #2, Power Rangers Prime #2 and Wonder Woman #16.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 12/7/24
I was on vacation from work this week and mostly spent the time relaxing and enjoying my various hobbies. I caught up on a lot of comics I’ve fallen behind on, and probably could and should have reviewed a lot more this week…
Comic Book of the Week goes to Batman #155 for an issue that’s fit to bursting with engaging storytelling and fantastic artwork!
Meanwhile, I spent the week playing through the discounted DLC from Sniper Elite 5, a game series I very much enjoy. I’m still doing another playthrough on Baldur’s Gate 3, because it’s cheaper than buying a fully priced Dragon Age: The Veilguard, which is what I was tempted to do. And I bought Hades on sale, so that should be fun once I really devout time to it. Beyond that, I built some LEGO and started reading Chip Zdarsky’s Daredevil run. A good, enjoyable week off, I’d say! And I’ve still got a few days left.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Superman #2, Batgirl #2, Batman #155 and X-Men #8.
