Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 9/21/24

It’s apparently X-Men week in my comic reviews! The only comics I ended up reading and reviewing this week are parts of From the Ashes. And they’re all good comics! So I’m thrilled to read the likes of X-Factor and X-Men.

Comic Book of the Week goes to Dazzler #1 because it’s a near perfect debut for a comic I feel like I manifested out of pure hopes and dreams.

Going for the classic outfit

Meanwhile, I’m still enjoying Star Wars: Outlaws. I’m stretching it out nicely so that I don’t need to worry about getting a new game anytime soon, though the endgame is drawing closer. Fun stuff. I loved the first two episodes of Agatha All Along, and the first episode of The Penguin. So things are really darn good these days, pop culture consumption wise.

Comic Reviews: Dazzler #1, X-Factor #2 and X-Men #4.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 9/14/24

It’s another lazy week for me and comic book reviews. Just a pair of comics to check out, both of them more than good and both showing off a lot of potential. So that’s fun!

Comic Book of the Week goes to Uncanny X-Men #2 because I liked it just a little bit more than Avengers Assemble #1.

Everybody meet some of the new mutants!

Meanwhile, i’m still enjoying Star Wars: Outlaws. It’s a fun game. A solid 7/10 from me. It’s not as polished or as deep as I would love, but I’m enjoying the surface level open world and mission structure. The perfect sort of game to just play and enjoy to kill the time I dedicate to video games each week.

Comic Reviews: Avengers Assemble #1 and Uncanny X-Men #2.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 9/7/24

Let me tell you, folks, you’ve never met a lazier blogger than I. I’ve been off from work this whole week for my birthday, so I had all week to read comics and do reviews and post stuff. But ultimately, I’m late with this post and have only reviewed two comics this week…but they’re two new ones and good ones.

Comic Book of the Week goes to Plastic Man No More: Book One for its creative art style and solid introductory story.

Yeah, it’s pretty funny, too

Meanwhile, my week off has mostly been spent in glorious isolation. I’m trying to save up money to buy a new car, so I wasn’t about to go on any grand trips. I splurged on Star Wars: Outlaws for my birthday and it’s been fun! I’m enjoying myself with Outlaws, though it could be a lot more polished in my opinion. Other than that, I’m reading some graphic novels I had saved up and taking frequent naps. Watched Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire finally and did not care for it.

Comic Reviews: Exceptional X-Men #1 and Plastic Man No More: Book One.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/24/24

Another week, another stack of interesting comics. Nothing too mind blowing came out this week, but I felt like reviewing some on my pile for funsies, like Nightwing and Ultimate Spider-Man.

Comic Book of the Week goes to the stand alone Power Rangers Infinity #1 because it’s just a fun, silly comic that I enjoyed.

Meanwhile, only a week until I’m on vacation and playing Star Wars: Outlaws! Can’t wait! I hope it’s good! Shame to hear we won’t be getting a second season of The Acolyte, but at least now I can watch the second season of The Rings of Power!

Comic Reviews: Nightwing #117, Power Rangers Infinity #1 and Ultimate Spider-Man #8.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/17/24

This is quite the week for comics! Some new weirdness, some ongoing X-Men awesomeness, and the end of Rainbow Rowell’s She-Hulk. There were even more comics, but I settled on these couple.

Comic Book of the Week goes to X-Factor #1 for an excellent, if repetitive, start.

Mark Russell has got this

Meanwhile, it’s the last week to pledge for the new issue of The Cloak Room on Kickstarter, so it would be awesome if you readers would support that series. I had a short story featured in the first issue! Beyond that, I got caught up on The Boys, and it was a fun season. Beyond that, I’m kind of just waiting for Star Wars: Outlaws to drop before I have anything really exciting going on in my pop culture life.

Comic Reviews: Biker Mice From Mars #1, Sensational She-Hulk #10, X-Factor #1 and X-Men #2.
