Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 7/27/24

Happy Comic-Con Week, everybody! So much going on! So much news! DC All In! Some other stuff. I’m sure it’s a lot. Thankfully, we’ve got good comics to enjoy like Power Rangers and Void Rivals.

Comic Book of the Week goes to NYX #1 for a truly unique energy and premise to this new X-Men comic, at least in the current climate of things.

Kamala is forever cool

Meanwhile, I saw Deadpool & Wolverine Thursday night and it was fun. I don’t think it’s as strong as the first two Deadpool movies because it was more focused on cameos and Easter Eggs than having a rock solid story, but such was the choice. I’ll probably have my full thoughts and review up by Wednesday!

Comic Reviews: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #122, NYX #1 and Void Rivals #11.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 7/13/24

Another busy week at work had me just posting a bunch of trailers this week. Work can be a real bitch sometimes, ya know? But I didn’t want to miss out on the good comics this week, like Transformers and The Ultimates.

Comic Book of the Week goes to X-Men #1 for a solid, enjoyable start to the new From the Ashes relaunch. I hope it all goes well!

Indeed we do

Meanwhile, I did read the Absolute Power stuff from DC last week, I just didn’t get around to reviewing it because of the week I had. I enjoyed it well enough, though the first issue and tie-ins haven’t pulled me out of my general malaise towards Big Events. I’ll probably stick with it for the time being.

Comic Reviews: Transformers #10, The Ultimates #2 and X-Men #1.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/29/24

I’m back with more reviews this week! Some of my favorite comics came out and I decided to write about them on this here blog thing. Comics like Power Rangers and Superman!

Comic Book of the Week goes to Void Rivals #10 for some reveals that were legitimately surprising and interesting, tying this series to the Energon Universe at long last.

Springer might be my new favorite Transformer

Meanwhile, I keep buying graphic novels and then just adding them to my pile of GNs to read. I really need to read some of them and talk about them in this space. I should be making recommendations of random graphic novels I enjoy! That would definitely be a better use of my time.

Comic Reviews: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #121, Superman #15 and Void Rivals #10.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/22/24

Another week where a lot of my favorite comics come out! But I’m not reviewing everything anymore these days. Some times a new comic is just really enjoyable, but there’s not much I have to say about it, so to spare my sanity sometimes, I’m just not going to include it. Looking at you, latest excellent issue of Nightwing…But we do have new Batman and Ultimate Spider-Man comics!

Comic Book of the Week goes to Wonder Woman #10 for a truly emotional and heartfelt issue that finally addresses the Cheetah in the room.

Also much kicking

Meanwhile, not much else going on for me right now. I’m juggling a few different video games until I settle on something big and new. Maybe Elden Ring, finally? I’m not really vibing with The Acolyte, haven’t started The Boys. Haven’t read any of my big pile of graphic novels. Moving along nicely on making Gamer Girl & Vixen. And surviving this heat wave. So yeah, just kinda strolling along through life.

Comic Reviews: Batman #149, Ultimate Spider-Man #6 and Wonder Woman #10.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/8/24

We’re back with more comic book reviews! I do apologize that these will be more haphazard from me going forward. Sometimes there just aren’t any comics coming out that I really have an opinion on. And sometimes I can be pretty lazy. But this week saw some solid releases, like Batman and The Ultimates.

Comic Book of the Week goes to Scarlett #1 for a clean, enjoyable new chapter in the ongoing Energon Universe.

We’ve all been there

Meanwhile, I beat God of War: Ragnarok and it was an excellent game! Just as big and fun as the first. I’ve burned through a couple of TV shows. I enjoyed Mr. and Mrs. Smith, didn’t care for the first two episodes of The Acolyte and absolutely adored Hazbin Hotel. That show lives up to all its hype! This weekend is the third and final season of Sweet Tooth, so hopefully that’s fun.

This week also saw the final issue of the Krakoa Era for X-Men, but I checked out awhile ago, so it won’t be reviewed this week. Bring on From the Ashes!

Comic Reviews: Batman #148, The Boy Wonder #2, Scarlett #1 and The Ultimates #1.
