Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 7/29/23

It’s a big week in comics this week with a new Hellfire Gala that changes the face of the X-Men once again! I’ll probably be checking out a lot of the new X-books this fall, so hopefully they’re good.

Comic Book of the Week goes to Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #110 for an issue where the bad guys win that doesn’t leave me in a bad mood, unlike another certain issue this week.

Sometimes morphin looks weird

Meanwhile, I finished both Tears of the Kingdom and Diablo 4 in the same weekend, so now i’m currently sans video game. I should probably get back into reading! I have a huge pile of comic book tpbs that I just keep buying for the fun of buying, but have yet to start reading. Gotta fix that.

Comic Reviews: Avengers #3, Hellfire Gala #1, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #110 and She-Hulk #15.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 7/22/23

The weekend is upon us! It’s Comic-Con weekend and so much great news is coming out. Fun trailers, new comic announcements; life is good when you’re gorging on Comic-Con news. And the comics were pretty fun this week as well.

Comic Book of the Week goes to Void Rivals #2 for a strong second issue to this new Energon Universe.

Party-poopers are universal

Meanwhile, I conquered Barbenheimer last night and it was a hoot! Both Barbie and Oppenheimer were phenomenal films, in their own right. Also, this might be the weekend I finally finish off The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. I’ve put this ending off long enough, and I’ve got Baldur’s Gate 3 I can transition to in a couple weeks.

Comic Reviews: Black Panther #2, Hawkgirl #1 and Void Rivals #2.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 7/15/23

I’m afraid I don’t have much to review this weekend, everybody! It was a very hectic week for me for various reasons, so I didn’t have much time to read a lot of comics. And most of the stuff that came out wasn’t on my list anyway. I’m not interested in DC’s nightmare event, and I wasn’t going to waste time with that Ms. Marvel funeral issue since they’ve already announced her return.

Comic Book of the Week goes to Scarlet Witch #6 because this is still a fun comic, even if it’s the only one I read this week.

Scarlet Witch zappin’ aliens

Meanwhile, I’m getting nearer and nearer the end of Tears of the Kingdom. I’d say getting two months out of a video game is pretty solid! Whereas Diablo 4 I can’t wait to finish, but I also can’t handle too much of that game in one sitting. Oh well. Beyond those two games, not much else going on to talk about nerdwise. Next week is Comic-Con, but I won’t be there, again.

Comic Reviews: Scarlet Witch #6.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 7/8/23

Not much in the way of comics this week. In fact, there’s gonna be a bit of a comic review drought this whole month, I think. DC is starting some new event that I’m not interested in, and a look at the upcoming release calendar just doesn’t have a lot of my comics on it. Maybe I’ll try some new things. We’ll see.

Comic Book of the Week goes to Fantastic Four #9 for its fun use of Alicia Masters as the fifth Beatle.

Who doesn’t love the gag that Marvel Comics exist in the Marvel Universe?

Meanwhile, I think I’m nearing the end of Tears of the Kingdom, but I’m stretching it out as much as possible. I’m probably far from the end of Diablo 4, but we’ll see. It’s a good game, though probably not my cup of tea in the long run.

Comic Reviews: Fantastic Four #9 and X-Men #24.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 7/1/23

Small week for comics this week, being the end of the month. It’s also been just one heck of a week for me. Ugh. I do not need to be paying this much to fix my car every couple of months…Anyway, we’ve got Green Arrow, for one thing.

Comic Book of the Week goes to She-Hulk #14 because this series has finally hit a groove I enjoy, after the first storyline left me in the dust.

I’ll follow you anywhere, handsome stranger

Meanwhile, everything else continues to shamble along. Still immersed in both Tears of the Kingdom and Diablo 4. Enjoying Secret Invasion. Didn’t care for the new Indiana Jones. Just kind of chugging along and trying not to go broke.

Comic Reviews: Green Arrow #3 and She-Hulk #14.
