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.
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.

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.
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.
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.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/24/23
Oh what a week, what a week. Can it really be possible that some of my current favorite comics are all coming out in the same week?! Do we really have new issues of Power Rangers and Superman in the same week?! I must be in comic book heaven.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Nightwing #105 for an artistic achievement that should be praised for all time. Kudos to Bruno Redondo and the entire creative team for this masterpiece!
Meanwhile, I’ve taken a slight break from Tears of the Kingdom to play some Diablo 4! I’ve been playing the Diablo games since the very beginning, though I’ve never engaged in the postgame stuff. I just play the story and try out different classes. It’s fun. I also saw the first episode of Secret Invasion but wasn’t all that impressed. The pacing and tension felt off. Hopefully I’ll like it more as it goes along.
Also, in terms of comics, I’ve decided to stop reviewing Saga because I don’t think I should be giving my thoughts on each individual issue in isolation. I enjoyed the Scarlet Witch annual, but I tend not to review annuals for no particular reason. And the first issue of Ultimate Invasion was solid, though we’ll see if this revival is worth a damn in due time.
Comic Reviews: Avengers #2, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #109, Nightwing #105, Superman #5 and Titans #2.
Read the rest of this entry6 Thoughts on The Flash (Review)
After seemingly a bajillion years in development, running through directors like how Flash runs through hamburgers, The Flash movie has finally been released in theaters. It’s not doing well at the box office at all, and is likely to be another flop for DC Comics on the big screen. So be it. I went into this movie prepared to dislike it, but found myself generally entertained.
Movie Rating: 6/10 – Pretty Good
I am no fan of the Snyderverse. It means nothing to me, especially at this point. I have generally liked the Flash in his Justice League movie appearances, and I’m all for a Flash solo movie. I think it’s silly they went for Flashpoint again. The Flash has been published continuously for decades, but the only story anybody can adapt is one written a couple of years ago? And wasn’t that great to begin with? Ah well, who am I to complain?
Join me after the jump for my full thoughts and review on The Flash. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the whole movie. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.
