Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/29/26

This was both a weird and good week for me. I had some trouble sleeping, which sucked. But this was also the week of the Grand Theft Auto VI: Extended Look, and that can raise any week back up! As can good comics, like Amazing Spider-Man!

Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Wonder Woman #23 for a powerhouse performance by our beloved Amazon warrior woman.

She is so completely all out of bubblegum

Meanwhile, like I said, I had some fun this week. Grand Theft Auto VI looks amazing! Can’t wait! I also started up Star Wars: Zero Company last night and it’s fun so far! I’ve got a 3-day weekend and I’m going to enjoy the heck out of this new game. I also went and saw Coyote vs. Acme and it was a hoot and a half! Lovely, super fun film. Glad we all got the chance to see it.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/15/26

I hope these reviews are doing some good for somebody somewhere. I often realize that I only really read the comics I like, which are a fraction of the total comics that come out in a single week. But hey, I like what I like! For example, Fury of Firestorm! And maybe the new Miles Morales: Spider-Man relaunch!

Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Batman #23 for another banger issue that is jam-packed with good stuff!

The human brain weighs eight pounds!

Meanwhile, Dying Light 2 was free on Playstation this month, so I’m gonna play that until Star Wars: Zero Company comes out at the end of the month. Should keep me busy. I watched and loved the finale of season two of X-Men ’97, and will post my full thoughts on the whole season next week. Stay tuned for that. I also watched and enjoyed the second season of Batman: Caped Crusader. May or may not post my thoughts. And I can’t wait for Lanterns tomorrow! Should be fun!

6 Thoughts on Spider-Man: Brand New Day (Review)

It’s that time again! New Spider-Man movie time! I’ve been reviewing Spider-Man movies on this blog since way back in the Amazing Spider-Man days. And I’ve loved all of them! I don’t know if they’ve ever made a real stinker of a Spider-Man movie. I don’t remember how I felt coming out of Spider-Man 3…Regardless, we’ve got a new director, a new direction maybe and a new Spider-Man movie to talk about!

Movie Rating: 10/10 – Fantastic!

I loved this movie, as I’ve loved all Spider-Man movies. I had a ton of fun. I’m starting to worry that my local theater just can’t play new movies to a quality degree, but that’s a me problem, not a movie problem. I’m still a big fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and I never once doubted this movie. It lived up to all the hype it has been getting and I can’t wait to see how it does at the box office this weekend. The people love Spider-Man. This dude loves Spider-Man. We all love Spider-Man!

Join me after the jump for my full thoughts and review of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the movie, the characters and the surprises. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 7/25/26

Welcome back to another week of comics! I keep realizing that there are a bunch of comics that I enjoyed at one point that I lost track of for one reason or another. I had planned to get caught back up with Void Rivals this week…but it didn’t happen. My bad. Good thing I’m still all-in on the Absolute comics! Or most of them.

Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Superman #21 for a truly spectacular bout of fisticuffs!

It’s not lookin’ good, Jimbo

Meanwhile, I went and saw The Odyssey earlier this week and loved it! Such a big, bold, awesome and beautiful movie. I wasn’t as captivated the whole way through like I was with Oppenheimer, but it definitely came together in a very strong and emotional third act. Beyond that, I’m finally winding down on Crimson Desert. Great game. I’m currently finishing up the second season of Monarch, which is fine. And I’m all caught up on Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/20/26

Here we go again! More comics! More of our lives wasting away! Another Saturday has arrived and no, I’m not going to see Toy Story 5 in theaters. I just can’t bring myself to worry about that right now, not when I’ve got Amazing Spider-Man and Absolute Green Arrow!

Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Batman #21 because we finally get to see the Absolute Robins in action, and then the whole rest of the issue is neat as well.

Jason do!

Meanwhile, been a busy week for me, so I haven’t had much else going on. Still enjoying the heck out of Crimson Desert. Finally started the second season of The Pitt. And I’ve started reading the Dunk and Egg novellas from George R.R. Martin. Hopefully all these things remain fun and entertaining as they play out.

Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #21, Absolute Green Arrow #2 and Amazing Spider-Man #31.
