Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 4/27/24

Jeez! I’m sorry this is so late! I had to work this morning. Otherwise we’re back with more comic book reviews! Just like last week, a bunch of my favorite comics came out this week and I didn’t want to leave my reviews of them in the dust. So I read some good comics and I’m prepared to talk about some good comics, like the end of Duke and some more Ultimate Spider-Man.

Comic Book of the Week goes to Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #119 for getting the Darkest Hour train back on the tracks, just in time to announce the end of the series.

That caption has multiple meanings

Meanwhile, I finally started playing God of War: Ragnarok after getting it for free with my Playstation 5 several years ago. It’s pretty much exactly what I expected, and that’s pretty nice. Beyond that, I also finally built the Optimus Prime LEGO set I bought several years ago. That was super fun as well.

Comic Reviews: Duke #5, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #119, and Ultimate Spider-Man #4.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 3/30/24

Happy Easter weekend, everybody! I’ll be heading home to see the folks and am hoping for a nice weekend where I finally, at long last, defeat this sinus infection. Thankfully, had a trio of really enjoyable comics this week, including Duke and Power Rangers.

Comic Book of the Week goes to Ultimate Spider-Man #3 because, while all three issues were enjoyable, I found this one to be the most engaging and entertaining.

I always enjoy a heroic Green Goblin

Meanwhile, I’ve started watching Shogun and am enjoying it, after all the rave reviews. And I started playing that new Saints Row game that came out in 2022. It’s…fine. I can definitely see why it crashed and burned, but it suffices as a cheap Grand Theft Auto knock-off for the time being. I really need to finally play God of War: Ragnarok.

Comic Reviews: Duke #4, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #118 and Ultimate Spider-Man #3.

Marvel is Getting Into the Overwatch Business

I like new superhero video games as much as the next person. So of course I have some interest in the newly announced Marvel Rivals. Granted, I’m probably never going to play it, but there’s no harm in sharing this announcement trailer. It’s apparently Overwatch by watch of a bunch of Marvel characters.

I played Overwatch for a hot second when it first came out, just to try it out. I think it was a free demo? I dunno. The game did not hold my interest, so this Marvel Rivals thing will probably also not hold my interest. But a lot of people enjoy Overwatch, and I’m happy that they can now play a Marvel superheroes version.

There will be a closed alpha in May, so I don’t think the game is coming out anytime soon. Probably in 2025, like all other major games. That’s gonna be a big year!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 2/24/24

What a week, what a glorious week! If you haven’t heard the news, my Gamer Girl & Vixen Kickstarter hit its funding goal this week, so I’m on cloud nine! And then the world went ahead and gave me so many of my favorite current comics, like Nightwing, Superman and Transformers!

Comic Book of the Week goes to Wonder Woman #6 because every issue of this series is just mind-blowingly cool!

Heck yeah

Meanwhile, I’ve been making my way through various TV shows lately, like Lessons in Chemistry and, finally, Twisted Metal. I’m still playing Super Mario Bros. Wonder and taking my sweet time at on that. No other new games have really caught my attention. So just sort of chilling my way through some OK games and shows these days.

Comic Reviews: Cobra Commander #2, Nightwing #111, Superman #11, Transformers #5, Ultimate Spider-Man #2 and Wonder Woman #6.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 1/13/24

Another week, more comics, the world keeps spinning around and around. Some pretty good and enjoyable comics this week, like Transformers and the first issue of the hotly anticipated Ultimate Spider-Man #1.

Comic Book of the Week is Sensational She-Hulk for an excellent issue of superheroes being normal people, which I love.

I want more dancing in my superhero comics

Meanwhile, I watched Echo this past week and I enjoyed it. Definitely nothing special or outstanding, but it’s a solid corner of the MCU that could be further explored in the future. I wouldn’t mind seeing her interact with other heroes and actually play a role. Beyond that, my interest in Project Zomboid is definitely beginning to wane after a few unfortunate deaths. I just wanna play the game and not have to keep restarting! Stupid zombies.

Comic Reviews: Sensational She-Hulk #4, Transformers #4 and Ultimate Spider-Man #1.
