Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 5/10/25
Do the weeks seem longer to anybody else? I know I’m working a lot, but damn, the weekend seems to take forever. Anyway, new comics, good stuff all around, like X-Men and Spider-Man.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Superman #7 for an awesome new origin for Brainiac.
Meanwhile, The Museum of the Uncanny Kickstarter was a success! So I will have a new short comic story entering the world sometime soon. Hopefully you all ordered your copy and will get to read it! Beyond that, I’m loving Andor, Doctor Who and The Last of Us, obviously, and continue to slowly make my way through Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Fun game.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Green Lantern #2, Absolute Superman #7, Amazing Spider-Man #3 and X-Men #16.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 4/26/25
Another week has come and gone and another batch of comics is upon us. A ton of books I’m reading came out this week, and somehow I found the time to review a whole bunch of them, including Absolute Martian Manhunter, Batman: Hush 2 and Amazing Spider-Man.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Wonder Woman, which shouldn’t be a surprise, because few things can touch this comic other than the regular Wonder Woman book and the other main Absolutes.
Meanwhile, I finished The Pitt last night and it definitely lived up to all the hype its been getting! Excellent medical drama. And I’m winding down on Kingdom Come: Deliverance II and am in need of another game. Possibly that Elder Scrolls: Oblivion remaster…
Double meanwhile, the Kickstarter campaign remains ongoing for The Museum of the Uncanny anthology! I’ve got a short comic story in the book and we’re doing well as we head into the final weeks of the campaign! Force me to put my money where my mouth is! I spend all this time reviewing comics, come and read one I’ve written myself!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Martian Manhunter #2, Absolute Wonder Woman #7, Amazing Spider-Man #2, Batman #159, G.I. Joe #6 and X-Men #15.

Hench-Sized Comic Reviews – 4/12/25
I don’t know about you, but weeks have started to feel very long these days. Thankfully, this week still managed to come to an end, so we’ve got that going for us. Solid week for comics, though I didn’t read too many. At least we’ve got new Absolute Batman, eh?
Comic Book of the Week goes to Amazing Spider-Man #1 for a solid, enjoyable relaunch of the main Spider-Man series, which I am again willing to check out.
Meanwhile, I’ve got a short comic story in a new anthology that’s on Kickstarter right now! Museum of the Uncanny is a collection of short stories about weird and quirky artifacts, and my story is called “The Normal Quesadilla Maker That Definitely Can’t Talk.” So if you enjoy reading my comic reviews, I invite you to check out the Kickstarter and perhaps support my comic writing as well! You can also order physical copies of both Gamer Girl & Vixen books as add-ons in this campaign.
Also, I watched the fifth season of the Harley Quinn cartoon and am super pleased to say that it is back on form! Really entertaining season that felt like the early seasons again.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #7 and Amazing Spider-Man #1.

A few years ago, the Ninja Turtles got a really awesome beat’em up game called Shredder’s Revenge. It was a gorgeous game steeped in TMNT lore and characters, a beautiful callback to the classic arcade games. Well those developers/publishers are back with a Marvel Comics beat’em up game! Because we are allowed to have nice things.
Marvel Cosmic Invasion looks cool as hell! Interesting character choices. Nova with long hair? I suppose. But Phyla-Vell?! That’s a great deep cut! And there’s always a chance for more characters to be added, just like with the Ninja Turtles game. I wish I’d waited to play that until Mondo Gecko was available!
Anyway, this game looks super fun and I hope I get the chance to play it with friends.
Cosmic Invasion comes out sometime later this year.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 1/25/25
This was one of those weeks where every single comic I’m reading comes out at the same time. And there are some I’m way behind on, like Scarlet Witch and Fantastic Four, that I really need to dig into and get caught up. But until then, we’ve got some excellent books, including Superman and Wonder Woman!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Wonder Woman #4 for a perfectly crafted chapter in this already exciting series.
Meanwhile, I’m starting to wind down on Stardew Valley and pick back up Dragon Age: The Veilguard, so that’s exciting. I’m enjoying the new season of Severance, but didn’t really care for the second season of The Silo. I’m also reading Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees, finally, and it’s as good as everyone says.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Wonder Woman #4, Power Rangers Prime #3 Superman #22, Ultimate Spider-Man #13, Uncanny X-Men #9 and Wonder Woman #17.
