Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/7/25
Summer is upon us and the heat is turning up. I’ve got my air conditioner fully installed and it’s still going strong after nearly 20 years keeping me cool. This thing is a beast! And it keeps me cool to read more comics, like Imperial and Power Rangers Prime!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Superman #8 because greatness is as greatness does, people. It’s not my fault this comic is so damn good with every single issue!
Meanwhile, I’m still in the pre-endgame of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. I tend to only play video games on the weekends these days, which is a good way to stretch out games. Death Stranding 2 doesn’t come out until the end of the month, after all. Beyond that, I watched and didn’t care for The Better Sister, and I’ll hopefully spend this weekend watching that new Predator anime and the new Wes Anderson film in theaters!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Green Lantern #3, Absolute Superman #8, Imperial #1 and Power Rangers Prime #7.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 5/31/25
I had another busy week this week, but found time to sit and read a bunch of comics. I also found the time to catch up on some of my favorite current comics, so that was nice. And like we’ve seen a lot recently, it’s a bunch of bangers, like Superman and Ultimate Spider-Man.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Martian Manhunter because I am now on board for the weirdness, especially now that the story is developing.
Meanwhile, I continue to enjoy and take my time with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. If you’re on the fence about this one, I can promise you that it’s definitely like a classic Final Fantasy game, like the glory days of 7, 8, 9 and 10. So it’s good. I also just finished the TV Show The Studio this week with Seth Rogen on AppleTV+ and it was good! Definitely lives up to the hype it has received.
Also, it is with a heavy heart I announce the end of my half-hearted, blog-based campaign to get a comic book company to hire me to write a Street Sharks comic. Bleeding Cool says IDW has one in the works already. I truly put it no effort, but it woulda been neat. In the end, it’s my own fault for not becoming a successful enough comic book writer to make my mark in the age of 80s/90s cartoon adaptations.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Martian Manhunter #3, Absolute Wonder Woman #8, Batman #160, Superman #26 and Ultimate Spider-Man #17.

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.
