Hench-Sized Comic Reviews – 9/27/25
Comic reviews might have to take a back seat to life coming up next month. I’ve got a big project at work that is going to keep me busy around the clock! But we’ll see what I can get done. Until then, we’ve got a big, fun pile of comics this week, including Wonder Woman and X-Men!
Comic of the Week goes to Absolute Wonder Woman #12 for an absolutely perfect issue of this series. Kelly Thompson and her creative team are making this look easy.
Meanwhile, I watched the finale for Alien Earth this week and am mostly just whelmed. I’ve never been a big Alien franchise guy, but I liked the show well enough. Nothing special. I did really enjoy Haunted Hotel on Netflix, a new cartoon with 10 easy breezy episodes to get through if you’re into that sort of thing. And then my progress in Silksong has stalled because I can’t get past a couple of very early mini-bosses. I’m trying my best, gosh darnit! Fortunately, reviews for Ghost of Yokei are positively glowing, so perhaps I’ll grab that next week.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Wonder Woman #12, Black Cat #2, Void Rivals #23, Wonder Woman #25 and X-Men #22.

We’ve known for a few years now that Insomniac was making a Wolverine video game. They’ve done a fantastic job on all the Spider-Man games, and I’m in favor of them making all sorts of superhero games! Wolverine especially!
Looks amazing! Looks a little cut scene heavy, but what do I know? The fighting looks good too. And hopefully a lot of that is active game play. The costume looks great. The gore is on fire. This is a damn good trailer!
Wolverine has had some great video games in the past. The X-Men Origins: Wolverine game, in particular, was a wonderful time! So I can only hope we get something similar and something new and awesome out of this.
Also, they put out a behind-the-scenes segment as well! Just found this and am adding it to my original post.
For now, the Wolverine game is scheduled for next fall in 2026. We’ll see. It’s just nice knowing it’s coming out sooner rather than later at this point.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/30/25
Not a lot going on this week and I didn’t post much. I really need to turn that around. But I tweaked my back yesterday and the pain really stopped any sort of anything from happening. Still read some good comics though, like Superman and Void Rivals.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Martian Manhunter for a wild and crazy first arc finale!
Meanwhile, I binged both the new season of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Long Story Short this past week. Sunny is always a hoot, and Long Story Short — from the creators of my favorite show, BoJack Horseman — lived up to all the hype and hope I had for it! Such a wonderful show! I cannot wait for future seasons!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Martian Manhunter #6, Superman #29, Void Rivals #22 and X-Men #21.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 7/19/25
As expected, this busy week has come to an end and we can all relax and enjoy some comics. Except that I didn’t enjoy a lot of this week’s comics! For possibly the first time in a long time, there are some real stinkers in my review column!
But not Comic Book of the Week Absolute Batman #10, for some truly excellent, Batman-themed horror.
Meanwhile, I continue to slowly make my way through Death Stranding 2. I’m very much enjoying the game. Or maybe I just enjoy giving myself virtual busy work? Who’s to say. Other than that, I’m excited for Fantastic Four: First Steps this week, and do hope to get my Superman review up sooner rather than later.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #10, Absolute Flash #5, Exceptional X-Men #11, Imperial #2 and Wonder Woman #23.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/21/25
Greetings and salutations, comic lovers! I’m back with another couple of reviews. I can only hope people are actually reading. And speaking of reading comics, check out some of the new Gamer Girl & Vixen mini-comics at Global Comix, written by me, with a variety of artists! We’re adding three new comics for Pride Month!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Flash #4 for a nice little issue that moves the story along. Getting real Ultimate Spider-Man (original) vibes.
Meanwhile, I was on vacation this week and did a ton of relaxing at home. I finished Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and very much enjoyed that game. Started playing Balatro and it’s as fun as everybody said last year. Finished 20th Century men and it was fine. Read Mark Russell’s Superman: Space Age and it was fine. Watched the final season of The Umbrella Academy and it was, you guessed it, fine.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Flash #4, G.I. Joe #8 and X-Men #18.
