Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 3/14/26
Can you believe we got to go another week with new comics coming out? How exciting! Especially since it’s stuff like Power Rangers Prime and the new X-Men United.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Batman, which is earning it’s once-a-generation, industry-defining status.
Meanwhile, the second volume of The Museum of the Uncanny anthology from Very Big Comics is coming to Kickstarter soon! The landing page is already up, so click the “Notify Me” button to help build some pre-launch attention. I had a short story in the first volume, but nothing in this one, but I will always support my comic-making buds and I hope you do too! Check it out!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 3/7/26
What a week, what a week! I was off from work this week and mostly spent my time lounging around not doing much of anything. Good times. I got caught up on a couple of comic series that I’d abandoned a while ago. So that was nice. And we’ve got review for those comics, like Absolute Flash and X-Men.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Batman #7 for doing something new and potentially interesting with the Joker.
Meanwhile, I hurt my thumb somehow so I couldn’t play anything video games with a thumb stick this week. Instead, I built some LEGO and started watching the final seasons of My Hero Academia. Let’s hope the show ends well. I also watched Strip Law on Netflix and it was good. I like watching these random adult animated shows on Netflix, and this one was particularly weird and wacky in all the ways I like.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Flash #12, Absolute Superman #17, Batman #7 and X-Men #26.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 2/21/26
My relationship with comics is so weird these days. I’m loving pretty much everything DC is putting out, I’m very very lukewarm on anything Marvel is attempting, and I’ve all but given up on the Energon Universe. I’ve got a vacation coming up, and I think I’m gonna try to get caught up on all the comics I’ve let fall to the wayside so that I have more review options. Anyway, here’s Captain America and the Ultimate Spider-Man finale.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Batman #17, which delivers another absolute banger as it introduces Absolute Poison Ivy.
Meanwhile, I finally finished Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. It was a solid, enjoyable RPG that wasn’t as deep as I might have preferred, but it was a fun play. Now I’m on the search for my next game to play, and I don’t want to spend much money…I’m also rewatching all of Star Trek: Lower Decks to finish my recent Trek binge. The show absolutely and wonderfully holds up. I hope to see these characters again someday.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #17, Captain America #7, Ultimate Spider-Man #24, Wolverine: Weapons of Armageddon #1 and Wonder Woman #30.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 2/14/26
I was buried in snow again this week, so I worked from home one day and had a bunch of time to read more comics than usual. Sometimes I’ve been feeling that I review too few comics, or that I read too few. So I really wanted to expand my horizons this week! Like Vertigo! And Deadpool even!
True to form, however, Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Wonder Woman Annual, because it’s awesome.
Meanwhile, not much else going on, just getting through the second half of winter. Watched the latest season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and it was fun. And I’m onto the second DLC for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, so it’s all just moving along nicely in life. Such is everything.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Wonder Woman Annual #1, Cyclops #1, Void Rivals #26, Bleeding Hearts #1, D’Orc #1 and Wade Wilson: Deadpool #1.

Alright, I’m fully on board with these Avengers: Doomsday teasers. They’re short and sweet and the new one is pretty cool. It’s the X-Men! The classic Fox X-Men!
Personally, I’m over the Fox X-Men. I’m ready for Marvel to reboot that franchise into their own MCU characters. But we’re here anyway, and I’m probably going to have fun with it, so who am I to stop them? There’s no denying that Ian McKellen is the best there is, so why not let him and his buddy Patrick Stewart have another go? And that Cyclops badassery is choice.
Avengers Doomsday is now less than a year away, next December.
