Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 9/2/23
Another week of not many comics, and that’s totally on me. Maybe I just need to read more comics? Hopefully I’ll get the chance, because I am on vacation! It’s also a good week for the new Ms. Marvel revival series.
Comic Book of the Week goes to the awkwardly named Batman/Catwoman: The Gotham War: Battle Lines #1 for an interesting kick off to yet another crossover and yet another war in Gotham City.
Meanwhile, Baldur’s Gate 3 continues to go well, though I still remain hesitant to sink any more playthroughs into my life on the off chance they improve the game down the line. I won’t be playing Starfield anytime soon because I don’t have an X-Box and I don’t think my PC can handle it. So that stinks. And in a few days it’s my 40th birthday, so that’s a thing!
Comic Reviews: Batman/Catwoman: The Gotham War: Battle Lines #1 and Ms. Marvel: The New Mutant #1.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/19/23
Welp, back to the daily grind. No more New York City. No more bruises from the trip. Just a week of nice, normal comics, like Hawkgirl and Uncanny Avengers.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Void Rivals #3 for another enjoyable little chapter in this space saga.
Meanwhile, still enjoying Baldur’s Gate 3. I’ve got a couple of games running and am very much enjoying myself with the game. I also really enjoyed the Blue Beetle movie and I’ll be disappointed if/when it bombs. We’ll see.
Comic Reviews: Hawkgirl #2, Uncanny Avengers #1 and Void Rivals #3.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/12/23
If you’re reading this when it posts on Saturday, I should be in New York City visiting Flame Con, the world’s premiere LGBTQ+ comic book convention! I’m going to meet the artist on my next Gamer Girl & Vixen graphic novel. I’ll have more to share about that soon, but it’s her first time on the East Coast, and it makes for a nice day trip for me!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Superman Annual #1 for a whole and hearty issue that does a lot with the ongoing story, while setting up even more! I don’t know if I’ve ever been this excited about Lobo.
Meanwhile, Baldur’s Gate 3 proceeds in spectacular fashion. I’ve currently got three games going, a co-op game with a friend where I’m a wild magic sorcerer, a solo game where I’m a heroic half-orc bard and a third game where I’m going to try to be evil. I normally hate being evil in games, but the evil route seems to have a lot of interesting differences.
Comic Reviews: Avengers #4, Immortal X-Men #14 and Superman Annual #1.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/5/23
It’s a new dawn! It’s a new day! The Fall of X is here and I actually read a couple of those books, like the new X-Men and Astonishing Iceman. I’m a bit more on board now than I was before.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Scarlet Witch #7 for a really fun, creative, done-in-one story.
Meanwhile, it’s a new world, friends. I have put Tears of the Kingdom behind me and have started Baldur’s Gate 3! Tannenbaum, my half-orc bard, is living the good life. Adventure is his! Let us hope I can make it all the way through this game. Also, I loved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem and I’ll have a review up on Wednesday.
Comic Reviews: Astonishing Iceman #1, Fantastic Four #10, Justice Society of America #5, Scarlet Witch #7 and X-Men #25.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 7/29/23
It’s a big week in comics this week with a new Hellfire Gala that changes the face of the X-Men once again! I’ll probably be checking out a lot of the new X-books this fall, so hopefully they’re good.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #110 for an issue where the bad guys win that doesn’t leave me in a bad mood, unlike another certain issue this week.
Meanwhile, I finished both Tears of the Kingdom and Diablo 4 in the same weekend, so now i’m currently sans video game. I should probably get back into reading! I have a huge pile of comic book tpbs that I just keep buying for the fun of buying, but have yet to start reading. Gotta fix that.
Comic Reviews: Avengers #3, Hellfire Gala #1, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #110 and She-Hulk #15.
