Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 9/30/23
Another week is upon us, and it’s another week of reading comics! Good for us. Some pretty solid comics too, like new Power Rangers and new Avengers.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Void Rivals #4 for another solid, entertaining chapter in this ongoing tale. It’s all pretty simple, but it’s effectively simple.
Meanwhile, I finally beat Baldur’s Gate 3! I beat both a co-op campaign with a friend, and my solo campaign where I was able to do more. And it’s come to a fitting conclusion, and I’ve moved right on to the new Cyberpunk 2077 upgrades and DLC. I had a great time last time I played the game at launch, so here’s hoping for another good time now.
Comic Reviews: Avengers #5, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #112, Ms. Marvel: The New Mutant #2 and Void Rivals #4.

This weekend, I will likely finish up with Baldur’s Gate 3, and will set the game down for a good long while. Maybe I’ll play it again in a few months, after several patches, fixes and maybe a definitive edition. So what do I play between now and Spider-Man 2 at the end of October? How about I try Cyberpunk 2077 again. There’s new DLC, after all.
I played Cyberpunk 2077 on launch on my Playstation 4 slim and it ran perfectly. I had zero problems with the game. It wasn’t the be-all, end-all RPG that it promised, and just felt like another first-person RPG, but I had a fun time and played the game to its fullest.
Since then, Cyberpunk has reportedly improved by leaps and bounds, with major updates and upgrades, and now some new content in the DLC Phantom Liberty. And I also now own a Playstation 5. So there’s a good chance the game will be even better!
We’ll see how that goes.

6 Answers I Need from Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati
The Ahsoka TV show is almost over and there’s only one thing I really care about: the secret history and potential futures of Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati. I haven’t seen last night’s episode yet, so maybe every question on this list has already been answered, but I wrote this list anyway. These characters are super damn cool.
I think everyone agrees that Baylan and Shin are the best part about the Ahsoka show. It’s a good show, it’s fine. But does anybody really care about Sabine getting back to Ezra? I watched all of Rebels, but I really, really don’t care. Should we really be all that concerned about Grand Admiral Thrawn when the sequels exist? No thank you. I want to know more about the super cool, super mysterious dark Force-users who have their own agenda and aren’t super predictable.
So join me after the jump for six questions I have about Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati, even if they are super obvious questions.

The next season of Rick and Morty comes out next month, and with it new voices for the main characters. Original voice actor and co-creator Justin Roiland was revealed to be a super creep, so he’s out. They hired sound-alikes to do the voices of Rick and Morty and you can check out how well they do in this new trailer.
I think they’re fine. Sometimes you can’t tell there’s a difference, and sometimes you really can. I don’t think it’s going to bother me. I’ll definitely still watch and enjoy the new season. I’ve started watching Solar Opposites with the new voice, and it’s fine. We’ll all get through this.
Rick and Morty season 7 comes to Cartoon Network on Oct. 15.

New/Old Doctor Who Incoming!
There’s a new bunch of Doctor Who 60th anniversary specials coming up, and they will hopefully be good! I still haven’t watched the final season of Jodie Whittaker’s run, because those seasons weren’t as good. But David Tennant is back! And Catherine Tate, my favorite companion! I have no real opinion on Russell T. Davies. I prefer Steven Moffat, but that’s neither here nor there.
Check out this trailer for the Doctor Who specials! Nothing is really spoiled, other than the actors already announced as playing the Doctor.
Looks like a lot of fun! I really want to get caught up on that season I’ve missed and be back on board Doctor Who. The show will always be great. Just gotta find the time and energy to get caught up. If everything moves to Disney+, that will help, since not everybody has every streaming service.
I very much look forward to more Donna Noble! The three specials arrive on…wherever these things currently stream…in November.
