Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 9/13/25
I don’t normally post comic reviews from two weeks at a time, but work got really busy at the end of last week and I just didn’t get around to posting the reviews I prepared. So I’ve added a couple reviews to this week’s regular releases, like Absolute Batman and Captain America.
Comic Book of the Week goes to the Batman/Deadpool crossover because I love me a good Marvel/DC crossover project!
Meanwhile, I mostly spent the past week replaying some old PC games now that I’ve got a new computer with a fancy new graphics card! It’s been alright. In better news, work has begun on volume 3 of my own comic, Gamer Girl & Vixen! We’re gonna take a big swing with this new threequel and are very excited to make it happen. I love when the creative juices are flowing and I’m writing up a storm with ideas!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #12, Amazing Spider-Man #12, Captain America #3 and Deadpool/Batman #1.
Read the rest of this entryThey’ve Remade Anaconda in the Best Way Possible
I’d heard rumblings of this Anaconda remake and now we’ve got an actual trailer, which looks pretty cool. Basically, Paul Rudd and Jack Black will get meta as fans of the original Anaconda movie who want to make their own version, only to wind up battling a giant snake themselves. It’s true! Watch the trailer and see!
Fun stuff. I dig it. I like Paul Rudd and Jack Black. The premise is just funny enough to be clever, to a degree. It appears to be a real movie. So this one is definitely now on my radar. I wonder if one of those lead actors came up with the idea for this movie and then just pulled the necessary strings to get it made. Maybe Jack Black knows the right people from his work on the Jumanji sequels.
Anaconda is coming to theaters around Christmas time.

Our First Look at the New Witcher
You know what, I’m probably going to watch the new season of The Witcher on Netflix when it comes out. I don’t really care that Henry Cavill left for creative differences. I don’t really care that the story is all over the place and I can’t remember what happened in the previous season. I don’t care that it differs from the video games. There’s still potential in the show.
The new Hemsworth lead looks the part. And there’s action and a wraith in that trailer. And I dunno…they’re gonna keep making it, I suppose I’ll keep watching.
But considering how popular that first season was, somebody really dropped the ball on The Witcher. This could have been a real hit! This coulda been a contender! And now it’s going to go out with the whimper of all whimpers.
The Witcher returns to Netflix for season 4 on Oct. 30.

There’s Gonna Be More Hazbin Hotel!
Hazbin Hotel was a pretty awesome show last yar. I haven’t watched Helluva Boss yet, but Hazbin Hotel was a darn hoot! And there’s a second season coming next month. We’ve even got a trailer! But don’t watch until you’re caught up on season one. It’s darn good, people!
Looks fun to me! This was a great show with great characters and great songs, and I can’t wait for it to come back and really push the envelope. Bigger songs! War between Heaven and Hell! Tons of kinky romance! Bring it all on!
Hazbin Hotel season 2 comes to Amazon Prime on Oct. 29.

Can’t Wait for Wake Up Dead Man!
We got a new trailer yesterday for Wake Up Dead Man, the third Benoit Blanc mystery (or Knives Out mystery, if you will). Can’t wait! These movies are incredible and I hope Rian Johnson and Daniel Craig just keep making them forever.
I was able to see Glass Onion in one of my local theaters back when that first came out, and hopefully I’ll be able to do the same with Wake Up Dead Man. Netflix is fine, but the big screen is the big screen!
The movie looks spooky, which is a nice take. Might as well switch up the settings and styles and tones between movies. Not a fan of Blanc’s new hairstyle…but what do I know? I’m not the fashion maven that is Benoit Blanc. I’m sure it will be fine!
Wake Up Dead Man comes to selected theaters on Nov. 26 and then to Netflix on Dec. 12!
