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.
Read the rest of this entryNew Dropout Show Incoming!
I’m a big Dropout fan. I’ve been a subscriber since launch, having loved College Humor before then. And with it still being a news free August, I’m sharing the trailer for the next new Dropout show: Crowd Control! Based on a recent episode of Game Changer, it’s a stand up comedy/crowdwork show!
I enjoyed the Game Changer episode as much as the next person, and I’m confident they’ll pull this off as its own show. Personally, I thought it might be difficult to source all those audience members, but the trailer seems to think they’ve done a good job. Perhaps it’s on me for underestimating how many people exist in the world.
Crowd Control is coming to Dropout on Sept. 8!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/23/25
Lots of comics this week, a lot going on, and I read a bunch and reviewed a couple. I wonder if I should start doing mini-reviews for the comics I read but don’t think are worth a full length review…Anyway, here’s Wonder Woman.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Batman #10 for a pretty gnarly origin story for Absolute Bane.
Meanwhile, I’ve wrapped up Death Stranding 2 and enjoyed that game very much! Now I’m gameless for a month until Ghost of Yokei comes out. I’m enjoying Alien: Earth and loved the first episode of Peacemaker. And soon I will be binging both the new season of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and the new Netflix show Long Story Short. Can’t wait!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #11, Black Cat #1 and Wonder Woman #24.
Read the rest of this entryOur First Look at the New Season of Fallout!
The Fallout TV show on Amazon is pretty darn great! The first season was such a breath of fresh air, bringing that whole, wonderful, silly world to life. And instead of making us wait three years like most modern shows, Fallout is coming back in December! And we’ve got a trailer!
Looks great! All the main characters are coming back. We’re diving into both Las Vegas and New Vegas! There’s a Deathclaw. Looks like it’s going to be a blast!
Fallout returns for season two on Dec. 17.

Monday is for Only Murders in the Building
August has been a pretty wild dead zone for new content to share. I mostly only share trailers these days because I’ve just been really busy this summer. But things are calming down at work finally, and I actually do have a new trailer to share.
It’s the fifth season of Only Murders in the Building! I love this show.
Looks like a fun new season to me! I definitely recommend giving it a watch if you’ve never seen Only Murders in the Building. It’s earned it’s five seasons. Steve Martin and Martin Short are great as always, and Selena Gomez has been an excellent addition to their antics. They’re a great core crew for a great show.
The fifth season arrives on Hulu — which is getting incorporated directly into Disney+ — on Sept. 9.
