Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/27/22
It’s just gonna be one of those weeks, I guess. I think I’m just reading fewer comics these days. I don’t have any particular reason. I just don’t care for Big Event comics anymore, and I really need to get into more indie stuff. I’ve only got Amazing Spider-Man this week on my pull list.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Amazing Spider-Man #8 for a solid issue and the introduction of the new Spider-Gear.
Meanwhile, I’m loving She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, absolutely loved the third season of The Boys, not particularly digging A League of Their Own, and I’m finally gonna try out Total War: Warhammer III this weekend because the Immortal Empires campaign has launched! Should be fun.
Comic Reviews: Amazing Spider-Man #8.

6 Things in Movies and TV That Don’t Bug Me
Watch out, people, I have opinions on the internet. It would just be safer if you backed the heck up and didn’t come near me as I express these opinions in this carefully cultivated listicle on my personal corner of the information superhighway. Chief among those opinions is that I really, really enjoyed the first episode of the new She-Hulk: Attorney at Law show on Disney+.
The internet’s response to the She-Hulk show is what has prompted this list, though not every entry is going to relate back to the new MCU comedy. I’ve just seen too many complaints — as well as too many clapbacks against those complaints — and I’ve decided to express my frustrations through blogging. I have scoured my own headspace and found a bunch of things in movies and TV that seem to really rile people up, but which have zero effect on me.
Join me after the jump as I whine and whinge about dumb things other people complain about on the internet.

I have not yet watched the first episode of the new Game of Thrones show on HBO Max. I have zero interest in this high budget prequel series to an existing prestige TV show. Likewise, I have zero interest in the high budget prequel series to an existing prestige series of movies. The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power looks impressive, but man, I just don’t care.
So because of a licensing conundrum, Amazon is gonna try to cobble together a show based on Lord of the Rings appendixes? Bwuh? Galadriel is gonna get up to some fightin’ in the long past with no discernable storyline? I just don’t care. But, you know, I’ll probably watch the show eventually. It’s what I do. I watch things.
The Rings of Power comes out on Sept. 2.

I Think I’ll Saints Row This Week
We’re still in the dull days of summer with not much going on. So hopefully the release of the new Saints Row reboot will give me something to occupy my time. I just need something to occupy my precious time!
I’ve got to download the Epic Game Store to buy this game. And hopefully I’ll be able to play co-op with some friends. And hopefully it’ll be a fun and fulfilling reboot. I’ve enjoyed most of the Saints Row games in the past. But we’ll see. I’ll keep my hopes up and we’ll see!
Saints Row comes out on Tuesday.
