Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/28/25
Sometimes a week will come along where all the comics I read are in the middle of stories and just put out issues where the story is moved along. Nothing wrong with that. Especially when the ongoing stories are as good as they are in the likes of Absolute Wonder Woman and/or Void Rivals.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Martin Manhunter #4 because, while it continues to tell an entertaining story, the artwork this issue goes even harder than it’s been going so far!
Meanwhile, I watched and enjoyed the first three episodes of Ironheart. Off to a good start. I’ve also really gotten into Taskmaster lately. It’s all free on YouTube, which is convenient. And last night I finally started playing Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. Great game so far!
Also, all three new Gamer Girl & Vixen mini-comics have been added to Global Comix for you to read and enjoy for free! Just click the link and scroll down for the three new comics, with scripts written by me! It’s only fair I put my own comic work out there if I’m gonna review others!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Martian Manhunter #4, Absolute Wonder Woman #9, Ultimate Spider-Man #18, Void Rivals #20 and VR Troopers #1.

I shouldn’t have watched the new Fantastic Four: First Steps trailer that came out yesterday. But I’m very excited for this movie and I just couldn’t help myself. I try not to watch new trailers so close to a movie’s release, but man…this is gonna be a good one.
If you’re interested in watching the trailer, I want to assure you that it’s mostly safe. There’s a ton of new footage, but it’s new footage around footage we’ve seen in previous trailers. So no new reveals or anything too huge; nothing we didn’t already know about. The trailer shows a little bit more of Galactus, but does not show him from the front or have him speak. So still just glimpses of the big guy.
I can’t wait for this film. It’s gonna be so darn good! I’m thinking of taking the afternoon off from work just to ensure I’m there opening day. But we’ll see what times my local theater is showing the movie.
Fantastic Four: First Steps is coming to theaters on July 25.

Gamer Girl & Vixen in ‘Tag Me’
We’ve got another new Gamer Girl & Vixen mini-comic to share with you all! Making this comic is one of the best things I do with my life, and I’m always so happy that I can share these fun little tidbits with you readers. This is ‘Tag Me’, with a script by me and artwork by Jesse Lundburg!
I really love this one. You can click here to read the full comic, and then see all the mini-comics we’ve made so far at Global Comix. You can also get the digital PDFs for Gamer Girl & Vixen volumes 1 and 2 on Global Comix as well!
I hope you liked this comic! There’s one more to release later this week and then we’ll get back to the drawing board to make some more free comics! And volume 3 in the future!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/21/25
Greetings and salutations, comic lovers! I’m back with another couple of reviews. I can only hope people are actually reading. And speaking of reading comics, check out some of the new Gamer Girl & Vixen mini-comics at Global Comix, written by me, with a variety of artists! We’re adding three new comics for Pride Month!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Flash #4 for a nice little issue that moves the story along. Getting real Ultimate Spider-Man (original) vibes.
Meanwhile, I was on vacation this week and did a ton of relaxing at home. I finished Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and very much enjoyed that game. Started playing Balatro and it’s as fun as everybody said last year. Finished 20th Century men and it was fine. Read Mark Russell’s Superman: Space Age and it was fine. Watched the final season of The Umbrella Academy and it was, you guessed it, fine.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Flash #4, G.I. Joe #8 and X-Men #18.

If you haven’t heard yet, Seth MacFarlane has got Liam Neeson to make a new Naked Gun movie. I’m no Naked Gun purist. I saw them all back when I was younger and they are a fun, unique humor that is timelessly funny. So it’s encouraging to see that same stuff shine through in the full trailer.
There’s also this international trailer with more footage/different editing.
Looks funny. Looks smartly written. The people making this movie know exactly the type of humor they want to use and I think they nail it, at least in this trailer. And Liam Neeson has always been a master of dry comedic delivery. So yeah, I’m probably gonna see this one in theaters!
The Naked Gun comes out on Aug. 1.
