Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 11/1/25
Happy All Saint’s Day, everybody! Isn’t that the one that comes after Halloween? I don’t know for sure and I don’t have the energy to look it up at this moment. Just know it’s nice. Not a lot of reviews this week, though for anyone interested, I have finally caught up on Power Rangers Prime.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Batman Annual #1 because Batman beats up some white power shitheads.
Meanwhile, I’m still working my way through Ghost of Yotei and enjoying myself. Very fun game. I just finished watching the Jason Momoa show Chief of War, which was cool. Nothing really special, but a solid watch.
Also meanwhile, my comic friends at Very Big Comics have a new Kickstarter coming out in the week ahead: LobStar #1. It’s about a Maine fisherman who gets the powers of the lobster god! It’s a very New England story. Head on over to the Kickstarter preview and sign up, if you could please. The more people they have signed up ahead of launch the better it looks for the Kickstarter algorithm!

Read the rest of this entryI’m Confident the Final Season of Stranger Things Will Deliver
We got a new trailer yesterday for the fifth and final season of Stranger Things, many years after the last season came out. People will complain about that, but not me. I’ve grown accustomed to having years pass between prestige TV seasons. It just is what it is, and one hopes they can simply stay alive to see the next season.
Anyway, here’s Stranger Things.
Looks great! It’s the final season, so they’re clearly just going for broke with all the monsters and super powers and this and that and huzzah! It doesn’t bother me in the slightest that the actors are old now. People age. It’s called suspension of disbelief. Come up with better jokes. I can’t wait to watch!
The final season will start on Thanksgiving, get a second part on Christmas and then have the finale on New Year’s Eve.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/25/25
Another week and another very small pile of reviewed comics. I might be coming apart at the seams! I read a few comics this week, but we’re largely getting into big crossovers at Marvel and DC at the moment, and I’m just not big into a lot of them.
Comic Book of the Week is Absolute Wonder Woman #13 for another excellent issue and the set-up for another fun little breather story.
Meanwhile, I’m working my way through Mortal Kombat 1 and Ghost of Yotei these days, both fun games. And I’ll be finishing up the new season of Gen V this weekend, also fun. I just enjoy surrounding myself with good, fun things these days. It’s for the best. And the writing for Gamer Girl & Vixen Vol. 3 is progressing very nicely.

Read the rest of this entryA Better Look at Plur1bus
Plur1bus is the next show from TV mastermind Vince Gilligan, the creative genius behind Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. We got a teaser a few weeks ago, and now we’ve got a fuller trailer for the upcoming first season. It looks wild.
Looks wild, looks weird, looks to be pretty good. I don’t want to speculate on what’s happening, but this is a solid and intriguing trailer that will definitely have me checking out the show. Get on board now!
Plur1bus comes to AppleTV on Nov. 7.

Let Them Have More Fionna & Cake
I’m still alive! It’s been a week and a half since I last posted, which might be the longest I’ve ever gone without a post. Wild. But I had a really busy week last week at work, and then the comics I read weren’t really worth talking about for a review column, and then there simply haven’t been any trailers or videos or news worth sharing — or, at least, going out of my way to make a post to share.
But I needed to write something and I’ve settled on the Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake season 2 trailer from Comic-Con a week or two ago.
HBO Max has also just released the opening title sequence! Neat!
I love Adventure Time and I loved the first season of the Fionna & Cake spin-off. So I’m very excited for a second season. As with this franchise, the possibilities are limitless for where they can go and what they can do. Can’t wait!
The new season kicks off on Oct. 23…which is tomorrow! Whew, good thing I’m alerting you people to this gem right now.
