Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 1/10/26
It’s a new week. There are new comics. I’ve got a dentist appointment so I’m kinda rushing through this week. It’s only DC comics! Like Absolute Superman and Batman!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League for a wonderful final issue of this wonderful little mini-series.
Meanwhile, I’m playing my way through Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora because it was on sale and I’m enjoying it very much. I like a big open world game. Haven’t seen the third movie yet, but I hope to catch a showing before it leaves theaters. I watched the second season of Fionna and Cake and loved that. And then I’ll need to find something else to watch.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Superman #15, Batman #5, Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League #6 and Absolute Batman: Ark M Special.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 1/3/26
Welcome to the world of tomorrow! It’s 2026 and we’re all struggling along. My town was hit with three snowstorms back-to-back-to-back in one week, so I’m having a doozy of a time. Thankfully I can work from home. And since there weren’t any major comic releases I was interested in this week, I’ve gone back to review all the major comics that came out the week of Christmas! That should be fun.
Comic Book of the Last Week goes to Absolute Wonder Woman #15 because the team-up between Wonder Woman and Batman was as good as we all hoped it would be.
Meanwhile, I very much enjoyed the Stranger Things series finale. It got pretty wild and pretty big, but came together nicely in the end. Beyond that, I’m finally finishing off Squid Games. On the video game side of things, I’ve started Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora after getting it on sale. Should hopefully sustain me for a couple of months, because I enjoy a big Ubisoft open world.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Superman #14, Absolute Martian Manhunter #7, Absolute Wonder Woman #15, Power Rangers Prime #13 and Void Rivals #25.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 12/13/25
You guys. This week. Apparently when I got new landlords, they may or may not have cancelled the driveway snowplow contract? Found that out the hard way. Ugh. Anyway, coupla fun comics this week.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Batman #15 for a very excellent and proper introduction to the Absolute Joker.
Meanwhile, I’m about halfway through an anime my brother recommended, Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End. I don’t watch much anime, but have seen some from time to time. Pretty good so far. And then I’m still playing through Astrobot, because I’m in no rush when it comes to video games. I’m also finally reading Sex Criminals by Fraction and Zdarsky after I got the omnibus for Christmas last year. It’s also pretty good so far.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #15 and Amazing Spider-Man #17.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 11/29/25
Happy American Thanksgiving! The big day was two days ago and I had a really nice meal with family, and that’s why I didn’t read and review many comics this week. Mostly just indulged in my love of the Absolute Comics.
Comic Book of the Week is Absolute Batman #14, which is pretty much the pinnacle of what modern comics should and could be.
Meanwhile, I finished all five seasons of You’re the Worst and had a great time! Very enjoyable show. And I splurged on the Black Friday sale for Astrobot on the Playstation 5. Fun platformer so far. Lots of neat Easter Eggs that I mostly understand, because I’ve always been a Playstation man (only missed the PS3). Next up, I’ll be watching the Stranger Things episodes, get into the second season of Hazbin Hotel and will go see Wake Up Dead Man this weekend!
There’s also still time to order your copy of LobStar #1! The Kickstarter will end in the week ahead, and my peeps are looking to raise as much money as they can to make more comics!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #14, Absolute Wonder Woman #14 and Infernal Hulk #1.

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!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman Annual #1 and Power Rangers Prime #11.
