Hench-Sized Comic Reviews – 4/12/25
I don’t know about you, but weeks have started to feel very long these days. Thankfully, this week still managed to come to an end, so we’ve got that going for us. Solid week for comics, though I didn’t read too many. At least we’ve got new Absolute Batman, eh?
Comic Book of the Week goes to Amazing Spider-Man #1 for a solid, enjoyable relaunch of the main Spider-Man series, which I am again willing to check out.
Meanwhile, I’ve got a short comic story in a new anthology that’s on Kickstarter right now! Museum of the Uncanny is a collection of short stories about weird and quirky artifacts, and my story is called “The Normal Quesadilla Maker That Definitely Can’t Talk.” So if you enjoy reading my comic reviews, I invite you to check out the Kickstarter and perhaps support my comic writing as well! You can also order physical copies of both Gamer Girl & Vixen books as add-ons in this campaign.
Also, I watched the fifth season of the Harley Quinn cartoon and am super pleased to say that it is back on form! Really entertaining season that felt like the early seasons again.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 3/22/25
Welcome back to the world of comic reviews! I’ve been on vacation this week, and one would think that would give me more time to read comics and review them, but nah. I’m as lazy as ever. But we’ve got a good batch this week with the likes of Absolute Flash and G.I. Joe.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Batman #6 for a very bombastic finale to the first story arc.
Meanwhile, I spent the majority of this week finally diving into Kingdom Come: Deliverance II and it’s everything I hoped it would be! I still haven’t mastered combat in the way you’re supposed to, but I do well enough. There needs to be an unlimited training mode/testing ground to practice. I saw The Day the Earth Blew Up in the theaters, and that was a hoot. And then the Severance season 2 finale was the bomb, yo! It’s been a good week.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #6, Absolute Flash #1, Exceptional X-Men #7 and G.I. Joe #5.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 2/15/25
Readers, you would not believe the month I’m having. Jeez louise. I’m only one man! But at least we’ve got good comics still coming out, like Absolute Batman and the new One World Under Doom.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Green Lantern Corps #1 for a nice return to form for the GL stories I enjoy. Give me all the space cops!
Meanwhile, I’ve got to buy a new car. And I did not save up for having to buy a new car, even though I knew I needed to. So I’m buying this thing based on what savings I do have at the moment, so it’s not great! Which means I’ve got to make Dragon Age: Veilguard and Stardew Valley last a bit longer in terms of entertainment. Avowed and Kingdom Come: Deliverance II are going to have to wait!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #5, Green Lantern Corps #1, One World Under Doom #1 and X-Men #11.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 12/21/24
Happy Holidays, everyone! For some stupid reason, Christmas is on a Wednesday this year, right in the middle of the work week. I’ve got to go back to work the day after Christmas! Anyway, before that happens, we get to read some new comics like Absolute Batman and G.I.Joe.
Comic Book of the Week goes to another stellar issue of Wonder Woman, this time with a big Detective Chimp cameo to drive it all forward.
Meanwhile, my decision to wait on Dragon Age: The Veilguard paid off because it was on sale this week for 40% off! So I snatched it up and am giving that a try. I’m very much enjoying both Skeleton Crew and Creature Commandos, so I’ve got plenty to watch and enjoy. And this Wednesday I’ll be heading home for Christmas with the family! Everything is humming along nicely.
Also, if I haven’t mentioned yet, Gamer Girl & Vixen Vol. 2: Tyrant Lizard Queen is finished and heading to the printers! So anyone who backed our Kickstarter or would like to read my comics, stay tuned for more info on getting a copy of my comic!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #3, G.I.Joe #2, Power Rangers Prime #2 and Wonder Woman #16.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 11/16/24
It was another big week for comics this week! We get out first taste at a second issue of one of the new Absolute comics, and there were a pair of big first issues, like the much-anticipated G.I. Joe from the Energon Universe.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Power Rangers Prime #1 for the better of the two launch issues, at least in my opinion.
Meanwhile, life continues as well as can be expected. The Penguin finale was great. Star Trek: Lower Decks is halfway through its final season. Arcane’s second chapter comes out today, so I’m excited about that. And I’m in the process of wrapping up two Baldur’s Gate 3 campaigns. I’m thinking of switching to Dragon Age: The Veilguard next.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #2, G.I. Joe #1 and Power Rangers Prime #1.
