Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/11/25
Welcome to a couple of comic book reviews! It’s been a very busy week at work for me, so I wasn’t able to review everything I might have wanted. And actually, it’s a Scott Snyder heavy week, what with DC K.O. Oh, also, New York Comic-Con is this weekend. I’ve been to that in the distant past! Huzzah!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Batman #13 for the excellent setting up of some hopefully exciting comic bookery.
Meanwhile, I’ve got a 3-day weekend for the holiday so I will finally be cracking into Ghost of Yokei! Can’t wait! Though I’ve also barely scratched the surface of Silksong…perhaps I’ll juggle both. I mostly liked the Peacemaker season 2 finale, but I did not like how it ends on nothing but set-ups and cliffhangers that will probably never get answered for who knows how long. What a weird choice.
Also, this week I’m finally introducing Short Reviews! I read the first issue of Robert Kirkman’s takeover of Transformers and I didn’t care enough to give it a full review. So check out my short review at the bottom of this article!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 9/13/25
I don’t normally post comic reviews from two weeks at a time, but work got really busy at the end of last week and I just didn’t get around to posting the reviews I prepared. So I’ve added a couple reviews to this week’s regular releases, like Absolute Batman and Captain America.
Comic Book of the Week goes to the Batman/Deadpool crossover because I love me a good Marvel/DC crossover project!
Meanwhile, I mostly spent the past week replaying some old PC games now that I’ve got a new computer with a fancy new graphics card! It’s been alright. In better news, work has begun on volume 3 of my own comic, Gamer Girl & Vixen! We’re gonna take a big swing with this new threequel and are very excited to make it happen. I love when the creative juices are flowing and I’m writing up a storm with ideas!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #12, Amazing Spider-Man #12, Captain America #3 and Deadpool/Batman #1.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/23/25
Lots of comics this week, a lot going on, and I read a bunch and reviewed a couple. I wonder if I should start doing mini-reviews for the comics I read but don’t think are worth a full length review…Anyway, here’s Wonder Woman.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Batman #10 for a pretty gnarly origin story for Absolute Bane.
Meanwhile, I’ve wrapped up Death Stranding 2 and enjoyed that game very much! Now I’m gameless for a month until Ghost of Yokei comes out. I’m enjoying Alien: Earth and loved the first episode of Peacemaker. And soon I will be binging both the new season of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and the new Netflix show Long Story Short. Can’t wait!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #11, Black Cat #1 and Wonder Woman #24.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 7/19/25
As expected, this busy week has come to an end and we can all relax and enjoy some comics. Except that I didn’t enjoy a lot of this week’s comics! For possibly the first time in a long time, there are some real stinkers in my review column!
But not Comic Book of the Week Absolute Batman #10, for some truly excellent, Batman-themed horror.
Meanwhile, I continue to slowly make my way through Death Stranding 2. I’m very much enjoying the game. Or maybe I just enjoy giving myself virtual busy work? Who’s to say. Other than that, I’m excited for Fantastic Four: First Steps this week, and do hope to get my Superman review up sooner rather than later.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #10, Absolute Flash #5, Exceptional X-Men #11, Imperial #2 and Wonder Woman #23.

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.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #7 and Amazing Spider-Man #1.
