Hench-Sized Comic Reviews – 9/6/25
Happy Birthday to me! Enough years have passed that my birthday once again falls on a Saturday, so I get to share some comic reviews for my birthday! And what a darn good week for comics, like Absolute Superman and Absolute Wonder Woman! Honestly, I’ve been reading way more DC books than Marvel these days…
Comic Book of the Week goes to Batman #1 because it’s a very strong start for the Matt Fraction run of the Caped Crusader.
Meanwhile, not doing anything special for my birthday because that’s what happens when you’re in your 40s. I bought myself a new computer, and that’s running nicely. And I splurged on some graphic novels and action figures. So feeling pretty good. And I’ll be sharing some comic book news soon enough!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Superman #11, Absolute Wonder Woman #11, Amazing Spider-Man #11, Batman #1 and Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League #2.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/30/25
Not a lot going on this week and I didn’t post much. I really need to turn that around. But I tweaked my back yesterday and the pain really stopped any sort of anything from happening. Still read some good comics though, like Superman and Void Rivals.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Martian Manhunter for a wild and crazy first arc finale!
Meanwhile, I binged both the new season of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Long Story Short this past week. Sunny is always a hoot, and Long Story Short — from the creators of my favorite show, BoJack Horseman — lived up to all the hype and hope I had for it! Such a wonderful show! I cannot wait for future seasons!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Martian Manhunter #6, Superman #29, Void Rivals #22 and X-Men #21.

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 – 8/9/25
Welp, here we are. It’s August. We all continue to trudge along in our lives. The only thing we can look forward to is new comics, like Absolute Superman!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Captain America #2 for a proper introduction of my new most anticipated character: Captain America!
Meanwhile, I continue to stretch Death Stranding 2 out as long as I can. I’m sure I could just rush to the finish, but then I don’t know how interested I am in cleaning up in the post-game. We’ll find out. I’ve been watching the second and final season of The Sandman and I dare say it continues to be a solid adaptation. I’m pleased to see that they’re actually ending the TV show like they did the comic. Should be fun.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Superman #10, Captain America #2 and Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League #1.

It’s the week of weeks! Not only did Fantastic Four: First Steps just come out, but we’re also smack dab in the middle of San Diego Comic Con! So much news coming out. So many trailers. And we had a nice week of comics as well, like Absolute Wonder Woman and Superman.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Void Rivals #21 for an excellent, action-packed issue that uses all of its characters very well.
Meanwhile, I loved the new Fantastic Four movie and hope to have my review up on time next week. Greatness all around! And then I continue to plug again at Death Stranding 2. I’m taking my darn time and stretching out the game as far as I can, because there’s nothing else on the horizon. I also started watching Smiling Friends, which was nice, and the new episode of South Park was perfection. So good week all around for pop culture.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Martin Manhunter #5, Absolute Wonder Woman #10, Superman #28 and Void Rivals #21.
