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.

Howdy

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!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 11/8/25

I don’t know what’s been up with me lately! This is the least I’ve posted in years! There just aren’t any good trailers to share I guess. Oh well. There will always be new comics to read and review! Like Batman and Void Rivals!

Comic Book of the Week goes to Cheetah & Cheshire Rob the Justice League #4 because it remains a consistently great comic!

He’s learning STEM

Meanwhile, I continue to pace my way through Ghost of Yotei. Super fun game. Getting everything I want out of it. Grand Theft Auto 6 has been delayed for an entire year, so that sucks. And I’ve started playing Dispatch, which is super fun! All around good time! By the time you read this, I’ll also have been to the theater to watch Predator: Badlands. Hopefully that’s good too!

Double meanwhile, the Kickstarter is still ongoing for LobStar #1 from Very Big Comics! It’s made by my amateur comic-making pals and could definitely use some love! They’ve already hit the goal and will definitely be making the comic, and now any additional backers will help fund more of the ongoing story! So check it out, if you don’t mind.

Comic Reviews: Absolute Superman #13, Batman #3, Cheetah & Cheshire Rob the Justice League #4, Void Rivals #24, Amazing Spider-Man #15 and DC K.O. Knightfight #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.

Every frame a painting

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.

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.

Wonder Woman shows no mercy

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.

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.

Bow chicka bow wow

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!

Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #13, DC K.O. #1 and Transformers #25.
