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.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 7/26/25
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.

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 Book Reviews – 6/28/25
Sometimes a week will come along where all the comics I read are in the middle of stories and just put out issues where the story is moved along. Nothing wrong with that. Especially when the ongoing stories are as good as they are in the likes of Absolute Wonder Woman and/or Void Rivals.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Martin Manhunter #4 because, while it continues to tell an entertaining story, the artwork this issue goes even harder than it’s been going so far!
Meanwhile, I watched and enjoyed the first three episodes of Ironheart. Off to a good start. I’ve also really gotten into Taskmaster lately. It’s all free on YouTube, which is convenient. And last night I finally started playing Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. Great game so far!
Also, all three new Gamer Girl & Vixen mini-comics have been added to Global Comix for you to read and enjoy for free! Just click the link and scroll down for the three new comics, with scripts written by me! It’s only fair I put my own comic work out there if I’m gonna review others!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Martian Manhunter #4, Absolute Wonder Woman #9, Ultimate Spider-Man #18, Void Rivals #20 and VR Troopers #1.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/21/25
Greetings and salutations, comic lovers! I’m back with another couple of reviews. I can only hope people are actually reading. And speaking of reading comics, check out some of the new Gamer Girl & Vixen mini-comics at Global Comix, written by me, with a variety of artists! We’re adding three new comics for Pride Month!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Flash #4 for a nice little issue that moves the story along. Getting real Ultimate Spider-Man (original) vibes.
Meanwhile, I was on vacation this week and did a ton of relaxing at home. I finished Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and very much enjoyed that game. Started playing Balatro and it’s as fun as everybody said last year. Finished 20th Century men and it was fine. Read Mark Russell’s Superman: Space Age and it was fine. Watched the final season of The Umbrella Academy and it was, you guessed it, fine.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Flash #4, G.I. Joe #8 and X-Men #18.
