Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 11/9/24

Hoo boy. What a god damned week. Thankfully, there were a ton of new and exciting comics this week, to help me deal with the near crippling depression and misanthropy. And if you’re reading this, I’m also probably on my way to the nearest LEGO store to buy the X-Mansion set. So I’m coping.

Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Superman #1 because it’s another banger. All of these Absolute books have knocked it out of the park!

Somebody save me

Meanwhile, uh, I’m mostly holding on by a thread here. I’m playing through Baldur’s Gate 3 again these days. It’s still a fun game, and a lot of patches have come out in the past year to add more to the game that it didn’t have when I played on release. The new season of Arcane has started. The Penguin finale should be awesome. And I’m also collecting all of Chip Zdarsky’s Daredevil run into a big tpb pile to read one of these days. So I’m coping well in my usual ways.

Comic Reviews: Absolute Superman #1, Batgirl #1, Batman #154, The Ultimates #6, X-Factor #4 and X-Men #7.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/12/24

This is a big week for comics! It’s the launch of DC’s new Absolute Universe line of books! Do they live up to the hype? You’ll have to read on and see!

Comic Book of the Week is Absolute Batman #1, because yeah, it totally lives up to the hype, for the most part.

Behold his new weapons!

Meanwhile, a bunch of good comics came out this week, but a lot of them were mid storyline or I haven’t been reviewing them regularly, so I didn’t add them to this already sparse list. Ah well. Beyond that, I’m still very much enjoying The Penguin and Agatha All Along, and have finally started watching the second season of The Rings of Power. So I’d say I’m in a good place. May finally try to beat Star Wars: Outlaws this weekend.

Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #1 and Exceptional X-Men #2.
