Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/15/26

I hope these reviews are doing some good for somebody somewhere. I often realize that I only really read the comics I like, which are a fraction of the total comics that come out in a single week. But hey, I like what I like! For example, Fury of Firestorm! And maybe the new Miles Morales: Spider-Man relaunch!

Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Batman #23 for another banger issue that is jam-packed with good stuff!

The human brain weighs eight pounds!

Meanwhile, Dying Light 2 was free on Playstation this month, so I’m gonna play that until Star Wars: Zero Company comes out at the end of the month. Should keep me busy. I watched and loved the finale of season two of X-Men ’97, and will post my full thoughts on the whole season next week. Stay tuned for that. I also watched and enjoyed the second season of Batman: Caped Crusader. May or may not post my thoughts. And I can’t wait for Lanterns tomorrow! Should be fun!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/20/26

Here we go again! More comics! More of our lives wasting away! Another Saturday has arrived and no, I’m not going to see Toy Story 5 in theaters. I just can’t bring myself to worry about that right now, not when I’ve got Amazing Spider-Man and Absolute Green Arrow!

Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Batman #21 because we finally get to see the Absolute Robins in action, and then the whole rest of the issue is neat as well.

Jason do!

Meanwhile, been a busy week for me, so I haven’t had much else going on. Still enjoying the heck out of Crimson Desert. Finally started the second season of The Pitt. And I’ve started reading the Dunk and Egg novellas from George R.R. Martin. Hopefully all these things remain fun and entertaining as they play out.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 5/16/26

This was an oddly rough week and I didn’t get to read all of the comics I wanted. Or I did read them, like Absolute Martian Manhunter, but was too lost in the sauce to do a proper review. So you’re stuck with classic standbys like Iron Man and Fury of Firestorm.

Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Batman #20, because you don’t change an industry without being able to maintain quality at your 20th issue. Plus Robins.

There’s something he wants to tell you

Meanwhile, your boy remains deep in the paint on Crimson Desert. Loving the game. Been playing for weeks and I still feel like I’ve barely sank my teeth into it. Just enjoying the pedantic stuff like building up my camp, taking care of animals, exploring and all the good stuff. I’ve got a long weekend, though, so maybe I’ll try to dive in deeper. Beyond that, I really enjoyed The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins and Rooster!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 4/19/26

Comics! You love’em. I love’em. What’s not to love? Especially when we’ve got some solid bangers like Wonder Woman and Batwoman to celebrate this week.

Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Batman #19 for a pretty much perfect comic, kicking off the big new storyline with style and pizzazz.

The B-Files

Meanwhile, the Museum of the Uncanny Kickstarter campaign is in its final week! They’ve got a ways to go to hit their goal, but I know they can do it and I know you lovely readers will check out the campaign and give some support to some indie comic creators! That’s what we’re all about!

Double meanwhile, I splurged and bought myself Crimson Desert and I’m definitely enjoying the game. I still feel like I’m taking it slow, considering everything I’m seeing online. But it’s a fun action RPG with a big open world to explore! Beyond that, I’m enjoying Daredevil: Born Again, enjoying Maul: Shadow Lord and the season 3 finale of Shrinking was wonderful.
