Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 3/7/26
What a week, what a week! I was off from work this week and mostly spent my time lounging around not doing much of anything. Good times. I got caught up on a couple of comic series that I’d abandoned a while ago. So that was nice. And we’ve got review for those comics, like Absolute Flash and X-Men.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Batman #7 for doing something new and potentially interesting with the Joker.
Meanwhile, I hurt my thumb somehow so I couldn’t play anything video games with a thumb stick this week. Instead, I built some LEGO and started watching the final seasons of My Hero Academia. Let’s hope the show ends well. I also watched Strip Law on Netflix and it was good. I like watching these random adult animated shows on Netflix, and this one was particularly weird and wacky in all the ways I like.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Flash #12, Absolute Superman #17, Batman #7 and X-Men #26.

Tomorrow is the Super Bowl and I don’t care. I haven’t watched a Super Bowl in years…probably because I’m not invited to any Super Bowl parties. I should look into that and be more social. But instead, I’m just gonna read comics! Like a new Batman with major developments for my favorite Robin!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Superman #16 for an absolutely stellar use of Hawkman. Also, whether you like it or not, I’m going to continue to use “absolutely” when describing anything in the Absolute Universe.
Meanwhile, I’m finally catching up on Picard, which has been an OK watch so far. The Fallout season two finale was solid, but I think I agree with others that this season wasn’t as electrifying as the first. Perhaps the creators have simply settled into the idea that they’ll get multiple seasons to tell their story. I suppose that’s fine. And I’ve moved on to the DLC for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. Money is a little tight at the moment and I won’t be splurging on any new video games anytime soon. Gonna have to stretch out this Avatar game as long as I can, then perhaps rely on some of Playstation’s free monthly games. Gotta save up for this fall, when we get Fable, Wolverine and Grand Theft Auto VI back-to-back.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Superman #16 and Batman #6.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 1/10/26
It’s a new week. There are new comics. I’ve got a dentist appointment so I’m kinda rushing through this week. It’s only DC comics! Like Absolute Superman and Batman!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League for a wonderful final issue of this wonderful little mini-series.
Meanwhile, I’m playing my way through Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora because it was on sale and I’m enjoying it very much. I like a big open world game. Haven’t seen the third movie yet, but I hope to catch a showing before it leaves theaters. I watched the second season of Fionna and Cake and loved that. And then I’ll need to find something else to watch.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Superman #15, Batman #5, Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League #6 and Absolute Batman: Ark M Special.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 1/3/26
Welcome to the world of tomorrow! It’s 2026 and we’re all struggling along. My town was hit with three snowstorms back-to-back-to-back in one week, so I’m having a doozy of a time. Thankfully I can work from home. And since there weren’t any major comic releases I was interested in this week, I’ve gone back to review all the major comics that came out the week of Christmas! That should be fun.
Comic Book of the Last Week goes to Absolute Wonder Woman #15 because the team-up between Wonder Woman and Batman was as good as we all hoped it would be.
Meanwhile, I very much enjoyed the Stranger Things series finale. It got pretty wild and pretty big, but came together nicely in the end. Beyond that, I’m finally finishing off Squid Games. On the video game side of things, I’ve started Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora after getting it on sale. Should hopefully sustain me for a couple of months, because I enjoy a big Ubisoft open world.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Superman #14, Absolute Martian Manhunter #7, Absolute Wonder Woman #15, Power Rangers Prime #13 and Void Rivals #25.

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!
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.
