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 – 11/29/25
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.
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!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #14, Absolute Wonder Woman #14 and Infernal Hulk #1.

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.
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.
Comic Review: Absolute Wonder Woman #13.

Hench-Sized Comic Reviews – 9/27/25
Comic reviews might have to take a back seat to life coming up next month. I’ve got a big project at work that is going to keep me busy around the clock! But we’ll see what I can get done. Until then, we’ve got a big, fun pile of comics this week, including Wonder Woman and X-Men!
Comic of the Week goes to Absolute Wonder Woman #12 for an absolutely perfect issue of this series. Kelly Thompson and her creative team are making this look easy.
Meanwhile, I watched the finale for Alien Earth this week and am mostly just whelmed. I’ve never been a big Alien franchise guy, but I liked the show well enough. Nothing special. I did really enjoy Haunted Hotel on Netflix, a new cartoon with 10 easy breezy episodes to get through if you’re into that sort of thing. And then my progress in Silksong has stalled because I can’t get past a couple of very early mini-bosses. I’m trying my best, gosh darnit! Fortunately, reviews for Ghost of Yokei are positively glowing, so perhaps I’ll grab that next week.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Wonder Woman #12, Black Cat #2, Void Rivals #23, Wonder Woman #25 and X-Men #22.

Hench-Sized Comic Reviews – 9/6/25
Happy Birthday to me! Enough years have passed that my birthday once again falls on a Saturday, so I get to share some comic reviews for my birthday! And what a darn good week for comics, like Absolute Superman and Absolute Wonder Woman! Honestly, I’ve been reading way more DC books than Marvel these days…
Comic Book of the Week goes to Batman #1 because it’s a very strong start for the Matt Fraction run of the Caped Crusader.
Meanwhile, not doing anything special for my birthday because that’s what happens when you’re in your 40s. I bought myself a new computer, and that’s running nicely. And I splurged on some graphic novels and action figures. So feeling pretty good. And I’ll be sharing some comic book news soon enough!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Superman #11, Absolute Wonder Woman #11, Amazing Spider-Man #11, Batman #1 and Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League #2.
