Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/29/26
This was both a weird and good week for me. I had some trouble sleeping, which sucked. But this was also the week of the Grand Theft Auto VI: Extended Look, and that can raise any week back up! As can good comics, like Amazing Spider-Man!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Wonder Woman #23 for a powerhouse performance by our beloved Amazon warrior woman.
Meanwhile, like I said, I had some fun this week. Grand Theft Auto VI looks amazing! Can’t wait! I also started up Star Wars: Zero Company last night and it’s fun so far! I’ve got a 3-day weekend and I’m going to enjoy the heck out of this new game. I also went and saw Coyote vs. Acme and it was a hoot and a half! Lovely, super fun film. Glad we all got the chance to see it.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 7/25/26
Welcome back to another week of comics! I keep realizing that there are a bunch of comics that I enjoyed at one point that I lost track of for one reason or another. I had planned to get caught back up with Void Rivals this week…but it didn’t happen. My bad. Good thing I’m still all-in on the Absolute comics! Or most of them.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Superman #21 for a truly spectacular bout of fisticuffs!
Meanwhile, I went and saw The Odyssey earlier this week and loved it! Such a big, bold, awesome and beautiful movie. I wasn’t as captivated the whole way through like I was with Oppenheimer, but it definitely came together in a very strong and emotional third act. Beyond that, I’m finally winding down on Crimson Desert. Great game. I’m currently finishing up the second season of Monarch, which is fine. And I’m all caught up on Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/27/26
I was pretty busy this week covering a pretty cool attempted murder trial for my day job as a mild mannered newspaper reporter, so I didn’t read too many comics. Really just grabbed the ones I was most interested in from DC this week, because they continue to be amazing — comics like Absolute Wonder Woman and Bizarro: Year None.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Superman #20 for not only a fun Hawkman spotlight but also just a damn cool superhero fight comic!
Meanwhile, no change in my love of Crimson Desert, so not much to report on the video game front. If you’re curious where I fall on the GTA6 controversies, know that I will definitely be pre-ordering the $100 Ultimate Edition as soon as I pay off some bills and have $100 scrounged up. I fully expect this game to be monumental and definitely don’t mind paying extra to get some bonus cosmetics. Beyond that, I enjoyed the second season of The Pitt and hope to watch Widow’s Bay soon. Oh! And I’ll be seeing Supergirl this weekend.
Comic Rating: Absolute Superman #20, Absolute Wonder Woman #21 and Bizarro: Year None #2.

Not a lot of reviews this week, I’m afraid. I got tied up with some things. Going away this weekend. Yadda yadda yadda. I just wanted to knock out this Absolute Wonder Woman review because it’s the final chapter of a really great story.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Wonder Woman #20 for a nice finish to the story. Not great, but still good.
Meanwhile, I’m still very much enjoying Crimson Desert. I’m trying to stretch this game out all summer if I can, so expect to hear about it in each of these meanwhiles…or maybe I should stop. We’ll see. I started up Spider-Noir the other night and it’s great so far! It’s a ton of fun! And I’m going away this weekend to finally see The Mandalorian and Grogu. I have high hopes.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Wonder Woman #20.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 4/25/26
Big to medium week in comics this week, folks! Frankly, any week with a new Absolute Wonder Woman is a big week, but we’ve also got the new Spider-Man/Superman crossover from Marvel! The last crossover of this big celebration period!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Wonder Woman #19, though, for a pretty much perfect comic. This one is on fire as Absolute Batman.
Meanwhile, I still feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface of Crimson Desert. I splurged on the game because I knew it was a big, open world RPG and that’s exactly what I’m getting! But it’s almost too big! I spend a lot of time seeking treasure and new outfits, while progressing story and side quests at a nice pace. Quality game; glad I bought it, hopefully it’ll sustain me all the way until Wolverine in September.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Wonder Woman #19, Captain America #9 and Spider-Man/Superman #1.
