Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/3/26

Buy my book! Buy my book! Nothing like a good reference to the 30-year-old TV show The Critic to kick off a bout of comic book reviews, eh? But seriously, go check out the Kickstarter for my new comic, Cover Bard #1! We’re almost at our goal and you could be the awesome person that gets us over the top! Imagine how much fun that will feel?

Comic Book of the Week goes to Amazing Spider-Man #1,000 for hitting such a nice milestone, and for also being a swell comic.

A wild transformation for Aunt May

Meanwhile, I’m going to wrap up the Wolverine game this weekend. Solid play. I may or may not do a review. I’ll definitely have a review up next week on my thoughts on the first season of Lanterns! Loving the show! Can’t wait for the finale! Beyond that, I’m watching the latest season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and reading Harley & Ivy: Life & Crimes by Erica Henderson. Both quite fun so far. I love Henderson’s artwork.

Comic Reviews: Amazing Spider-Man #1000, Bizarro: Year None #3 and Uncanny X-Men #36.

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.

She is so completely all out of bubblegum

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.

Comic Reviews: Absolute Catwoman #3, Absolute Wonder Woman #23, Amazing Spider-Man #999, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #3 and Next Level – One Shot #1.

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!

It’s not lookin’ good, Jimbo

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.

Comic Reviews: Absolute Superman #21, Absolute Wonder Woman #22 and Amazing Spider-Man #33.

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.

Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #21, Absolute Green Arrow #2 and Amazing Spider-Man #31.

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

Welcome back to comic book review land! Just little old me reading comics and cranking out reviews because it’s what I like to do. I like reading and talking about good comics, like Batman and Amazing Spider-Man.

Comic Book of the Week goes to The Deadman #1 for a solid, entertaining start to this potentially wild new series.

Jump scare!

Meanwhile, I really enjoyed Spider-Noir. It was a nifty series that accomplished everything it set out to do, I would say! And I made it to the theater to see The Masters of the Universe this week and I had a blast! Very fun film. Still haven’t seen The Mandalorian and Grogu, so fingers crossed my plans work this weekend. Oh! I did see The Sheep Detectives and that was also fun. Good, quality little flick. Seeing lots of movies, it seems.

Comic Reviews: Amazing Spider-Man #30, Batman #10, The Deadman #1 and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #1.
