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.

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.

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 – 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.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 5/23/26

Happy Memorial Day Weekend to everybody in America! I’m traveling to visit family this weekend and it should be a good time. But before I left, I got in some good comic reading, like Wonder Woman, Spider-Man and even Wolverine!

Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Green Arrow #1 for another excellent launch of a new Absolute Comic!

I’m only just now seeing the pointy chin to represent his classic goatee

Meanwhile, I’m still deep into Crimson Desert and how to extend that game through the whole summer! The dev team keeps coming out with weekly patches that add a whole bunch of free content, and now I’m a little afraid of beating the game and missing out on what they come up with next! So I’m in for the long haul. Beyond that, I highly recommend the TV shows Rooster and The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins; both really fun shows! Haven’t seen The Mandalorian and Grogu yet because I’m getting together with some old pals to check it out next weekend. Should be fun.

Comic Reviews: Absolute Green Arrow #1, Amazing Spider-Man #29, Wonder Woman #33, Batwoman #3 and Wolverine: Weapons of Armageddon #4.
