Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 5/10/25

Do the weeks seem longer to anybody else? I know I’m working a lot, but damn, the weekend seems to take forever. Anyway, new comics, good stuff all around, like X-Men and Spider-Man.

Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Superman #7 for an awesome new origin for Brainiac.

Verklempt

Meanwhile, The Museum of the Uncanny Kickstarter was a success! So I will have a new short comic story entering the world sometime soon. Hopefully you all ordered your copy and will get to read it! Beyond that, I’m loving Andor, Doctor Who and The Last of Us, obviously, and continue to slowly make my way through Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Fun game.

Comic Reviews: Absolute Green Lantern #2, Absolute Superman #7, Amazing Spider-Man #3 and X-Men #16.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 4/26/25

Another week has come and gone and another batch of comics is upon us. A ton of books I’m reading came out this week, and somehow I found the time to review a whole bunch of them, including Absolute Martian Manhunter, Batman: Hush 2 and Amazing Spider-Man.

Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Wonder Woman, which shouldn’t be a surprise, because few things can touch this comic other than the regular Wonder Woman book and the other main Absolutes.

It’s an arena arc

Meanwhile, I finished The Pitt last night and it definitely lived up to all the hype its been getting! Excellent medical drama. And I’m winding down on Kingdom Come: Deliverance II and am in need of another game. Possibly that Elder Scrolls: Oblivion remaster…

Double meanwhile, the Kickstarter campaign remains ongoing for The Museum of the Uncanny anthology! I’ve got a short comic story in the book and we’re doing well as we head into the final weeks of the campaign! Force me to put my money where my mouth is! I spend all this time reviewing comics, come and read one I’ve written myself!

Comic Reviews: Absolute Martian Manhunter #2, Absolute Wonder Woman #7, Amazing Spider-Man #2, Batman #159, G.I. Joe #6 and X-Men #15.

Hench-Sized Comic Reviews – 4/12/25

I don’t know about you, but weeks have started to feel very long these days. Thankfully, this week still managed to come to an end, so we’ve got that going for us. Solid week for comics, though I didn’t read too many. At least we’ve got new Absolute Batman, eh?

Comic Book of the Week goes to Amazing Spider-Man #1 for a solid, enjoyable relaunch of the main Spider-Man series, which I am again willing to check out.

We should all be grateful they didn’t change comic Rhino to match either movie Rhino

Meanwhile, I’ve got a short comic story in a new anthology that’s on Kickstarter right now! Museum of the Uncanny is a collection of short stories about weird and quirky artifacts, and my story is called “The Normal Quesadilla Maker That Definitely Can’t Talk.” So if you enjoy reading my comic reviews, I invite you to check out the Kickstarter and perhaps support my comic writing as well! You can also order physical copies of both Gamer Girl & Vixen books as add-ons in this campaign.

Also, I watched the fifth season of the Harley Quinn cartoon and am super pleased to say that it is back on form! Really entertaining season that felt like the early seasons again.

Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #7 and Amazing Spider-Man #1.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 2/25/23

It’s another week of jam-packed comic books! A lot of good ones! A lot of new announcements! It’s always fun having something to read. I need to get back into reading my big stack of tpbs. Sometimes I think I just like buying shiny things on Amazon. Anyway, this week features such fun comics as Amazing Spider-Man, Nightwing and Saga!

Comic Book of the Week goes to Superman #1 for a perfect relaunch first issue. This is one god damned gorgeous comic book, people.

Jamal Campbell should draw everything

Meanwhile, I enjoyed Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, though I can see why critics didn’t enjoy it. Hopefully it doesn’t go down as Marvel’s first flop. All that really matters is that I had fun. And I hope to have fun at Cocaine Bear this weekend. Should be a blast!

Comic Reviews: Amazing Spider-Man #20, Nightwing #101, Saga #62, Strange Academy: Finals #4, and Superman #1.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 2/11/23

The time has come for more comic book reviews. Do you look forward to these reviews every week? I know you do! Should I have them up on Thursdays instead? Get off my back! We’ve got new Batman and the return of Static!

Comic Book of the Week goes to Amazing Spider-Man #19 for a fun tale about Spidey and the Black Cat. I’ve always liked them as a couple.

A side of Peter Parker you’ve never seen before!

Meanwhile, I am having a ton of fun with Marvel’s Midnight Suns. Once I got into the groove of the game, it’s become a real blast! I fully expect to max out all the characters just because I can and the end will be more fun that way. I’m also super eager to see Ant-Man & the Wasp: Quantumania next week!

Comic Reviews: Amazing Spider-Man #19, Batman #132 and Static: Shadows of Dakota #1.
