Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 9/13/25

I don’t normally post comic reviews from two weeks at a time, but work got really busy at the end of last week and I just didn’t get around to posting the reviews I prepared. So I’ve added a couple reviews to this week’s regular releases, like Absolute Batman and Captain America.

Comic Book of the Week goes to the Batman/Deadpool crossover because I love me a good Marvel/DC crossover project!

I really do think this was a good choice of crossover pair

Meanwhile, I mostly spent the past week replaying some old PC games now that I’ve got a new computer with a fancy new graphics card! It’s been alright. In better news, work has begun on volume 3 of my own comic, Gamer Girl & Vixen! We’re gonna take a big swing with this new threequel and are very excited to make it happen. I love when the creative juices are flowing and I’m writing up a storm with ideas!

Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #12, Amazing Spider-Man #12, Captain America #3 and Deadpool/Batman #1.

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.

Like…on the phone?

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.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 5/24/25

To my regular readers, sorry I didn’t post much this week. As I think I’ve mentioned before, life has just gotten really busy for some reason. I dunno. Anyway, some solid comics came out this week so I figured I’d review a bunch of them, like Absolute Flash and Amazing Spider-Man.

Comic Book of the Week goes to Wonder Woman #21 because this series remains an absolute banger.

Foolish mortals

Meanwhile, I’m still making my way slowly through Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, which is quite fun. With no Grand Theft Auto VI later this year, I need to stretch out my gaming so I’m not spending too much money. And I can really take my time with this one. My parents have also given me their old TV (we siblings bought them a big, new one for Christmas!), so now I’m playing games on a big TV instead of my computer monitor, which I’ve been doing for years. We’ll see if I like the change.

Comic Reviews: Absolute Flash #3, Amazing Spider-Man #4, Exceptional X-Men #9 and Wonder Woman #21.

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.
