Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 3/23/24

I swear to god, you guys, if this cold lasts any bit longer I’m going to start smashing stuff! I’ve had a whole week of this thing just rooting itself in my sinuses for a wee bit of a pressure headache! Argh! Anyway, new comics still came out this week.

Comic Book of the Week goes to Superman #12 for a truly excellent climax to its ongoing story so far. Fun stuff all around!

Accept the praise

Meanwhile, I watched the first two episodes of X-Men ’97 and they were exceptional! I had high hopes going in, and was blown away by the style, depth, faithfulness and just all around quality job from everyone involved. They took the concept and really used it to its fullest, even if a couple characters don’t sound all that great. I think they should have recast everybody. But maybe that’s just me.

Comic Reviews: Cobra Commander #3, Nightwing #112, Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver #2 and Superman #12.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 3/9/24

I don’t know what’s happened, but work has been really busy lately. Your favorite blogger is being run ragged! But I made it through another week and am taking this week to really relax. Thankfully, I got to enjoy some nice comics this week, like Batman and Void Rivals.

Comic Book of the Week goes to Birds of Prey #7 for a confident and fun kick off to their next story.

It’s over, Anakin

Meanwhile, it’s the final few days to pre-order Gamer Girl & Vixen vol. 2: Tyrant Lizard Queen! Pop on over to the Kickstarter and order your copy today! I’m making comics! Beyond that, I’m looking to finally finish off Super Mario Bros. Wonder this weekend, and will be trying the free Mortal Kombat 1 play demo as well.

Comic Reviews: Batman #145, Birds of Prey #7, Sensational She-Hulk #6, Ultimate X-Men #1 and Void Rivals #7.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 1/6/24

Happy New Year, everybody! It’s 2024 and all is still pretty crappy with the world. It’s hopefully going to be a good year for me in terms of making comics. I’ve got some fun announcements coming up in that regard! But for now, let’s deal with normal comics, like Batman, Fantastic Four and the start of the Fall of the House of X.

Comic Book of the Week goes to Birds of Prey #5 for another fun story chapter, even if the change in art is very, very jarring.

What did the five fingers say to the face?

Meanwhile, I’m still meandering my way through Project Zomboid, which taps into my love of pedantry in video games. I just finished off the new season of Rick and Morty, and that was a hoot! And this weekend I’m binging Carol and the End of the World on Netflix. I’ve got high hopes for this show.

Comic Reviews: Batman #141, Birds of Prey #5, Captain America #5, Fall of the House of X #1 and Fantastic Four #15.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 12/9/23

Only a few more weeks until Christmas! That doesn’t particularly mean much in the grand scheme of things, but it definitely works to open up this comic review article. We’ve also got new issues of the likes of Batman and Transformers to enjoy.

Comic Book of the Week goes to Birds of Prey #4 for an action and character-focused issue that really kicks things up a notch.

Meanwhile, I’m almost done with Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, but mostly that game was all about building my own lightsaber. I think I should share my endgame creation! I’m also finally working my way through the fourth season of Harley Quinn. It’s not as strong a show as it was at the beginning, but it’s still enjoyable.

Comic Reviews: Batman #140, Birds of Prey #4, Fantastic Four #14, Thunderbolts #1, Transformers #3 and X-Men #29.

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

I’m in a very easy going mood this week when it comes to comics. Had a lot of really enjoyable readsthis week. Nothing really blew my mind, but they were fun reads nonetheless, like new issues of Batman and G.O.D.S.

Comic Book of the Week goes to Transformers #2 because it was a solid issue, though I think all of the comics I read this week were equally good reads. It was a bit of a coin flip this week.

I’ll say, just look at that butt

Meanwhile, I beat Spider-Man 2 and very much enjoyed the game. The only real detraction I have is that it felt short and light. I probably could have beat it much faster than I did. I think these games should come out more frequently, just by reusing the map and character elements already created. Beyond that, I saw The Marvels opening night and very much enjoyed the film. To hell with the haters! Come back on Wednesday for my thoughts and full review on The Marvels.

Comic Reviews: Batman #139, Birds of Prey #3, G.O.D.S. #2 and Transformers #2.
