Bat-Fam is Gonna Be Weird as Hell
Bat-Fam is a new Batman cartoon coming to Amazon Prime today. It’s a spin-off of the Merry Little Batman cartoon from a few years ago, which I didn’t watch. It’s about Batman as a dad, with little Damian Wayne as Batboy. It is what it is! And now it gets a whole cartoon with a whole wacky Batman family of characters, like Crazy Uncle Manbat.
Looks crazy. Looks weird as hell. But it also looks perfect? Like, I’m glad Batman cartoons are willing to go in this direction. Get weird with it. Get crazy. Get funny. Whatever you wanna do, go ahead and do it with Bat-Fam. Maybe I will give this one a watch.
Bat-Fam should already be available on Amazon Prime!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/8/24
We’re back with more comic book reviews! I do apologize that these will be more haphazard from me going forward. Sometimes there just aren’t any comics coming out that I really have an opinion on. And sometimes I can be pretty lazy. But this week saw some solid releases, like Batman and The Ultimates.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Scarlett #1 for a clean, enjoyable new chapter in the ongoing Energon Universe.
Meanwhile, I beat God of War: Ragnarok and it was an excellent game! Just as big and fun as the first. I’ve burned through a couple of TV shows. I enjoyed Mr. and Mrs. Smith, didn’t care for the first two episodes of The Acolyte and absolutely adored Hazbin Hotel. That show lives up to all its hype! This weekend is the third and final season of Sweet Tooth, so hopefully that’s fun.
This week also saw the final issue of the Krakoa Era for X-Men, but I checked out awhile ago, so it won’t be reviewed this week. Bring on From the Ashes!
Comic Reviews: Batman #148, The Boy Wonder #2, Scarlett #1 and The Ultimates #1.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/14/23
Comic releases are weird. Last week saw the release of a metric ton of comics I’m reading, so much so that I had to skip a few reviews just so I could fit this column into my busy schedule. But this week, I’ve only got two reviews because not much came out that I’m interested in. If Black Panther and Fantastic Four came out this week, I would have caught up and reviewed them!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Avengers #6, mostly for a backup feature starring a more obscure Marvel superhero, Firebird!
Meanwhile, a week from now, we’ll all be playing Spider-Man 2! Until then, I toil away on a Cyberpunk 2077 replay. Can I beat the game by Friday? Honestly, probably not, but I’ll give it a try. Beyond that, I’m enjoying Loki season 2, Lower Decks season 4 and the second season of Killing It. Have you seen that? Really fun show.
Comic Reviews: Avengers #6 and Batman and Robin #2.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 9/16/23
It’s a week for new or relatively new comics! And that’s always fun. Astonishing Iceman attempts to win our hearts with a second issue, while DC tries to win me over with a Batman and Robin focused team book.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Avengers Inc. #1 for absolutely nailing the tone and premise its going for in its first issue.
Meanwhile, still playing Baldur’s Gate 3, because I’m a slave to that game. I’ll beat it one of these days! Other than that, I really enjoyed the latest issues of Ahsoka, so that’s a quality show. And Star Trek: Lower Decks has started up again, so I’m happy with that. Lots of good content to devour these days, and even more to come in the near future.
Comic Reviews: Astonishing Iceman #2, Avengers Inc. #1 and Batman and Robin #1.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 2/12/22
What a week, people! This might be one of the most joyous weeks in comics I’ve ever had. We got a new Multiple Man Marvel Unlimited comic this week, Strong Guy gets in on the action in Secret X-Men and then we’ve got the mother of all team-ups!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Amazing Spider-Man #88.BEY for bringing together some of my favorite obscure characters for a delightful comic! I’m so glad my obscure favorites aren’t being needlessly murdered for once! Let’s here it for Hornet and the Slingers!
Meanwhile, I’ll have a review up next week on the first season of The Book of Boba Fett. Pretty underwhelming, if you ask me, but otherwise fine. Then the week after, I want to do a review of the first season of Peacemaker, because that show is amazing! Why couldn’t James Gunn have made a Boba Fett TV show? Oh well. In other news, I’m enjoying Pokemon Legends: Arceus just fine.
Comic Reviews: Amazing Spider-Man #88.BEY, Batgirls #3, Mighty Morphin #16, Robins #5 and Secret X-Men #1.
