Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/13/26
We’re here, we’re reading comics, it’s been an OK week of life. So OK that we’ve got a pretty OK pile of comics to have been read and now reviewed, like the brand new Absolute Catwoman and the brand new Avengers: Armageddon.
Comic Book of the Week goes to The Fury of Firestorm #3 for an exciting retelling of the character’s new origin story.
Meanwhile, still enjoying Crimson Desert and will be for a while. Don’t you worry about that. I went to the theater and finally saw The Mandalorian and Grogu and I enjoyed it. Just a fun Mando and Grogu adventure. And I finally stayed home and saw Mortal Kombat II. Wasn’t thrilled at first but it won me over in the end.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Catwoman #1, Avengers: Armageddon #1, Daredevil #3 and The Fury of Firestorm #3.

We do now live in a world where the Daredevil show on Netflix was fully revived into a new show that’s just as good. The world is not such a dark and horrible place…no wait, it definitely still is. But we can now cling to our little pop culture shows and movies had games to find some joy to be had in all the darkness — and finding joy in darkness is maybe one of the themes of Daredevil: Born Again? I dunno.
TV Show Rating: 9/10 – Great
So yeah, season two of Daredevil: Born Again has arrived only a year after the first season, which is a miracle in this day and age. And they’re already working on season three. I watched the episodes week-by-week because I wanted to be part of the zeitgeist, and now I’m doing my roundup review. Am I late to the party? Probably. But I’m not famous enough to get screeners in advance. It’s just little old me, plugging away on this blog still.
Regardless, join me after the jump for my review and thoughts on the second season of Daredevil: Born Again! Expect FULL SPOILERS for the whole season. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 5/9/26
What a banger week it’s been! Great TV shows have come to an end, great, uh, other things are probably happening somewhere, and we got some damn good comics to enjoy, like Absolute Superman and Daredevil.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Batman #9 because it’s an exciting issue with good energy, nudging it just a little bit above the second issue of a so-far excellent Daredevil series.
Meanwhile, I very much enjoyed the season finales of both Maul: Shadow Lord and Daredevil: Born Again. Great shows that were super fun to watch! I’m going to try to put together some List of Six thoughts/reviews for both over the coming week or so. We’ll see how that goes. Beyond that, I’m deep in the paint on Crimson Desert. It’s exactly my sort of open world game with lots of pedantic little things to do throughout the game world. Super fun! And I’m still deciding whether or not to see Mortal Kombat II in theaters. I really don’t have any interest…but it’s Mortal Kombat II…but it’s not that Street Fighter movie, which has me actively excited. I dunno. It should be in theaters for a while, so I’ve got time to decide.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Superman #19, Batman #9 and Daredevil #2.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 4/4/26
I’m back with more comic book reviews! I missed last week because I was busy and sick, and I missed the Superman/Spider-Man team-up! The shame is immense. But thankfully we’ve got some real bangers this week, like some new Absolute Superman and a new Daredevil run!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Bizarro: Year None #1 for some truly fantastic artwork!
Meanwhile, my pals at Very Big Comics have a Kickstarter running for the second volume of the Museum of the Uncanny anthology! These are great creators putting in the good work in the amateur comic trenches, just like me. I had a short story in the first volume! So if you’re a fan of my reviews, please head over and check out Museum of the Uncanny: The Lost Archives and consider backing the project and ordering a copy! Thank you so much!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Superman #18, Batman #8, Bizarro: Year None #1 and Daredevil #1.

To perhaps celebrate the entire first season of Wonder Man arriving on Disney+, we also got the first ever trailer for the second season of Daredevil: Born Again. I enjoyed the first season, I enjoyed the Netflix seasons, and I can’t wait for this new season!
Looks good to me. Action, adventure, romance, fun music cues, the return of Jessica Jones; this season will have everything! And this season will be especially good because it’s made by the second creative team. The first season was apparently notoriously bad, and they brought in a second creative team halfway through to try to rebuild what was already filmed and add new material. Now the second season will be made completely by this second creative team. That should be a good sign.
Daredevil: Born Again returns to Disney+ on March 24.
