Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 11/16/24
It was another big week for comics this week! We get out first taste at a second issue of one of the new Absolute comics, and there were a pair of big first issues, like the much-anticipated G.I. Joe from the Energon Universe.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Power Rangers Prime #1 for the better of the two launch issues, at least in my opinion.
Meanwhile, life continues as well as can be expected. The Penguin finale was great. Star Trek: Lower Decks is halfway through its final season. Arcane’s second chapter comes out today, so I’m excited about that. And I’m in the process of wrapping up two Baldur’s Gate 3 campaigns. I’m thinking of switching to Dragon Age: The Veilguard next.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #2, G.I. Joe #1 and Power Rangers Prime #1.

Happy Comic-Con Week, everybody! So much going on! So much news! DC All In! Some other stuff. I’m sure it’s a lot. Thankfully, we’ve got good comics to enjoy like Power Rangers and Void Rivals.
Comic Book of the Week goes to NYX #1 for a truly unique energy and premise to this new X-Men comic, at least in the current climate of things.
Meanwhile, I saw Deadpool & Wolverine Thursday night and it was fun. I don’t think it’s as strong as the first two Deadpool movies because it was more focused on cameos and Easter Eggs than having a rock solid story, but such was the choice. I’ll probably have my full thoughts and review up by Wednesday!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 7/13/24
Another busy week at work had me just posting a bunch of trailers this week. Work can be a real bitch sometimes, ya know? But I didn’t want to miss out on the good comics this week, like Transformers and The Ultimates.
Comic Book of the Week goes to X-Men #1 for a solid, enjoyable start to the new From the Ashes relaunch. I hope it all goes well!
Meanwhile, I did read the Absolute Power stuff from DC last week, I just didn’t get around to reviewing it because of the week I had. I enjoyed it well enough, though the first issue and tie-ins haven’t pulled me out of my general malaise towards Big Events. I’ll probably stick with it for the time being.
Comic Reviews: Transformers #10, The Ultimates #2 and X-Men #1.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/29/24
I’m back with more reviews this week! Some of my favorite comics came out and I decided to write about them on this here blog thing. Comics like Power Rangers and Superman!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Void Rivals #10 for some reveals that were legitimately surprising and interesting, tying this series to the Energon Universe at long last.
Meanwhile, I keep buying graphic novels and then just adding them to my pile of GNs to read. I really need to read some of them and talk about them in this space. I should be making recommendations of random graphic novels I enjoy! That would definitely be a better use of my time.
Comic Reviews: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #121, Superman #15 and Void Rivals #10.

I’ve been reading as many of the new Energon Universe comics as I can, because I liked the idea, I loved the creators, and I’m always open to new things to read. I’ve enjoyed them pretty much across the board. So I’m excited to see everything finally coming together into the new G.I.Joe comic, announced yesterday.
G.I.Joe will be written by Joshua Williamson, with art by Tom Reilly and Jordie Bellaire! It comes out in November!
I am fully on board! Williamson has been on fire for me lately, and I enjoyed all the set up he put into the Duke mini-series. I loved the first issue of Scarlett. Cobra Commander was solid. I haven’t read Destro yet. But Transformers is great, and Void Rivals is awesome. So I can’t wait to see them start bringing so much of it together for G.I.Joe.
No sign of Snake Eyes yet, the best Joe. I’m confident they’re saving him for something good!
