We Now Have the Details on the New G.I.Joe Comic

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!

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

What am I supposed to do when all of my favorite comics come out in the same week?! I’m trying to give myself less work to do, but now we’ve got Power Rangers, Nightwing and Wonder Woman coming out in the same darn week!

Comic Book of the Week goes to Void Rivals #9 for an excellent crossover with Transformers.

Meanwhile, I’m still working my way through God of War: Ragnarok. I love these games and make sure to 100% as much as I can, just because the game is fun to play and the rewards are fun to collect. I’m just ahead of the endgame now, so it won’t be much longer. Beyond that, I started to read The Nice House on the Lake by James Tynion IV and Alvaro Martinez, and it’s great! I got Vol. 1 for Christmas, finally read it and immediately ordered Vol. 2. Really good comic!

Comic Reviews: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #20, Nightwing #114, Void Rivals #9 and Wonder Woman #9.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 4/27/24

Jeez! I’m sorry this is so late! I had to work this morning. Otherwise we’re back with more comic book reviews! Just like last week, a bunch of my favorite comics came out this week and I didn’t want to leave my reviews of them in the dust. So I read some good comics and I’m prepared to talk about some good comics, like the end of Duke and some more Ultimate Spider-Man.

Comic Book of the Week goes to Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #119 for getting the Darkest Hour train back on the tracks, just in time to announce the end of the series.

That caption has multiple meanings

Meanwhile, I finally started playing God of War: Ragnarok after getting it for free with my Playstation 5 several years ago. It’s pretty much exactly what I expected, and that’s pretty nice. Beyond that, I also finally built the Optimus Prime LEGO set I bought several years ago. That was super fun as well.

Comic Reviews: Duke #5, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #119, and Ultimate Spider-Man #4.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 4/13/24

My readership numbers have been going down lately. Is anybody actually reading and enjoying these reviews? I know I don’t have any particularly interesting insights, but I do enjoy talking about comics. Including ThunderCats and Transformers!

Comic Book of the Week is Action Comics #1064, kicking off an awesome new Superman story that was teased some time ago.

Meanwhile, I’m still recovering from Episode 5 of X-Men ’97. Holy heck this show is good! And i’ve started watching Fallout, which is awesome. We’re feasting good these days! In the video game world, a friend of mine got me onto Evil Genius 2, which is a fun base-builder. It’s a nice game to lose a couple hours to.

Comic Reviews: Action Comics #1064, ThunderCats #3 and Transformers #7.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 4/6/24

It’s April already. Life moves forward unceasingly. We are merely caught up in its wake. But at least we can always count on new comics, like Batman and She-Hulk!

Comic Book of the Week goes to Birds of Prey #8 for another delightful team book issue.

I need the clicks!

Meanwhile, I’ve started playing Evil Genius 2 on the PC, a charming base-builder. It’s got a fun aesthetic, and I do love a good real time strategy-style game like this. Easy to get addicted to as I play along and balance all the things to balance. I’m having fun. And on Monday, I will be in the totality zone of this solar eclipse! So that should be fun!

Comic Reviews: Batman #146, Birds of Prey #8, Sensational She-Hulk #7 and Void Rivals #8.
