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 – 11/18/23
This was a real interesting week for comics. None of my regular titles came out, but there were several comics I had let fall by the wayside. So…I caught up and may return to reviewing the likes of Astonishing Iceman!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Fantastic Four #13 for an excellent dinosaur adventure.
Meanwhile, I’m spending this weekend resisting the urge to buy Super Mario Bros. Wonder. I beat Spider-Man 2 and need a new game to play, but I also have other options besides spending $60 for that sweet new Mario game. It sure would be fun to play, though…
Comic Reviews: Astonishing Iceman #4, Fantastic Four #13 and Outsiders #1.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/5/23
It’s a new dawn! It’s a new day! The Fall of X is here and I actually read a couple of those books, like the new X-Men and Astonishing Iceman. I’m a bit more on board now than I was before.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Scarlet Witch #7 for a really fun, creative, done-in-one story.
Meanwhile, it’s a new world, friends. I have put Tears of the Kingdom behind me and have started Baldur’s Gate 3! Tannenbaum, my half-orc bard, is living the good life. Adventure is his! Let us hope I can make it all the way through this game. Also, I loved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem and I’ll have a review up on Wednesday.
Comic Reviews: Astonishing Iceman #1, Fantastic Four #10, Justice Society of America #5, Scarlet Witch #7 and X-Men #25.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 7/8/23
Not much in the way of comics this week. In fact, there’s gonna be a bit of a comic review drought this whole month, I think. DC is starting some new event that I’m not interested in, and a look at the upcoming release calendar just doesn’t have a lot of my comics on it. Maybe I’ll try some new things. We’ll see.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Fantastic Four #9 for its fun use of Alicia Masters as the fifth Beatle.
Meanwhile, I think I’m nearing the end of Tears of the Kingdom, but I’m stretching it out as much as possible. I’m probably far from the end of Diablo 4, but we’ll see. It’s a good game, though probably not my cup of tea in the long run.
Comic Reviews: Fantastic Four #9 and X-Men #24.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/10/23
Oh man, what a week. It’s not been particularly busy or crazy. There was that whole orange sky over my home in Central New York. But other than that, it’s just been me sitting here reading comics like Batman and Fantastic Four.
Comic Book of the Week goes to X-Men: Before the Fall – Mutant First Strike #1 because of its awesome use of some really neat obscure mutants.
Meanwhile, I’m still playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and hope to be playing for a long time to come. Just heading out into Hyrule, exploring, doing this and that. It’s fun as heck! I watched the first season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, and it was fun. Nothing revolutionary, but fine and enjoyable. And the Ted Lasso series finale was as disappointing as the rest of season 3.
Comic Reviews: Batman #136, Fantastic Four #8, Shazam! #2 and X-Men: Before the Fall – Mutant First Strike #1.
