Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 5/10/25
Do the weeks seem longer to anybody else? I know I’m working a lot, but damn, the weekend seems to take forever. Anyway, new comics, good stuff all around, like X-Men and Spider-Man.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Superman #7 for an awesome new origin for Brainiac.
Meanwhile, The Museum of the Uncanny Kickstarter was a success! So I will have a new short comic story entering the world sometime soon. Hopefully you all ordered your copy and will get to read it! Beyond that, I’m loving Andor, Doctor Who and The Last of Us, obviously, and continue to slowly make my way through Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Fun game.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Green Lantern #2, Absolute Superman #7, Amazing Spider-Man #3 and X-Men #16.

Hench-Sized Comic Reviews – 4/5/25
Oh boy, what a week. This year has really been kicking me down, and I’m not even just talking about the wide world of crumbling society. It’s just been…that kind of week. Anyway, new comics keep coming out, and they main fun enough, like the start of Absolute Green Lantern.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Superman #6 for the absolute best issue so far in this already stellar series! It just keeps getting better!
Meanwhile, I’m still very much enjoying Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, as I always knew I would. Just taking my time living in this game. I watched the first season of Paradise on Hulu and found it merely OK, other than a few standout moments or episodes. And I’m currently really enjoying the first season of The Residence on Netflix, which is a murder mystery set at the White House. Highly recommended.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Green Lantern #1, Absolute Superman #6 and X-Men #14.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 2/15/25
Readers, you would not believe the month I’m having. Jeez louise. I’m only one man! But at least we’ve got good comics still coming out, like Absolute Batman and the new One World Under Doom.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Green Lantern Corps #1 for a nice return to form for the GL stories I enjoy. Give me all the space cops!
Meanwhile, I’ve got to buy a new car. And I did not save up for having to buy a new car, even though I knew I needed to. So I’m buying this thing based on what savings I do have at the moment, so it’s not great! Which means I’ve got to make Dragon Age: Veilguard and Stardew Valley last a bit longer in terms of entertainment. Avowed and Kingdom Come: Deliverance II are going to have to wait!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #5, Green Lantern Corps #1, One World Under Doom #1 and X-Men #11.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 12/7/24
I was on vacation from work this week and mostly spent the time relaxing and enjoying my various hobbies. I caught up on a lot of comics I’ve fallen behind on, and probably could and should have reviewed a lot more this week…
Comic Book of the Week goes to Batman #155 for an issue that’s fit to bursting with engaging storytelling and fantastic artwork!
Meanwhile, I spent the week playing through the discounted DLC from Sniper Elite 5, a game series I very much enjoy. I’m still doing another playthrough on Baldur’s Gate 3, because it’s cheaper than buying a fully priced Dragon Age: The Veilguard, which is what I was tempted to do. And I bought Hades on sale, so that should be fun once I really devout time to it. Beyond that, I built some LEGO and started reading Chip Zdarsky’s Daredevil run. A good, enjoyable week off, I’d say! And I’ve still got a few days left.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Superman #2, Batgirl #2, Batman #155 and X-Men #8.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 11/9/24
Hoo boy. What a god damned week. Thankfully, there were a ton of new and exciting comics this week, to help me deal with the near crippling depression and misanthropy. And if you’re reading this, I’m also probably on my way to the nearest LEGO store to buy the X-Mansion set. So I’m coping.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Superman #1 because it’s another banger. All of these Absolute books have knocked it out of the park!
Meanwhile, uh, I’m mostly holding on by a thread here. I’m playing through Baldur’s Gate 3 again these days. It’s still a fun game, and a lot of patches have come out in the past year to add more to the game that it didn’t have when I played on release. The new season of Arcane has started. The Penguin finale should be awesome. And I’m also collecting all of Chip Zdarsky’s Daredevil run into a big tpb pile to read one of these days. So I’m coping well in my usual ways.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Superman #1, Batgirl #1, Batman #154, The Ultimates #6, X-Factor #4 and X-Men #7.
