Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/21/25
Greetings and salutations, comic lovers! I’m back with another couple of reviews. I can only hope people are actually reading. And speaking of reading comics, check out some of the new Gamer Girl & Vixen mini-comics at Global Comix, written by me, with a variety of artists! We’re adding three new comics for Pride Month!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Flash #4 for a nice little issue that moves the story along. Getting real Ultimate Spider-Man (original) vibes.
Meanwhile, I was on vacation this week and did a ton of relaxing at home. I finished Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and very much enjoyed that game. Started playing Balatro and it’s as fun as everybody said last year. Finished 20th Century men and it was fine. Read Mark Russell’s Superman: Space Age and it was fine. Watched the final season of The Umbrella Academy and it was, you guessed it, fine.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Flash #4, G.I. Joe #8 and X-Men #18.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 12/21/24
Happy Holidays, everyone! For some stupid reason, Christmas is on a Wednesday this year, right in the middle of the work week. I’ve got to go back to work the day after Christmas! Anyway, before that happens, we get to read some new comics like Absolute Batman and G.I.Joe.
Comic Book of the Week goes to another stellar issue of Wonder Woman, this time with a big Detective Chimp cameo to drive it all forward.
Meanwhile, my decision to wait on Dragon Age: The Veilguard paid off because it was on sale this week for 40% off! So I snatched it up and am giving that a try. I’m very much enjoying both Skeleton Crew and Creature Commandos, so I’ve got plenty to watch and enjoy. And this Wednesday I’ll be heading home for Christmas with the family! Everything is humming along nicely.
Also, if I haven’t mentioned yet, Gamer Girl & Vixen Vol. 2: Tyrant Lizard Queen is finished and heading to the printers! So anyone who backed our Kickstarter or would like to read my comics, stay tuned for more info on getting a copy of my comic!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #3, G.I.Joe #2, Power Rangers Prime #2 and Wonder Woman #16.

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 – 6/8/24
We’re back with more comic book reviews! I do apologize that these will be more haphazard from me going forward. Sometimes there just aren’t any comics coming out that I really have an opinion on. And sometimes I can be pretty lazy. But this week saw some solid releases, like Batman and The Ultimates.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Scarlett #1 for a clean, enjoyable new chapter in the ongoing Energon Universe.
Meanwhile, I beat God of War: Ragnarok and it was an excellent game! Just as big and fun as the first. I’ve burned through a couple of TV shows. I enjoyed Mr. and Mrs. Smith, didn’t care for the first two episodes of The Acolyte and absolutely adored Hazbin Hotel. That show lives up to all its hype! This weekend is the third and final season of Sweet Tooth, so hopefully that’s fun.
This week also saw the final issue of the Krakoa Era for X-Men, but I checked out awhile ago, so it won’t be reviewed this week. Bring on From the Ashes!
Comic Reviews: Batman #148, The Boy Wonder #2, Scarlett #1 and The Ultimates #1.

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.
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.
