Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 3/30/24
Happy Easter weekend, everybody! I’ll be heading home to see the folks and am hoping for a nice weekend where I finally, at long last, defeat this sinus infection. Thankfully, had a trio of really enjoyable comics this week, including Duke and Power Rangers.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Ultimate Spider-Man #3 because, while all three issues were enjoyable, I found this one to be the most engaging and entertaining.
Meanwhile, I’ve started watching Shogun and am enjoying it, after all the rave reviews. And I started playing that new Saints Row game that came out in 2022. It’s…fine. I can definitely see why it crashed and burned, but it suffices as a cheap Grand Theft Auto knock-off for the time being. I really need to finally play God of War: Ragnarok.
Comic Reviews: Duke #4, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #118 and Ultimate Spider-Man #3.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 3/2/24
What a week, what a week! I got slammed at work this week, which is never fun. But I did manage to squeeze in some comic book reading, with titles like Avengers: Twilight and Duke.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #117 because I liked what I saw in this issue.
Meanwhile, I watched the live action Avatar: The Last Airbender this past week and it’s…fine to not good. I don’t know if I’ll do a full review or not. Nothing that happened in the live action first season is better than the animated version, so it calls into question why even have a live action version. Honestly, it’s made me question why we have live action adaptations at all, especially if you’re just going to recreate the cartoon over again.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 2/3/24
We’re in February, everybody! And that’s a big month for me! If you haven’t seen the news yet, my own self-published comic, Gamer Girl & Vixen, is returning to Kickstarter for our sequel graphic novel! So go sign up for the Feb. 12 launch! And then read my reviews this week for comics like Avengers Twilight and Duke!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Power Rangers Unlimited for a nicely personal spin-off story starring the Rangers Slayer.
Meanwhile, I’m slowly working my way through Super Mario Bros. Wonder. I splurged on that game before Christmas, and who doesn’t love a good, classic Mario game? And I’m watching some AppleTV+ again. Hijack starring Idris Elba is a real delight so far!
Comic Reviews: Avengers: Twilight: Book Two, Duke #2 and Power Rangers Unlimited: The Morphin Masters.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 1/20/24
What a great week in comics! If you didn’t see already, I’m ramping up my own self-published comic output this year with some Gamer Girl & Vixen web comics. Check them out! And more announcements coming soon! Meanwhile, we’ve got some solid regular comics too, like Superman and the first issue of Cobra Commander!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Wonder Woman #5, because even the place-setting issues of this series are great! It’s nice to see that Yara Flor is still around.
Meanwhile, I’ve settled into some nice, comfortable monotony with Project Zomboid, even though I’ve been reading to hang it up for a while now. It keeps me entertained, and that’s what matters. I just like pedantry in my games. I spent a whole afternoon in this zombie game just mowing the overgrown lawn of my safehouse.
Comic Reviews: Avengers: Twilight: Book One, Cobra Commander #1, Superman #10 and Wonder Woman #5.

Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins is due in theaters this weekend. I’m going to go see it, because my movie theater is open, I’m vaccinated and the crowds haven’t been too big (other than for Black Widow). Will it be good? Yeah, maybe! Will it kick off a whole new G.I. Joe franchise built around Henry Golding’s Snake Eyes? God willing!
I have mellowed a bunch in my old age and it doesn’t bug me as much that we both see Snake Eyes’ face and he talks in this film. That’s fine. Maybe by the end he’ll be the traditional masked mute, but I wouldn’t die if that didn’t happen. I’m hoping this is good and a new franchise is possible. Why not? What else are we saving G.I. Joe for? Military-based action movies are a dime a dozen. Why not have a franchise where all of the gruff military dudes are unique, wacky characters? And of them is an awesome, masked ninja?
Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins will be in theaters on Friday and this weekend!
