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.

My second favorite Ranger design

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 – 2/24/24

What a week, what a glorious week! If you haven’t heard the news, my Gamer Girl & Vixen Kickstarter hit its funding goal this week, so I’m on cloud nine! And then the world went ahead and gave me so many of my favorite current comics, like Nightwing, Superman and Transformers!

Comic Book of the Week goes to Wonder Woman #6 because every issue of this series is just mind-blowingly cool!

Heck yeah

Meanwhile, I’ve been making my way through various TV shows lately, like Lessons in Chemistry and, finally, Twisted Metal. I’m still playing Super Mario Bros. Wonder and taking my sweet time at on that. No other new games have really caught my attention. So just sort of chilling my way through some OK games and shows these days.

Comic Reviews: Cobra Commander #2, Nightwing #111, Superman #11, Transformers #5, Ultimate Spider-Man #2 and Wonder Woman #6.

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.

That’s what they all say

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!

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.

No, it’s issue #5

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.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 1/13/24

Another week, more comics, the world keeps spinning around and around. Some pretty good and enjoyable comics this week, like Transformers and the first issue of the hotly anticipated Ultimate Spider-Man #1.

Comic Book of the Week is Sensational She-Hulk for an excellent issue of superheroes being normal people, which I love.

I want more dancing in my superhero comics

Meanwhile, I watched Echo this past week and I enjoyed it. Definitely nothing special or outstanding, but it’s a solid corner of the MCU that could be further explored in the future. I wouldn’t mind seeing her interact with other heroes and actually play a role. Beyond that, my interest in Project Zomboid is definitely beginning to wane after a few unfortunate deaths. I just wanna play the game and not have to keep restarting! Stupid zombies.

Comic Reviews: Sensational She-Hulk #4, Transformers #4 and Ultimate Spider-Man #1.
