We Now Have the Details on the New G.I.Joe Comic
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 – 5/25/24
What am I supposed to do when all of my favorite comics come out in the same week?! I’m trying to give myself less work to do, but now we’ve got Power Rangers, Nightwing and Wonder Woman coming out in the same darn week!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Void Rivals #9 for an excellent crossover with Transformers.
Meanwhile, I’m still working my way through God of War: Ragnarok. I love these games and make sure to 100% as much as I can, just because the game is fun to play and the rewards are fun to collect. I’m just ahead of the endgame now, so it won’t be much longer. Beyond that, I started to read The Nice House on the Lake by James Tynion IV and Alvaro Martinez, and it’s great! I got Vol. 1 for Christmas, finally read it and immediately ordered Vol. 2. Really good comic!
Comic Reviews: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #20, Nightwing #114, Void Rivals #9 and Wonder Woman #9.

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.

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.
