Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 3/23/24
I swear to god, you guys, if this cold lasts any bit longer I’m going to start smashing stuff! I’ve had a whole week of this thing just rooting itself in my sinuses for a wee bit of a pressure headache! Argh! Anyway, new comics still came out this week.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Superman #12 for a truly excellent climax to its ongoing story so far. Fun stuff all around!
Meanwhile, I watched the first two episodes of X-Men ’97 and they were exceptional! I had high hopes going in, and was blown away by the style, depth, faithfulness and just all around quality job from everyone involved. They took the concept and really used it to its fullest, even if a couple characters don’t sound all that great. I think they should have recast everybody. But maybe that’s just me.
Comic Reviews: Cobra Commander #3, Nightwing #112, Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver #2 and Superman #12.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 3/16/24
Ugh, what a week. I caught a nasty cold last weekend and have spent this whole week in some state of crumminess. Hopefully by the time you read these reviews I’ll be feeling better, but while I’m writing them, everything is crummy!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Transformers #6 because Daniel Warren Johnson just goes all out with the insane action!
Meanwhile, my two comic book Kickstarters both came to an end this week, both successful! So this year I will be making Gamer Girl & Vixen: Tyrant Lizard Queen, and a short story of mine will appear in The Cloakroom, a collection of shorts from students in Scott Snyder’s My Best Jacket Substack class. And I’m also finally getting to work on making that Cover Bard project I mentioned a long time ago. So this is gonna be a good year for me making my own comics!
Comic Reviews: ThunderCats #2, Transformers #6 and Ultimate Black Panther #2.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 3/9/24
I don’t know what’s happened, but work has been really busy lately. Your favorite blogger is being run ragged! But I made it through another week and am taking this week to really relax. Thankfully, I got to enjoy some nice comics this week, like Batman and Void Rivals.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Birds of Prey #7 for a confident and fun kick off to their next story.
Meanwhile, it’s the final few days to pre-order Gamer Girl & Vixen vol. 2: Tyrant Lizard Queen! Pop on over to the Kickstarter and order your copy today! I’m making comics! Beyond that, I’m looking to finally finish off Super Mario Bros. Wonder this weekend, and will be trying the free Mortal Kombat 1 play demo as well.
Comic Reviews: Batman #145, Birds of Prey #7, Sensational She-Hulk #6, Ultimate X-Men #1 and Void Rivals #7.

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.
Comic Reviews: Avengers: Twilight: Book 3, Duke #3 and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #117.

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!
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.
