Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 11/7/26
So this week sort of got away from me and I didn’t review as many comics as I had planned. I read a couple, but some of the ones I was thinking of reviewing were just so…I dunno…sorta bland that I decided not to even bother. Sometimes I just don’t have anything to say about a comic that is just minding its own business, doing its job. But I do have a lot to say about Avengers #1!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Superman #25 for a very character-focused milestone issue that sets the stage for some big adventure to come.
Meanwhile, I went and saw Godzilla Minus Zero the other night and…it’s good. It’s not as good as Godzilla Minus One, but it was still a fun watch in the theater. I guess I was hoping for more. Ah well. I’m also watching Furious on Hulu, which is also good, but not what I was expecting. And I’m reading Extremity by Daniel Warren Johnson, which is great so far. Also, I almost had a work thing interrupt my upcoming GTA6 vacation, but that won’t be happening now and vacation is back on!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Superman #25, Avengers #1 and Iron Man #11.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/17/26
Very good week for comics this week! Nothing Absolute or Midnight for me to check in on, so instead it’s just a bunch of very enjoyable normal superhero comics, like Amazing Spider-Man and a new Venom relaunch!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Legion of Super-Heroes #2 for another very fun adventure that throws us right into the deep end of this new Legion relaunch.
Meanwhile, it’s the final week for my comic book Kickstarter! Cover Bard #1 hit its funding goal on Friday to get printed copies, then everybody can read a comic I wrote myself! Help me prove to the world that I can put my money where my mouth is, and write comics as well as review them. Check out the campaign page or check out this look at the issue to get an idea where it’s for you.
Also, I didn’t really care for the Street Fighter movie, despite being so hyped for it all year. Just kind of a mess of a movie.
Comic Reviews: Amazing Spider-Man #1001, Legion of Super-Heroes #2, Venom #1 and Iron Man #10.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/8/26
What a fun week for comics and comic book fans. We’re all still basking in the glory of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, of X-Men casting news, and all sorts of other good things. Yet didn’t review the new Spider-Man comic…that’s on me. Anyway, I did review some good stuff like Absolute Superman and Batman.
Comic Book of the Week goes to The Deadman #3 for a truly marvelous artistic experience.
Meanwhile, I’ve finally, at long last, wrapped up my time in Crimson Desert. I squeezed at least 3 to 4 months out of that game. Had a great time. Loved the whole thing. It would probably be my game of the year…except we’ve still got Wolverine and Grand Theft Auto 6 coming out. Beyond that, I’ve started the second season of Batman: Caped Crusader, and that’s going fine. And if you haven’t seen my review, I absolutely loved Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
I’ve also spent the past week arguing on Reddit that a certain character at the end of the film did NOT get their memories back. I feel like I’ve been taking crazy pills at how many people online seem to think that’s what happened. It’s insane! Come at me in the comments!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Superman #22, Batman #12, The Deadman #3, Iron Man #8 and Uncanny X-Men #33.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 5/16/26
This was an oddly rough week and I didn’t get to read all of the comics I wanted. Or I did read them, like Absolute Martian Manhunter, but was too lost in the sauce to do a proper review. So you’re stuck with classic standbys like Iron Man and Fury of Firestorm.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Batman #20, because you don’t change an industry without being able to maintain quality at your 20th issue. Plus Robins.
Meanwhile, your boy remains deep in the paint on Crimson Desert. Loving the game. Been playing for weeks and I still feel like I’ve barely sank my teeth into it. Just enjoying the pedantic stuff like building up my camp, taking care of animals, exploring and all the good stuff. I’ve got a long weekend, though, so maybe I’ll try to dive in deeper. Beyond that, I really enjoyed The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins and Rooster!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #20, Fury of Firestorm #2 and Iron Man #5.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 4/11/26
Welcome back to the world of comics, party people! Mostly a quiet week for comics this week, I think, but we’ve got some strong issues of Iron Man and Power Rangers Prime.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Fury of Firestorm #1 for a very strong, very exciting first issue!
Meanwhile, my pals at Very Big Comics are humming along nicely with their Museum of the Uncanny Kickstarter. Check them out, they do good work and make good comics! I promise you won’t be disappointed. It’s a collection of spooky and fascinating short comic stories and could use all the love it can get!
Comic Reviews: Fury of Firestorm #1, Iron Man #4 and Power Rangers Prime #16.
