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!

Accept the praise

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 – 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 – 12/23/23

Merry Christmas, everyone! By the time you’re reading this, I’ll be on the road to join my family for a nice holiday weekend! Should be a blast. And as a Christmas present to me this year, all of my favorite DC comics came out, like Nightwing and Superman!

Comic Book of the Week goes to Wonder Woman #4 because this series continues to fire on all god damned cylinders!

She’s here to help

Meanwhile, there won’t be any posts on the blog until probably Wednesday, because I’ll be out of town. But Wednesday will be my annual list of the things I enjoyed most this year, like my favorite comic, TV show, movie and video game. Speaking of video games, I’m currently enjoying Project Zomboid in early access on Steam. It’s neat!

Comic Reviews: Nightwing #109, Superman #9 and Wonder Woman #4.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 11/25/23

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I had a relatively fine visit home with the family, and a big, fun pile of comics to read and enjoy! This is one of those weeks where a lot of my favorites have come out, like Nightwing, Superman and Power Rangers.

Comic Book of the Week goes to Wonder Woman #3 for another stellar, super enjoyable issue of Wonder Woman being awesome!

Hello there

Meanwhile, I splurged on Star Wars Jedi: Survivor this past week because it was on sale and I’m enjoying it well enough. I haven’t really given myself time to dive in deep, but I’m sure I will this weekend. I’m also, hopefully, going to read Do a Powerbomb by Daniel Warren Johnson! I’m excited for that. I should mention more graphic novels I’m reading on the side. Like, I read Eight Billion Genies and it was really good. So go me!

Comic Reviews: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #114, Nightwing #108, Sensational She-Hulk #2, Superman #8, Void Rivals #6 and Wonder Woman #3.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/21/23

By the time you are reading this, I am hopefully hours-deep into the new Spider-Man 2 video game, and I’m loving the heck out of it! I’m also loving this week’s comics, which featured some of my absolute current favorite superhero comics coming out right now. What a fun week!

Comic Book of the Week goes to Superman #7, narrowly beating out new issues of Nightwing and Scarlet Witch. When weighed against one another, Superman #7 just contains more story oomph. The other comics were great s well!

Look, up in the sky!

Meanwhile, my Cyberpunk 2077 replay has been cut short thanks to Spider-Man 2. No big loss. I’ve got the saved games, so maybe I’ll play both at the same time? We’ll see. Spider-Man 2 is great so far. I love the familiar gameplay, I love this world, and I’m on a Playstation 5 now, so everything looks so damn good!

Comic Reviews: Nightwing #107, Scarlet Witch #9, Sensational She-Hulk #1 and Superman #7.
