Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/7/23

This was a crazy week for comics! New, highly anticipated comics, like Transformers and G.O.D.S.! Big comics like the new Batman! So many comics that I had to skip some of those I enjoy just to fit them all in during my week!

Comic Book of the Week goes to Birds of Prey #2 for a really stylish issue that does a lot of really cool things with art and color.

Huckleberry Harley should be a spin-off

Meanwhile, I enjoyed the final episode of Ahsoka, though the series overall was rather disappointing. Thankfully, the first episode of Loki season 2 was a hoot! So the shows just keep coming. And Cyberpunk 2077 is as fun as I remember, though it’s not all that different from the first time I played at launch. Still generally fun.

Comic Reviews: Batman #138, Birds of Prey #2, G.O.D.S. #1, Transformers #1 and X-Men #27.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 9/30/23

Another week is upon us, and it’s another week of reading comics! Good for us. Some pretty solid comics too, like new Power Rangers and new Avengers.

Comic Book of the Week goes to Void Rivals #4 for another solid, entertaining chapter in this ongoing tale. It’s all pretty simple, but it’s effectively simple.

Don’t look at me like that

Meanwhile, I finally beat Baldur’s Gate 3! I beat both a co-op campaign with a friend, and my solo campaign where I was able to do more. And it’s come to a fitting conclusion, and I’ve moved right on to the new Cyberpunk 2077 upgrades and DLC. I had a great time last time I played the game at launch, so here’s hoping for another good time now.

Comic Reviews: Avengers #5, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #112, Ms. Marvel: The New Mutant #2 and Void Rivals #4.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 7/22/23

The weekend is upon us! It’s Comic-Con weekend and so much great news is coming out. Fun trailers, new comic announcements; life is good when you’re gorging on Comic-Con news. And the comics were pretty fun this week as well.

Comic Book of the Week goes to Void Rivals #2 for a strong second issue to this new Energon Universe.

Party-poopers are universal

Meanwhile, I conquered Barbenheimer last night and it was a hoot! Both Barbie and Oppenheimer were phenomenal films, in their own right. Also, this might be the weekend I finally finish off The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. I’ve put this ending off long enough, and I’ve got Baldur’s Gate 3 I can transition to in a couple weeks.

Comic Reviews: Black Panther #2, Hawkgirl #1 and Void Rivals #2.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/17/23

Fun week in comics for me this week. We’ve got a pair of new issues, and that’s always a hoot. But we’ve also got the second issue of Green Lantern. So it’s one of those weeks.

Comic Book of the Week goes to Void Rivals #1 for a pretty much perfectly structured and told first issue, which sufficiently teases whatever this new Energon Universe is going to be.

Give it a shot

Meanwhile, I’ve taken a pause from Tears of the Kingdom to try out Diablo 4 with some friends of mine, and it’s been a fine choice. I love the Diablo games and this one is just as fun as the others. I also watched and enjoyed The Flash movie, so come back on Wednesday for my review/thoughts.

Comic Reviews: Black Panther #1, Green Lantern #2 and Void Rivals #1.
