Merry Christmas From One of My Favorites!
Merry Christmas, everybody! And Happy Holidays to those who don’t celebrate! I’m off with my family for the next few days, so there won’t be as many posts, and my Hench-Sized Reviews won’t be nearly as long as usual. But I’m grateful that artist Mike Maihack is always there to provide some Christmas cheer!
Thanks, Mike! Your comics are always a treat!

Supergirl and Batgirl Are Still Adorbs
The Internet is still going ga-ga over Batgirl’s new redesign, so we should have expected adorable artist-extraordinaire, Mike Maihack to have his say. And, of course, it’s great.
I even like his dig at New 52 Harley Quinn!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 4/26/14
This is the week of zero issues, apparently! All of the cool kids are starting off their new comic books with an issue #0 instead of the traditional #1. Because who needs tradition, amiright? Besides, ‘zero’ starts with a ‘Z’, so that makes it cooler already.
We’ve got both Justice League United #0, the start off the next Justice League spin-off , and Original Sin #0, a prologue to this Summer’s Big Event from Marvel. Original Sin actually makes for a nice little prologue, while this #0 issue of Justice League United actually reads like a #1 issue. I wouldn’t be surprised if Justice League United #1 just picks right up from where #0 left off.
So what was the point?
Beyond those zero books, we’ve got new issues of Aquaman, Fantastic Four and Batman Eternal, which continues its efforts to drive me insane. I also decided to jump back into Red Lanterns, which was a good choice, because Red Lanterns #30 wins Comic Book of the Week! Though, admittedly, there wasn’t much released this week.
Comic Reviews: Aquaman #30, Batman Eternal #3, Fantastic Four #3, Justice League United #0, Original Sin #0 and Red Lanterns #30.

Our Favorite Supergirl Artist Responds to Her Joining the Red Lanterns
I haven’t decided yet how I feel about Supergirl joining the Red Lanterns, but artist Mike Maihack has a few thoughts!
Why DC Comics isn’t throwing money at this man, I will never know. Can you imagine if these were a back-up strip at the ends of every comic? It would be a stroke of genius.
My Batgirl and Supergirl Christmas Tradition!
We can always count on Mike Maihack to bring the holiday spirit! I’m just going to keep posting these as long as he keeps making them, they are too adorable!
