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.

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

What an interesting week for comics! We’ve got a couple of new #1 relaunches, and DC Comics comes back after an event that stymied their titles for two months. Lot of great reads this week, including Nightwing, Captain America and Superman!

Comic Book of the Week goes to Wonder Woman #1 for a very strong, very powerful first issue that absolutely nails the tone its going for right off the bat.

Mission statement

Meanwhile, my time with Baldur’s Gate is winding down. I beat the game with a co-op friend finally, and now I’m just going to go through the motions to finish off some solo games, or put them on hold to wait for some game fixes. We’re a month away from the new Spider-Man 2 game, so I’ve got to get ready for that.

Comic Reviews: Captain America #1, Nightwing #106, Superman #6, Titans #3 and Wonder Woman #1.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/12/23

If you’re reading this when it posts on Saturday, I should be in New York City visiting Flame Con, the world’s premiere LGBTQ+ comic book convention! I’m going to meet the artist on my next Gamer Girl & Vixen graphic novel. I’ll have more to share about that soon, but it’s her first time on the East Coast, and it makes for a nice day trip for me!

Comic Book of the Week goes to Superman Annual #1 for a whole and hearty issue that does a lot with the ongoing story, while setting up even more! I don’t know if I’ve ever been this excited about Lobo.

Looks like a job for Superman…

Meanwhile, Baldur’s Gate 3 proceeds in spectacular fashion. I’ve currently got three games going, a co-op game with a friend where I’m a wild magic sorcerer, a solo game where I’m a heroic half-orc bard and a third game where I’m going to try to be evil. I normally hate being evil in games, but the evil route seems to have a lot of interesting differences.

Comic Reviews: Avengers #4, Immortal X-Men #14 and Superman Annual #1.
