Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 5/30/26

Not a lot of reviews this week, I’m afraid. I got tied up with some things. Going away this weekend. Yadda yadda yadda. I just wanted to knock out this Absolute Wonder Woman review because it’s the final chapter of a really great story.

Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Wonder Woman #20 for a nice finish to the story. Not great, but still good.

Mood

Meanwhile, I’m still very much enjoying Crimson Desert. I’m trying to stretch this game out all summer if I can, so expect to hear about it in each of these meanwhiles…or maybe I should stop. We’ll see. I started up Spider-Noir the other night and it’s great so far! It’s a ton of fun! And I’m going away this weekend to finally see The Mandalorian and Grogu. I have high hopes.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 5/23/26

Happy Memorial Day Weekend to everybody in America! I’m traveling to visit family this weekend and it should be a good time. But before I left, I got in some good comic reading, like Wonder Woman, Spider-Man and even Wolverine!

Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Green Arrow #1 for another excellent launch of a new Absolute Comic!

I’m only just now seeing the pointy chin to represent his classic goatee

Meanwhile, I’m still deep into Crimson Desert and how to extend that game through the whole summer! The dev team keeps coming out with weekly patches that add a whole bunch of free content, and now I’m a little afraid of beating the game and missing out on what they come up with next! So I’m in for the long haul. Beyond that, I highly recommend the TV shows Rooster and The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins; both really fun shows! Haven’t seen The Mandalorian and Grogu yet because I’m getting together with some old pals to check it out next weekend. Should be fun.

Comic Reviews: Absolute Green Arrow #1, Amazing Spider-Man #29, Wonder Woman #33, Batwoman #3 and Wolverine: Weapons of Armageddon #4.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 4/25/26

Big to medium week in comics this week, folks! Frankly, any week with a new Absolute Wonder Woman is a big week, but we’ve also got the new Spider-Man/Superman crossover from Marvel! The last crossover of this big celebration period!

Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Wonder Woman #19, though, for a pretty much perfect comic. This one is on fire as Absolute Batman.

Hey

Meanwhile, I still feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface of Crimson Desert. I splurged on the game because I knew it was a big, open world RPG and that’s exactly what I’m getting! But it’s almost too big! I spend a lot of time seeking treasure and new outfits, while progressing story and side quests at a nice pace. Quality game; glad I bought it, hopefully it’ll sustain me all the way until Wolverine in September.

Comic Reviews: Absolute Wonder Woman #19, Captain America #9 and Spider-Man/Superman #1.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 4/19/26

Comics! You love’em. I love’em. What’s not to love? Especially when we’ve got some solid bangers like Wonder Woman and Batwoman to celebrate this week.

Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Batman #19 for a pretty much perfect comic, kicking off the big new storyline with style and pizzazz.

The B-Files

Meanwhile, the Museum of the Uncanny Kickstarter campaign is in its final week! They’ve got a ways to go to hit their goal, but I know they can do it and I know you lovely readers will check out the campaign and give some support to some indie comic creators! That’s what we’re all about!

Double meanwhile, I splurged and bought myself Crimson Desert and I’m definitely enjoying the game. I still feel like I’m taking it slow, considering everything I’m seeing online. But it’s a fun action RPG with a big open world to explore! Beyond that, I’m enjoying Daredevil: Born Again, enjoying Maul: Shadow Lord and the season 3 finale of Shrinking was wonderful.

Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #19, Batwoman #2 and Wonder Woman #32.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 3/21/26

Well well well, what have we here? Another batch of comics to review and another bunch of random people from the internet to read them? How delightful. Especially when we’ve got stuff like Wonder Woman and X-Men!

Comic Book of the Week goes to Batwoman #1 for a solid start to a new era at DC Comics. I’m looking forward to a lot of these creator-driven comics.

Good to have Batwoman back

Meanwhile, not much going on in my life. I’m taking a break from video games for a while, though I’m keeping my eye on Crimson Desert. I just watched and enjoyed the second season of Ted and I’m gonna go see Project: Hail Mary at the movie theater this weekend. So I’ve got that going for me, which is nice.

Comic Reviews: Batwoman #1, Wonder Woman #31, X-Men #27, Captain America #8 and Cyclops #2.
