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.
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.
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.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 2/28/26
As of today, I’m on vacation! Got a week off from work to just relax and not experience the winter anymore. Should be nice. And we get to start out with a bunch of good comics, like Iron Man and Absolute Martian Manhunter.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Wonder Woman because that comic can do no wrong.
Meanwhile, I started playing Subnautica: Below Zero, because it was recently free on Playstation Plus. I’ve never played the original Subnautica, but free is free. I’m enjoying it, because I like these gathering/building/exploring games. I can throw on some YouTube on the side and just mosey around. Fun so far. All my anticipated games are coming out in the fall. I’ve also started watching the recent TV adaptation of The Rainmaker, which is my all-time favorite book, at least it was when I was a teenager getting into grown up books. I don’t have a lot of faith in this show, because I’m going to be too much of a stickler.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Martian Manhunter #9, Absolute Wonder Woman #17, Iron Man #2 and Void Rivals #27.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 2/21/26
My relationship with comics is so weird these days. I’m loving pretty much everything DC is putting out, I’m very very lukewarm on anything Marvel is attempting, and I’ve all but given up on the Energon Universe. I’ve got a vacation coming up, and I think I’m gonna try to get caught up on all the comics I’ve let fall to the wayside so that I have more review options. Anyway, here’s Captain America and the Ultimate Spider-Man finale.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Batman #17, which delivers another absolute banger as it introduces Absolute Poison Ivy.
Meanwhile, I finally finished Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. It was a solid, enjoyable RPG that wasn’t as deep as I might have preferred, but it was a fun play. Now I’m on the search for my next game to play, and I don’t want to spend much money…I’m also rewatching all of Star Trek: Lower Decks to finish my recent Trek binge. The show absolutely and wonderfully holds up. I hope to see these characters again someday.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #17, Captain America #7, Ultimate Spider-Man #24, Wolverine: Weapons of Armageddon #1 and Wonder Woman #30.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 2/14/26
I was buried in snow again this week, so I worked from home one day and had a bunch of time to read more comics than usual. Sometimes I’ve been feeling that I review too few comics, or that I read too few. So I really wanted to expand my horizons this week! Like Vertigo! And Deadpool even!
True to form, however, Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Wonder Woman Annual, because it’s awesome.
Meanwhile, not much else going on, just getting through the second half of winter. Watched the latest season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and it was fun. And I’m onto the second DLC for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, so it’s all just moving along nicely in life. Such is everything.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Wonder Woman Annual #1, Cyclops #1, Void Rivals #26, Bleeding Hearts #1, D’Orc #1 and Wade Wilson: Deadpool #1.
