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.

Can you believe we have to wait all the way until November for another superhero movie? Man, what’s wrong with the world? Good thing we’ve got other comics to fill the time! Detective Comics, Hulk comics, Wonder Woman comics, X-Men comics and Squirrel Girl comics!
Unbeatable Squirrel Girl wins Comic Book of the Week because Ryan North and Erica Henderson revel in what it would actually be like to visit the Savage Land!
I checked in on Amazing Spider-Man this week but decided not to review it because it’s largely a Secret Empire tie-in and I’m not super keen on reading or reviewing a ton of tie-ins. Thankfully, this tie-in is largely focused on Dan Slott’s ongoing story of Doc Ock taking back Parker Industries, so I dig that part of it. And it moves the Spider-Man/Mockingbird relationship forward a little, which I also like. But mostly it was a big, busy, crazy issue. So good times there!
Comic Reviews: Defenders #3, Detective Comics #960, Hulk #8, Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #22, Wonder Woman #26 and X-Men Blue #7.
