They Were Sure to Add Some Green to the New Lanterns Trailer
Allow me to say, right off the bat, that I didn’t need green in the previous Lanterns trailer. I don’t need to have a trailer or a TV show or whatever hold my hand and reassure me that the new show is going to be accurate and solidly adapted. I have faith. I have willingness to watch. I’m cool. I’m down.
And honestly, this new trailer trades substance for green.
Still looks like a mighty fine show. Still not sure what it’s actually going to be about, other than Hal Jordan and John Stewart solving a mystery in a ranch town…but that’s fine. I have faith. I have trust. I’m sure they’re going to make a fine show, and it’s going to have some neat ties into the larger DCU and it’s going to really set up the Green Lanterns as something cool and interesting.
I have faith. Lanterns comes to HBO Max on Aug. 16.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 5/16/26
This was an oddly rough week and I didn’t get to read all of the comics I wanted. Or I did read them, like Absolute Martian Manhunter, but was too lost in the sauce to do a proper review. So you’re stuck with classic standbys like Iron Man and Fury of Firestorm.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Batman #20, because you don’t change an industry without being able to maintain quality at your 20th issue. Plus Robins.
Meanwhile, your boy remains deep in the paint on Crimson Desert. Loving the game. Been playing for weeks and I still feel like I’ve barely sank my teeth into it. Just enjoying the pedantic stuff like building up my camp, taking care of animals, exploring and all the good stuff. I’ve got a long weekend, though, so maybe I’ll try to dive in deeper. Beyond that, I really enjoyed The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins and Rooster!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #20, Fury of Firestorm #2 and Iron Man #5.

Better sit down for this one! Stop-motion animation powerhouse Laika is back with their new film, Wildwood, and this looks about as cool as anything can. It’s not CGI. It’s stop-motion animation. Keep that in mind when you watch this trailer.
Holy cow, people! That was gorgeous! That was intricate! That was so detailed it’s mind-blowing! These people are masters of their craft and it shows in even just a trailer, let alone the final product. The story feels a little light and cliche, but I think we can put that aside to enjoy some top tier animation.
Wildwood comes to theaters on Oct. 23.

6 Thoughts on the Second Season of Daredevil: Born Again (Review)
We do now live in a world where the Daredevil show on Netflix was fully revived into a new show that’s just as good. The world is not such a dark and horrible place…no wait, it definitely still is. But we can now cling to our little pop culture shows and movies had games to find some joy to be had in all the darkness — and finding joy in darkness is maybe one of the themes of Daredevil: Born Again? I dunno.
TV Show Rating: 9/10 – Great
So yeah, season two of Daredevil: Born Again has arrived only a year after the first season, which is a miracle in this day and age. And they’re already working on season three. I watched the episodes week-by-week because I wanted to be part of the zeitgeist, and now I’m doing my roundup review. Am I late to the party? Probably. But I’m not famous enough to get screeners in advance. It’s just little old me, plugging away on this blog still.
Regardless, join me after the jump for my review and thoughts on the second season of Daredevil: Born Again! Expect FULL SPOILERS for the whole season. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 5/9/26
What a banger week it’s been! Great TV shows have come to an end, great, uh, other things are probably happening somewhere, and we got some damn good comics to enjoy, like Absolute Superman and Daredevil.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Batman #9 because it’s an exciting issue with good energy, nudging it just a little bit above the second issue of a so-far excellent Daredevil series.
Meanwhile, I very much enjoyed the season finales of both Maul: Shadow Lord and Daredevil: Born Again. Great shows that were super fun to watch! I’m going to try to put together some List of Six thoughts/reviews for both over the coming week or so. We’ll see how that goes. Beyond that, I’m deep in the paint on Crimson Desert. It’s exactly my sort of open world game with lots of pedantic little things to do throughout the game world. Super fun! And I’m still deciding whether or not to see Mortal Kombat II in theaters. I really don’t have any interest…but it’s Mortal Kombat II…but it’s not that Street Fighter movie, which has me actively excited. I dunno. It should be in theaters for a while, so I’ve got time to decide.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Superman #19, Batman #9 and Daredevil #2.
