And Here’s a Bass Reeves Anime
It’s a random Thursday. Just trying to get through the week. And I randomly found this trailer this morning for a Bass Reeves anime on Netflix. Looks pretty dope.
Bass Reeves was a real person in a post Civil War world, and his star has been rising in recent years with more media appearances. He hasn’t had a full Hollywood movie yet – I don’t think – but an anime on Netflix where everybody pilots mechs should suffice. This looks pretty gnarly and pretty fun.
Bass X Machina comes to Netflix on Nov. 3.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/10/26
What a week to get into the Halloween spirit! Not only has DC finally released its highly anticipated new Etrigan comic, but Marvel dropped all three debut issues of its new Midnight line in one go! And I read them all! Spider-Man! Fantastic Four! X-Men! And yet…
Comic Book of the Week goes to The Demon #1 because I had the most fun with this debut issue. I know what I like.
Meanwhile, I hated everything about Ted Lasso season 4 and loved pretty much everything about Lanterns season 1. I finally finished the new Wolverine video game and I enjoyed it overall. I’m thinking of doing a review in a week or two. Now I need to find me a new game to sustain me until November 19…
Also, my Cover Bard comic book Kickstarter is oh so close to hitting its goal! As always, I invite anyone reading my reviews to check out my own comic because I am fully capable of putting my money where my mouth is. I can review other people’s comics and then write my own to be reviewed!
Comic Reviews: The Demon #1, Midnight Fantastic Four #1, Midnight Spider-Man #1, Midnight X-Men #1, Absolute Superman #24 and The Deadman #5.

6 Thoughts on the First Season of Lanterns (Review)
The first season of Lanterns has come and gone and it’s turning out to be pretty controversial online — at least in the circles I frequent. Lots of ‘Surf Dracula’ talk. People upset that there wasn’t more Green Lanterning. You know how the internet can be. Well I’m here to deliver my personal opinion and review on the first season of Lanterns!
TV Show Rating: 8/10 – Very Good
I liked it a lot! I will admit that my grade did go down a level from when I started writing this list until after watching the finale, but I’m not one of the people who hated the finale. I thought it was a solid ending to a solid show, which stuck to its intended tone and story all the way through. Surf Dracula? Maybe. Does that bother me? Not with Lanterns, not really. But I’ll get more into the nuance later. The important thing is, we have a Green Lantern TV show and there’s going to be more in the future!
Join me after the jump for my full thoughts on the first season of Lanterns. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the entire season. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.

The second season of Deep Space Discounts comes to a crazy ending! Have you been following along? Watching these episodes? It’s been a fun season, and it’s a shame it’s over, because now we gotta wait for me.
This episode is a weird jump from the end of the last one, but I’m sure DeepBlueInk had his reasons for writing it that way. We learn a lot more about what’s going on, and the energy and excitement just keep building. Great characters, great animation and fun storytelling. Can’t wait for more!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/3/26
Buy my book! Buy my book! Nothing like a good reference to the 30-year-old TV show The Critic to kick off a bout of comic book reviews, eh? But seriously, go check out the Kickstarter for my new comic, Cover Bard #1! We’re almost at our goal and you could be the awesome person that gets us over the top! Imagine how much fun that will feel?
Comic Book of the Week goes to Amazing Spider-Man #1,000 for hitting such a nice milestone, and for also being a swell comic.
Meanwhile, I’m going to wrap up the Wolverine game this weekend. Solid play. I may or may not do a review. I’ll definitely have a review up next week on my thoughts on the first season of Lanterns! Loving the show! Can’t wait for the finale! Beyond that, I’m watching the latest season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and reading Harley & Ivy: Life & Crimes by Erica Henderson. Both quite fun so far. I love Henderson’s artwork.
Comic Reviews: Amazing Spider-Man #1000, Bizarro: Year None #3 and Uncanny X-Men #36.
