I am Very Excited for the Lanterns TV Show
San Diego Comic-Con is in full swing and a bunch of trailers have come out, but it’s a lazy Sunday, so I’m only in the mood to share this one. We’ve got a big, extended, full of stuff trailer for the upcoming Lanterns TV show. I think it looks great.
I always had faith in this show. I didn’t buy into any of the negativity about it being too drab or brown, or there not being enough green, or Hal Jordan being too old. People be complaining about so much stuff these days. But it’s that sort of world, and I try to let it roll off my back. This show looks great. I’m all for a gritty crime drama, and this one is now coupled with the Green Lantern Corps, full of characters and aliens and powers and rings and Sinestro. I’m all-in.
Lanterns comes to HBO Max on Aug. 16.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 7/25/26
Welcome back to another week of comics! I keep realizing that there are a bunch of comics that I enjoyed at one point that I lost track of for one reason or another. I had planned to get caught back up with Void Rivals this week…but it didn’t happen. My bad. Good thing I’m still all-in on the Absolute comics! Or most of them.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Superman #21 for a truly spectacular bout of fisticuffs!
Meanwhile, I went and saw The Odyssey earlier this week and loved it! Such a big, bold, awesome and beautiful movie. I wasn’t as captivated the whole way through like I was with Oppenheimer, but it definitely came together in a very strong and emotional third act. Beyond that, I’m finally winding down on Crimson Desert. Great game. I’m currently finishing up the second season of Monarch, which is fine. And I’m all caught up on Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Superman #21, Absolute Wonder Woman #22 and Amazing Spider-Man #33.
Read the rest of this entryNew Coyote vs. Acme Trailer!
We’re in the middle of San Diego Comic-Con and, once again, I’m not there. Maybe I’ll go someday. We’ll see how life and my health hold up. But we’re getting a ton of trailers and reveals and announcements. I can’t post them all, but I’m saving some of my favorites, like this new trailer for Coyote vs. Acme!
Wile E. Coyote is my favorite of the Looney Tunes, since I was a kid. So that he’s getting his own movie, and it seems to have nothing but heart for the dude, is super fun! And the movie looks funny. That bit with John Cena and Tweety Bird? Golden! I’m definitely gonna see this one in theaters, if it comes near me.
Coyote vs. Acme comes to theaters on Aug. 28.

Here We Go: Avengers: Doomsday Trailer!
I was at work in a courtroom yesterday morning, followed by watching the 3-hour The Odyssey movie, so when this Avengers: Doomsday trailer randomly dropped on a Monday morning, I was in no position to post it. So I waited until today. That’s good enough.
I like it, but I’d say I’m not too hyped. I’m at a plateau of hype for most Marvel projects these days. I have enjoyed every single one — with the exception of Secret Invasion — so I fully expect Doomsday to be good. I fully expect to enjoy it. Bring it on. Let’s have a good movie where everybody shows up and teams up and Doctor Doom is awesome. Should be a hoot. Should be a good time. Cameos just don’t wow me at this point in my jaded life. So I’ll just have to wait and see the movie and enjoy it.
Avengers: Doomsday comes to theaters on Dec. 18.

Tell It Animated: Bowser and Punisher
One of my favorite little channels on YouTube is Tell It Animated, where a dude draws character evolutions from over the years/decades. He’s a cool dude with a great gimmick. And I like sharing what he’s made, even if I’m rather late with at least one of these.
First up is Bowser, or King Koopa for those of us who grew up in the 1980s.
And then we’ve got the Punisher, ahead of his upcoming appearance in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
Good videos, both! Hopefully they brighten somebody’s Monday. I gotta get some work in today and then I’m going to see The Odyssey, so hopefully it’ll be a good day for yours truly.
