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.
Read the rest of this entryVisionQuest Looks Really Cool!
The next, and possibly last, Marvel Studios TV show on Disney+ is VisionQuest! It’s the final part of a trilogy that started with WandaVision, continued with Agatha All Along, and now involves the Vision dealing with family troubles. There’s a new trailer and it looks great!
Love that slow cover of House of the Rising Sun. I know those types of covers are used a lot, but I still love’em. So sue me. Anyway, this looks really neat! Paul Bettany and James Spader butting heads looks like super fun. The story of Vision finding his humanity is always a hoot. And it builds on the manufactured family from the first two shows with Tommy Shepherd. All looks good to me!
VisionQuest comes to Disney+ on Oct. 14.

Drunk History is Back For Some Reason
It’s Wednesday, it’s the end of September, and Comedy Central has brought back Drunk History for some reason. It’s an all-time classic show, and there’s a new episode to watch on YouTube. In this episode, Lisa Gilroy tells the story of Frances Perkins and the New Deal.
Fun episode. Fun watch. And maybe we all learned something in the process.
While typing up this post, I took a look at the Comedy Central YouTube page…they haven’t posted anything in a year. The last thing they posted was a Beavis and Butthead thing. And then, suddenly, two weeks ago, they returned with a Drunk History episode about Madonna. And now this episode.
Maybe this is what the world needs right now…
