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.

My car is freaking out in all sorts of weird ways and I’m not sure what the heck is going on. All I did was change the battery in my key fob. I don’t need this stress! Thankfully, we’ve got new Absolute comics this week to enjoy!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Batman #24 because I liked its energy just a bit more than Absolute Wonder Woman. But how can we complain when we get both in a single week?
Meanwhile, if you enjoy reading my comic book reviews, may I request you take a peek at my own comic book Kickstarter? I review comics every week, and sometimes I put my money where my mouth is and make my own comics! Cover Bard #1 has passed the 50% mark on Kickstarter so we’re looking pretty good if you’d like to snag your own copy to see if I have what it takes to actually write instead of just review comics. Much appreciated!

I was off from work this week and I spent the whole time on a nice staycation at home. Got some cleaning done. Read some comics. Played a lot of video games. And mostly just didn’t work. So it’s a good week for Wonder Woman and Absolute Green Arrow.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Daredevil #7 for a really fun, really energetic issue.
Meanwhile, I took this week off from work to play the new Wolverine video game and I’m very much enjoying it! Haters gonna hate and chase those hate algorithms, but this is a very enjoyable, straight forward Wolverine brawler game. So I’m quite pleased. I’m also working on a second playthrough of Star Wars: Zero Company, which remains fun. And I’m currently working my way through the fourth season of Reacher, which is also enjoyable. So good times for me!
Also, it’s time once again for me to put my money where my mouth is. I review comics week in and week out, and I’m once again making one of my own. Check out my profile on Cover Bard, my new first issue, which will be coming to Kickstarter on Monday! If you enjoy my reviews and want to see me put up or shut up on writing comics, this is a good opportunity and I would appreciate your support!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Green Arrow #5, Avengers Armageddon #4, Daredevil #7, Wonder Woman #37 and Uncanny X-Men #35.

It’s going to be a small week for reviews because I sort of got distracted, apparently, and didn’t read many new comics. I’m going to be on vacation next week, and I think I was just ticking off these days to get through them. Anyway, here’s Fury of Firestorm,
Comic Book of the Week goes to The Fury of Firestorm #6 for an excellent finish to its first story arc! Can’t wait to see where we go next.
Meanwhile, I’m wrapping up Star Wars: Zero Company. It was a fun play, but far shorter than I was hoping for. I may do a second play through just to pad out my time. I’m still excited for the Wolverine game in the week ahead, even if the internet seems to be reveling in its okay-to-good reviews. I expect to still have fun with it, though it might also be shorter than I was hoping for. We’ll see!
Comic Reviews: The Fury of Firestorm #6.
