The Cowboy Bebop TV Show Looks Amazing
I have never seen the original Cowboy Bebop anime. I’m simply not much of an anime guy. But you best believe I’ll be checking out the live action adaptation coming to Netflix next month. Based on this trailer and this “Lost Scene”, this show looks like it’s going to be amazing!
I’m loving the Scott Pilgrim vs. The World aesthetic, which is readily apparent in this special little short episode.
This show looks fire. I can’t speak to it’s accuracy to the anime, nor do I care. It doesn’t matter to me in the least that live action Cowboy Bebop is accurate to original anime Cowboy Bebop. I just want a really cool show, and this looks really, really cool!
Live action Cowboy Bebop comes to Netflix on Nov. 19.

This Lightyear Movie Looks Crazy Good
So Disney and Pixar are making a new movie about Buzz Lightyear as if it was the real ‘person’ and not the toy from Toy Story. The idea is wild, but I’m open to whatever. And this teaser trailer strikes a really great note.
Or I might just be rocking on some great David Bowie.
Will the tone of the movie be more like this song cover or will it be a wacky, space hero adventure? Probably more of the later. But in terms of a really good, really evocative trailer, I really love this one. It’s striking, it’s a little haunting. And that’s a really interesting take on this whole idea. So cool beans!
Lightyear is coming next summer.

The 6 Dorkiest PSA One-Off Comic Characters
Comic books have been many things over the years, such as a place where corporate partnerships lead to awkward superhero tie-ins or a place where Hostess fruit pies are the be-all, end-all of the universe. One of the most fascinating types of comics are the public service announcement comics, trying to teach kids to say no to drugs or the dangers of carbon monoxide. A lot of times, these PSAs feature either the heroes talking to teens about the problem or they fight one of their classic comic book villains.
But sometimes, a brand new, PSA-specific villain is created to take on classic superheroes and that’s what we’re talking about today! The weirdest, silliest, creepiest one-off comic book villains created for ancient PSA comics!
I just thought this would be fun. Comic book professionals went to the trouble of writing and designing these characters. They’re like NFL Superpro or Combo-Man, but far less interesting or entertaining. By all accounts, these villains might even be canon. Maybe they’ll be re-used in a real, legitimate comic book one day. I can only hope. But until then, let’s check out the first and only appearances of some very educational comic book villains!

I’m sorry I’m so late to the Joel Haver party! The man is a comedic genius. Especially when it comes to simple, dumb, but hilarious gags. Like this bit about the TV show Friends. This had me rolling all weekend and I just gotta share.
Such a dumb and simple gag, but oh so funny in its execution and delivery. Kudos to Joel Haver and his crew. Kudos to random internet comedy!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 10/23/21
Here we go! Another week of good comics. Another week around this Earth. Another week of the usual stuff. Lots of comics this week, especially from DC. Batman, Black Manta, Superman; it’s a real juicy pile!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Nightwing #85 for an issue rich in character and heart, even as it ties into a bigger story.
Meanwhile, I have been having a pretty crap week. Just one headache on top of another on top of a literal headache. But still I soldier on. Finally got to play Back 4 Blood with a full crew of my friends. I’ve been having a lot of fun with that game. I finally got back into reading Invincible after watching the TV show. That’s going nicely. And a new bookstore opened in my town, and they are selling Gamer Girl & Vixen comics! So that’s a hoot.
Comic Reviews: Batman #115, Black Manta #2, Nightwing #85, Superman: Son of Kal-El #4, Thor #18, X-Men: The Trial of Magneto #3.
