We are just having fun reviewing and discussing comic books, graphic novels, manga, anime/animation, music and movies that we have recently read, listened to or watched.
News from around the net related to comic books, graphic novels, manga, anime, and movies.
A Lego Brickumentary is one that If you are a Lego fan you might want to add this to your personal library. For libraries this would probably go over well if you have avid Lego fans that come in to check out the Lego DVD’s and books. This kind of flew under the radar last year and if you didn’t know it was out there you probably would know about it. Thanks to Movieclips Film Festivals & Indie Films YouTube channel for the trailer:
If you have fans for Honor Harrington or you are a fan yourself are you aware that there are Tales of Honor graphic novels. At this time there are two volumes and they would be nice companion pieces to the novels within your library collections. Thanks to the Tales of Honor YouTube channel for the following trailer:

ComicPop has featured Amy Raasch before with her animated video “Cat Bird Coyote”. Amy is continuing her animal activism with Kitty Decides to benefit animal rescues. What is Kitty Decides? Here is a quick explanation and then the teaser trailer for Amy Raasch’s Webisode that will debut June 24, this Friday:
What is #KITTYDECIDES?It’s a retro-electropop novelty tune, a psychedelic video with a kitschy 1960’s aesthetic, and a fun commentary on our cultural obsession with the online feline. With 100% of proceeds benefitting rescue efforts, it’s lighthearted entertainment with a serious mission: to translate the massive enthusiasm for cat videos into meaningful donations to animal rescue efforts.The full video is set to be released this Friday June 24th, to coincide with Cat World Domination Day and to kickoff CatConLA 2016.

For anyone that is unsure about what DC Comics Rebirth is about DC Comics has made a video with Geoff Johns. Check out the video from DC’s YouTube channel. I’m a DC guy so I am always optimistic:
Alice Underground is sharing with the ComicPop listeners her jazzy new single “Superman”. This is a fun song for fans of old school Jazz. Alice has a clear sultry voice that hits all the right notes and scats beautifully. Within the song their is a clear homage to Superman with the old theme song reflected in the single at certain points. This one hits our flavors perfectly especially how can it not with the title of “Superman”. I had to include the music video, even though it has no imagery of Superman, because it is just a fun video and the night club scene being in black and the pop of red gives a call out that is very subtle. Plus the video is just fun to watch, almost like you are watching Dancing with the Stars. Enjoy Alice Underground’s “Superman” through their YouTube channel – Richard:
ComicPop has reviewed the manga for Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign and enjoyed it. The anime looks to be just as good. FUNimation has Part 1 and 2 available right now or you can wait until September and they will be releasing the complete collection of Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign. Thanks to FUNimation’s YouTube channel for the trailer of Part 1:
