Star Wars Micro Comics and Cards

star wars micro

This is interesting.  IDW Publishing is trying something new in the collectible market with the Star Wars license.  They are producing blind packs for Star Wars Marvel minicomics, 3-D posters, 3-D glass, and trading cards that are puzzle pieces to form comic covers.  All this for $3.99.  Sounds good until you look at the break down of what’s in the packet.  You have a chance to get one of the six mini comics, a chance to get one of the six 3-D posters, a pair of 3-D glass.  Doesn’t sound to bad yet, but then you get to the trading cards.  You get a chance of getting 1 of 36 cards.  That’s going to be a lot of duplicates to get a full set of the 36 trading cards.

Don’t get me wrong everything looks neat and all and there will be collectors that love this, but for my wallet it’s just beyond my means.

Gaming Diorama at GenCon

GenCon

I just had to share this diorama from the 2015 GenCon, that ICv2 has on their site.  This diorama was built I believe by the company Pulposaurus Entertainment and not a gamer to help gather interest in their KickStarter for the game Conan: Rise of Monsters game they want to produce and launch.  This is just to cool looking!  If they would sell the diorama with the game I think several gamers would be interested.  If you want to check it out jump on over for more information – https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2060871444/conan-rise-of-monsters?ref=nav_search

“Vampires” Abound with The Autumn Stone Music Video

city bird publicityautumn1

The Autumn Stone duo is sharing with us their latest music video for their single “Vampires”.  This single definitely has that psycodelic feel to it.  However, if you can call a psycodelic song tame this one would be in that category.  “Vampires” has that slow feel to it, but not to far out there in it’s musicality.  The music video is probably more out there than the single.  Because the single isn’t to far out there I think it will appeal more to a general audience, but you definitely know they where going for a specific genre when they recorded the single.  Check out the “Vampire” music video from James Cassidy’s YouTube channel – Richard:

The Lucifer television series actually looks pretty good.  I’ve read some of the comic, but not much so I can’t tell how true it will be to the source material, but the trailer looks like it will be a fun and interesting ride.  Thanks to Fox’s YouTube channel for the trailer:

Patternist Releases the Lyric Video for “Gone”

musepatternest

The Patternist comes to us by way of Portland and gives everyone a taste of his ElectoPop music with his lyric video for “Gone”.  The beat to the single is catchy and keeps the listener interested in the single, however the vocals, to me, blend in to much with the instruments and at times is even over powered by the instruments.  Gabe has a singing voice I want to hear more of.  So for me tone down the instruments and give us those vocals for everyone to hear and appreciate.  Check out the lyric video for “Gone” from Patternist’s YouTube channel – Richard:
