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.
Didn’t know or think this would happen but it did….Death Note the Musical. HoriPro began streaming a sampling of the songs which you can see below, from their YouTube channel. So Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata get to see another incarnation of their manga and I have to admit listening to some of the songs they aren’t to bad.
For all those that are fans of folk music, Andrew Johnston might be one to watch. He has a sound quality to his voice that reminds you of Tom Petty and Bob Dylan. He is on tour this May, so if he is in your area you might want to check out his live show. To give you a sample of his sound we have his studio video of ‘Living in a Free World” that is from his YouTube channel – Richard:

ICv2 has let everyone know that Steven Moffat, the showrunner for Doctor Who, told the Doctor Who Magazine that the show will continue for the next five years. This news to me is a YES! Can’t tell that I like Doctor Who can you.
We spotlighted MIRK’s single “Let it Go” on an earlier post, now we get to watch the music video for it. The video is a story driven video which I tend to like more than just the band singing in a video. Thanks to The MuseBox and MIRK for providing the video through MIRK’s YouTube channel – Richard:
The Hollywood Reporter has reported that Olivia Wilde and Garrett Hedlund will return for a third Disney, Tron movie. Joseph Kosinski will return as the director as well. Sounds cool to me, but I’m a science fiction fan in general.
Don’t have this one yet, but it is definitely on my radar to pick up. I have been enjoying DC’s animated movies and Throne of Atlantis looks good as well. Thanks to DC Entertainment’s YouTube channel for the trailer:
S.J. Tucker has a dark sultry voice that lends itself well to her music. It has been referred to as Mythpunk. If you would think of where you would see someone with a voice like hers, for me it would be in a jazz club or rhythm and blues club. Her style fits her well so be sure to check her out here with “Black Swan Blues”, which has a great story telling quality- Richard
Both parts of A Certain Magical Index II, from FUNimation, are now available to add to your anime collections. Thanks to FUNimations YouTube Channel for the following trailers:
Our friends at MuseBox wants everyone to go out and see Layne in person when she is in your area. With the release of her EP Warrior she is hitting the road. Check her out at these locations and listen to the single “Warrior” to wet your appetites – Richard:

Hopefully this report will come about, at this point it is just a possibility. Legendary that has the rights to Pacific Rim is looking at doing a four issue comic book mini-series on the title, to be called Tales from the Drift. Also, Universal is in production of a sequel to Pacific Rim that has a current release date for April 7, 2017. I know with this movie people either loved it or hated it, but I happened to like the film so I’m excited.
