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.
Dark Horse Comics is starting a new series by Greg Pak and Mirko Colak entitled Kingsway West. For the comic book readers that like to buy the individual issues the first issue is available. For those that like their comic books in collected editions, Dark Horse is pretty good about collecting their series so you can add the title to your collections. You’ll just have to wait a few months. Here’s the trailer through Dark Horse’s YouTube channel:
I don’t care what other people have to say I’m still excited to see Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice this weekend and will more than likely enjoy it. Is it because I’m a child of DC…probably. You can’t compare DC to Marvel in my eyes. They are completely different philosophies and I enjoy both because of these differences. Marvel is about the every day man or woman receiving powers and how they handle them. DC is about the mythology and their characters have always been about the characters having god like powers. And the main reason to enjoy this movie is that it is just a movie to take you away from the real world for a few hours. When you go in to watch any comic book based movie or any movie for that matter go in to the theater ready to relax and enjoy the story and effects. Yes you can point out flaws every story and person has them, but you don’t have to tear it or them down. Just my own meandering…go enjoy and have fun with it! – Richard Thanks to MovieClips Trailers for this trailer:
If you are a comic book collector like I am and you haven’t been down the cereal aisle in you local grocer you might want to go down it. General Mills is doing another DC Comics promotional and this time it is with the upcoming Batman v Superman movie. Their are four mini comic books that are randomly inserted in five different cereals. The cereal boxes to look for are: Cocoa Puffs; Trix; Lucky Charms; Golden Grahams; and Honey Nut Cheerios. I’ve gotten one issue so far, just three more to go.
Black Panther returns to the shelves in a new comic book series in Spring of 2016. Best of all bestselling author Ta-Nehisi will be writing the first year long story arc entitled “A Nation Under Our Feet”. Illustrations for the series will be provided by Brian Stelfreeze. Thanks to ICv2 for the heads up.
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:
BOOM! Studios has announced that it now has the license for the Saban Brands to begin producing new Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comic books.

Picture of a black suited Daredevil. Hopefully this is just a beginning design like in the comic book comparison of when Murdock first dressed up. For me we need the red costume for it to be Daredevil, something like the red costume pictured above. Anyway check out Netflix’s exclusive Daredevil series trailer from Marvel Entertainment’s YouTube channel:
Titan Comics is debuting it’s newest title Scarlett Couture. Titan is pretty good about gathering it’s comic book series into collected editions so if you are a loose collector or a collected editions collector, this might be a fun one to add to your collection.

CBS has announced that Melissa Benoist has been cast for the role of Kara Zor-El/Supergirl. The network has made a firm commitment with this series so it should debut next Fall. I have to admit I’m enjoying all the superhero love going on right now on TV.
