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.
Joe Kelly and J.M. Ken Niimura’s I Kill Giants graphic novel is in the works to become a live action film. Treehouse Pictures has selected Chris Columbus to produce the film and Anders Walter to direct. This is one of those titles that every library should have on their shelves.
Mandi Perkins and Dillon Pace, make up the band of Verona, and they have currently released the single “Stay Gold”. Their music is Synth influenced, but with a heavy beat in this single. It feels like it will be a power ballad but it never hits that hard chorus that you expect after the buildup. Instead they pulled back and kept the lyrics softer. It’s an interesting mixture and worked well for them. Check out “Stay Gold” through SoundCloud – Richard:
Very cool short film. If you are a fan of 1980’s style animation you will enjoy it even more. Great job by: Paul Johnson, artist/animator; Zakir Rahman, music; and Joseph Leyva, sound effects. Enjoy
What if there was an Empire-focussed short Star Wars animation, drawn with the crazy detail and shading of classic 80s anime that’s all but vanished from Japan nowadays?
Well, I tried my best. Apologies in advance for not living up to Venus Wars standards.
Drawn and animated by yours truly over 4 years’ worth of weekends, with music by the living guitar solo Zak Rahman and sound design by up and coming audio technician Joseph Leyva. Fans of Lucasarts’ seminal 1994 TIE Fighter game may notice a few familiar sights and sounds. That “incoming missile” noise gives me horrible flashbacks to this day…Official poster art: http://mightyotaking.deviantart.com/a…
“Interdictor,” the music track: https://soundcloud.com/zakrahman/tie-…
Story/character info pdf file: http://www.mediafire.com/view/cpnc1oj…Special thanks to the good folk at Lucasfilm for encouraging people to get creative and make these kind of projects. It’s thanks to their extremely fan-friendly nature that we can enjoy IMPS: The Relentless, TROOPS, etc.
Don’t support me on Patreon, because I don’t have one! And don’t donate to my Kickstarter, because I don’t have one of those either. Instead, if you enjoyed this, give someone at your workplace, uni, school or whatever a random bar of chocolate or can or Coke or something. Seriously, it’ll probably make their day.
That would totally make my day.
Ever have one of those groups you just like. That’s is happening with me with The Score. They have released their second single “Catching Fire” and I still love their style. You have to check them out, I believe the vast majority will like them and want to download their songs. Anyway enough rambling listen to The Score’s “Catching Fire” through SoundCloud – Richard
Check out Helldivers that came out at the first of the month for PS4, PS3, and the Vita. Look like a decent entry into the SciFi gaming genre:
“This Moment (Eckhart Tolle)” is the latest release from Janine and the Mixtape. Janine’s voice just captures me from the start. The transition from the verse to the chorus hit just right to give “This Moment” an extra push with the down beat. The music video is also enjoyable to watch…great job all around. Check out “This Moment (Eckhart Tolle)” on their YouTube channel – Richard:
This series looks to be a good read. The final installment of Patrick Carman’s Pulse Series, Quake, came out last month. We have the trailer for the first book here thanks to HarperTeen’s YouTube channel. If you didn’t catch this one when it came out you might want to go back and check it out. I’ve placed it on my ever growing reading list.
The fans of WizKids’ HeroClix get a new set coming this November. The new set is entitled DC HeroClix: Superman/Wonder Woman. No exact number of pieces that will be in the set, but these three above are slated to be in the set, but things can always change as collectors and gamers know.
