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.
Nik has some attitude, but in a good way. She’s got a wild style and with “Relationship” a grooving single. Have fun watching the music video for her single “My Relationship”, featuring Orianthi, through her YouTube channel. It’s fun and I think you will like it – Richard:

The folks over at starwars.com have released some information about the future of the Star Wars franchise. Of course it isn’t a whole lot, but it is interesting. This summer filming will begin for the first stand alone Star Wars movie, entitled Rogue One, starring Felicity Jones. Rogue One is slated for a December 16, 2016 release. Then the next installment of the main movies, Star Wars VIII, is scheduled for a May 26, 2017, release and will be written and directed by Rian Johnson. We will see how much will change between now and then.
“BLU” has a pop techno feel to it that will grab that fan following really fast for the group Verre. The lead singer has a nice clear voice that I enjoy and I like the beat that they have with the music. Only a few spots within the single that I didn’t really enjoy but that is just a matter of taste. Take a listen to Verre’s “BLU” through SoundCloud – Richard:
DC Comics have released the above images of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman in new costumes, through HitFix and we got them from ICv2, after the current “Convergence” storyline running through the titles. The fans just not that long ago went with new costumes for DC’s “New 52”. I wish sometimes these companies would leave things alone. If it works why mess with it. I could handle the minor changes with the “New 52” costumes, but these I don’t know? Maybe they will grow on me or it’s just temporary.
The Pokemon franchise is adding another film to their credits. This July, in Japan, the Pokemon Company of Japan will be releasing the latest Pokemon film entitled Pokemon the Movie XY: Ring no Chomajin Hoopa. This being part of the Pokemon universe you can almost be positive that this movie will get a North American DVD/Blu-Ray release. Here is the trailer from the Pokemon Company Japan’s YouTube channel:
The latest from Ultra Violent Rays is just as moody as the first one we got to listen to from them. With “Vegas” Ultra once again pulls you in with their sound and they don’t let you go until you have finished the single. You can check out “Vegas” by following this link to Surviving the Golden Age website that has the premiere – Richard
“Taken” is the title track from her upcoming debut EP, Taken. This single is one that when listening to the verses of the song the vocals and instrumentals clash a little and compete against each other. This is a specific style and I’ve heard other pieces that do this same thing. It took me a couple of times to really get into this song because of that clash and then I was used to it and had no trouble. Have a good chorus helped me give “Taken” multiple listenings and really tied this piece together nicely. Check it out through SoundCloud – Richard:
