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.
Former President Bill Clinton has provided a blurb for the back cover of March Book One graphic novel. The trilogy is based on the life of Congressman John Lewis through the civil rights movement. How many people whether a book, movie, or a graphic novel get a Presidential endorsement. Not many, great job Top Shelf. Look for the first book this August.
Dusk Maiden of Amnesia has a scheduled release date of June 4 from Sentai Works. The complete series will be available on Blu-ray and DVD. The title looks to be more suited for High School level and up, because of the maturity level and darker story. Thanks to “songgnv3” on YouTube for the following trailer:
This one is more my speed. I have always liked science fiction and After Earth looks to be interesting. Thanks to “movieclips TRAILERS” on YouTube for the following trailer:
Now You See Me comes out this week. It’s a little bit of a different type of show, but it looks interesting. Thanks to “movieclips TRAILERS” on YouTube for the following trailer:
I Will, I Swear is a group that comes to us from Belgium. The track we have for you to listen to is the song “Sleep”. I love the piano being the key instrument. Then about one and a half minutes in bells come in as the back ground music, this is the part of the song I love. Then at about two minutes in an instrumental interlude comes in with the rest of the band leading into a crescendo, then back to the piano. The singers voice is very pleasant to listen to, she has a nice tone to her voice. Very nice, I really like this song.

Calab Hawley is a Harlem based artist, who has released three albums. “Little Miss Sunshine” is from his upcoming fourth album. This song is inspired by his eight year old niece being bullied. The song has a good message about being who you are and not somebody else. It kind of feels like a late ’60’s to early ’70’s style of music. So if you are into that time period you will like this song. Give it a listen, I think you will enjoy it.

This summer Universal Studios Japan is going for the first horror survival attraction in an amusement park with a Resident Evil attraction. What a blend horror and amusement. Anyway, the attraction will be called “Biohazard The Real”. The people going through the attraction will have a model gun to use against the zombies and one of the characters to take out will be a 6 1/2 foot tall Tyrant, made by Shinichi Wakasa. This sounds so cool, but I don’t think we will be getting anything like this in the U.S.
This Friday from 5:45 – 10:00 in the morning, Central Time, make sure to listen to Q97, Continuous Country. April, ComicPop’s music reviewer,will be Co-Hosting the Bruce in the Morning Show with Bruce Enrietto. Knockem’ dead April, accept no prisoners. You don’t let the ComicPop Crew get away with anything, so don’t let Bruce off the hook.
