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.
So who’s going to Force Friday II? I know I will be going in my area to see what’s what. Hopefully I’ll find the figures I’m wanting tonight or I guess I should say tomorrow morning. Yes it happens at Midnight (12:00 am) Friday Morning. Most of you will probably be doing the overnight sleep thing, but I’ll be doing it just to have some fun.
Hannah Featherstone is giving us “Solo” for our listeners to check out. In this single Hannah plays with a slower smoother tempo that you get through some Jazz pieces. The staccato beat the single carries the listener through the slower jazzy parts of the single. The blending sounds strange, but it works here. The video features Hannah with a static filter to keep the watcher interested in the flow. Here’s Hannah Featherstone’s music video for “Solo” through her YouTube channel – Richard:
FUNimation is has posted a Hurricane Harvey Relief video on the 29, but it is still something that people can help out with. If some of you didn’t know FUNimation is based out of Texas and they want to help out the community affected by Hurricane Harvey. This is a way for you to help as well by joining them in their relief effort. We send out our thoughts and prayers along with so many others for the communities that have been affected by Harvey as I know our listeners do as well. This is just another way you can help out if you are moved to do so. From FUNimations YouTube channel “Hurricane Harvey Relief”:
Ren with the Mane is sharing with our listeners her single “Hypnotize”. Within this single I love the drum beat and the bird calls that make you feel like you are in a jungle. It’s just a great illusion that is placed in you mind as you listen to Ren. “Hypnotize” is a slower song, but the drums and strong bass beat keep the single moving forward to its climatic end. About two thirds of the way into the single the instrumentals swell into a grand sound with additional instruments coming into play. With Ren’s smoky voice she captures the listener and takes you on a journey. Here’s Ren with the Mane’s single “Hypnotize” through SoundCloud – Richard:
IDW is venturing on another mission with Ian Fleming’s James Bond, 007 character. This time it will be a one-shot graphic novel written and drawn by Ibrahim Moustafa.

Eden Warsaw shared with us his single “Somebody Tell Me” a while back. Now he has the music video up for the single and he wanted to share it with our listeners as well. The video is what I call a band video, where the majority of the video focus’ on the band. So here’s Eden Warsaw’s music video for “Somebody Tell Me” through his YouTube channel – Richard:
Wind River looks to be an intense but slow burn of a movie. I could be wrong, but with what the trailer shows and how it is a murder mystery it’s not always about the action, it also deals with the psychological aspects of a case. Looks interesting…here’s the trailer through MovieClips Trailers YouTube channel:
Kris Angelis has given everyone a fun catchy song to enjoy with her “Kevin Bacon” single. Then along with it she, with director Emma Bell, produced a very fun Footloose homage music video for the single for everyone to enjoy. This single is placed in the country/pop arena with Kris’ voice shinning through. You can tell she had fun singing and filming the video for this single. If they haven’t had Kevin Bacon watch this video they definitely need to, I think he would appreciate it. Very interested in listening to her EP Heartbreak is Contagious that everyone can download from their digital vendor of choice. And you know I have to mention the Wonder Woman penciling in the background in the boyfriends bedroom wall, I would love to have that for my collection. Anyway kick back and have a fun time watching and listening to Kris Angelis’ single “Kevin Bacon” through her YouTube channel – Richard
