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.
All the TCG fans here comes the latest Weiss Schwarz booster. The booster will feature Puella Magi Madoka Magica The Movie – Rebellion. The booster set will be 100 cards, plus 22 parallels. You can start looking for them at your local gaming stores in September.
It looks like American Gods by Neil Gaiman might make it to the small screen. Starz has ordered a first season through Freemantle Media. Neil Gaiman will be the executive producer while Bryan Fuller and Michael Green will be writing and adapting the novel for the series. If this is as good as the novel was, I’ll be checking it out.
Marvel is trying to tap into all the adults that still love to color. I myself have to admit to coloring in a coloring book every now and again. Marvel is producing three to test the market over the next year. The first coloring book will be out in October for $7.99 and will be entitled Avengers: Age of Ultron Coloring Book and will have 72 pages of artwork from professional artists in the industry. Then in February 2016, Marvel will release Little Marvel by Skottie Young Coloring Book and the last coloring book will be released in May 2016, Civil War Coloring Book. These are meant for adult audiences and I can see people buying two…one to save the artwork and one to actually color in, but the question will be will adults pay $7.99 for a coloring book? We will see.
Check it out the first trailer for DC’s Legends of Tomorrow television series, from CW Television Network’s YouTube channel. Side note to Michelle, it has Firestorm in it. Firestorm is one of her favorite characters. Anyway it looks like Legends of Tomorrow might be pretty good.
The CW has agreed to terms to air the Arrow/Flash spin-off. The series title will be DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. The story line will be:
“When heroes alone are not enough… the world needs legends. Having seen the future, one he will desperately try to prevent from happening, time-traveling rogue Rip Hunter is tasked with assembling a disparate group of both heroes and villains to confront an unstoppable threat — one in which not only is the planet at stake, but all of time itself. Can this ragtag team defeat an immortal threat unlike anything they have ever known?”
Hopefully the creative team for this series will keep up the quality that is associated with the Arrow and Flash.
All you Bushiroad fans and TCG fans in general you will want to start saving back for the companies upcoming releases in the popular Weiss Schwarz trading card game.
