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.
Cartoon Network has working with Viz Media to bring an English dubbed version of the anime One-Punch Man to the Network’s Adult Swim Toonami block. The series will debut on July 16 and have new episodes each Saturday. So keep an eye on your local listings for the time and check out the trailer from CineStream’s YouTube channel.

Ahmen is sharing with us the music video for his latest single “Our Time”, featuring Jos J. With everything that is happening in society Ahmen is looking past it to the positive. The message I am getting from this is don’t let the few make us slid backwards. All of us need to overcome and bring the love back for each and everyone of us…because it is “Our Time”! Ahmen and Jos J. give a powerful performance with a message we should all hear Check out Ahmen’s music video for “Our Time” from his YouTube channel and be looking for his album later this Summer – Richard:
Ciara O’Neill is sharing, with the ComicPop listeners, her latest music video for her single “The Ebony Trail”. Ciara uses her voice and acoustic instruments to their haunting abilities. “The Ebony Trail” takes you on a journey that sounds so simple, but for an artist to use restraint is one of the harder things to do. Simplistic is not always simple as I like to say. The animation that Ashling Lindsay uses in the music video is also a simpler style which to me matches to the single’s sound well. This single is one that you would use to reflect or contemplate while listening to Ciara’s debut album, by the same title, The Ebony Trail, which was released this last March. Take in Ciara O’Neill’s, “The Ebony Trail” music video from her YouTube channel – Richard:
The second Jack Reacher movie, Never Go Back, is heading our way this October. I actually enjoyed the first movie and am looking forward to this one. Thanks to Movieclips Trailers YouTube channel for the trailer:
Jason Achilles Mezilis has just released his rock instrumental album Comedown this past June 28th. Jason has been kind enough to share his music video for the single “Panhandle” from that album. Jason is in a world that most people don’t see to often, that being in the world of instrumentalist. If you are like me and you listen to music for the rhythm and beat of a song more than likely you will enjoy instrumental pieces like soundtracks and Jason’s Comedown album, you just don’t realize. “Panhandle” has a bit of a modern western flare to it and the music video carries that flavor over into it as well. The music itself isn’t overbearing and really enjoyable. Definitely interested to hear more from the album. While you enjoy Jason Achilles Mezilis’ music video for “Panhandle” be sure to check out their site or a digital downloader to support the group and their release of Comedown. Here’s “Panhandle” from their YouTube channel – Richard:

Hex by Thomas Olde Heuvelt is being offered through TorForge. This one looks like it might be a little bloody. Horror/Dark Fantasy fans will probably want to check this one out. Thanks to TorForge’s YouTube channel for the trailer:
Part of the ComicPop Crew had the pleasure of meeting and visiting with Scott Novosel, the author of the graphic novel Fieldhouse. Fieldhouse is based on Scott’s experiences on not quitting on your dream and show that no matter how big or small that dream might be it can happen. This would be one that would fit well in any Middle School or lower High School level libraries. We will be uploading our Visit with Scott later this week, but until then here is the book trailer for Fieldhouse and the Theme Song for Fieldhouse for you to enjoy provided from the Fieldhouse YouTube channel. To purchase your copy of Fieldhouse you can visit Scott’s website: http://fieldhousebook.com/

Alice Underground is fast becoming one of my favs. First it was their single and music video “Superman”. Now check out this video they did with “Tank!” the theme from Cowboy Bebop. one of my favorite anime and it fits Alice Underground’s style perfectly. Just pure fun! The video is great and emulates the opening sequence to Cowboy Bebop perfectly. If you are going to go to Anime Expo this weekend be sure to go to Alice Underground’s concert and support them. If you are unable to attend check out the video from their YouTube channel and be sure to look them up on your digital vendors – Richard:
