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.
Here is one that looks a little different, Waking the Merrow by Heather Rigney. This one is about mermaids and that they are not the most friendly of individuals. You can pick this one up in a physical format or now download it as an e-book. Check out the book trailer from the author’s YouTube channel:
Lady Low is starting our run of Christmas music that our talented musicians share with us during the holiday’s. This one, in the Lady Low tradition, is a little sad as you can tell with the title of “Lonely Christmas”. However, this is a very good single that I think everyone will enjoy. Some will relate to the song specifically others might not, but it is one of those singles that just grabs you and won’t let go. Great performance by Lady Low and thank you for sharing “Lonely Christmas”, through SoundCloud, with the ComicPop Library listeners – Richard:
Catching up on Green Lantern recently and I didn’t realize that the Green Lantern Mythos celebrated their 75th Anniversary in November. DC Entertainment put together a timeline of the different variations of Green Lantern on their YouTube channel…kind of cool. Of course I am a Green Lantern fan.

The Haganai anime is getting a fresh release from FUNimation on December 8, to get everyone ready for Haganai Next. This one is fun to watch, but it is rated MA. You figure when you are dealing with teenagers and are going to have jokes and fan service. Check out the trailer through FUNimation’s YouTube channel:
Z is giving the ComicPop Library listeners another track from his upcoming EP. This single is entitled “For The Mad Ones” which is the title track of the EP. Z just has this vibe that I seem to identify with really easily. When I first heard him come in on this single I went straight to Hall & Oates, so that will kind of give you the style of this single and the tone of Z’s voice. So here is “For The Mad Ones” that Z is sharing with us through SoundCloud – Richard:
Ep 38 ComicPop Visits with the Director of “A Good Day to Die”, Rene Perez Pt. 1

This Visit took place right after a winter storm and Rene was a trooper with the difficulties we had with Skype for Part 1 of the interview, Michelle said it added character to the episode.

This is just to cool! Build-A-Bear is offering for Pre-Order a pre-stuffed Pikachu that comes with a Poke Ball hoodie, Charizard, a sound card, and an exclusive Build-A-Bear Pikachu CCG card. It might not get here for the holidays, but it would be a neat present for any Pikachu/Pokemon fan. Usually if we do this we print the picture and put it in a box for them to unwrap and then when the actual item arrives we give the actual present to them at that time. This allows for the person to have something to open at Christmas time. Here’s the link to order yours:
