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.
If Two Brothers is anything like Gabriel Ba and Fabio Moon’s Daytripper then it will be an outstanding read and work of art. Daytripper is one that I think is a most have of graphic novel collections and even though I haven’t seen it I strongly suggest that you take a look at it. These are not your action adventure yarns by any means Daytripper was a well thought out drama, which it sounds like Two Brothers will be as well. It is slated for an October release from Dark Horse.
Shaheen gives us that back street beat with his sound in his latest single “Flashbulbs”. This one has a Stray Cats feel to me….I love the beat of that style of music. It just gets me going. Listen to “Flashbulbs” for yourself through SoundCloud to see what you think about it – Richard:
The Splinter Cell: Echoes graphic novel that was announced awhile back is available to purchase. Check your favorite comic book/book sellers to get your copy before they are sold out. Since it was done by a smaller publisher supplies might not be as large as other titles. Check out the announcement video from a couple of years ago on Ubisoft’s YouTube channel:
Oulipo’s, “Blue Flames” has a great beat that visually stimulates the listener. For me what I immediately went to in my head was a series or film in the vain of a Miami Vice. “Blue Flames” has definitely sparked my interest in Oulipo and will see what else they will be releasing. Take a listen to “Blue Flames” through SoundCloud – Richard:
Here is the trailer for Lee Kelly’s City of Savages. Very minimalistic, don’t know if it really invokes a feeling in me to go out a read it. Thanks to Wandering Bridge Bands YouTube channel for the trailer:
Here is Jennie Vee’s single from her upcoming EP Spying, “Lips Like Sugar”. I haven’t listened to the complete EP yet, but with this single Jennie blends her voice in with the instruments. I’m not sure if this is going to be ongoing or if the blending is just for this single. With this style it really had a feel like something the Bangles would have put out back in the day. Yes I made a Bangles reference, nothing wrong with that, I enjoyed the Bangles and I enjoyed Jennie’s “Lips Like Sugar”. There was also a nice mid-section where the guitar got a nice solo in which doesn’t always happen these days. Check out Jennie Vee’s music video for “Lips Like Sugar” from her YouTube channel – Richard:
CBS doesn’t want to be out done. They have released a trailer for their upcoming Supergirl series. The trailer is long but it not bad. This actually looks to be interesting and fun. So far I have enjoyed what DC Comics has done with their television entries. Check out the trailer from CBS’ YouTube channel:
The MuseBox and Andrew Johnston are sharing his latest music video with us for his single “Night Owl”. Check it out and then you can also jump over to his YouTube channel for other videos:
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.
Those that enjoy the psychedelic genre will enjoy Buffalo Rodeo’s latest music for “Blue Sky”. The single actually has a good beat and the lyrics aren’t as slurred as in some psychedelic music. Now the music video itself has a strong psychedelic feel to it….So take a trip with Buffalo Rodeo with their music video “Blue Sky” they are sharing from their YouTube channel – Richard:
