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.
FOX’s YouTube channel has officially released the trailer for the upcoming television series Gotham. It looks decent, but I’m kind of on the fence with this one. I’ll have to watch some episodes to see if I can get into the show. Anyway check out the trailer below:
July will see quite a bit of new product coming out of Bushiroad. If you collections have these two trading card games then get ready to spend some money.

Everyone is gearing up for Star Wars Rebels. This is one I will have to catch on DVD or Blu-ray because we don’t get Disney XD. Thanks to the “Star Wars” channel on YouTube for the following trailer:
Boy Epic’s ‘Paralyzed’ is the perfect example for less is more. The flowing, softer instrumental’s lets the listener actually hear the lyrics. The slower tempo also allows us to understand the lyrics. I love the new idea of how love feels, everyone’s heard tons of love songs and sometimes they can all start to blend together. ‘Paralyzed’ sticks out because of the ballad feel of it mixed with creative lyrics. The video went very well with the song, it complemented it in all the right ways. I’ve talked about how I hate videos that are just words but there is a difference between those videos and Boy Epic’s. Instead of forcing the listener to also read multiple slides he is keeping their interest by slowly unveiling what the picture and word is. It keeps the listener engaged and they’re less likely to exit out of the video. I also really enjoy Boy Epic’s unique sense of style and how he is photographed. Prince reboot, anyone?

I hope everyone is ready for FCBD. Our library has our issue out and ready. I know of one other library that is participating. So check with your local library as another source for free comic books. Be sure to visit the Free Comic Book Day website: http://www.freecomicbookday.com/Home/1/1/27/992
On the site, on the left hand bar, is a search box so you can put in your location and it will locate the nearest comic book store retailer so you can attend on Saturday.
Also, as I mentioned in the Amazing Spider-Man 2 post, you can see the movie Friday and attend FCBD on Saturday or do FCBD on Saturday and that afternoon or evening go see Amazing Spider-Man 2.
This is the only wide release movie happening this weekend. You can see this two ways. See it Friday before Free Comic Book Day and then on Saturday go to your local comic book store or do Free Comic Book Day on Saturday at your local comic book store and then that afternoon or evening go see Amazing Spider-Man 2. Needless to say this weekend is for comic book fans. Thanks to “Sony Pictures Entertainment’s” channel on YouTube for the following trailer:
This is one of my favorite Manga series and I hope it gets brought over to the North American market. Kindaichi Case Files is about a teenage boy that is board with school because he has an IQ of 180. The only thing that Kindaichi really gets interested in is if a supposedly unsolvable mystery presents itself to him.
Ryosuke Yamada will play Hajime Kindaichi and Haruna Kawaguchi will play Kindaichi’s childhood friend Miyuki Nanase. Both are reprising their roles that they played in two previous Kindaichi specials.
Titan Comics has announced that they will be publishing an adaptation of Michael Moorcock’s Elric: The Ruby Throne. No release date has been set yet, but keep your eye out for later this year, would be my bet.
