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.
News from around the net related to comic books, graphic novels, manga, anime, and movies.
Hamish Anderson is given everyone a 1980’s feel with his latest “No Good”. This harkens back to that good old rock sound with the electric guitar being the star instrument. Hamish’s voice is a clear strong baritone that grounds the single perfectly.
The music video itself is done well. If spot lights the band with a performance video. To me though this song is one to listen to and appreciate, more than to watch. Check out “No Good” through Hamish Anderson’s YouTube channel – Richard:
Captive State looks interesting. Have to wait until next year to see it, but the Crew here might have to check it out. Thanks to MovieClips Trailers YouTube channel for the trailer:
Sheridan Reed is giving everyone a soulful single with his latest “We Should Both Be Here”. The single has the tapping drum stick that keeps the single moving forward, otherwise this single could easily fall into being to slow. However, like I said, Sheridan avoids this with the stead beat. The rest of the instrumentals and vocals flow around this beat in a seamless easy flowing single.
The music video takes it’s ques from the single with a slow panning aspect that captures the rhythm of the song. Look for Sheridan Reed’s album when it becomes available, until then enjoy the music video for “We Should both Be Here” from his YouTube channel – Richard:

Get your metal fix with ORISSA and their single “Resurrection”, the title track from their latest LP. The beginning is a little uneven, but once the band navigates through that little bit, they hit their stride through the rest of the single.
With the lyric video being animated you know they had me hooked. I loved the computer generated imagery. This imagery will generate interest from people that enjoy fantasy gaming.
Check out ORISSA’s lyric video here for “Resurrection”, from their YouTube channel, then be sure to find their album, Resurrection, on your digital vendor of choice – Richard:

Constar animation at the beginning looks very nice. Introductions of the crew was an interesting concept (keeping them faceless until the wide shot). Capt Minard just looks pissed (going to have to find out who stole you’re pizza rolls). Don’t know if this is the direction you are going in but the statement about the Constar doing the jobs “no one else will” lends to Section 31. I like the concept of Section 31 having a starship attached to them. Could lead to some interesting stories. Warp speed ahead Mate you got my interest.
