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.
Logan and I have been reading the manga of Twin Star Exorcists and have been enjoying the story. The manga is rated “T” for Teen so I would think the anime would be a TV 13 and Up. Part one of Twin Star Exorcists is coming available so if you like to wait until the whole season is collected you will have to wait a little longer. However, if you purchase part 1’s and part 2’s, part 1 is available now. Thanks to FUNimation’s YouTube channel for the trailer:

I do love me some military action movies and then you throw in submarine warfare…Can’t wait to see Hunter Killer. Here’s the trailer through MovieClips Trailers YouTube channel:
Beachwood Coyotes’ is sharing with us their new single “Terror”. The speed of the instrumentals compared to the lyrics you would think they would clash. However, it doesn’t. What I’m referencing is the verse is much faster than the instrumentals. When the chorus hits the vocals slow down to meet the instrumentals. Very interesting, but it works.
I also love hearing the piano or at least a keyboard being a part of the single. The single has that flowing pop rhythm that many will enjoy. Here’s Beachwood Coyotes’ “Terror” that you can sway your body to through SoundCloud – Richard:
DC is amping up their titles by introducing a mature readers imprint. The imprint is call DC Black Label and the first couple of stories will revolve around Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. These stories will not necessarily be in continuity with the rest of the DC stories. Here’s a short trailer that DC has put up on their YouTube channel:

Lego has a new set coming out August 1 that many will be wanting to pickup. It’s just not a new Lego set, but it’s a Voltron The Legendary Defender Lego set. You get to build all five lions and then they can attach together to form Voltron! This one will appeal to all the Lego fans, but also the anime fans. Check out the YouTube video that Lego made for their YouTube channel:
Polartropica is sharing with our listeners her music video for her single “Golden Soul”. The single has a soft rock feel to it. During the chorus though the bass beat picks up and the sound elevates to a nice crescendo and then back down to the softness of the verse.
The vocals have any airy feel to them that lends to an ethereal quality to the single. I really enjoyed this as a single and then you get the fun of watching the video directed by White Star.
It is actually a music video that tells a story not just he person or group singing. I love it when artists want to go the extra mile. With this video the viewer is given basically a superhero short film. Parts of the video gives you feels of a J- or K-Pop music video with its strangeness, but strangeness in a good way. Cause we love us some J- and K-Pop here at ComicPop
Enjoy watching Polartropica’s “Golden Soul” music video through her YouTube channel – Richard:
