News from around the net related to comic books, graphic novels, manga, anime, and movies.
They Call Him Zone gives us that European dance club feel with his music video for his single “Death Drive”. Another great song for the Halloween season. With an electro/psychedelic sound the single has the right amount of darkness, but still has that bass beat for the club. Take a ride with They Call Him Zone and his music video for “Death Drive” through his YouTube channel – Richard:

Thanks to ICv2 for letting us know about this holiday gift idea.
The Dot And The Line is sharing with our listeners then Synth single “Wait For You”. With the beat that the duo have given this single it has a little bit of edge and darkness to it. But the lyrics are one that most want to hear from the one the love…that “I’ll wait for you”. The lead vocals are done in a what I would call a feathery aspect that softens the bass beat with a nice contrasting sound. Check out The Dot And The Line’s “Wait For You” through SoundCloud – Richard:

This looks good. Godzilla is getting another release, but this time it is an animated film. So for all us anime/animation fans, like me, this is cool and the trailer looks really nice. The film is entitled Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters and it will be opening in Japan on November 17 and then Netflix will be getting global streaming afterwards. So those of you with Netflix will get to see this before me. Like everything Netflix I will have to wait until it is released on DVD/Blu-ray. Thanks to ICv2 for linking the studios trailer from the anime company’s YouTube channel:
The Make Pretend’s is giving our listeners a taste of their style with their music video “Sorry I Let You Down”. The style of the single as well as how the music video was shot really harkens back to the late 1980’s, early 1990’s. Even the bands name The Make Pretend gives that 1980’s feeling. So everyone that loves that styling will dig this and the video to boot. “Sorry I Let You Down” is from the band’s album Fortune Factory which is available now and they are letting our listeners check out their video and then go pick up their album. And for those that still love a physical album the band is happy to say you have that option with Fortune Factory. Here’s The Make Pretend’s music video for “Sorry I Let You Down” through their YouTube channel – Richard:

Here’s Ascending Dawn’s music video for “Cannonball” through their YouTube channel – Richard:
