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.
AnimeNews Network has a report that is great news for Death Note fans. Come this October there will be a new Death Note film to add to the story. Shinsuke Sato is directing this near future chapter in which two geniuses inherit DNA from L and Light and are in a war over six Death Notes that are on Earth. The cool news is that, as shown above, Erika Toda will be reprising her role as Misa Amane to help tie in the previous films.
John Dillon released his single “The Fox” from his upcoming album The Lost Estate. “The Fox” has a alternative rock sound to it and the way John’s voice is and the rhythm of the song, “The Fox” comes across a little reminiscent of The Cars. The Lost Estate is John’s debut album and will drop on March 25, so keep an eye on the digital music vendors. You can check out John’s “The Fox” through SoundCloud that he has been kind enough to share with the ComicPop listeners – Richard:
Are you ready for Season 6 of Game of Thrones? HBO is and they are sharing the “Red Band” trailer on the shows YouTube channel:
Anna Rose shared with our listeners her single “Start a War” a while back. She has recently finished up the music video for the single and wanted to share it with the ComicPop listeners. Anna’s EP Strays in the Cut will be available later this spring. Check out the music video below through Anna Rose’s YouTube channel – Richard:
ICv2 is reporting that WGN America has ordered a pilot for the DC Comic’s Vertigo title Scalped. The series will be an adaptation of Jason Aaron and R.M. Guera’s comic book series. If this comes to pass I would expect something on the level of the Walking Dead production, because this is a great story told for a mature audience.

Well at least Yu-Gi-Oh is back in theaters in Japan. The official website for the new movie has begun streaming the trailer for Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Dark Side of Dimensions. You know that this will make its way to the North American market at some point. It might be released in theaters or not, but I’m positive it will get a Blu-ray/DVD release. Thanks to maidigtv’s YouTube channel for the following trailer:
Adam Jensen is sharing his debut single “Sandcastles” with the ComicPop Library listeners. “Sandcastles” is a nice clean and clear pop single. Adam’s voice is strong and confident. The music compliments his voice not the other way around. I also love the instrument play he has in this single. He is playing around with sound and I like it. It also gives the single an alternative feel. Many of us will also appreciate the lyrics and relate to them. Adam is still working on an EP that he plans on releasing later this year and if this is an indication of what will be on it I’m definitely interested in hearing more. Check out Adam Jensen’s “Sandcastles” through SoundCloud, I think you will like it – Richard:
I have posted before about the Diver City Tokyo Plaza, but I wanted to do so again. If you happen to be traveling to Tokyo and love the Gundam franchise Diver City Tokyo Plaza is a stop you will definitely want to visit. If you can’t Ken Ikuhara-Gross has posted several pictures and brief history of the site on animenewsnetwork.com. Above are three of the images he posted in his article. Their are several more and will make you want to make a trip to see the Plaza. On the outside of the Plaza is a life size RX-78-2 Gundam (which is the first picture above) and in the plaza itself is a cafe and memorabilia shop. The 7th floor houses two museums, another gift shop and a Strict-G clothing store. Make the jump over to AnimeNews Network to view all of the other cool photos and thanks to Ken for sharing: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2016-03-04/gundam-front-the-ultimate-tour/.99376
We have spotlighted Elephant 12 a couple of times and done a review podcast for them as well. I really like their energy and I think most of you will to.

Here is Elephant 12’s “All Aboard” through SoundCloud – Richard:
