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.
If you are a comic book collector like I am and you haven’t been down the cereal aisle in you local grocer you might want to go down it. General Mills is doing another DC Comics promotional and this time it is with the upcoming Batman v Superman movie. Their are four mini comic books that are randomly inserted in five different cereals. The cereal boxes to look for are: Cocoa Puffs; Trix; Lucky Charms; Golden Grahams; and Honey Nut Cheerios. I’ve gotten one issue so far, just three more to go.
The Classic Kids is sharing with ComicPop Library listeners again. This time they are giving us their music video for their new single “Drive”. This is another fun song that everyone will get into and have fun with, especially for the fans of 1980’s – 90’s music. They do a nice call back to that time, which I lived through so I really enjoyed this and their other singles. Check it out the “Drive” music video through The Classic Kids YouTube channel – Richard:
Sony has finally released the first Ghostbusters trailer. I’m still not to crazy about the strip in the uniform, but all in all it looks pretty good. I enjoyed the Ghostbusters in the past and it looks like I’ll enjoy this one as well. Thanks to The Ellen Show’s YouTube channel for sharing this after they premiered it during her show:
Jessica Rotter charted at #1 on Hype Machine with her single “Stay/Animal” with Emily Colombier. With this accomplishment in her back pocket Jessica is moving forward with her latest single “Pray for Rain” that is the first release of her upcoming album Plains. “Pray for Rain” has a Pop feel to it that has an enjoyable light beat that immediately grabs you. Her voice has, what I would call, Alto range that comes through strong and clear and compliments the music well. Jessica is sharing “Pray for Rain” with us through SoundCloud and most everyone will enjoy this single. If this is an indication of what the album, Plains, will sound like keep an eye on the digital vendors begin on April 22 to pick it up – Richard:
FUNimation is releasing the complete series of Brothers Conflict next month that anime fans might want to consider adding to their collection. Thanks to Nekelen Tinsley’s YouTube channel for the following trailer:

Friday AKA Ricky Dred is sharing with our listeners again with his latest music video. This time he is spotlighting his single “Highs/Lows” that give a glimpse into what street life can be like for some. The beat is another hard driven beat that sets the tone and then Friday’s low register voice gives the single more weight.
