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.
Spider-Man’s next major story arc is set to hit this March with Amazing Spider-Man # 797. The storyline is entitled “Go Down Swinging” and features the Green Goblin and the new Red Goblin. So all you Spidey fans get ready for the ride. For those that like collected editions don’t worry it will eventually hit in a collected graphic novel, you’ll just have to wait a bit. Thanks to Marvel’s YouTube channel for the trailer:
Sayantani DasGupta’s The Serpent’s Secret, the first book in her Kiranmala and the Kingdom Beyond series looks to be an interesting Young Adult title coming out this February from Scholastic. So if you are looking to start a new series this year you might give this one a try. Thanks to Scholastic’s YouTube channel for the trailer:
We get another entry into the film industry from a novel. This time it is an adaptation from Philip Reeves novel Mortal Engines. This is the first of a trilogy that Reeves has wrote and looks to be a very nice looking steam punk/post apocalyptic thriller. Here’s the trailer through MovieClips Trailers YouTube channel:
IDW Publishing has introduced a new Snake Eyes to the world of G. I. Joe and readers. The story is written by, long time G. I. Joe scribe, Larry Hama with art by Netho Diaz, who also did the cover art that we have pictured. The story takes the memories of Snake Eyes and implants them into a different person. Now remember G. I. Joe, even though is in a fairly present day setting, still uses fantastical storytelling, so just enjoy and have fun with it. The story lines runs through issue #246 – #250, of G. I. Joe: A Real American Hero, and will be collected afterwards by IDW for libraries and those that like collected editions rather than issues. Here’s the trailer from IDW’s YouTube channel:
As part of Tatsunoko Production’s 55th Anniversary this year they produced an Inini-T Force anime series and film, part of the Gatchaman franchise. AnimeNews Network has reported that Viz Media has picked up the distribution rights for both so hopefully we’ll see them here in the North American market. The trailer below is for Inini-T Force the Movie: Farewell Gatchaman My Friend. Gatchaman was my first true dive into anime so I for one am definitely looking forward to this release. Here’s the trailer from Tatsuoko’s YouTube channel:
I know it is after Christmas, but this came in from Presley Tennant and I wanted to feature it. This fits in with our last post for our Christmas podcast discussing the manga, Sweet Rein. Presley covers Ariana Grande’s “Santa Tell Me” to share the Christmas joy with everyone. Presley gives our listeners a great rendition of this single with a pure voice that shines through. The music video has a young feel to it that makes it fun to watch. It’s going to be exciting to see what other presents Presley will give listeners this next year. So take a moment after your holiday season to remember the weekend with Presley Tennant’s music video, where she covers “Santa Tell Me”, from her YouTube channel – Richard:
Presley Tennant is sharing with our listeners her new single and music video “BFF” that features Well Written. I love the spin Presley has put on the “BFF” meaning, because we’ve all had them, and to know what I mean you will have to watch and listen to her music video. Anyway “BFF” lands squarely in the pop genre. Presley is full of energy in her singing that is shown in this single with its upbeat fast tempo. But she didn’t stop there. In her music video she delivers a ton of energy as well, which captures the viewer to watch it. I love upbeat tempo in my music and this one hits it perfectly for me. Yes, the single is a little snarky, but that’s part of the appeal. Have some fun by checking out Presley Tennant’s “BFF” music video from her YouTube channel – Richard:
Remember that IDW Publishing has had the Star Trek license for some time now. So for all the SciFi and Star Trek fans out there and any libraries that might not have had them in their collection, be sure to look for IDW’s many collected editions of their Star Trek comic book lines. Here’s a glimpse of what they currently have going on from their YouTube channel:
Logan saw this just the other day and said he really enjoyed it. So if you want something different to see other than Star Wars, he thinks you will enjoy Ferdinand…especially our animation listeners. MovieClips Trailers channel provides the trailer for us:
