Comic Review: Siege #2
Siege 2
Penciled by Olivier Coipel Written by Brian Michael Bendis
This second issue of the story is good but not breaking much new ground. Personally, I am continuously scratching my head when it comes to the character of The Sentry. I just don't like the idea of dragging a character's story out forever as a plot. I am glad to see Steve Rogers back in the fold and am thinking we missed a story somewhere of watching the world embrace Cap being back, especially so soon after the Skrull Invasion. Wouldn't they be a little on edge of a possible impostor?
Oh wait…I read New Avengers. Spiderwoman has a special device issued to her from S.W.O.R.D. that can determine if anyone is an alien.
Anime DVD Review: 20th Century Boys, Part 2: The Last Hope
If you are interested in becoming a maniacal world leader of a deadly cult and want to find the "How To" handbook (like me), I would recommend that you spend a few hours of your time becoming familiar with 20th Century Boys. I know that I now have several "Book of Prophecies" completed and that in just a matter of time I will put one of them into action and begin my meteoric rise. So, be ready!
DVD Review: Soul Eater – Part One
OK Captain, buckle up and get ready for one of the wildest rides you have been on in some time. Let's take the vibrant color palette and easy-flowing character images of an early Disney and add to it the crazy dark supernatural world of the Far East, shake it all around and then pour it out like a lively modernist jazz composition and you will have Soul Eater.
DVD Review: Naruto Shippuden Box Set 1
After 220 episodes, Studio Pierrot, Hayato Date, the director and the creator Masashi Kishimoto understood that they had come to a crossroads. Their beloved and wildly popular show had begun to stagnate. What to do? Many bright people would try to milk their golden cow for everything they could and just let it die a tragic death. This is not the case for our beloved hyperactive hero Naruto.
Book Review: Yashakiden, the Demon Princess, Volume 1
It is a city unlike any other. Once a part of a thriving metropolis, it has been set apart, upended and uprooted by the Devil Quake. And now it is what it is – the Demon City Shinjuku, a demonic wilderness which serves as a lodestone, attracting demons and non-demons alike. But be careful where you go into this rather possessed city, for things are not always as they seem, especially not after dark, for there are many things here that go bump in the night. And the sensible citizens of Shinjuku know better than to try to cross them.
