The 2015 Comic That Made Wes Cry: The Mighty Thor

017I’ve been asked what made me sad in comics in 2015, and it took about two seconds consideration to come to my conclusion. Jason Aaron’s The Mighty Thor. Let me be clear about one thing right off the hammer, I wasn’t sad about the delivery, the script, the art, the plot, or the direction. There’s nothing wrong with the comic. It’s actually what’s so devastatingly right about it that got to me. Continue reading ‘The 2015 Comic That Made Wes Cry: The Mighty Thor’

The 2015 Film That Made Shohan Cry: Inside Out.

The 2015 film that made Shohan cry: Inside Out.Be warned, there are spoilers ahead for Inside Out.  There’s just no way to talk about this movie and why it effected me so much without going into the details.

I feel like 2015 was the year of surprise hits.  You go in expecting to see some by the numbers idea that you’ve seen a million times, only to walk out with a completely different perspective.  And that is exactly what happened for me with Inside Out.  I was fully prepared for a somewhat amusing kids movie with a few adult jokes thrown in to keep people interested.  But low and behold I got an emotional gut punch from outta no where!

Star Wars: Obi-Wan & Anakin #1

Marvel Star WarsIssue 1 of Star Wars: Obi-wan & Anakin came out 1/6/16, and I’m going to talk about it, because it’s Star Wars, and what other explanation is needed? Before all that though, let’s take a look at how Marvel came to produce first issues for Star Wars for the first time in decades.

The juggernaut that is Disney already owned Marvel Comics by the time they acquired Lucas Films, so the writing had to be on the wall for Dark Horse Comics, who’d been publishing Star Wars comics for twenty-five years. After all, what were the chances that Disney would allow one of their properties to compete with another? The answer is no chance. Continue reading ‘Star Wars: Obi-Wan & Anakin #1’

Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Kahn – Deluxe Vinyl re-issue available on Jan. 13th from Mondo.

Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Kahn - Deluxe Vinyl re-issue available on Jan. 13th from Mondo.From “Mondo” comes the original score for the classic film “Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Kahn” composed by James Horner.  This deluxe re-issue is pressed on 180 Gram 2XLP Mutara Nebula colored Vinyl, features breathtaking original artwork by Matt Taylor, exclusive liner notes by Devin Faraci, and has been remastered for Vinyl by James Plotkin.

The score for the first Star Trek film, “Star Trek: The Motion Picture”, was composed by Jerry Goldsmith.  So needless to say, Horner had some big shoes to fill when taking on it’s sequel.  Luckily for us, he wholeheartedly lived up to the challenge.  I have always been a huge fan of the late great James Horner.  You’ve probably heard his music from James Cameron’s “Aliens” in a bunch of movie trailers, or his unforgettable themes from the box office juggernaut “Titanic”.  But my personal favorite, hands down, has to be his score for the Don Bluth animated film “The Land Before Time”.  Maybe I saw it at JUST the right moment when I was a kid, but that music really knows EXACTLY how to tug on your heart strings.  “Wrath of Kahn” is no different.  Having one of the most heart breaking scenes in Star Trek history, this Vinyl release is a must have for any self respecting Trekkie or Trekker.

Usagi Yojimbo 151, The Bride

UsagiUsagi Yojimbo has been around for thirty-one years, literally as long as I’ve been alive, and it’s still going strong. That is a huge feat for a comic, as many series usually run start to finish in the span of several years, not decades. This duration is a testament to the quality of the work. No comic could ever hope to last this long if it weren’t stellar, as this series proves time and again. I’m not lumping this title in with old school super hero titles such as Batman or Spiderman. Those series have been around for long time, sure, but they are handed off from writer to writer, from artist to artist, and rebooted on such a regular basis that it becomes difficult to perceive them as one, continuous body of work. Usagi Yojimbo, however, is precisely that; one massive body of work created, written, and illustrated by Stan Sakai. Continue reading ‘Usagi Yojimbo 151, The Bride’
