Dollface Arrives At Danger Zone

By Dustin Cabeal

When I wrote this amazing piece about the Kickstarter I had a feeling, it would wind up at Danger Zone, an imprint of Action Lab Entertainment. I actually backed the project, so hopefully, I'll read it before it's released. Either way, it's Dan Mendoza... and I love his comics.

Preview: Grave Lillies from Z2 Comics

By Dustin Cabeal

Hey, Grave Lillies is a comic written by Cullen Bunn and illustrated by George Kambadais. The final order for retailers is today so if you're going to pre-order it with your local shop (which is how this industry works and stays alive) then you should do that today. Here's a preview to entice you. Personally, I want to read the crap out of this book and hope I'll get an early look at it.

Prison School -- Vice Principal Cosplay

By Dustin Cabeal

Hey, when I upload a new theme or uproot the site completely I like to celebrate with a cosplay posting. Not really, I just found this and couldn't resist sharing Katinka Cosplay's (photos by Photosnxs) brilliant recreation of Meiko Shiraki, the vice principal from Prison School. Which is a manga that I've reviewed (Vol. 1, Vol. 2 & 3 and Vol. 4) and also an anime that we've discussed on Super-S: Anime Podcast.

You've Got A Second Chance To See Shin Godzilla

By Dustin Cabeal

If my rave review didn't convince you that should see hin Godzilla, then I don't know what will. The good news for everyone that didn't get to see it, is that due to how well it's doing and how much people are loving it, it's getting more theater dates, including a Saturday! Yeah, I had to see it late on a Thursday, so enjoy that. It's running until October 27th now and if you need to find a theater playing it (you do) then click this link to head over to Funimation's site (Here).

NYCC 2016: Boom and DC Make Weirdest Crossover Yet

By Dustin Cabeal

If you're new to the site, then no that I'm not a fan of Planet of the Apes and I am a fan of Green Lantern. This crossover doesn't excite me in the least bit and really seems like another desperate attempt from BOOM! to get noticed by Diamond so that they'll make them a premiere publisher. "Look, we put that monkey license with the same franchise DC let IDW shit on! Give us premiere status!" This was how I felt upon reading this news and it's the only good thing to come from POTA. The only good thing.

Get Drunk On Hellboy This Halloween

By Dustin Cabeal

I just wanted to write that headline. I have no real feelings towards this. I don't drink, I don't bother people that do because then they could bother me about... my winning personality or something. Point is, you drink, you like Hellboy, you're curious if this wine is gross? Get some, try it. Tell me and I'll call you a sucker, but even then it's better than a Marvel T-shirt.

NYCC 2016: Valiant's Got Exclusive Shirts... And SOCKS!

By Dustin Cabeal

If you follow my annoying as fuck Loot Crate unboxing videos and have seen the talented Justin Wood's banner image then you know I love me some socks! I blame Kevin Beckham for that. Valiant has some pretty cool clothing at the show, I dig their shirts for sure, but those socks... damn I wish I was still going so I could get me a three pack.

Batman Chucks Coming, But They're Pricing AF

By Dustin Cabeal

First off all, the press release doesn't say it, but those are probably fucking Nike's Chuck 2's. If you didn't know, Nike has owned Converse for the better part of my life and while they've kept the original chucks going (sales juggernaut with people who don't like arc support, ankle support and just want to look cool), they've been working out a way to make a comfortable and high end version. Hence, Chuck 2, Batman... $115-125 bucks. Yeah... I like Batman. I like Chucks. I'll keep my money and spend it on some Under Armors that feel like clouds kissing my feet.

Call Me A Hypocrite, But I'd Still Wear This Josie's Shirt

By Dustin Cabeal

You may recall my not so negative, not so positive review of Archie's rebooted Josie and the Pussycats series yesterday. If you don't, read that here. At NYCC they have exclusives because everyone does and while most are variants and such, this shirt stood out. Becuase this artwork made me want to read the series. I love the art by Audrey Mok and so I would wear the fuck out of this shirt. I do wish it was on say a white, pink, orange shirt... anything other than black. It doesn't pop on black. If you're at NYCC it's $25 bucks for the Men's pictured above and the Women's V-Neck below.

NYCC 2016: BOOM! Picks Up A Matt Kindt and Tyler Jenkins Untitled Project

By Dustin Cabeal

I'm not going to lie, BOOM!'s "Road to NYCC" has been littered with the usual announcements. An ongoing WWE book? Not that different from SDCC. More Jim Henson? To be expected. And I get it, they need to hype books its the nature of the beast. I just haven't particularly gotten excited for any of them until this one. That said, I'm confused sometimes by this industry. I mean, it's Matt Kindt and Tyler Jenkins... what publisher would pass on a book from these two? None, but then how did BOOM! land them? I'm curious about their creator-owned deals, but I got a feeling I'm not the person they'll discuss that with.

NYCC 2016: Dark Horse Announces Empowered's Next Villain... Love

By Dustin Cabeal

I'm always excited for more Empowered. I wish it was ongoing, but I'll take it whenever Adam Warren is willing to make it. He's teamed up with Karla Diaz on art and her stuff is fantastic. It's perfect for the series and I am really looking forward to read the hell out of this series. This is probably one of my top announcements from NYCC.

More Nerd Jackets To Keep You Warm On Those Lonely Winter Nights

By Dustin Cabeal

Fun.com is back with more comic book coats! You may recall this other post I did about their suits and these are in line with that. The big difference being that the "cosplay" snow coats actually work out pretty damn well. I still lean towards the "secret identity" style myself. I absolutely love that Justice League one. Not just the liner, but the style of the coat as well. If you have kids, then let them wear the cosplay stuff since that's the only time it's really cute on someone. For more, check out their page. In the meantime, I'm going to hope for more from Fun.com because I really like this new trend. It's way better than the shit we talked about on this week's podcast.
