July 22, 2016

Funimation made two colossal announcements at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. They plan on bringing two giants to the American shores. The company will be releasing both the Live-Action Attack on Titan films and the new Godzilla film in America.

After the release of Legendary studios release of Godzilla in 2014, the King of the Monsters original studio, Toho decided they could do better. They went into production of their own film titled Shin Godzilla (literally “New Godzilla”) and it had already received an American title of Godzilla: Resurgence. Yet despite receiving a name for the specific audience no actual American release date been confirmed. Now through their San Diego Comic-Con panel, Twitter account, and homepage, Anime distribution company Funimation has revealed they will be in charge of Godzilla’s journey to America. No release date has been confirmed yet but the studio hopes it will be sometime this year.

The company also announced they had plans to release the Live-Action Attack on Titan films in physical media forms. They had previously released the films in theaters on a limited run in 2015 but there was no mention of the films being available for fans to add them to their media libraries. Now, both films will released in Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital HD formats with Attack on Titan: The Movie: Part One already having a release date of October 6th, 2016. Part Two has not received a release date but they probably won’t have to wait long.

Are you looking forward to Godzilla making his journey to America? Are you thrilled the Live-Action Attack on Titan will finally be released for you to put in your collection?

Marvel And Netflix Drop A Bunch Of Teasers

Marvel and Netflix are a pretty awesome combination. Both Daredevil and Jessica Jones are great shows that tackle fascinating characters in realistic situations. The grim setting allows for more complex and intriguing stories. Some (like myself) would say that these shows are far superior to the MCU movies. So hype is at an all time high for shows like Luke Cage and Iron Fist. We knew that Luke Cage was going to make an appearance at San Diego Comic Con, but man there was a lot more exciting news that dropped for all the upcoming Marvel Netflix shows.

First up is Luke Cage. Michael Colter returns as the titular character. The show promises to go into Cage’s backstory and have a ton of action. From the looks of this trailer those promises will be fulfilled. Watch Luke Cage kick some serious ass in a fight reminiscent of the famous hallway scene in Daredevil. All 13 episodes of Luke Cage will be released on September 30th of this year.

Next is the ever elusive Iron Fist. Not much is known about the direction of the show, or what’s to come from series other than Finn Jones is playing him. However, it seems that Marvel has a lot to offer for Danny Rand. It looks like it’ll be more intriguing and psychological than what most fans are used to with the character. It also looks like the show will have mysticism included with Danny’s magic punching powers. Iron Fist debuts in 2017.

Then we roll around to The Defenders, which like its film counterpart The Avengers, will unite all the Netflix Marvel characters into one show. This is the only trailer that didn’t get me as excited as I wanted it to. Don’t get me wrong its not bad it’s just a little weak. The song choice felt wrong, the graphics weren’t as impressive, and the line of dialogue just felt cliche. But, I’m too excited about the show to care. The Defenders will also debut in 2017, after Iron Fist.

And finally we have a tiny announcement teaser for Marvel’s smash hit, Daredevil season 3. It’s barely thirty seconds long, and doesn’t tell a thing, but it gives all the right chills. Since there’s no announcement date for the season’s debut, fans will most likely have to wait until after The Defenders.

Well that’s all the teasers Netflix and Marvel dropped. Which one excited you the most? Let us know in the comments below.

Review: ‘Lucas Stand’ #2 – The Plot Now Thickens

By

July 21, 2016

The story for Lucas Stand begins to reach several intriguing points. Some of the faults I had with the first issue are more than remedied. And overall, this second issue helps to keep the reader invested to see how the rest of the story unfolds.

First, the issue of sudden time travel receives a little more context, so you better understand the full situation. But it isn’t so much that you’re unable to process the information quickly, which I appreciate.

Second, we get to know the antagonist in this issue, giving us an easier time to better ascertain how much of a threat the Tempter is to Stand. While I enjoy a villain with layers of personality to flesh out there characters, I have an limitless love for villains who are just plain evil.

Sort of like the “EVIL!” Mermaid Man screams out whenever he can.

Thirdly, we get to see Lucas trying to come to terms with everything going on around him. Let’s face it, he’s been through hell on earth, and is pretty much facing real hell if he doesn’t work with hell.

You’re not gonna leave that scenario without being a little messed up in the process.

The impact of his military career on him becomes more and more telling, since he seems to pine for those days often. Lucas gets to see firsthand one of the sins he’s trying to absolve from his soul. Seeing his first sin from this period says much about how he views his own past.

Seeing Stand’s actual relation with his family would be great to see at some point, since this appears to be a major influence on Stand’s outlook on the world. But this a minor issue to an otherwise fantastic story arc.

Though it’s clear that this universe is not in the Sons of Anarchy continuity, I would not find it hard to seeing Stand fitting with the Redwood Originals nicely.

The ending of issue two shows Stand in a precarious situation. And by precarious, I mean gallows. Sorry for the spoiler, but that ending is just wicked.

And then we have the artwork. Jesus Hervas and Adam MetCalfe both interpret the rough and darkness of the story perfectly. Even those not tainted by the dark forces are deep in the dark world around them.

This is a comic series I am truly enjoying and I want to see where the story goes.

‘Deadly Class’ Being Adapted For TV By The Russo Brothers

July 21, 2016

Image Comics has confirmed plans to adapt Rick Remender’s Deadly Class for television. Remender will serve as an executive producer, as will the Russo Brothers, co-writer Miles Feld, Adam Targum (Banshee), and Mike Larroca (president of the Russos’ Getaway Productions).

The Warriors Russo Brothers — The Russo Bros are best known for directing the latest two *Captain America* films, as well as the upcoming *Avengers: Infinity War*.

Sony Pictures TV has the package, and the company will be targeting cable networks and streaming services for distribution.

Deadline Hollywood got the scoop:

Written by Remender and Miles Feld, the Deadly Class TV series is an unlikely coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of late 80’s counter culture which follows a disillusioned teen recruited into a storied high school for assassins. Maintaining his moral code while navigating a ruthless curriculum, vicious social cliques, and his own adolescent uncertainties may prove fatal.

Remender co-created Deadly Class with artist Wes Craig.

It’s 1987. Marcus Lopez hates school. His grades suck. He has no money. The jocks are hassling his friends. He can’t focus in class, thanks to his mind constantly drifting to the stunning girl in the front row and the Dag Nasty show he has tickets to. But the jocks are the children of Joseph Stalin’s top assassin, the teachers are members of an ancient league of assassins, the class he’s failing is “Dismemberment 101,” and his crush, a member of the most notorious crime syndicate in Japan, has a double-digit body count.

Welcome to the most brutal high school on Earth, where the world’s top crime families send the next generation of assassins to be trained. Murder is an art. Killing is a craft. At King’s Dominion High School for the Deadly Arts, the dagger in your back isn’t always metaphorical, nor is your fellow classmates’ poison.

Like I said in a recent article – another day, another piece of Suicide Squad news.

The Comicbook.com Youtube channel has dropped three new TV Spots and one new clip. Check them all out below.

Suicide Squad is just a few weeks away, lots of new footage has been released over the last few days, and with San Diego Comic-Con International starting, many fans are likely to stop watching these spots and just wait for the film itself to be released.

“It feels good to be bad…Assemble a team of the world’s most dangerous, incarcerated Super Villains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government’s disposal, and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity. U.S. intelligence officer Amanda Waller has determined only a secretly convened group of disparate, despicable individuals with next to nothing to lose will do. However, once they realize they weren’t picked to succeed but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitably fail, will the Suicide Squad resolve to die trying, or decide it’s every man for himself?”

Suicide Squad hits theaters on August 5.
