I remember sitting in front of the TV when I was 7 years old in 1985 and watching what was probably one of the first Anime’s I’ve ever seen.

Tranzor Z (Mazinger Z) was one of the original giant robot Anime’s. It featured Kouji Kabuto–Tommy Davis in the US as the pilot of the Pileder (Pilder) a hovercraft vehicle that went into the head of the giant Tranzor Z robot. From this hovercraft he would control the awesome robot and use its trademark attack which was a double rocket punch to defeat the enemy.
Fighting along side of Tommy in his …

Renowned artist, Jim Lee, has designed a new costume for Wonder Woman.  It’s suppose to update her costume from the 1940’s but it looks like she got her style from the 80’s with her leather jacket.  Wonder Woman #600 was released yesterday and marked her appearance with the new suit.  Writer J. Michael Straczynski explains in DC’s blog:

“Diana has been raised in an urban setting, but with a foot in both worlds. She has little or no memory of the other timeline. She knows only what she’s been told by those who raised her On the run, hunted, …

Radical Comics sent me the first issue of Driver of the Dead. It’s an interesting story about vodoo magic, dead people, and scaly creatures set in the deep south; New Orleans to be exact.

The story is about Alabaster Graves, and as the title suggests, he is the Driver of the Dead. He is hired to drive dead bodies from the funeral homes to their final resting place. His specialty is keeping the voodoo magicians, and sorcerers away from the dead bodies.

The story starts with a character named Mose Freeman, a Morgan Freeman look-alike. Anyhow, Freeman is a …

The Anime Eureka SeVen has had mixed reviews in the past, some people say it’s too long at 50 episodes and others love it. I’d say that I’m in the middle and find it great on a lot of levels such as the story in itself and negative by how annoying the main characters get on their slow road to finding themselves.

The DVD’s took about 2 years to collect. Having to wait every other month for the next disk to come out was like waiting for paint to dry. Most of the disks came out in a special edition which …

This is an older Comic from 2008. But, the cover art spoke to me, so I picked it up.

No, this isn’t about nerds. The premise; Dragons live amongst New Yorkers in the Great Depression era, the 1930s. The first issue is very captivating; the first pages were about a boy and his family enjoying the beach. Until, the father decides to go for a walk to “have a smoke.” The boy should have stayed, but he  followed; and what happens next is the beginning of the little boy’s journey about …

Per an interview with the writers of the comics at comicbookresources.com; Jonah Hex the movie might not be a true adaptation of the comics.

Justin Gray: We view the film, at least I do, as a completely different animal from the comic. While there are similarities, the focus is different. For one thing, if you think it is hard to sell a Western comic, it is even more difficult to sell a Western film. It isn’t just that the genre is less popular than it was 30 to 50 years ago, but it is also very difficult to make one …

Paladin here, I got to make many rounds throughout the convention room in an attempt to get either pictures, find the best price on a toy or find something, anything that may be of interest.

The stars I remember best from a distance were Lisa Marie Varon who played Victoria the wrestler in WWE. She was smiling and it wasn’t some made up grin it was genuine and that is memorable.
Virgina Hey was right next to Vernon Wells and she looked to be pretty cool.
I don’t have to mention Vernon Wells again, but I will–the coolest!

I had passed …
