Where fiction collides.
The Girls Entertainment Network’s Scott Pilgrim Week and contest is now over, but you can catch the review of the fourth book here. Also, be sure to stop by and check out my San Diego Comic-Con co-interview with creator Bryan Lee O’Malley.
All the SP articles are here.
So I’m bummed. London Horror Comic, the horror anthology book by John-Paul Kamath, ended way too soon with its third issue.
You can find out why in my review of the issue over at the Girls Entertainment Network, although I urge all of you to buy the triple deal at the comic’s website (details in the review). Plus, I was quoted on the back of the latest issue. That brightened my day!
Scott Pilgrim Week is half over, which means there’s only two days left to enter to win prizes! Seriously, Oni Press is contributing some pret-ty awesome prizes to this thing. So go! Comment! Off with ye!
My review of volume 3 is up now at the Girls Entertainment Network. After tomorrow our The Walking Dead expert, Melissa Kay, will be finishing up with a review of the fifth volume. Plus, be sure to check out the interview with creator Bryan Lee O’Malley that Meg and I did at SDCC!
There are two main things vintage comics are good for: history and stupidity. And since we already have Sounds of Nostalgia, I figured we’d highlight the stupidity. That’s always fun.
That guy’s expression just says it all: “What kind of idiot world did I walk into, and when can I leave? Some moron dressed like a fish just sprayed me with gross green water and he seriously just said, ‘Whence come you?’ And more importantly, what the hell am I wearing?”
I’m starting to get back in the swing of things over at the Girls Entertainment Network, now that San Diego Comic-Con coverage is beginning to wind down. I still have a few more of those to do, though, so hang tight!
Anyway, my review of The Darkness #79—which hits stands tomorrow—is now up! Go have a look-see!
The GEN and Oni Press team-up continues with a review of Scott Pilgrim Vol. 2! Remember, commenting could win you some awesome swag. And did I mention there are some SDCC things in the prize pack? Hmmmm?
Check it out here.
Do we need an excuse to play old games? Hell no! But sometimes music from OSTs can inspire us to try new ones or revisit past loves like dirty, secret affairs.
Right now I’m chugging away at Chrono Trigger (DS), and I’m loving this game. I’ve played some of the original game before, but I’ve never owned it—so this will be the first time I’ve played the whole way through. Chrono Trigger boasts an excellent musical score, but the best has to be the Ocean Palace theme.
Not to mention the Ocean Palace itself is memorable. If you haven’t played Chrono Trigger, you probably have some fancy ideas of what it might look like. I certainly did (largely inspired by a certain glorious Final Fantasy dungeon and its mermaids). But yeah, you wouldn’t see this one coming.
What are some of your favorite Sounds of Nostalgia?
The Girls Entertainment Network and publisher Oni Press have teamed up to present Scott Pilgrim Week! Today until Friday, we’ll be putting out reviews of the five Scott Pilgrim books and an interview with creator Bryan Lee O’Malley himself. By commenting on any of those articles, you’ll automatically be entered to win some exclusive Scott Pilgrim swag.
You can check out the feature hub and the review of the first volume over at GEN.
SP is set for a movie and a video game, so the perfect time to get into it is now!
