GKids is at it again bringing North America animated goodness. They've picked up A Letter to Momo for a limited theater release and with that comes a dubbed version. Usually I'm not a fan of the "dubbed", but this trailer is so good that I didn't care. A Letter to Momo is the follow up to Hiroyuki Okiura's 1999's Jin-Roh.

This trailer is extremely creepy. What's missing from it is Denise Poirier's voice. Why you ask?
Read MoreSDCC 14: Jurassic World Teaser Poster
Well I don't love it and I don't hate it. I like the homage to the first film. I get that they're showing the new resort being built-in the background and their of course using the popular Velociraptor in the promotion. But I'm left with a "is that it" feeling that I just can't place.
Read MoreTrailer Time: Ned Rifle
Okay I have a confession... I have a celebrity crush on Aubrey Plaza. Don't judge me I'm sure you have a celebrity crush as well!! At any rate I enjoy her acting and the characters she plays even if some of them fall into the same vein. Blame Scott Pilgrim that's where it all began.

Well it's just a poster, but it looks like toy maker Mezco will be producing action figures for the WB's upcoming Mortal Kombat X (aka 10) that is also scheduled for a 2015 release.
Read MoreSDCC 14: Final Fantasy Designer Reveals Variant Play Arts Batman Figure
Play Arts is the toy branch of Square Enix and they have some kind of deal with DC Comics to make figures. Aside from DC making their own figures with DC Direct they also have the Play Arts deal and the Mattel deal. With Mattel they produce more of their traditional affordable action figures while the DC Direct line are better quality and usually made for collectors. The Play Arts figures are also made for collectors, but they tend to make some unusual figures. Remember their strange Justice League line? Well Kingdom Hearts creator and Final Fantasy designer Tetsuya Nomura has designed a Batman figure for their Variants line. I've never actually heard of this line before so I wonder if Batman is launching it or what. It's an interesting design for sure. I can't see myself buying it, but if you're a huge Batman fan it would make an interesting piece for the collection. If you're at SDCC you can see it in person (behind glass of course) as it makes its debut.
Literally Everything Else From Your Childhood: The Movie (Video)
If there was one thing I learned from "Kids React To TMNT" this week, it's that you should abandon your childhood or accept the new version because there are more kids in the world and they like the new shit. This is a good video in my opinion, but what are your thoughts?
Read MorePoster Time: Sin City 2: A Dame To Kill For Reveals Second Poster For Nancy
Nancy going total bad-ass in the comics was one of my favorite aspects of the story so seeing Jessica Alba looking like this... well it's pretty bad-ass. This image was previously released for the big group poster they did which hearkens back to the ones they did for the original film.
Read MoreSDCC 14: Marvel Reveals Concept Art For Avengers: Age of Ultron and Ant-Man
After just an evening of Comic-Con we already have a slew of news and images coming from the showroom floor or just being released on the interwebs. First up are the concept art posters for Iron Man and Scarlet Witch from Avengers: Age of Ultron.
Read MoreDual Review: Life With Archie #37
Archie Andrews is dead! Okay a version of Archie Andrews is dead. Much like last week Steve and Dustin have returned to review the final issue of Life With Archie, a series that explored two timelines; one in which Archie married Betty and one in which Archie married Veronica.
Read MoreReview: WinterWorld #2
Just as last month WinterWorld opens up to a frozen dystopia and our protagonists are just trying to survive. I also mentioned last time that it feels like this whole set has been overdone and I’m trying to come into this open minded.
Read MoreReview: Undertow #6
Well here it is… the final issue for this volume of Undertow. I certainly hope there’s a second volume because I have thoroughly enjoyed this series that has taken a look at Atlantis in a very different way.
Read MoreReview: Transformers vs. G.I. Joe #1
There are so many things wrong with this comic book that I am trying to find something nice to say to begin. But I cannot.
Read MoreReview: Skullkickers #29
The last issue of Skullkickers really rebounded this storyline for me. Up until then I was not having the best time with a series I usually can’t wait to read and enjoy, but it did rebound. That said I still kind of wondered what I would get with this issue that closes out the story arc.
Read MoreReview: Trees #3
Trees is such an intriguing comic. You can’t help but want to read it and understand every little detail that is happening so you can brag to your friends about it. You want it all to be so clear, but only for you and no one else.
Read MoreReview: Wild Blue Yonder #5
And so begins the fine battle between the Dawn and the Judge. Man-oh-man if you haven’t been reading Wild Blue Yonder you’re missing out. This book may have a slower release schedule, but when it delivers an issue as good as this then it’s worth the wait.
Read MoreReview: Steed and Mrs. Peel – We’re Needed #1
I had never heard of Steed or Mrs. Peel, but after a quick search it appears that they are the original Avengers. Although I’m not a fan of the Avengers at all, I thought this comic would be an interesting spy fiction story.
Read MoreReview: TMNT- Turtles in Time #2
Well the Turtles are in a new place and time with a new writer and artist. With Pepperoni stealing my heart last issue, I knew it couldn’t last. I knew that little rhino couldn’t come with us, but I was hoping that what Paul Allor and Ross Campbell set up for us would.
Read MoreReview: The Midas Flesh #8
We have now made it to the ending of The Midas Flesh. This has been a title that really took me by surprise, throwing both good and bad curve balls early on and then finding its grove in later issues.
Read MoreReview: Conan The Avenger #4
In this, the fourth part of the ongoing Conan the Avenger book, I’m still not sure where I’m going to end up. This is the story of a warrior lost, a warrior adrift who is trying to find himself in a new land with new people in it, whose only escape is the thrill of battle.
