Comic Review for week of March 20th 2019

Some much needed backstory for one of the more interesting characters from the shortlived television series.

Another series that’s about to end up on the canceled list, though the b-stories in this are good cheesy camp that I enjoy, so maybe it won’t.

Princess Leia seeks revenge on a Queen that betrayed the rebellion. Leia’s going to be able to do it in spectacular fashion!

Fantastic first issue of a series that I’m assuming is going to be just a summary of spider-man’s life, in broad strokes.

Apparently there’s an appealing death cult that goes places to watch things die, and I just love that.

I’m really digging this story about a cosmic horror coming to Earth because it’s hungry.

I missed out on Toyo’s story previously in the Valiant universe, this is a great way to expose yourself to his fantastic origin and ideas.

RIP Man-o-war, guess you really can’t make it much past issue #25, ever, can you?

I’m saving this one for a raining day, it looks like it’s going to be a fun read.

Holding for #2 to come in.

The Twilight Zone The Comedian TV Episode 2019

Directed by Owen Harris. With Amara Karan, Ryan Beil, Byron Bertram, Josh Collins. Taking advice from a famous comedian, a stand-up comic makes fun of his own life – with unexpected results.

It’s insane to think that in 2019 that we’d have not just one, not two, but now three series dealing with mind warping twists on our personal reality. As good as Black Mirror or Weird City are, Twilight Zone is the big gun that comes out swinging with an absolutely killer of a episode. It’s free on youtube right now too, so check it out.

Comic Review for week of March 27th 2019

There’s a funny story here about a battle droid who grows a conscious after getting hit on the head, it’s fantastic.

This is one of the best covers I’ve seen in a long while, I’m halfway considering putting it up on my wall. The story inside is pretty good, but man: that cover, right?

Bloodshot get shot several times and butts heads with the HARDCorps. I think this is the first time that I’ve seen them in the new Valiant universe, and I like what they’re doing with them.

I’m not sure why, but I felt like this #1000 is much better than the Action Comics #1,000. Maybe I was expecting more from the Superman book, as I had picked up the previous 10 issues, something I didn’t do with ‘Tec. There’s a few good stories here, a couple clunkers, but they all have heart.

I remember reading or hearing about DIAL H way back in the day, but other than knowing there’s a phone involved, I don’t remember much about the series. I think that’s for the best, as this was a great read and I’m sure that if I knew more about the original series I would have something to complain about.

Her superpower: live a long time and cause men to be angry! The “forgotten queen” is a great read, but I’m not sure where they’re going with either the flashback story they’re doing, nor the present day story.

There are no Green lanterns in this book, so I have no clue why the death of Kilowag is featured. We finally get the main story to move forward just a bit, but this really feels like a story that’s been stretched to it’s very limit.

Doctor Aphra and her love bot realize that they’re in love and that the bombs in their heads should be no barrier. Then, Doctor Aphra messes up and gives her robot lover all it’s memories back and he realizes that life is a joke.

Vader is only featured on maybe 3 pages, but he looms large on ever single panel, to horrifying effect. A great story that should really be checked out to be believed.

Level 102 Nicolas Diteriks They Are Billions

Nicolas Diteriks composed music for the real-time-strategy zombie survival game called They Are Billions. I was really taken with the art and design for this game – it’s steampunk, the colors are great, and it’s fun to look at. Nicolas used a full orchestra, recorded in eastern Europe, and used a lot of metallic sounds too to reflect that steampunk aspect of it.

Nicolas has worked with a composer we’ve had on Level a few times before, and will again soon: Olivier Deriviere.

Also in this conversation, Nicolas and I talk about a couple of great jazz pianists. We mention Shai Maestro and Esbjörn Svensson.

First Man

Directed by Damien Chazelle. With Ryan Gosling, Claire Foy, Jason Clarke, Kyle Chandler. A look at the life of the astronaut, Neil Armstrong, and the legendary space mission that led him to become the first man to walk on the Moon on July 20, 1969.

I imagine the thought process that brought us this movie was something like this: “how do we make the most boring, soul sucking, sad, depressing, and humorless depiction of our journey to the moon, while at the same time, using some of the best special effects ever seen in a biographical space film?” I wasn’t impressed with the acting, nor the story, but the visuals were pretty to look at.

Directed by Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, Rodney Rothman. With Shameik Moore, Jake Johnson, Hailee Steinfeld, Mahershala Ali. Teen Miles Morales becomes Spider-Man of his reality, crossing his path with five counterparts from other dimensions to stop a threat for all realities.

I bought it in 4k! It’s just a great in 4k as it is in standard HD, still hasn’t gotten old on me yet! I will say, the HDR didn’t pop as much as I thought it was going to, especially compared to other 4k/hdr movies I’ve seen recently.

Level Bit 01 Woody Jackson “Revisiting Downes Ranch”

This is the first installment of our “Level Bits” where I talk over a track I like from a game. These bits are rough and ready, done in one or two takes, so nothing fancy! And I pop my P’s a lot in this one, which is annoying, and I apologize.

Level Bit 01 deals with music you hear as you’re finishing a mission called “Sodom Back to Gomorrah”, and it is specifically the music you hear as you’re leaving a place called Downes Ranch.

It’s lovely music, sad, innocent, simple, amateurish (I’ll explain that, don’t take it wrong!). Upon listening back, I’m fairly certain the lowest string is a double bass, not a cello, so forgive me for that mistake. I believe I refer to that part as the “low stringed instrument” mostly. And it totally could be a cello. Someone will know!

Back with a full episode next week, hope you enjoy this Bit!
