USA Todays post about The new Red Hulk. February 19, 2008
Posted by 54071 in : Uncategorized , add a commentThere is a post by USA Today about the second issue of the Hulk, and the fact that he is going to be the color RED.
This is not really newsworthy, nor is it a news item for us fanboys, but what the heck, if Marvel gets some added press about the whole thing.
The story is here, and of course I had to just lend my two cents to the issue.
Anime DVD’S on Deck or what Anime I will be Reviewing
Posted by 54071 in : Uncategorized , 1 comment so farGood Morning and happy Tuesday. 
I have so much stuff coming down the pipeline here for everyone, and of course just not enough time to write all about it.
So what exactly shall I be watching and sharing my thoughts with all of you about….
First, I will be updating the post ( or page ) about Ergo Proxy which I just finished watching, and to be quite honest with all of you, will have to re-view the last few episodes just to make sure that I get everything straight and in the proper sequence of order and events.
Also coming up will be Samurai Seven , Hell Girl, Trinity Blood, Witch Hunter Robin, Red Garden…you get the general picture by now I think.
Oh, did I happen to mention that I have a ton of back inventory of Anime Figures that I am starting to list for sale at L&K’S Anime Otaku Heaven?
More on that by the end of this week.
Okay, I gotta go and have some cereal and get ready for the drive to the job, so I’ll catch up with all of you later! Have a great day today everyone.
My Manga and Anime Education
Posted by 54071 in : Uncategorized , 1 comment so farI had already decided to make a larger commitment to learning more about Manga and Anime in general, because truth to tell I am definitely a novice in these areas, so to that end I had ordered tow titles from Amazon and they arrived near the end of last week, and I will be starting to digest them in another few days.
The titles are…
Manga-Sixty Years of Japanese Comics by Paul Gravett
The Anime Encyclopedia, Revised and Expanded Edition- A Guide To Japanese Animation Since 1917
These titles will get me started in my Anime and Manga education, which I have to say is very lean at best, but I am committed to advancing my education in these areas, and while along the way lay out a few things here on Fanboy along with way.
My Top Five List of Alternative Comics To Read Post#5 ?
Posted by 54071 in : Comics , add a comment
Well, this is the last of my five posts of Alternative Comics To Read, and to be fair I started this list due to my dissatisfaction with some of the comics that I had read this past year…so this last choice is definitely a few steps outside of the norm for me…and I’ll just say one word here…Manga
Yes, I said it…Manga
The appeal of a self contained series that comes out on time ( possibly every month or so? ) is pretty appealing to me, along with the novelty of the Black & White format, starting to read said Manga starting from the back of the book vs the traditional front of a comic, and reading every page of that manga book starting from right to left, vs the traditional left to right format that we are all generally used to.
The series that I have started to read is called Doll, by Mitsukazu Mihara.
Doll, focuses on the ideas of how humans and machines interact with each other, sometimes on very personal levels…and this series so far seems to try to blur the line between what it is to be human and what is not to be human…but want to be.
I have to say that I can kinda see a parallel between this book and the anime series Ergo Proxy that I just finished seeing yesterday. A definite parallel between machines that become infected with human awareness, and dolls that maybe want to be human ( or at least possibly their human keepers ) want them to be human.
Doll has six books ( at least at this point ) in it’s series and so far I have three of the six with the other three on the way to me, so I will be talking more about this series in the near future
