Dungeons and Dragons: Art & Arcana - A Visual History REVIEW

Image
Grab your dice and prepare for an adventure, because we're talking about Dungeons and Dragons! "Art and Arcana: A Visual History" is a groundbreaking new book that looks at the history of D&D through the art that has come to define the tabletop role playing game for 45 years. Authors Michael and Sam Witwer, Kyle Newman, and Jon Peterson have put together an exhaustive and comprehensive look at the history of game and thoroughly researched the phenomenon, using the visuals of the game to illustrate this fascinating story. If you have an appreciation for RPGs, high fantasy, or just great artwork, this book (and video) is for you!

Bubba Ho-Tep and the Cosmic Blood-Suckers #4 Non-Spoiler Review

Image
At last, the penultimate chapter of Bubba Ho-Tep and the Cosmic Blood-Suckers  has arrived from IDW Publishing! For those just joining us, creator Joe R. Lansdale's fun and irreverent premise blends Elvis, the seventies, and a whole bevy of supernatural forces that would annihilate us all if not for the good work being done by The King and a small band of defenders. The character was introduced in a novella by Lansdale that saw an elderly Elvis (years after faking his death) facing off against evil in the most unlikely of places, and that story was adapted into a feature film in 2002 that was directed by Don Coscarelli and starred Bruce Campbell and Ossie Davis. IDW's 2018 comic dials the clock back some years to the days when Mr. Presley was still taking care of business in a flash. He's a little over the hill, maybe, but he's still got a lot of diesel in the tank.

Abominable (2006) and Why This Bigfoot Film Matters to You by Joshua Jabcuga

Image
What strange times we live in. With streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, and Shudder, one would think for the price of several monthly subscriptions, film lovers would have access to a vast virtual library of movies. Most of the services are not curated, and users are often faced with the dilemma of scrolling through titles for hours on end, like a compass needle spinning aimlessly. Many of the digital subscription services are focused on creating their own content. Their logic (and business strategy): why pay a studio to license a film library when you can produce your own content and maintain the rights in perpetuity? That’s a problem if you’re a fan of older movies or low budget films that didn’t make a profit. Netflix isn’t keen on stocking their “virtual video store” with these titles. There’s really no depth or breadth. And you’re expecting 24/7/365 access to those movies you “own” with your monthly membership? Sorry, pal.
