Music


New Music/Video
Xzibit - Play This at My Funeral https://youtu.be/PA6o5mheZKw?si=qfpTrX9WTdHfdJp4 deep thoughts and laid back. Not the more well known side of Xzibit, but def a good track.
Nowhere2run - Ant in the Afterbirth feat. Loathe https://youtu.be/lvyBoj7Ga8s Code Orange side project Jami Morgan (vocals) and Eric Balderose (keys, guitar). Featuring the vocalist from Loathe, Kadeem France. Reminiscent of Aphex Twin.
Vomit Forth - Salt https://youtu.be/pvq73TsCPL8 new album Terrified of God out now.
Slaughter to Prevail - Behelit https://youtu.be/0Cz-GLCQ1I0 AMV flashbacks. Alex isn’t giving up on the melodic vocals. This is such an interesting showcase of his ability to switch between that crazy guttural vocal and his melodics. A little orchestration too.
Make them Suffer - Mana God https://youtu.be/V7GGewgpzac Standard Deathcore… nothing terribly new or original. Just groovy.
Black Stone Cherry - Out of Pocket feat. Jesse Leach. https://youtu.be/T49KAAynaLg What is the point of having one of the best voices in metal guest on your song if you’re just going to sing over him the whole time? Southern fried hard rock with a taste of Jesse.
Ice Nine Kills - Work of Art https://youtu.be/k9TzUxGPbI0?si=QgwtFXqq4ZG5r94w  That BREAKDOWN!! HAHA! Not as good as the Silence of the Lambs song.

Suggests

Comic Books/Books


Trailers
DC All In - https://youtu.be/AWGAeV4IbvU?si=Jj8JH8-bXuQ6abkw Perhaps to sort out some confusion on their branding between Absolute and All In.
Power Rangers Prime - https://youtu.be/YEyNt2R7SuA Written by Darkest Hour writer Melissa Flores, art from Michael YG. 

Reg ‘ol News
TMNT - Juan Ferreyra will be joining Jason Aaron starting in issue 6 for the current run. These previews are beautiful! Jan 29 2025
DC GO! - Officially launching on Nov 20th. It is an imprint on the DC Universe Infinite app. Set to be a line of both original content AND re-formatted stories from the DC and MAD back catalogs. The first wave of original DC GO! titles will feature Harley Quinn in Paradise, written by CRC Payne (Batman: Wayne Family Adventures) with artwork by Siobhan Chiffon and Cathy Le (Archie Comics: Big Ethel Energy), Nothing Butt Nightwing by writer Patrick R. Young (Red Hood: Outlaws) and artist Moy R. Marco (West Coast Avengers), and Renaissance of Raven by writer Sina Grace (Superman: The Harvests of Youth) alongside artists Nico Bascuñan (Red Hood: Outlaws), Katherine Lobo (The Vampire Slayer), and Carola Borelli (Avengers Academy: Marvel’s Voices Infinity Comic). Preview chapters of both Harley Quinn in Paradise and Nothing Butt Nightwing are now available to read on DC Universe.
Marvel Duos - J. Michael Straczynski is doing a series of 6 on-off books pairing some very unexpected characters. Ghost Rider and Galactus, Agatha Harkness and Aunt May, Rocket and Dr Doom. The books begin January, with a different artist for each book.
Absolute Superman - Writer Jason Aaron was interviewed by Comicbook.com and is talking out both sides of his neck. In on breath he says that he wants to “get the heart of Superman right.” Even going so far as to name drop Siegel and Shuster. But then he calls the details of how we get to Superman, “not precious.” Then he goes on to talk about how he is changing literally everything about where Superman comes from. In the Absolute universe Kal-el crashes to Earth as something older than a baby. The All-In special scene, Aaron says, isn’t the first time he lands on Earth. But he very specifically DOESN’T say that he will be a baby. “He is absolutely not fully formed as Superman.” This is a new universe, so it isn’t a total affront.
November 6th.


Suggests
From Hell - Alan Moore
The great Alan Moore’s take on Jack the Ripper. Made into a decent horror movie in 2001, but the superior form of this is the comic.
Read it on Comixology

Reg ‘ol News
Voltron - Henry Cavill has ANOTHER nerdy property under his belt. He will starring in the new Voltron live-action movie. Directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber (Red Notice, Skyscraper, Dodgeball etc). No official word on who Cavill will be playing yet, as they seem to be going with younger actors for the main five Lion characters. This also seems to be playing into the Warcraft situation. Word BTS is that Cavill wants to keep it close to the source material, but producers want a deviation.
Shinobi - Universal Pictures is making a big screen adaptation of the Sega game. To be helmed by Extraction director Sam Hargrave.
Knull - Venom 3 Director seemingly confirms Knull’s future in the movies. In an email interview with director and co-writer of Venom 3 Kelly Marcel said “one movie could never do justice to Knull.” She goes on to elaborate that Knull will ALSO NOT be the the primary antagonist for the movie.
