Cowboy Bebop Remastered Sessions Collection 1


The modern anime classic that defines cool was re-released earlier this year on Blu-Ray and is a must for everyone. I say everyone because even non anime fans will get a kick out of this series. It features the tales of a bunch of intergalactic bounty hunters taking down wanted criminals one bounty at a time. The series has been praised for it's stories and the music used in the series.

Battling Boy by Paul Pope 

This new original Graphic Novel series sees the city of Acropolis besieged by Monsters and other Villains. All that stands in their way is a 12 year old demo-god named Battling Boy. Battling Boy gets his powers via a set of t-shrts with an animal totem on them, which allows him to access the characteristics of that animal.

An all ages book which is smart, fun and has a ton of imagination.

Saga is a series that I cannot get enough of. A mixture of Fantasy and Science Fiction, this series takes you to the farthest reaches of your imagination and then beyond. An epic space opera/fantasy that depicts two lovers from long-warring races, Alan and Marko, on the run from either side of the war as they try to care for their newborn daughter Hazel, who also narrates the series.

Volumes 1 and 2 collect the first 12 issues of this amazing series.

Reese commits fully and with real vigour and we have seen this over and over again in roles like Legally Blonde  (the original is still so fun), Walk the line , Vanity Fair and more. Recently the critically-acclaimed and Emmy award winning TV series Big Little Lies which is sensational, as well as her role in it. In Home Again Reese has returned to the romantic comedy genre which she has championed in her career many times and sadly, to some questionable results. I know Sweet Home Alabama  is a favourite among many but sadly it did not ignite me. I am quite fond of Just Like heaven  with Mark Ruffalo (don’t judge) which I

Today I have the pleasure of speaking to writer Tom Taylor and artist James Brouwer, creators of my favourite book of recent time , The Deep: Here be Dragons.  In case you haven't heard, The Deep: Here be Dragons is the Aurealis award winning graphic novel from Aussie duo, Tom Taylor and James Brouwer, and the patriotic streak doesn't end there. This book is beautifully presented by the good folks at the independent Aussie comics company, Gestalt. Follow on after the jump and not only will you get an interview with some of Australia's best and brightest but you will get a look at some interior art and an EXCLUSIVE look at an all new piece of art from the forthcoming VOLUME 2, The Vanishing Island. Intriguing?
