Is It Too Late To “Howl” When The Invisible Alien Threat is Everywhere?

In Howl, Alisa Kwitney and Mauricet blend counterculture and aliens to create a melting pot of sublime terror for comic book fans to enjoy. To see how they don’t deal is part of the fun!

Ahoy Comics Howl #3 Comic Book CoverSpoiler Alert

Ahoy Comics has a unique tale that’s now in its third issue, and I will Howl should my expectation for the last two issues not get met. This alien invasion cum romantic comedy looks at a side of Americana where the events do not take place at a little shop of horrors. Instead, it’s some corner of Greenwich Village in New York. Unless the UFO was on silent running, I found it strange nobody on the streets noticed it spraying a fine red mist everywhere. The people introduced on the first page ignore it as if it were dust from a passing dirty truck.

Ziva is the main protagonist in this story by Alisa Kwitney. In issue #1, she’s with her friend, Frida, hurrying to get to school. Unbeknownst to them, they inhaled the micro-organisms instead of fanning it away. Even Stanley, Z’s boyfriend, caught this virus! By the next issue, he’s no longer the fun loving character she knows him as, and she even thinks he’s now cheating on her! The next issue really sets up the complications and as for what kind of education she’s getting, I figure she’s a nurse in training.

Operation Undead Is Not A Fight Anyone Wants During World War II

When Operation Undead has a bit of historical reference concerning the Japanese invasion of Thailand, just how they reached the armistice has an imaginative explanation here!

When Operation Undead is about more than a plot to overturn the local militia, just what happens next is quite the spiritual journey. Although tensions between the Thai and Japanese troops are tumultuous at best, to pile on top a threat which requires both sides to work together is daring.

After the attack on Pearl Harbour, the latter had further plans. They need a path to Burma and Thailand is in the way! Elsewhere, the scientists want to test a biological weapon which effectively turns anyone who breathes the fumes into mindless super-soldiers. They’re like zombie berserkers, and they did not really think things through. Even a few Japanese soldiers got affected!

Honestly, I don’t think I’ve seen a recent film that considers the potential repercussions. To watch the chaos is as fun as a Predator film, but as for what goes on in the mind of a fallen before succumbing to the virus is the best part! It’s rare to even consider that personal narrative, and what’s presented is very dreamlike.

When The Count Stops at Mickey 17, Could The Next War Concern Eugenics?

Dealing with life is never easy, but for Mickey 17, he finds the answer to it and there’s a lot more to it than to be reminded about Toni Basil’s song.

Mickey 17 film_posterNot everyone is going to interpret Bong Joon Ho‘s Mickey 17 the same way as the novel. When I went in not knowing the book, what I found is a story concerning Mickey (Robert Pattinson) looking to escape his past. And when he signs up to be an Expandable for the industrial evangelist Kenneth Marshall (Mark Ruffalo), life will not be easy. Instead of a soldier, he’s a replicant. That is, he’s a guinea pig. Whether that’s for medical tests or ordered to walk into a minefield, he’s there!

When this film is deviating from the source material, just what happens next is anyone’s guess. When this narrative mixes up elements from Edge of Tomorrow and Starship Troopers, I’m already hooked! And for the star to be geeked to resemble Steve Rogers before becoming Captain America results from some excellent makeup design.

In Search of Aliens Uncovered Jesuits Secrets Rather Than Desert Riches

Maybe some things shouldn’t be unearthed! In Aliens Uncovered Jesuits Secrets, while some ideas may seem far fetched, could what documentarian Clive Christopher is looking for the truth?

Some people may say the topics Clive Christopher has in his UFO conspiracy documentary series are far-fetched. However, I’m finding some of his releases better than others. In his latest, Aliens Uncovered: Jesuits Secrets, they are not out to spread the word of Christ. There’s also the search for gold (to help the aliens who need to “phone home” in order to save their planet).

However, there’s more to the mystery. The locals believe Mount Graham is a source of mystery. While the indigenous tribes living here are harvesting from the land for food and sustenance, there are others seeking something else! It’s rumoured the aliens want the minerals said to be buried here. Also, when the Vatican built an observatory here and it’s home to two other telescopes, perhaps these organisations know something else is hovering above.

In the Lost Lands, Home Will Feel Far Away!

Paul W. S. Anderson’s In The Lost Lands feels more like a set up for an upcoming role playing game that fans of of the post-apocalyptic genre can take part in!

In the Lost Lands Movie PosterDave Bautista is almost ready to replace William Shatner as host to The UnXplained should the opportunity arise. That’s because he’s getting the practice in with Paul W. S. Anderson’s In The Lost Lands.  In this lengthy adaptation of George R. R. Martin’s, I am left wondering if this star will ever find a woman he can stay with instead of staying a drifter. Technically, he did in The Killer’s Game (movie review), but in other films prior, I sense he’ll always be a loner.

This science-fiction post apocalyptic adventure opens with him explaining how the Earth destroyed itself, and unlike The Knight’s War where the protagonist is in search for a woman with power to change the tides of war, here this individual wants nothing to do with Gray Alys (Milla Jovovich). She’s been searching for someone like Boyce (Bautista) to guide her through the said world.

After 45 Glorious Years, Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX -Beginning- Delves Into What Ifs….

This cinematic presentation of Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX -Beginning- brings the first four television episodes together and shows an alternate future for this franchise.

Spoiler Alert
Now playing at select cinemas near you.

Mobile Suit Gundam is back with GQuuuuuuX -Beginning-! Not only does it reimagine the events from the original television series but also explores a huge what if scenario. Here, Char Aznable (Yuuki Shin) is the antihero who claims the RX-78-2. He’s the ultimate Mr. Bad Guy, and after he steals that said mech and christens it as the “Red Gundam” to win the One Year War, both he and his mech disappear! As for when that happens, before or after Char’s Counterattack, I’m not sure. The first act moves very fast, and I’d have to rewatch.

Consequently, I have to ask will he return? Instead of getting to the answer, the movie presentation jumps ahead by a few years, and introduces Amate Yuzuriha (Tomoyo Kurosawa). This teen finds life in a colony space habitat frustrating. Life in high school isn’t all that good either, and this leads to the usual tropes involved in many an anime.
