Whether we need a reboot of The Crow depends on who you ask, but while we’re waiting for that Summer release, fans can enjoy the classic.

To say when a home video release can reach me in advance to review depends on how fast the crow flies to bring me that gift. But often, the last mile is at truck’s (a snail) pace. The reference is apt to describe why I wanted to see The Crow again in 4K; fans of this cult film will want the steelbook and the bling that comes with. It’s excellent and the package is well designed. Myself, I really wanted to check out the new bonus material.

What’s provided is definitely a fond look back. And when this year marks this film’s 30th anniversary, there’s a reason to celebrate! Not only are we remembering Brendon Lee‘s passing but also acknowledging this movie’s contribution to trying to make movies a safer place. There were protocols that weren’t adhered to which resulted in this actor’s death. As for whether this accident could’ve been avoided, it’s possible when considering the details revealed during the trial.

Now 30 years later, it’s busting out again with this anniversary 4K release! Not only is it newly remastered but also, there’s all new content!

Disney’s Gargoyles. Ready to Burst at the Seams Again!

At long last, casual fans of Disney’s Gargoyles can pick up reprints of the comic books released by other publishers prior to Dynamite Comics’ acquisition!

Disney's GargoylesBack the commerative editions here.

Fans of Disney’s Gargoyles can rejoice! The elusive comic books from yesteryears are getting a digital cleanup and will be reprinted! After Dynamite Comic‘s Kickstarter campaign to publish the 30th anniversary editions is over, it may head to stores next.

Whatever the background drama wase to finally make this happen, at least the wait will be worth it. I imagine that because this new publisher has been doing very well with reimaging a lot of Disney properites recently, to visit this particular 90s Disney Afternoon favourite was inevitable. Back in the last decade, fans have been patient and campaigning to get the animated series out on home video.
