Not Just An Epic Scoop for Richard A. Hamilton’s Upcoming Tales of Wonder. It’s a Techtiv Too!

Richard A. Hamilton and Marco Matrone’s latest work is now out in bookstores, and if you love young adult graphic novels set in a post apocalyptic world, this one is for you! And we got info on Mad Cave Studio’s next project featuring this author.

TECTIV VOL. 1 Book Cover by Richard A. Hamilton — **Available to order on Amazon USA**

Fans of Richard A. Hamilton’s work in the graphic novel front will be thrilled to read Tectiv Vol. 1: Noirtopia, a new series about Bingo Finder looking at lost texts to inspire her to search for her missing best friend. But to solve this mystery, this young lady must fight for her own life and uncover a conspiracy within this fragile civilization.

Reading the preview offered through Google Books shows this author knows the genre completely, and he brings readers into the world like they’ve very lived in. The way the characters come alive is fantastic, and in what I sensed from Finder, she’s discovered the Library of Alexandria! Well, the place isn’t big, but that’s the sense of awe I got when looking at those pages illustrated by Marco Matrone.

I’ve always enjoyed everything Hamilton brings to any world, whether it’s from another creator’s work or not. Where he shines the most is when he gets to develop his own universe!

The Good Ol’ Boys and Girls Are Feuding in Alien Country, It’s Just A Hoot and a Hollar!

When Utah is more known for its barren landscape than its lush pine forests, this state can be Alien Country for those UAPs often seen high in the sky.

It should come as no surprise that UFOs seen in the State of Utah are more visible than elsewhere. It should be known as Alien Central than Alien Country–the title of this film. Whether that’s because it’s where free famous ecological landmarks converge–The Rocky Mountains, the Great Basin, and the Colorado Plateau–or something else, it seems the fictional town of Blue River is the focus. In this film directed by Boston McConnaughey, I get the sense he wanted to deal more with the rednecks drama going on here than the aliens, which are often kept away at arms length until those moments matter.

That’s because of the drama that’s happening between Jimmy (K.C. Clyde) and Everly (co-writer Renny Grames), whose on-again/off-again relationship is very front and centre. She’s pregnant, and he can’t figure out what she wants. When she wants to make it big as a singer-songwriter, all he cares about is to survive the next crash and burn. Also, he has abandonment issues. His father disappeared when he was young.

These days, he’s a demolition derby driver and considering he’s putting his life at risk every-day, I’m sure his girlfriend wants him to change careers. It took a while for me to get invested in their drama, but once that’s in place, that’s when the fun starts. They accidentally open a portal to some world, and when the aliens come busting out, it’s up to them to save their town from this invasion!

The Portal Encounters in Aliens Uncovered Part 12 Are Many, But What About The Few Not Found Elsewhere?

Anyone searching for the truth will find some new ideas in the next chapter of the Aliens Uncovered series, subtitled Portals Encountered.

Now Available to Stream on Google Play, Vudu and AppleTV

The Superstition Mountains is certainly a place of mystery, and in Aliens Uncovered Portal Encounters, the 12th episode of a 15 film run, what’s unearthed concerns folklore more so than anything else! Here, the focus is about why people go missing and the search for Lost Dutchman’s Gold Mine! That’s because some people theorise the metal is required for achieving faster than light travel.

One day, maybe someone from the U.S. military will open up and explain why they patrol these places. They are policing them because “There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.” There are organisations who think the world is not ready for what’s lurking across that gateway, and perhaps they are doing what’s best for humanity.

In Zach Green’s Foil, Where’s The Little Green Men?

Finding success isn’t easy, but when you’re Zach Green, perhaps making a film aptly named Foil is like therapy to show he’s got what it takes to be a success.

Available on Amazon Prime

Zach Green could’ve easily made a film about two hasbeens getting abducted by aliens and through that experience, maybe get a second chance at life. Instead, what’s presented in Foil deals with how these two realise that they don’t have to live up to what others expect of them. When they go looking for the meaning of life in the middle of the desert, what they discover is a bit like Monty Python.

Usually, movie titles offer a hint at what to expect, and this work is a strange beast because I wasn’t sure what to expect. Here, most of the story is fixated on Rex (Devin O’Rourke) and Dexter (Green) as they hope to experience some 70s magic; that is, they hope to get some “Kum ba yah” going in the most hilarious way possible. When the former is a UFO nut who wants to be taken away and the latter, a failed filmmaker with no Hollywood cred to his name, both are ready to leave it all behind so they can start anew.

It’s Wild and Wacky with Invaders from Proxima B

and we got to talk to the creative mind behind this work too! Ward Roberts brings some funky ideas into Invaders from Proxima B.

Ward Roberts certainly knows everything about UFOs and it manifests is lots of fun ways in his third outing as a movie director. From shapechangers to fuzzy versions and even reptiles, the gambit is well covered in Invaders from Proxima B. As for himself, he plays a character whose time on the road as a musician prevents him from being the father that he needs to be. Some viewers will remember him from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., where he plays Hugo.

And I feel this work excellently showcases not only his comedic talent but also his skill as a director. I’m fairly certain I laughed at every bit he wanted to be hilarious. Viewers not only get treated to a cartoon style adventure but also enjoy the heartfelt payoff. What’s presented is a tale I always wanted the 80s sitcom ALF to end at. After a prologue inspired by Lilo & Stitch, what happens next is certainly expected and chuckle-worthy. When Steve the Alien meets Howie (Roberts) there’s some good natured chaos and eventually, this little fuzzy thing gets “adopted” by the family.

When Matt Vesely’s Film Monolith Suggests Shaka, When The Walls Fell….

Although the Star Trek reference to Monolith may seem appropriate, there’s more going on in this tale than meets the eye, and what’s presented is eerie!

Although the Aussie made movie titled Monolith is slightly misleading, I’m sure what it’s named was intentional. This science fiction thriller about alienation has enough elements in play to suggest the building of such an edifice, but in truth what’s being assembled is revealed one brick at a time. Lily Sullivan (Evil Dead Rise) plays an unnamed journalist who’s fallen from grace. Either she didn’t give credit where it’s due, or she falsified some info just for notoriety, the damage is done.

Now, she’s trying to rebuild; she’s the voice behind the “Beyond Believable” podcast. It explores all the crazy things that go on in life that nobody wants to accept. The pressure to come up with a good story is tough, and instead of exploring the paranormal, it’s more about conspiracies. After getting a mysterious email which barely identifies why “The Brick” is dangerous and a phone number, she’s curious enough to take the bait.
