It’s 1985 and Jennifer End and Angelo Rodriguez are deeply in love. But Jennifer can never reveal their relationship to their family. The Ends are considered by some to be traditional, but by most, they are known as intolerant, discriminatory, and bigoted.

Her brother, Jack, is the worst of the bunch and a full blown, hardcore skinhead. During the summer, when Jennifer travels to Oceanside, a retirement home for veterans, to be with Angelo under the guise of visiting her grandparents, Jack discovers their relationship.

Jack is crushed by the betrayal. He decides it’s time to take a stand. Jack organizes a rally in the peaceful town of Oceanside. Soon the town is overrun by neo-Nazi youths. The police struggle to maintain control, leaving the only hope with the aging World War 2, Korean War, and Vietnam War veterans who reside in the town.

After The End, Everything is Over in Rick and Morty Forever #0 – A Double-Sized, 48-Page Comic Book Milestone Farewell Coming in May!

Posted on by Leave a comment

Oni Press and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products have announced Rick and Morty Forever #0 – a gargantuan, 48-page spectacular bidding fond farewell to Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith’s 100+ comic book issue run at Oni as we hurtle them back into the void from which they came in one last shamelessly transparent promotional stunt arriving on May 27th from nigh-omnipotent writer Daniel Kibblesmith and franchise über-veteran Troy Little! Plus: In one last expectation-defying fit of pique, this double-sized, super-key, ultra-milestone and soon-to-be-slabbed testament to greatness features the most surprising twist of all: only one cover! Even better: It’s a wraparound (!!) etched into immortality in stunning silver foil (!!!) as rendered by the incomparable Troy Little (!!!!) himself! 

Yes, the rumors are true (because we keep announcing them ourselves) Oni Press, unsatisfied with the end of THE END proudly presents Rick and Morty Forever, the final issue of Oni Press’ immortal run on the sci-fi, dimension-hopping, foul-mouthed, pretentiously beautiful, intellectual temper tantrum turned cultural phenomenon known as Rick and Morty.

How do you punish the smartest man in the universe? Show him everything—everything—he’s ever wanted to know or see, and afford him no power to do anything about it. Rick Sanchez, the destroyer of worlds. Now he sits in endless observation of all there is to see, tortured by cosmic impotence, the ultimate expression of “go to your room and think about what you did.”

But in his endless torment, Rick realizes that a fate of unspeakable horror also awaits his unwitting companion: his grandson, Morty. Can Rick save the soul of the only being that ever stood by him through all his indiscretions? Can the transformative power of love give rise to the triumph of the human spirit? Or is everything just #@$%@?

Oni Press celebrates an honest-to-goodness comic book milestone more than a decade in the making as Rick and Morty Forever #0 portals into comic shops for one last hurrah in a 48-page barrage of shock and awe – and sporting just one foil-licous cover from omniversal legend Troy Little – arriving on May 27th! 

Plus, also in May: Before FOREVER seals the deal on this eternal goodbye, Daniel Kibblesmith and Jarrett Wiliams begin their final statement on Rick on and Morty’s wildly off-the-rails mentor-pupil relationship in Rick and Morty: The End #5 (of 5) – on sale April 8! Does that make Rick and Morty Forever #0 an actual finale or more of a denouement? Only your local comic shop retailer knows for sure – be sure to ask them, they love this question!

The Mandalorian and Grogu’s Super Bowl Ad Continues to Delivers Nostalgia and a Wink to Classic Pulp Adventures

Posted on by Leave a comment

There are certain traditions that go with the Super Bowl. Lots of betting around the game, hours of pre-game coverage promoting whatever non-football related projects, over consumption of pizza and wings, and of course the one time of the year people pay attention to the ads as much as the main show. One of those ads has been Budweiser‘s Clydesdales ads. The tradition goes back to Super Bowl XX in 1986, making it now 40 years since they debuted. Many of those have been memorable, some of the highest buzzed of the game. This year’s game included an ad celebrating 150 years of Budweiser.

This year we also got a bit of a spoof of the ad with The Mandalorian and Grogu‘s big game spot and we apparently can’t have fun things because even this 36 seconds is getting venom and vitriol.

With narration similar to the well known Budweiser ads, the teaser at first seems like yet another ad by the beer company. With a similar pacing, similar tone, it’s a fantastic homage to the tradition. Add in the fact that The Mandalorian and Grogu is squarely rooted into the concept of a “space western,” and the spot feels even more appropriate.

The Polygon seems to disagree with a personal opinion saying the spot left them feeling “apathy.” The opinion piece doesn’t talk of the history of Budweiser and what the 36 second ad was going for. Budweiser is mentioned 0 times. Clydesdales are mentioned 0 times. The fact the spot was an homage/parody of the classic Super Bowl ads seems to go over the writer’s head. Thankfully comments seem to understand this and get what it was going for.

It ignores the rather new phenomenon of short teaser videos that tell audiences to fund the longer trailer online. It ignores the tone and visuals used in the previous marketing showing the film isn’t going for memorable lightsaber battles or crazy space battles, but instead a look more akin to the pulp serials of the past. It has more in common in its tone with Indiana Jones that traditional Star Wars films. The logo alone makes it clear what we should expect, something more like classic Flash Gordon than the rather serious nature of recent Star Wars releases.

It’s clear the film is going for a certain look and feel and it’s not the one used for any of the three trilogies.

For a fandom that seems to what new things, they seem to also be so rooted in rehashing nostalgia to the point of repetition and boredom. In the ideal world, we can have both. Numerous releases all set in the same world, with some delivering something different while others stick to the working formula.

But, “fandom” has morphed into something where we can’t have that. New releases must stick to a rigid formula and meet strict expectations or it’s pilloried by anonymous individuals who claim they hate the world and its stories but spend an inordinate time vilifying it and trolling dedicated pages.

I love Star Wars. One of my earliest memories is watching Return of the Jedi on the big screen when it was released. I slept out for tickets for the new editions and at least Phantom Menace and maybe more. I dislike some of Star Wars’ releases over the decades. There’s films I enjoy more than others. There’s releases I don’t enjoy. That’s actually normal.

It’s ok to not like things. It’s ok to criticize and negatively review something. And it’s then ok to move on from things you enjoyed in your childhood or even adulthood to entertainment you do enjoy. It’s strange to think everything is made for you and needs to be.

The Mandalorian and Grogu opens May 2 in theaters and you can watch The Mandalorian on Disney+ now.

D’Orc #1 is the start to a really fun, off-the-rails, fantasy adventure

Posted on by Leave a comment

Armed with nothing but a magical yet ambitiously violent shield, a lonely orphan stumbles headfirst into Sunderaine’s never-ending war between the Light and Dark. Elves vs. Orcs. Wizards vs. Common Sense. Dragons vs. Literally Everyone. And caught dead-center? D’Orc.

With a wholly inconvenient doomsday prophecy, the half dwarf, half orc—all D’Orc—is fated to end the world. Soon, every human, elf, goblin, dwarf, Snargletooth, Necroid, Ice Giant, Trauma Llama, and at least three other unpronounceable magical creatures, will know his name and want him dead. There will also be a chicken.
