Shiba Inu Rooms Vol. 2 keeps up the adorable but also delivers some surprises

Posted on by Leave a comment

A new home filled with the ghosts of Shiba Inu. What could go wrong?

When high schooler Kori Momose goes apartment hunting to be closer to her new school, she comes across a one-bedroom unit at a shockingly cheap price. What’s the catch? The ghost of a Shiba Inu dog named Mu is bound to the apartment! But for a girl as icy and awkward as Kori, is sharing a life with the fiery Mu too tall an order?

Kori has grown accustomed to life with Mu, her Shiba Inu ghost. She now spends her days helping him make friends, cleaning him when he’s drenched from nose to tail in ketchup, and realizing that she’s regularly smiling for the first time in a long time. Until one day, when Kori returns home from school to find that somehow, Mu has left the apartment he haunts…

Bedford Street is a hauntingly beautiful graphic novel about the dysfunction of everyday life

Posted on by Leave a comment

Bedford Street is an Altman-esque, darkly comic exploration of social decay, hardship, recklessness, and isolation composed of loosely interwoven stories of different sets of characters living on the same street.

An alcoholic beneficiary is tasked with looking after his teenage son for a weekend. A nurse is faced with a violent altercation after her late-night shift. A single mother struggles with the sudden onset of crippling back pain while trying to keep her drug-addicted former partner at bay. A homeless man tries to readjust to life on the outside after a period of incarceration. A young father succumbs to boredom and lust.

These are some of the lives of the inhabitants of Bedford Street, an all-too-familiar place where those at the less fortunate end of the ever-widening spectrum of inequality reside. People leading modest lives in challenging circumstances where disenfranchisement is high and a sense of community is low. All packed together and teeming with a chaotic energy, some submitting to their worst impulses, others trying their best despite it all.

Bedford Street forms a mosaic image of lives lived in the maelstrom of a cost-of-living crisis, increasing rates of unemployment, and an age of individualism where isolation and alienation is rife. Murray’s skillful storytelling and combination of pathos and dark humour explores how we navigate life and care for one another in a disconnected society.

Dune Messiah: The Graphic Novel Book 1 is interesting but not exciting with inconsistent art

Posted on by Leave a comment

A visually stunning graphic novel adaptation of Frank Herbert’s Dune Messiah, this volume brings one of science fiction’s most pivotal stories to life in a bold, immersive new format.

Adapted by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson and illustrated by Michael Shelfer, Dune Messiah: Book 1 transforms the iconic sequel into a cinematic graphic experience.

Rich, detailed artwork captures the scale of Arrakis and the complexity of its characters, while the visual format sharpens the story’s core tensions―power, religion, and destiny―with new immediacy.

Paul Atreides is now Emperor of the known universe―but absolute power has made him both a ruler and a target. Revered as a messianic figure by the Fremen and feared by rival houses, Paul must confront a growing conspiracy that threatens to unravel his reign. As political enemies close in and his prophetic visions begin to shift, the future of his empire―and the people he loves―hangs in the balance.

Perfect for fans of the Dune films, longtime readers of the novels, and newcomers alike, this adaptation offers a unique view of the saga’s darker second act. Whether you’re returning to Paul Atreides’s story or encountering it for the first time, this edition delivers a compelling, visually driven way to experience a landmark work of science fiction.

The first installment of a two-part adaptation, Dune Messiah: Book 1 is an essential addition to any graphic novel or science fiction collection―and a powerful new way to experience the world of Arrakis.

Like the bestselling volumes in the first series of Dune graphic novel adaptations, Dune Messiah features a spectacular painted cover by artist Bill Sienkiewicz.

Dems Take Texas including Former Dragon Ball Z Composer for Attorney General

Posted on by Leave a comment

It was a political earthquake on Tuesday, November 3 as Democrats swept back into office taking a majority in the United States House and Senate and flipping seats that were thought to be impossible along with flipping Governors, State House, local races. It was an explosion of blue. One of the biggest surprise of the nights was not just the Democratic win for Senator in Texas or even Governor, but the sweeping down ballot races that flipped the ruby red state to currently blue. One of those wins was Nathan Johnson who will be the next Texas attorney general defeating Republican Mayes Middleton. Why are we covering a state attorney general race? Johnson is also a former composer for Dragon Ball Z.

Johnson, the first Democrat to hold the position of Texas attorney general in 27 years, had previously composed musical scores for Dragon Ball Z and five of its movies. That’s 67 episodes of the anime series during the 2000s as well as 5 movies.

In a video posted to Facebook, Johnson recalls his time composing for the anime and films.

Beyond Dragon Ball Z, Johnson also provided his voice in the dubbing for Berserk: The Golden Age Arc III – The Advent and Berserk: The Golden Age Arc I – The Egg of the King.

Beyond composer, Johnson has an impressive resume include a bachelor’s degree in physics from the University of Arizona and a law degree from the University of Texas at Austin. He is also a litigator and mediator at the Dallas office of law firm Thompson Coburn LLP. Johnson entered politics as a Democrat and was elected to the Texas State Senate in November 2018 and took office in 2019.

Posted on by Leave a comment

Welcome to General, Gotham City’s tier one trauma center. Power is out, fires are burning, transpo is shot, and the calls just keep coming. There are more patients than beds, half presenting with respiratory complications, the other half suffering hallucinogenic psychotic episodes. In every other emergency department in the DCU, this would be a catastrophe. For Dr. Ava Dastur and the men and women working at General, it’s a Tuesday.
