- Tenchi Muyo OVA (blu) – This is near and dear to me since it is one of the first anime series I ever watched. It’s the classic setup. A high school kid suddenly finds out he’s the focus of attention from an ancient alien pirate, an alien princess, a super scientist, a space cop, oh and he is in the middle of an intergalactic power struggle. Yah know a basic day at the office … in anime land. Adventure and hi jinx ensue.
- Santa Claus Conquers the Martians: Remastered Edition (blu/dvd) – This 1964 um … classic, has been lovingly restored. You too can now witness the absurdity that has made this a MST3K staple.

Comics:
Marvel:

- Ultimate Comics: Iron Man #2 (of 4) – The Mandarin’s twisted plot continues to unfold, and a secrect has turned War Machine from friend to foe
DC:
- Action Comics #15 – Superman is on trail! His jury, the Anti Superman Army. With Grant Morrison at the writing helm ya know it’s gonna be good. Plus it only issue 15, pick up the trade and then it’s just a few back issues to be current!
- Jack Kirby’s Fourth World Omnibus #4 (TP) – This 4th collected volume of Kirby’s work is wroth looking at, if for no other reason than he has be foundational for most of what we understand to be comics today. The Fourth World stories are also important because it was in these stories that Kirby’s imagination was given much more free reign, which was at times confusing but always interesting.
Indie:
- Cyber Force #2 – There’s a conspiracy a foot and the corporation CDI is at the heart of it. Can the Cyber Force push the mega corp into revealing their hand? And remember these first five issues are FREE!
- Storm Dogs #2 – a forensic autopsy reveals further mysteries and interacting the native aliens is proving challenging. This deep space mystery deepens.
- Shadowman #2 – One of the stronger titles of the Valiant universe returns (somehow i missed seeing issue 1) and New Orleans is under demonic siege. Can the new Shadow man live through this nightmare night?
Web:
