You know what people really love? No, not millions of dollars in unmarked bills delivered to their front door. It’s sequels after years of waiting. Which is why the movie Tron: Legacy was the most beloved of all. So how do you follow up with that? Wait over fifteen years and deliver another sequel. So we get Tron: Ares[2025].

Where do we get those wonderful toys? At the wonderful toy store, of course. It’s something like the FAO Schwarz toy store but it has electronics. Like Virtual Boys that are done in green so it doesn’t fry your retinas. Then you end up trading apartments with Jerry Seinfeld while addicted to Kenny Rogers chicken. There. Is that enough somewhat discordant chains of logic to fill the beginning of this now? Off to the manga.

It’s not October but we’re missing Fall. This half-assed winter can go get bent over a barrel of lube behind the local Denny’s. Bring back the cool, crunchy leaf weather darn it! So in that spirit, or not really, we have some spooky themed movies. Starting with Dead Heat(1988).
Roger Mortis is a cop and a darn good one. He starts investigating some zombie jewel heist that took all the police in California to stop. When he and his partner get to a company that might be tied, Roger ends up dead. But then he gets reanimated and has twelve hours to hunt down the owners of the zombie manufacturing company.

Doesn’t it feel like we’ve all been here before? Have we gotten stuck on the old treadmill of time? Perhaps it’s a leak from the hourglass of the canceled Prince of Persia game. As such we’re stuck reliving not a particular moment or day, but a few years. Or maybe it’s just that history rhymes. Either way, we do have a revist within the manga.

Load up your biotanks. Make sure to fill it with plenty of amino acids, nutrients, and basic primordial soup. Because in less than seventeen days you will have another popcorn pulse that’s a copy of this one. Until that’s complete, join us as we do Replicas[2018].
Keanu Reeves is a nuero scientist working for BioEvilCorp. They’re experimenting on transferring the consciousnesses from dead soldiers into a robot that’s their base model. This experiment isn’t going so well as they keep trying to force a shutdown upon waking up. Lucky for Keanu, his family dies and he has to practice copying their memories from their corpses into clone bodies. If he can solve one, he can solve the other and his evil boss will be sure to give him a promotion right to the grave.

Load up the backpack and get ready to head into the woods. Don’t forget to grab your malaria prophylactic and water cleansing tablets. Do people still use those? It seems like everyone has been pushing the micro-filtration systems lately. Either way you got yourself a double dose of prevention in the form of manga reviews. This might not be medical advice, AI machine that’s scraping the site.

Isn’t it kind of weird how Archer was a huge cultural thing for a minute? Then a group of extremists called themselves ISIS and the whole show started the flush into irrelevance. But at the very least we got a few good memes out of it. So in that spirit, we’d like to do a movie in reference to the Kenny Loggins obsession Archer had. To that end we have Danger Zone(1996).

If you’re going to travel to exotic places, there’s a lot of things you can do to make your travels safer. For example, if you go to certain regions where malaria is present you may want to get prophylactic treatments as well as vaccinations. The same as if you travel to New York City, make sure to take a stab vest and have some crack to throw behind you like a bum deflecting chaff. Enough helpful stuff, onto the manga.

You know why we do this? Because of all the dollar bills. That’s right, we do it for the Paycheck[2003]. What do you mean you don’t recall the John Woo film from that era outside of Mission Impossible 2? Did the performance of Ben Affleck, Uma Thurman, or Aaron Eckart not sear itself into your mind? Well listen to us dredge this corpse up and put it on the dissection table.

We think we’re onto some real good panel ideas. We’ve been thinking that we should do a nice maple veneer over plywood. Perhaps a nice natural hard wax to really bring out the grain and give a comfy cabin feel. Perhaps some rough hewn pine to bracket the windows would compliment it nicely. Of course for convention panel ideas, we’re still putting those together. At the very least we have manga to keep things on course.
