Haven’t done one of these in a few months so thought I’d share some of the stuff I’ve been enjoying during September!
The Breadwinner (2017) Director – Nora Twomey
Absolutely adored this beautifully animated film by Cartoon Saloon.
I recently finished watching this series based on the science fiction horror manga by Hitoshi Iwaaki. It’s produced by Madhouse Inc. the studio behind the first season of one punch man.
Black Widow Vol. 1: S.H.I.E.L.D.’s Most Wanted – Marvel
Holy crap! This book grabs you from the first page at break neck speed and just doesn’t let go! Highly recommended for fans of Chris Samnee’s artwork, the fight choreography and explosive action sequences are something else!
One of my favourite ongoing series atm, I picked up the prelude OGN along with issues 1 & 2 and immediately added it to my pull list the next day.
Pan Nowak – Illustrator and graphic designer
Really love Krzysztof’s work, be sure to check out his instagram!
The Hater (2020) Director – Jan Komasa
An unnerving and tense Polish drama thriller, Maciej Musialowski is fantastic as the nihilistic Tomasz Giemzo.
Possessor (2020) – trailer
I’ve been avoiding the details about this film as much as possible before it’s release. If you’re not familiar with director Brandon Cronenberg I’d highly recommend watching Antiviral (2012).
The Mandalorian Season 2 (2020) – Disney+ trailer
I watched the first season during lockdown and LOVED IT! Really looking forward to the release of season 2… this is the way.
Making Comics with Matt Garvey
Matt’s infectious enthusiasm for comics and storytelling shines through as he breaks down the comic writing process into easily digestible chunks of sheer positivity. As a fan of BFOW it’s also been fun to hear him discuss some of the characters from the first issue and his future plans for the series with cocreator J Francis Totti.
OTOMO: A Global Tribute to the Mind Behind Akira – Published by Kodansha Comics
This is a gorgeous book featuring full colour high resolution reproductions of original art by more than 80 artists, illustrators, and comics creators. There’s a preview gallery here at publisher Kondasha Comics and also a great review by Vong Yonghow on his Halcyon Realms blog.
Glenariff forest has become a regular weekend walking destination for me (I’ve been 3 times in the last month). I find it’s best to get there early to secure a parking space and avoid the afternoon crowds.
