Title: Grimm Fairy Tales Presents: Robyn Hood

Despite what the cover may have you believe, this book is no ‘bust’. Robyn Hood provides a unique and fresh perspective on the character we all know and love who stole from the rich and gave to the poor.  In this book, Robyn (notice the different spelling) is a young girl who comes from the realm: Myst.  Fairy tales are integrated into this, and several other, realms as you’ll quickly discover throughout the dialogue.  Subtle hints are dropped to other realms that exist as characters, you may be familiar with, are mentioned.

MEMORIAL Returns With Some
“Imaginary Fiends”!

Chris Roberson and Rich Ellis Launch a New Digital Miniseries!

Memorial: Imaginary FriendsPress release

IDW Publishing is thrilled to announce the follow-up to the acclaimed miniseries MEMORIAL, by Chris Roberson (Edison Rex, iZombie), Rich Ellis (Stars Below, Twilight Zone), and Grace Allison (Wander)! MEMORIAL: IMAGINARY FIENDS is a brand-new, digital-only return to the colorful world of the original series.

"The first Memorial miniseries that Rich Ellis and I did was always intended to be the beginning of Em’s story, not the end,” said series co-creator and writer Roberson. “With Imaginary Fiends, we have the opportunity to pick up where the first miniseries left off, and explore more of the world (or WORLDS) that she and the other characters inhabit. This time around, we visit the Land of Maybe, and see what effect its destruction has had on the real world, in a story that’s all about childhood, parenthood, imagination, memory, and loss. Also, talking cats and dragons."

Toy Review: Kraang by Playmates Toys

Kraang

Who knew having a brain was so much fun?

Figure: Kraang
Line: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Manufacturer: Playmates Toys
Retail: $8.99 US

Ok. Here’s the thing with me and toys… I don’t necessarily have to be into a “property” to buy some (all) of the figures. If a figure is “cool” or “unusual” enough, I’ll gladly fork over the bucks for it. Likewise, I can really be into a property, but if the figures are stupid, I won’t get them.
