We're still a good 6 years or so before the beginning of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) here.
Before Comic book movies became the big thing they are nowadays.
Wesley Snipes returns, here, as the titular half-human/half-vampire ("all of their strengths. None of their weaknesses. Except the thirst") waging his ongoing war on the vampire nation, but now finding himself having to 'team up' with some from that nation - who had been training to hunt him - in order to fight a new breed of vampire, the Reapers (whose mouth looks like something out of Predator), who feed on both Vampires and Humans alike and who are led by that-bloke-from-Bros.
This is both more comic-booky (to coin a phrase) than the original, whilst also a bit more of a horror film - those Reapers are nasty!

Camp Fun!
I am a big fan of Noelle Stevenson after reading Nimona. It was no surprise to me that this book was awesome! This comic has the same kind of strange girls being themselves, no matter how odd or different, vibe. Mix in some weirdness, some supernatural woodland creatures, fun adventures, an overbearing camp counselor, and a camp leader who seems a little flighty, and you have Lumberjanes. The girls’ robust personalities are so varied, and are illustrated so well. It is refreshing. The book was fun, interesting, hilarious, and appropriate for everyone. I cannot wait to pickup volume 2!!!

This is a cute little kids' comic that is both fun and has some good messages. It has some surprisingly deep concepts, such as animal testing, PTSD, and agoraphobia, but touches on them in a light way so not to disturb children (hopefully). I abhor animal testing so this probably bothers me more than it would a child, although it is aliens doing the testing in the book. Besides that, the characters are cute and well-represented, the drawings are nice and clear, and the colors are vibrant and fun. A very cute book that could be expanded into a series.

Not a typical punch kick superhero show (1 more)
Visually fantastic
Mindbendingly awesome
Really loved this show!
This psychedelic mind Bender of a show always left me guessing, and almost reeling from the diversionary plot twists which added to the style in which the show projected.
The narrative was very strong and precise, yet still devoid of any cliché or predictability.
If you haven't seen it and want a comic book themed show that's way off left field... This is for you 😉

I had already decided that I probably wouldn't enjoy this film, as comic book heroes is not really a genre I embrace .Well how wrong I was, I wasn't blown away but I was interested in the story which and I did like the characters although in the final show down I was disappointed by how weak they seemed to be and how easily they were initially overcome? I guess this was to add to the drama though. Overall a solid film.

A good all out OTT comic book action blaster. The visual style and SFX are incredibly good, during the surreal "dances". By creating a fantasy world to set out the aims of their objectives to break out of a brutal orphanage, a group of girls become a deadly team taking on anyone and everyone to complete their goal. While the main story might be fairly plain, the action scenes and fantasy dream world are very entertaining. Well worth checking out!
