For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: 'If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?' And whenever the answer has been 'No' for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.
Steve Jobs
I've been following Hailey Knox's career ever since she dropped "Gucci Prada Balenciaga" in 2022. It's good to see someone with so much talent and love for music finally starting to the exposure she deserves. I think i've had every song she's dropped in heavy rotation. It feels like "Double Jeopardy" will be more of the same.
Bethesda presents Starfield: The Lofi Girl Remixes
I've been playing Starfield since the day it's dropped. It has everything i love in a game. And even though it's 'cool' to hate on it, I'm still loving everything about it. And one of the great aspects about the game is the excellent orchestral soundtrack that never gets old. So how do you think i felt when I discovered that Bethesda partnered with YouTube's very own Lofi Girl to produce a playlist of remixes inspired by the Starfield soundtrack? I had this up on my site awhile back but I love it so much, I had to post it twice. Enjoy!
The was a pretty 'meh' week for my pull list. We got a couple of Blood Hunt event tie-ins and a couple X-comics wrapping up the Krakoan Era. It was so light, I added Brian Bendis' latest comic run so i could play catch up. But somewhere inside this sea of 'meh', Johnathan Hickman popped up writing as one-shot starring one of the coolest Marvel villains out there... so it HAD TO BE my pick up the week!
Comic of the Week: Doom #1
Hickman / Greene
Fans of Hickman will immediately recognize his signature style—complex storytelling, intricate world-building, and deep, philosophical undertones. In Doom #1, the children of The Fantastic Four revive a near-dead Victor Von Doom in the post-apocalyptic galaxy where the planet-eating Galactus has surrender to his hunger devoured most of the known galaxy. Valeria and Franklin Richards, detail the end of the universe as they revive and power up Doom for a final confrontation with a Mad Galactus.
As usual, Hickman weaves a tale that challenges both the protagonist and the reader's perception of power and destiny. And let's be honest. Very few writers and write the inner monolgue of Doom like Hickman. Sanford Greene's rough, scratchy pencils work perfecly with this…
Tina Turner
Sauron has returned. Cast out by Galadriel, without army or ally, the rising Dark Lord must now rely on his own cunning to rebuild his strength and oversee the creation of the Rings of Power, which will allow him to bind all the peoples of Middle-earth to his sinister will. Building on Season 1’s epic scope and ambition, Season 2 of Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power plunges even its most beloved and vulnerable characters into a rising tide of darkness, challenging each to find their place in a world that is increasingly on the brink of calamity. Elves and dwarves, orcs and men, wizards and Harfoots… as friendships are strained and kingdoms begin to fracture, the forces of good will struggle ever more valiantly to hold on to what matters to them most of all… each other.
