Comics Squad Lunch is near perfect all age comic fun

Subscribe: RSS

When you go to your local comic book store visit the all age book section. Most likely it’s near the front of the store where they keep the all age graphic novels and chapter books. We saw Comics Squad: Lunch! on top of the counter and immediately fell in love with it. Eight different comic authors have created new stories with a common theme, in this case lunch. This book is the sequel to Comic Squad: Recess and is as perfect an introduction to all age comics as you’ll find.

Are You Listening by The Not-It’s, if not, you should be

I remember asking my father something when I was a child. He responded something along the lines of I still think like I’m in my 20’s, it just that responsibility has caught up with me. It wasn’t that profound, but his point was that his mind and interests were still the same, albeit with a couple (me and my sister) new ones. That mentality is the way I see The Not-It’s. Each member of The Not-It’s has pedigree in the Sub Pop era sound and 90’s style power pop. Their latest release, Are You Listening? presents the same spirit and alt rock chords, but with the kindie sensibilities that parents need for their children.

I was compensated both financially and in product by Hasbro for the #YokaiWatch campaign. All opinions are ours. To some parents Yo-Kai Watch is Greek. it’s that foreign thing that kids dig but parents can’t tell their Yo-Kai from their spectral anomalies. In actuality, Yo-Kai Watch isn’t Greek at all, it’s Japanese. It’s an anime show that took Japan by storm and is now in the U.S. As go the shows, so go the toys and the Yo-Kai Watch toys from Hasbro are here, full of imagination based play-with a touch of collection, mischief and giggles.

The Smurfs on Nintendo 3DS, Smurfing good gaming fun

Hey, we received a copy of the game for review, all thoughts are our own. No Smurfing way. Your favorite friendly blue characters have found themselves in a predicament. They’ve gone for a walk in the forest only to come back and find their entire village destroyed! All of their trademark mushroom houses are reduced to ripped up fungi, as well as the scaled down tables, chairs and everything else. Thankfully they live in a forest where the Smurfs can go out and gather wood, rocks and other materials to build it all again. Or rather, you can rebuild Smurf village and hopefully find out who smashed it all to bits.

Hatched, a movie that was better off in the shell

Families want, and sometimes need entertainment. It’s obviously best if said entertainment is OK for everyone in the family. It’s in that spirit that Hatched is available on DVD. Hatched is a film that will most likely rocket to the bottom of your DVD stack. Unless you’re 6 years old and this is the second movie you’ve see it’s most likely the worst animated film that you’ve seen.

44 minutes of relaxation on Netflix #StreamTeam

We were compensated for this post. All thoughts are our own and these shows really do rock. Relaxation is a prime commodity. There are some weeks where my wife and I don’t get any down time. More often than not we have to schedule the relaxation period. “44 minutes of relaxation?” is our query. I have my shows, she has her shows and we have our shows that we’ll watch on Netflix. It depends on who is able to relax. If I’m solo then it’s Luther, Continuum or other. She’s down with Gilmore Girls (shocker!) and together we really enjoy Person of Interest. There are a couple other shows thought that might just fly below your radar that are worth checking out on Netflix.
