Every week there are tons of newly released films, Blu-rays, books, comics, and CDs, but the truth is, very few of them are worth your time. That’s where this feature comes in. Each posting attempts to highlight the best new media releases of the coming week. It’s far from exhaustive, and of course it will be mostly according to my taste, but I’ll try to do my best to include a wide variety, so hopefully you’ll see something that interests you too.
Angel & Faith: Live Through This
I’ve written about the comic series Angel & Faith before. It’s the official continuation of Angel’s story, executive produced and plotted by Joss Whedon himself, and tying into the Buffy Season 9 series, also from Dark Horse. The first trade, this week’s Live Through This, collects issues 1-5. It’s a very strong opening arc, and well worth picking up.
Pixar’s 12th feature film will be released this week. It’s the first film from the studio to feature a female lead, and also their first foray into the world of the fairytale. Coming off the disappointing Cars 2, this one will be closely scrutinized as audiences look to see if Pixar has lost its magic touch, or if Cars 2 was the abnormality. Early reviews are strong, but not fantastic, so the final verdict is yet to arrive. Regardless, it’s certainly worth checking out.
Sleep well,
