BOOM! Studios Announces Ultra Rare BRZRKR #1 Variant Cover Signed by Keanu Reeves

BOOM! Studios revealed a brand new incentive variant cover for the highly anticipated BRZRKR #1, with art by Jonboy Meyers (Venom) and signed by the iconic Keanu Reeves for his Must Read comic book writing debut.

The man known only as B. is half-mortal and half-god, cursed and compelled to violence...even at the sacrifice of his sanity.  But after wandering the world for centuries, B. may have finally found a refuge – working for the U.S. government to fight the battles too violent and too dangerous for anyone else. In exchange, B. will be granted the one thing he desires – the truth about his endless blood-soaked existence…and how to end it.

Unboxing: Marvel Collector Corps Lucha Libre Edition

The latest Marvel Collector Corps from Amazon has finally arrived! The latest theme is Lucha Libre. The box is designed to look like a wrestling ring, which is really clever. The inside of the box contained three exclusive POP! figures, a POP! keychain, and a sticker set. Unfortunately, the figures are merely variant versions of the already released POP!'s and not totally new figures, which was what I was hoping for.

The first item in the box was an El Animal Indestructible Lucha Libre POP! figure. This figure is a variant version of the wide release Wolverine figure. This one comes in Wolverine's X-Force-themed colors; black and grey. Even though I like it, I actually prefer the original version.

Second up is an exclusive El Venenoide POP! figure. This one also uses the same mold as the wide release. The difference here is that it's a metallic version. Not too exciting.

The third POP! in the box is yet another variant of a widely released figure. This one is (again) a metallic version of El Aracno. I'm a HUGE Spider-Man fan, but this one, like the El Venenoide one, seemed pointless. 

Next up was an La Estrella Cosmica POP! keychain. It's also a metallic version and I'm beginning to think that "metallic" is the true theme of the box. 

Finally, we get a set of Lucha-themed mask stickers. The masks are themed after Captain America and Thanos. Why Funko didn't make POP! versions of the a Lucha Cap and Thanos for this box, I'll never know. I think it'd be a lot cooler than the lazy versions of the widely released POP!'s we got in this box.

Inside the MCC Lucha Libre Box:

-X-Force Variant Wolverine Lucha Libre POP! Figure

-Metallic Venom Lucha Libre POP! Figure

-Metallic Spider-Man Lucha Libre POP! Figure

-Metallic Captain Marvel POP! Keychain

-Captain America/Thanos Lucha Libre Mask Sticker Set

Kenan on NBC

This single-camera comedy follows a widowed dad, Kenan (Kenan Thompson), who’s juggling a high-profile job as the host of an Atlanta morning show and raising his two girls. As Kenan tries to move on, his father-in-law (Don Johnson), brother (Chris Redd) and co-workers all have strong opinions on the best way to live his life.  

The show centers on the familial relationships as Kenan tries to reclaim his life after his wife’s death. Kenan’s daughters are his world – the too smart Aubrey (Dani Lane) and the silly, unpredictable Birdie (Dannah Lane). He struggles to balance parenting them as a single dad and hosting his show, which leads him to reluctantly accepting help from his father-in-law. Rick was a gallivanting sax player when his daughter, Cori (Niccole Thurman), was young and missed out on a lot of her childhood, so he is aiming to make that up with his granddaughters, although his old-school parenting style doesn’t often match up to Kenan’s.  

At work, Kenan excels at his job with the help of his driven executive producer Mika (Kimrie Lewis). Mika can be tightly wound, especially when Gary, as Kenan’s not-so-managerial manager, tries to insert himself, but Mika remains a confidante and ally to Kenan. They are able to be vulnerable with one another and connect as friends … and maybe something more.  

Lorne Michaels, David Caspe, Jackie Clarke, Kenan Thompson, Ken Whittingham and Andrew Singer serve as executive producers. “Kenan” is produced by Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, in association with Broadway Video."

Your First Look at Graphic Novel GIRLSPLAINING: A (Sorta) MEMOIR

BOOM! Studios has revealed a first look at the original graphic novel GIRLSPLAINING: A (Sorta) MEMOIR, by cartoonist Katja Klengel, tackling the subjects that have shaped her life: from body shaming to the exploration of her sexuality, and from the representation of women in the media to the social pressure on women who don’t have children, available in March 2021.

Why do we fear the word “vulva” so much? Do we really have to be ashamed of our body hair? Why do gender roles in children’s toys seem to be stuck in the ‘50s? With a healthy sense of humor, an open heart, and unsparing candor, Klengel looks back on her childhood through the lens of the popular culture that shaped her identity and examines what being a woman today means to her (and really, a whole lot of us!).

GIRLSPLAINING: A (Sorta) MEMOIR is the latest release from BOOM! Studios’ award-winning Archaia imprint, home to inspiring graphic novels such as Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut, Ryan North, and Albert Monteys; The Sacrifice of Darkness by Roxane Gay, Tracy Lynne Oliver, and Rebecca Kirby; Big Black: Stand at Attica by Frank “Big Black” Smith, Jared Reinmuth, and Améziane, We Served the People by Emei Burell, The Realist by Asaf Hanuka, Girl on Film by Cecil Castellucci and Vicky Leta, Melissa Duffy, V. Gagnon & Jon Berg, New World by David Jesus Vignolli, About Betty’s Boob by Vero Cazot and Julie Rocheleau, and Waves by Ingrid Chabbert and Carole Maurel.
