Strongman Vol. 1 – Review

March 31, 2011 | | Comic Reviews

Strongman begins with a TV commercial for Big Movie Morning which is spotlighting the films of Tigre a famous at the time 70’s Luchador wrestler. It highlights his successful movie career and then his sudden disappearance from the world. We pull away from the TV to find Tigre sitting in a bar in New York, drinking very early in the morning. Tragedy struck Tigre’s life at some point and crushed his spirit, but not his strength.

His landlord rushes out and busts him saying not only is he behind on rent, but that he’s going to have to pay for the door.

A couple of weeks ago, I Heart Japan held an acution at Meltdown Comics in order to raise money for Japan. It was pretty successful on it’s own raising $6,500 on it’s own with the help of a lot of Anime voice actors and celebrity appearances. Well it seems that THQ decided to match the amount raised bringing the total to $13,000. Not bad at all. Video game publisher THQ has generously agreed to match the money raised at last week¹s WE HEART JAPAN event to go to the American Red Cross, bringing the grand total raised for victims of the quake and tsunami that night to over $13,000. On March 17th, the WE HEART JAPAN event, held at MELTDOWN COMICS raised over $6,500 for JCIE’s Japan NGO Earthquake Relief and Recovery Fund,² which provides support to local Japanese organizations that are taking part in the relief effort. THQ will be matching that amount in a donation for the American Red Cross. To date, JCIE has already transferred $20,000 to their partners in Japan to be used in the relief efforts there.

March 31, 2011 | | Comic News

You know that bass player from Life of Agony, Alan Robert? Well I don’t, but apparently he likes making horror comics. He’s launching a new one called Crawl To Me which will hopefully be at Wondercon so I can do a super early review. The premise sounds interesting, but I’ll let the press release break down the comic info and the news that Alan Robert’s first horror comic Wire Hanger is being adapted into a movie… yay! more comic movies. Alan Robert, best known for being the bassist and creative force behind the respected hard rock group, Life of Agony, has formed a new film production company, called Wasted Talent Entertainment. The first project in the pipeline is a live-action film adaptation of Robert’s own horror/crime graphic novel, Wire Hangers. Robert created, wrote and illustrated the book last year, which was published by award-winning comics publisher, IDW Publishing (30 Days of Night, Locke and Key, Zombies Vs. Robots).
