Vandroid #1 Preview

Ah, the ’80s. The best music. The bets cartoons. The best fashion. Um..maybe not that last one, but it was a magical time, and on February 26 we can return.

Vandroid is a new 5 issue mini-series from Dark Horse, with the unique premise that it’s based on a lots film from the 1980s. The website is worth checking out too, with more preview pages, and a great, oh-so-80s score sample. It’s obvious this is a nostalgic, radical labour of love for the creators.

When Palm Springs Entertainment studios burned to the ground in 1984, the most definitive motion picture of a generation was lost before its time. Thirty years later, the extraordinary talents of Tommy Lee Edwards, Noah Smith, and Dan McDaid unite to resurrect this lost epic.

* Complete the Vandroid experience with the remastered soundtrack from Ed Banger Records and the unearthed 1984 movie trailer at Vandroid.com!

Cheap Captain America Comics

There’s good synergy going on lately between Marvel Comics and Marvel Studios. Now if only DC/Warner Bros. could do the same. Opening in April is the Captain America sequel, The Winter Soldier, which means now is a great time to get to know the characters from the comics, such as Black Widow, The Winter Soldier and of course, Cap himself. I haven’t read most of these on-sale collections, but I can recommend The Longest Winter story.

All of the comics on sale at Marvel’s digital comics shop are collections, (otherwise knows as Trade Paperbacks), which means you get a few issues of a monthly series together, to tell one, complete story. Check out the 4 options below, or here.
