Read morePopCultHQ Comic Book Review – Imperium #12 From Valiant Comics
Imperium #12 from Valiant, available now, continues with “The Vine Imperative – Chapter 4: Between Then and Now” story. The issue focuses on the present day and the past (1968) when Toyo Harada was once being hunted by an assassin, Lord Vine-99 (LV-99), a genetically engineered alien trained in marksmanship. There is a dichotomy that exists between the psiot and the Vine that keeps the reader engaged and intrigued. The shared psychic, collective consciousness of the Vine operatives, or plantings, makes for an enthralling concept. There is a satisfying story in the works and what appears to be a compelling confrontation in the

COMING SUMMER/FALL 2016 FROM INSANE COMICS Ximphonic Versus: Fabula Cristallum Thronus. PopCultHQ Review: I have been very fortunate to get a special exclusive sneak peek at Ximphonic Versus, thanks to fine people of Insane Comics and Ximphonic Versus‘ phenom artist Xing Xin. What a privilege it was, to get a glimpse of what fans will be blown away by when this jaw-dropping fantasy tale is launched this coming summer/fall. What I can say so far about Ximphonic Versus; is that it will be a grand-epic of its own hyper-fantasy, sci-fi design. While I would like to compare this to something….I just can’t. There is nothing in

Read moreNight of the Fire-Beast #1 – From Insane Comics: PopCultHQ Comic Book Review
STORY/ART – CHRISTOPHER MARTINEZ STORY/SCRIPT – JONATHAN CLODE STORY/SCRIPT & COVER ART – JAMES BIGGIE The story goes that “Night of the Fire-Beast” comes from a long-lost monster movie created from Randall Williamson, a man who wanted to cash in on the fame of the big sci-fi monster movie phenomenon. While the owner of these (as some my call “knock-offs”) B-rated studio movies, was so darn cheap, that he barely even gave writers or actors credits for their hard labors. Filmed in Mexico and using English stage actors. Even with all the lack of funding, Night of the Fire-Beast ended
