New Media To Watch In October 2017

It's all about the video this month, as I am still working through the audio books and graphic novels from last month.

Rick and Morty:

 Season 3 is the third season of Rick and Morty. The season will consist of 10 episodes. It was first announced by [adult swim] in August 2015, and premiered without warning on April 1, 2017 as an April Fools stunt. The first episode was looped for the entire night on its first airing on the channel.

Star Wars Rebels:

The first season of the animated television series Star Wars Rebels premiered on October 3, 2014 on the Disney Channel, beginning with the one-hour television movie Star Wars Rebels: Spark of Rebellion. The full series began on Disney XD with the premiere of the episode "Droids in Distress" on October 13, and it ended with "Fire Across the Galaxy" on March 2, 2015. The season is executive produced by Dave Filoni, Simon Kinberg, and Greg Weisman.


The first season, set five years before Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, follows the crew of the starship Ghost in the early days of the fight against the Galactic Empire. The crew attracts the attention of Agent Kallus of the Imperial Security Bureau, who wants to eliminate them as a threat before they can spark a wider rebellion; and the Grand Inquisitor, a dark sider who is tasked with killing any Jedi who survived Order 66—including Kanan Jarrus and his new apprentice, Ezra Bridger. The crew of the Ghost will eventually help form the Rebel Alliance.

Batman and Harley Quinn:

 Batman and Nightwing discover that Poison Ivy and Floronic Man have teamed up. Much to their reluctance, they decide to look for Harley Quinn (Ivy's best friend and Joker's usual sidekick), to find out where the duo are hiding; however, Harley has gone off the grid since getting paroled. Batman leaves finding Harley to Nightwing, while he gets information from A.R.G.U.S..

Batman vs. Two-Face:

 Batman and Robin are invited to a top-secret demonstration hosted by Professor Hugo Strange and his assistant Dr. Harleen Quinzel, that may eventually change the future of Gotham forever. Along the way, Batman takes a stop at Gotham State Penitentiary to visit Catwoman (whose suicide attempt from the first movie somehow failed) to give her a book on poetry by Elizabeth Barret Browning; something to keep her occupied for the next 36 months of her life until she is let out of prison for good. At the laboratory, they meet district attorney and Bruce Wayne's ally in the war against crime, Harvey Dent, who is famous for having stopped a coin counterfeit, keeping a two faced quarter as a souvenir from the case.

Starship Troopers: Traitor of Mars:

 After the events of Invasion, Johnny Rico has been demoted to the rank of colonel and relocated to a Martian satellite to train a new batch of troopers. Unfortunately, these troopers are some of the worst low-performing Rico has ever trained as Mars overall has low support for the war, seeing their planet unaffected by the bug conflict and even suggesting pulling out from the war. Because of their laid back attitude, the denizens of Mars weren't ready when the bugs attacked. Unknown to everyone, Sky Marshall Amy Snapp executes her plans for power.


Snapp hatched her own plans to destroy Mars while gaining popular support for doing it. She's well aware of the bug nest growing under Mars for some time, but she decided to take advantage of the bug attack to gain social and political support to scuttle the whole planet. She staged a fleet attack run on the Arachnid Quarantine Zone (AQZ) as a massive distraction. While no one notices, she plans to capture General Carl Jenkins, then fabricate a story in which the Federation was too distracted in the AQZ to save Mars and had to detonate a Q-Bomb (planet destroyer) to cleanse the bug threat and Carl will be blamed for the loss of Mars. Unfortunately, nothing went according to plan.

Preston Comic Con 2017

It's that time of year again, Preston Comic Con 2017 has come around. We had booked our tickets well in advance, and glad we did, so many people turned up on the day to stand and wait for tickets to get in......
 Anyway this is the second time we have been and this year it had grown a little bit more which is good, still a long way to go to compete with the larger venues that I see online but nice to be there.
 Here's a good handful of images that I took, unfortunately I'm having problems with my camera lately and these are the ones that I have managed to crop and edit to share, think it's time to look for a new camera.
 Still a good time was had, saw some great cosplay, and the boys picked up some cool custom lego figures which I will have to do a post on.

2017 August

It was a very busy month August. I guess being part of the school summer holidays helps to make it that bit more busier, but we really didn't stop much at all......
 From walks with the dog, car-boot, tenpin bowling, airshow, a tv show recording, fun days out and so much more...

Stranger Things 2 Character Posters

I'm a bit of a fan of Stranger Things being of that age that was the early 80's, all things Goonies, E.T. and Close Encounters of the Third Kind( I know this is more late 70's, but still me). Anyway loved the first season and so looking forward to what they can do with the second.
 They have just released 12 character posters.
