Leah rambles about the Fae, manga to anime adaptation, and a very kind but questionable Monster Boyfriend after reading the first volume of The Ancient Magus’ Bride by Kore Yamazaki (Seven Seas Entertainment). Raven inexplicably can’t stop thinking about a sitcom about attractive white 20-somethings in New York City after reading a bloody love letter to 90’s action movies in the form of Kill Them All by Kyle Starks (Oni Press).
Things We Mentioned:
The Films of Hayao Miyazaki (animated film director and co-founder of Studio Ghibli); credits include Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki’s Delivery Service, and Howl’s Moving Castle
Kurt Russell (actor); credits include action features like Big Trouble in Little China, Escape from New York, Deepwater Horizon, John Carpenter’s The Thing, Tango & Cash, Soldier, Stargate, Grindhouse, and, of course, Guardians of the Galaxy 2!
Faerie Lore of the British Isles (folklore); while there is folklore about fairies throughout Europe, we specifically discussed that most connected to the stories that originate in the British Isles and Ireland, with special mention to the Isle of Mann.
Elias (WWE Superstar); everything is wrestling, y’all.
“AU” or, Alternate Universe (trope); often used in fanfiction that takes characters from a property and inserts them into a universe different than the one they already inhabit.
Hellboy II: The Golden Army (film directed by Guillermo del Toro); Tooth fairies....look 'em up.
Labyrinth (film directed by Jim Henson); much like in tales of the Fae, goblins steal Jennifer Connolly's baby brother and David Bowie is magical.
Labyrinth: Coronation (Boom Studios limited comic series); this series explores the origin of the famed David Bowie character of the aforementioned film, Jareth, King of the Goblins.
Dragon Ball Z (Anime & manga series by Akira Toriyama); among the most loved and recognized shounen series of all time
My Hero Academia (Anime & manga series); more strong people doing punching to save the world
Dragon Quest (video game); Toriyama designed the characters in this classic series.
“This isn’t even my final form!” (meme); This is DBZ’s greatest cultural contribution
