Monkey Squad One

Looking for a new action adventure comic? Want one that involves Superheroes, has time travel, a large robot, and zombies? Well then ladies and gentlemen, I suggest you check out Monkey Squad One by Doug Michel.

Monkey Squad One is a team of boys, Logan age 9, Connor age 11, and Brendan age 12, who work for the organization U.N.C.L.E. (Ultimate National Covert Logistics Experts). Their job, to protect the fine city of St. Louis from dangerous villains, giant monsters, and on occasion flesh eating zombies.

When they're not protecting St. Louis they're off traveling through time and/or different dimensions; where they acquire awesome futuristic weapons, or spend time in realities where Earth is solely populated by women, zombies, Nazis, or fish people.

What I love about this comic is that it has that Codename Kids Next Door feel, just on a higher maturity level and better art style.

Monkey Squad One is also an easy and quick read; though keep in mind due to a little language this one isn't recommended for the kids.

So if you're looking for a comic that is fun and easy to lose yourself in, I highly recommend you check out Monkey Squad One today!

Movie Review: Iron Sky

Have you ever wondered what it'd be like if the Nazis weren't really gone, but instead had taken over the moon? Well wait no more, for now there is Iron Sky.

Plot Synopsis

At the end of World War II the Nazis launch a secret space program to the dark side of the moon. For the next 70 years they lie in wait, constructing a massive space fortress and fleet of heavily armed flying saucers. In 2018, they make their move to take back the Earth.

Iron Sky isn't the greatest movie of all time, but if you're looking for a movie to sit, relax, and unwind with, than it's the perfect fit.

The story will keep your attention, the acting is actually good, it's well paced with the action, and the humor is well timed. Above all else though, the movie's musical score was absolutely mind blowing.

Our only real complaint was at the opening sequence of the movie. There was nothing about it that made us feel like these events were actually happening on the moon, everything was beyond fake, even the astronauts' space suits were terrible.

First ten minutes had us wondering if Iron Sky could get any more cornier and cheesier. After those ten minutes though, things turned around and we fully enjoyed the film.

Iron Sky is a 93 minute Sci-Fi comedy, rated R for strong language and some violence, stars Julia Dietze, Gotz Otto, and Christopher Kirby, and was directed by Timo Vuorensola.

We give Iron Sky a solid 3 out 5.
