“SEE WAKANDA, AND DIE!” PART 1

3-part tie-in to “Secret Invasion,” written by guest-writer Jason Aaron (WOLVERINE)!
When the Skrulls come to town, it’s all-out war in Wakanda. The alien invaders have war ships, advanced technology, super-powered soldiers and an army that outnumbers the Wakandans ten to one. Cake walk, right? Think again. There’s a reason Wakanda had never been conquered – and the Skrulls are about to find out why…the hard way.

R5 Central - Part 2 of the Mark Musashi Interview!

29 07 2008

The first time he appeared on the show, the sheer awesomeness that Mark Musashi (Cutie Honey THE LIVE, GARO, Sh15uya) emitted interfered with Keith’s iPod mic, rendering it unable to finish the interview that they had started at the Dragon Knight wrap party. Now, thanks to the wonders of Skype, Mark Musashi returns for a second interview, ready to give all sorts of interesting behind-the-scenes anecdotes, along with some things you probably didn’t know about the guy in the first place!

In this portion: Behind the scenes stories from Cutie Honey THE LIVE (including the genesis of everybody’s favorite line!), talk of Kamen Rider Dragon Knight, and a possible hint at the next installment of the Kamen Rider THE FIRST saga!

Kiva Webisode: Episode 1

28 07 2008

Found this little ditty over by our friends at Angry Zen Master who unfortunately isn’t enjoying Kiva like I am. Den-O I found absolutely terrible because it had no heroes that I could look up to or identify with. A Rider should be one I look up to to protect myself and the innocent. Ryoutarou just didn’t do it for me. And I thought I’d have the same problem here with Wataru, but in comes 1986 and the charismatic Otoya and what I find to be quite the intiguing storyline seeing how each of the time period parallel each other, intertwine and I’m curious as to how the heroes in 1986 will end up. I love them one and all, but all signs indicate they eventually either die or trapped inside Caslte Dran.

Anyway, word is these Webisodes are being released to coincide with the upcoming movie which I hope won’t suck like every single Kamen Rider Movie I’ve ever seen. Click, enjoy then swing on into the forums to chat it up.

HENSHIN!
