A Sinner of the Deep Sea
By Akihito Tomi
The ocean covers about 70 percent of the earth's surface—a whole world, yet unknown to humanity… And in its depths, a nation, thousands of meters beneath the waves. There, the mermaid Jo has been whiling away her days in peace. But that tranquility is shattered when her friend Ryuu is locked away for breaking the gravest of undersea laws: that humans must never know of the world below.
But why would Ryuu let the secret slip? And who did she tell? The curtain rises on Jo's adventure to save her friend—and on her love..!?

Lore & Legends
(Price: $50) Whether through the actual game, a passing mention on twitter, or, heck, even Stranger Things, chances are you’ve at least heard of Dungeons & Dragons before at least once. But there’s a strong chance you don’t know the full history — one that dates back to as early as the 70s! Lore & Legends: A Visual Celebration of the Fifth Edition of the World’s Greatest Roleplaying Game is here to detail on the nitty-gritty of the game and series that continues to make its mark so many years later.
Writers Michael Witer, Kyle Newman, and Jon Peterson detail the massive history of the phenomenon that may be the greatest example of a cult fanbase. Featuring everything from the game’s impact on our culture, exclusive interviews, and more than — brace for this, fellow nerds — 900 (!) pieces of art, this is an absolute must-have...

This article contains some spoilers
In 1995, we screamed, “Hack the planet!” Today, my mom can watch any movie on her phone. When we walk around with computers in our pockets, fantasies about jacking into cyberspace and accessing vast amounts of information seem quaint, if not outright laughable. But it’s that very mundane nature that makes cyberpunk such an important genre, even in 2023.
The cyberpunk genre began in literature, first in stories published in the UK magazine New Worlds and later in novels from writers such as William Gibson (Neuromancer), J.G. Ballard (High Rise), and Philip K. Dick. These writers took a darker look at the technology of the future, showing how new inventions did nothing to change inequality and corruption, only reinforcing the worst parts of humanity.
For most people, cinematic cyberpunk is synonymous with 1982’s Blade Runner, an adaption of the Dick book Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.

Disney’s latest trend is to remake some of their animated back catalog into “live-action” films. Live-action is in quotes because movies like The Lion King is still animated but with CGI instead of live actors. With The Little Mermaid hitting theaters, it seems to be a winning strategy as the box office numbers keep increasing and a new generation of fans discover these great Disney stories. What other animated films not made by Disney could use a live-action remake?
The Iron Giant (1999)
This classic story from director Brad Bird is primed for a live-action version. We saw in Ready Player One that a CGI Iron Giant running around looks pretty good in live-action. You might as well get the real thing. When a giant robot comes from outer space, he befriends a young boy named Hogarth. While the two find fast friends in each other, not everyone else feels the same way.

Michael B. Jordan made his directorial debut with "Creed III," getting the chance to have the ultimate creative input to the trilogy he's been starring in since 2015. The "Rocky" films developed the blueprint for the ultimate underdog sports movie, and while the "Creed" trilogy obviously owes a great debt to the Sylvester Stallone-starring series that came before, it's clear that directors Ryan Coogler, Steven Caple Jr., and now Jordan have found their own ways to allow these new films to stand on their own. One of the biggest ways "Creed III" found its individuality was by incorporating elements of anime into the blocking, framing, and editing of the fight choreography. Jordan is a longtime fan of anime, frequently citing shows like "Dragon Ball Z" and "Naruto" as massive influences on his approach to directing the film, and even showing co-star Jonathan Majors some of his favorite anime before filming began.

If Danny Boyle stopped making movies after "Trainspotting," he would have already earned his spot as one of the most influential British directors of all time. Since then, he has developed a reputation as something of a national treasure, winning an Oscar for "Slumdog Millionaire" and overseeing the quirky opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympics in London.
But is he any good? That's something I'm still not sure about. Far too often he favors flash over substance and his stylistic choices are such a mixed bag. At best, his hyperkinetic flourishes serve the material really well. The rapid-fire editing and nightmarish fantasy sequences in his landmark "Trainspotting" put us right inside the skittish psyche of a bunch of Edinburgh junkies, while the special effects and visions of saints employed in "Millions" effectively evoked the rich make-believe world of its child protagonists. At his worst, Boyle's attention-grabbing techniques can overpower a story,...
