Dark Shadows Review
The Monito briefly reviewed the movie Dark Shadows, giving it a haiku review. Unfortunately, they did not provide any further details about the movie.
Dial H Comic Book
The first comic book discussed was Dial H, part of DC Comics’ New 52 initiative, written by China Mieville and drawn by Mateus Santolouco. It’s a modern-day version of Dial H for Hero, about a civilian who stumbles upon a magical payphone that turns him into a superhero when he dials the letters H-E-R-. The Monito seemed excited about the comic and recommended it to viewers.
Frankensteing, Alive! Alive! Comic Book
The second comic book discussed was Frankensteing, Alive! Alive!, written by Steve Niles and illustrated by Bernie Wrightson. It’s a darkly told story of Frankenstein’s monster after the events of the book and seems to be going in some interesting directions. The Monito did not provide much detail about the comic but seemed intrigued by it.
Max Payne Video Game
The video game of the week was Max Payne by Rockstar Games, known for their popular titles such as Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption, and LA Noire. This installment takes place in Brazil and features a cop turned vigilante, Max Payne, who is a bit washed up and out of shape. However, the game still includes the beloved bullet time technology and comic book-inspired visuals. Although it is the first Max Payne game not created by Remedy Entertainment or written by Sam Lake, Rockstar’s reputation suggests it will be a hit. The Monito did not provide a release date for the highly anticipated GTA but promised to keep viewers updated.
Conclusion
In this episode of The Monito, viewers were treated to a brief review of Dark Shadows, as well as discussions on two new comic books, Dial H and Frankensteing, Alive! Alive!, and the video game Max Payne. The Monito seemed excited about all three and recommended them to viewers. Stay tuned for more pop culture highlights in the next edition of The Monito.
