The Galactic Ghoul is one of those crazy fun films which recalls more than a few well known and lesser known screwball sci-fi epics. No, we’re not talking about Red Dwarf. Instead I believe this film is the love child of Lexx and MST3K and the individual grew up watching Spaceballs set on repeat! This work written and directed by Simon Harrisson is a laugh a minute, and honestly, I could not take it seriously even if I tried.
This film ranks right there in the same spectrum as 1000s of Beavers, even though the genres are different. Also, I must note Vincent Hoss-Desmarais helped write this work, and it wouldn’t be fair to not mention him too. They might have taken inspiration from Lost in Space too, and I say that with fondness when considering some of the costume and surreal designs that tained the later seasons.
And honestly, I like to know which one of the two is the Space Adventure Cobra fan! There’s some vibes from this anime as the film follows the misadventures of Oscar Bravo (Vincent Hoss-Desmarias), Lieutenant Foxtrot (also Hoss-Desmarias, for reasons made known later in the film) and Xenon (Michael Richard).

After managing to collect a mystic stone (basically, the last remnants of a destroyed world) to give to her, they go their separate ways. As Oscar wants to stay behind, he’s the brave idiot who becomes a consort of sorts. And that’s when things get kinky and weird.

As we are now knee deep into Summer and resting inside tents, just what scares can comic book publishers offer? Between melting in Montreal (okay, technically we’re not as our coverage of 
Sixteen years after The Ward, 
No, although the title implies the coming of Godzilla, writer 
Julio Anta (Frontera; Sí, Se Puede) and Daniel Irizarri (Xino, Cementary Kids Don’t Die) has their own interpretation on what the Chupacabra is, and I suspect it’s time to be afraid, very afraid. According the official synopsis, what’s presented honours the legend a lot more than making it another monster of the week program.
Stay cool, Drac.
When Ravenloft is falling apart, and nobody knows why, it’s up to someone to save the day … but why? For the would-be heroes, Ez D’Avenir must escape the grisly laboratory and ghoulish flesh golems of Victra Mordenheim. The Weathermay-Foxglove twins must fend off the seething bodytaker plant on the misty moors of Mordent. And detective duo Alanik Ray and Arthur Sedgewick must deal with the cult of Mother Lorinda in a Tepest village. When the proteges are reunited, it’s in a fight for the fate of Ravenloft! And whether the gates will be sealed forever, this pocket universe may have life of its own to make final say! This read may well be written for fans of this realm, and as a late entry to Wizards of the Coast relaunch of beloved campaigns, is worth mentioning.
