No, that's the Rozen Zulu from Gundam Unicorn. Tranzor Z is the American name of Mazinger Z.

To be on topic, here's a poster for the most recent Mazinger Z anime, Shin Mazinger Z Impact!



and the inspiration for Batman v Superman, Mazinger Z vs. Devilman

Jae Lee is also getting paid doing promo material for Inhumans (which looks like poo poo but good for him).

I used to like Jae Lee, but once I noticed his style is to dump a gallon of black sharpie on the page I got really tired of him. It's more noticable in comic interiors than covers.

If you squint they all look like mish-mashes of Gipsy and Striker that have had their height and weight sliders adjusted ever so slightly.

Yeah, I thought it was pretty obvious that Otachi and Leatherback had been custom-designed to gently caress up Cherno, Typhoon, and Striker because of Charlie's drift and Charlie knew that those three were active-duty while Gypsy was retired after Mako's incident.

Still, Cherno and Typhoon were the only really interesting-looking mechs in the movie. Didn't even get to see the colossal flamethrowers Cherno was supposedly armed with or its electrified fists.

I got given one of those Dark Tower comics and it's just annoying to what lengths they go not to draw any eyes. A character can be standing upright in daylight and still their face is a bunch of pinched, squinting shadows.

Not really, it's part of his aesthetic.

His art is really good but not really suited for widespread use.

Kind of a generic poster that doesn't really tell me much.

That poster for the Vault looks bizarre if you've seen the trailer. Trailer looks like a horror movie, poster looks like a Robert Rodriguez action flick.

I'll likely see it but I have no clue what it is about Texas Chainsaw Massacre that screams prequel. At this point most of the TCM sequels are reboots or prequels, it's bizarre.

I feel like most of it is that, all the things you can do with an established, already-murdery Leatherface have been done. '74 basically closed the book on serious takes on that concept, and then 2 closed the book on goofy comedic ones. The only remaining interesting question is "how the gently caress does someone go from a presumably-normal baby to Leatherface?"

e: The franchise is also kinda let down by the rest of the Sawyer family being uninteresting at best. Chop Top is the only one who even has character traits besides "redneck" and "cannibal," Bill Moseley's too old to play him nowadays, and if you tried recasting Chop Top horror fans might actually form a lynch mob against you.

Sammy Davis Jr. Jr. is also in repose.
Do they really need to explain why Leatherface is a nut? His family is batshit and he doesn't really have the mental capacity to resist the way he was brought up. What more is there? Are they going to make him an orphan or something that the family got a hold of and made evil? It's dumb. And the poster is awful.

It's been on the shelf for a while (it was filmed two years ago) and is premiering first on DirecTV rather than getting a significant theatrical release, so I wouldn't be too optimistic.

But what does "the way he was brought up" even look like? I feel like there's interesting material for a horror movie in that.

Counterpoint: it's by the Inside dudes, so this might be less because it's bad and more because it's utterly disgusting. :v: Inside went DTV here largely because the R-rated version had to be butchered until it was unrecognizable.
