Here's What's New This Week:
Gift of Expression - New writer, Belinda Sanchez reviews this book of poetry from M. Duane Rawls.
Excerpt: "I've always been a major fan of poetry, so when G-Pop decided to pass a book of poetry on to me to review, I couldn't resist. I always love to read things by new and interesting artists and, having never heard of M. Duane Rawls, I jumped at the chance to see what this virtually unknown poet had to offer..."
My Super Ex-Girlfriend - Ismael Manzano reviews the comedy which asks the question - what happens when a superhero in a relationship gets dumped?
Excerpt: "I was first interested in seeing this movie in the theaters, but due to complications with budgeting, scheduling and the fact that my wife did not want to see it, I was forced to wait until it came to video. And then, due to her really not wanting to see it, I was forced to wait until I was home sick and could order it on my cable IO to watch it. Well, it's been a long wait, but I here's my review of My Super Ex-Girlfriend..."
Platina: Volume 1 - Melissa Minners reviews the latest manwha graphic novel from Yeon Joo Kim.
Excerpt: "When I received Platina: Volume 1 by Yeon Joo Kim, I had never before read manhwa, the Korean equivalent to manga. In fact, I hadn't read much manga either. But, G-POP.net is about trying new things, so I decided that, rather letting one of the other writers here review the book, I would try my hand at it..."
Encores of the Week:
Birds of Prey: Perfect Pitch - Melissa Minners reviews the latest trade paperback featuring Oracle, Black Canary, Huntress and a cast of new members who belong to the crime fighting group known as the Birds of Prey.
Excerpt: "When we last left the Birds in Birds of Prey: The Battle Within, we found them without a permanent headquarters after the Gotham Clocktower burned to the ground. Oracle had nearly died thanks to Braniac's invasion of her body and Helena had set off on her own after learning the true reason that Oracle had accepted her as a member of the team. The trade paperback Birds of Prey: Perfect Pitch covers issues 86-90 and 92-95 of the Birds of Prey comic book series distributed by DC Comics..."
What Worked and What Sucked: ABC's 2006-2007 Fall Season Edition - Justine Manzano reviews the 2006-2007 fall season shows from ABC.
Excerpt: "The time has come when series television is taking a small break for the Fall season. This is also the time that I can't help but crawl out of the woodwork and analyze the decisions the network made with the seasons. Over the coming weeks, I will be praising, complaining and sometimes just rolling my eyes at what the fall television season brought us…and also what it stole from us. The perfect compliment to our First Impressions series, I can't wait to take a bite. Just remember that the series I will discuss are strictly those I watched, so if you feel I missed something, write your own article and we'll be glad to print it! This week, let's look at ABC's schedule..."
You On A Diet: The Owner's Manual for Waist Management - Melissa Minners reviews the popular book from MDs Roizen and Oz.
Excerpt: "Reading the title of this book, you are probably wondering how it is possible for a book about dieting to be considered as a form of entertainment. In fact, just the word "diet" probably induces an involuntary moan of agony. But You on a Diet, by Doctors Michael F. Roizen and Mehmet C. Oz, somehow manages to come off as very entertaining, in spite of the subject matter..."
