‘Metalocalypse: Army Of The Doomstar’ Ending Explained & Movie Summary: Did Dethklok Find Salvation?
Adult Swim’s cult classic death metal parody series Metalocalypse has brought their latest venture in the form of the animated movie Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar, which concludes the lush beauty of the gory, satanic spectacle, the bone-tickling humor, and profanity-filled self-awareness of the series with one last death smash and headbanger. Centered around the fictional death metal band Dethklok, the series pokes fun at the exalted mannerisms and myths generally associated with the heavy metal genre and celebrates its tropes and impact. It is unknown whether Kiminori Wakasugi’s manga series based on a similar subject matter, Detroit Metal City, inspired the creation of the series, but what we know for sure is that the original albums, expansive in-universe lore, and live tours in the real world have imbued a uniqueness to Metalocalypse, something that is far from waning even after a decade since the original series’ cancellation.

Have you heard the Plastic Beach yet? Isn’t it brilliant? It’s beautifully consistent, which is something the whole Gorillaz project has been gravitating towards since their first record, which was a collision of the various styles that Damon Albarn was noodling with since he got bored with Britpop. Plastic Beach strives for one mostly uniform style — melancholy electro hip-hop — which is a bit of a continuation of Blur’s Think Tank. Damon even does a bit of rapping on that record, too. It also helps that he fills the album with artists I enjoy like Gruff Rhys, Mos Def, Lou Reed and De La Soul.
So welcome to This Week in Comics, where I can totally talk about Gorillaz because of the Tank Girl connection…Not that I needed an excuse.

Whoops. Last week I forgot to write an introduction so I ended up leaving in something I wrote for the first column.
Now here’s a totally interesting peek at what goes on behind the scenes:
If you pay close attention to Wednesday’s blurb, you’ll notice it was written through gritted teeth, as I wrote this whole thing about Nation X #1 thinking it was that upcoming Ultimate X-Men book. Turned out it was just some short stories about some X-People dealing with the fact that they live on an island off the coast of San Francisco. Maybe what I wrote will surface when Ultimate X comes out next year provided that site founder Monkey T. Tossford doesn’t fire me before then. In which case I’ll spite them by landing a gig at Cbr.
Erm, just kidding, guys.
