First Look at Daredevil's Wilson Fisk

Marvel Studios and Netflix have released the first image of Vincent D’Onofrio as the Wilson Fisk, a.k.a. the Kingpin, in the Daredevil television series.

According to USA Today, the Kingpin of the Netflix series will be different than the Kingpin of the Marvel Comics Universe. This Kingpin shares goals with Daredevil, wanting to clean up New York City, but goes about it using very different methods. The series will be as much an origin story for Fisk as it is for Matt Murdock.

Daredevil premieres on Netflix on April 10. See both full images below.

The Anime Encyclopedia, 3rd Revised Edition Review

It’s been 7 years since the last edition and a lot has changed in Japanese Animation since then. Bandai pulled out of the American DVD market; Aniplex went to court over Kiba; Anime Sols and Daisuki tried to move the locus of power away from America and back to Japan; piracy and torrenting became hot-button issues; anime experimented with stereoscopic vision (Cyborg 009), crowd-funding (Kick-Heart), cellphone distribution (Today’s Aska Show) and “4D” cinema events (Hatsune Miku Live Party). Meanwhile, anime's sense of its own history continued not only to reframe the past, with the rediscovery of A Mole’s Adventure, but also to fret about the future, with the retirement of Hayao Miyazaki (Studio Ghibli).

If you ever wanted to know a lot of about anime series, ova and films this is the book for you. Often called The Anime Bible, The Anime Encyclopedia has seen it's 3rd revision. The revision updates from the very beginning of anime to the year 2013. Yes otakus your favorite shows like Sword Art Online and Highschool of The Dead are included in this revision. This entry not only gives the full synopsis and details of anime ranging from A to Z. It also gives you thematic entries covering various genre's from Hentai to sports anime and more. This section is great because it gives a history on each genre and how it started in anime. In addition each anime hyperlinks for those with tablets to get more information on the animation. I found this encyclopedia very useful when it came to old school anime. If you're like me and love the old school anime it's a great tool to look up titles you may have missed. The book is insightful, very detail and packs a punch.
