New Pics From ‘Manborg’ Highlight The Epic-Ness

We’ve got some new stills for Manborg, the cult favorite sci-fi/fantasy homage coming to select theaters and DVD on April 30, from Dark Sky Films and they underscore just how much of a bizarre pastiche this film is. I’m hoping I love it!

The armies of hell have taken over the Earth, and all that stands in the way of the villainous Count Draculon and humanity’s total extinction is a motley crew of misfits led by the mighty Manborg: a warrior who’s half-man, half-machine, but all hero.

Once a young soldier killed during the first war against hell, Manborg (Matthew Kennedy, Lazer Ghosts 2) reawakens in the future, rebuilt as a walking weapon and mankind’s last hope. Struggling to learn the secret of his origins, Manborg unwittingly befriends a post-apocalyptic Australian punker (Conor Sweeney, Heart of Karl), a knife-wielding vixen (Meredith Sweeney, Father’s Day) and a kung fu master before finally squaring off against Count Draculon (Adam Brooks, Father’s Day) in a desperate and bloody bid to take back the Earth.

This campy, comedic action flick, which Variety called “enjoyably ridiculous,” is also an affectionate and clever tribute to fan favorite ’80s films and videogames like The Terminator, RoboCop and “Mortal Kombat.” READ MORE

The forces of Hell have risen to the surface of the Earth to wreak unspeakable havoc on humanity. And it will take a real superhuman to save the world. Or at least Manborg – a spectacular creature of the future and the hero of Manborg, the cult favorite sci-fi/fantasy homage coming to select theaters and DVD on April 30, from Dark Sky Films.

When asked to explain Pet Sock my brain goes into a misty realm filled with floating breasts, intestines, and radioactive slime-covered dung beetles. I think it’s best not to overthink the webcomic when reading it either. If you’re on Bloody Disgusting, chances are you also enjoy genre everything — so maybe you’ll like this comic about two dudes with a lot of time on their hands and a passion for slashin’. Every Tuesday a new PS on BD. You can read last week’s here and check out some vintage era Pet Sock on my website.

This week, Pet Sock takes on Astron-6′s sci-fi throwback thrill-ride Manborg and 2012′s breakout hair sensation The Man With the Iron Fists. READ MORE
