Hey Hey Hey! Welcome to The Shut Up Yo Studios Weekly update! It’s been a crazy week here (Frank got a haircut, as you can see in the photo!) at the studio and we have some updates for you!

First up, Mackenzie Portfolio is back to discuss the Holy S#!t awesomeness of E3 this year!

“It’s a yearly tradition of mine to stream the live E3 press conferences, and inevitably get up from my seat, start pacing back and forth, my eyes wild with excitement as they’re glued to the screen, hands waving in the air, and shouting something to the effect of “Holy f*cking shit!” This year was no different. Between Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo there were some memorable moments to be had all around.  While I can’t possibly cover it all in one weekly update I do want to share my favorite “Holy f*cking shit!” moments.”

We have a new writer to add to the mix! Please welcome Jade Ashley and her review for issue #1 of Ms. Marvel!

“I recently got my hands on a copy of Volume 1 of "Ms. Marvel: No Normal" written by G. Willow Wilson and drawn by Adrian Alphona. And I gotta say, it sure lives up to the hype. Ms. Marvel is the first Marvel comic to feature a Muslim super-heroine. Since her comic first debuted in 2014, she's easily become one of Marvel's most popular superheroes. Kamala Khan is just a regular 16-year-old Pakistani girl. She's a junior in high school and she's obsessed with the Avengers and writes fan fiction in her spare time. She lives with her strict but loving parents and her very religious brother in Jersey City. One night, after getting enveloped in a fog that blasts the whole city, she has a vision of her idol, Carol Danvers (the previous Ms. Marvel, now known as Captain Marvel). She wakes and discovers that she has the ability to shape-shift, shrink and enlarge her body. She takes up the mantle of Ms. Marvel and sets her sights on protecting Jersey City from a new villain called "The Inventor."

Right off the bat, the writing and her characterization reminds me of Peter Parker's. She's young, geeky, just finding out she has powers and is struggling to juggle them with all of her other responsibilities. She's also got that sarcastic and witty humor that we know and love Peter Parker for. So if you're a fan of Spidey, check this out! The book, all in all, was a joy to read. It's colorful, diverse, refreshing and new. It's awesome seeing a female fronted comic about a person of color being so popular in the Marvel universe. I absolutely love how Kamala's faith and culture are highlighted in the story. Her family and home life are a big part of who she is. She's balancing between her religious duties and struggling with disobeying her parents so she can be the hero she wants to be. The story itself is just so genuine. Between the gorgeous art and the hilarious and insightful writing, I gotta give this one five stars. Go ahead and pick this up, I guarantee you'll love it.”

We also have our very own Michael J Foy who has written a review for Jurassic World and issue #2 of Escape from New York! But first! He has a few words about the Ghostbusters remake!

"Alright folks, the Ghostbusters reboot from director Paul Feig begins filming within the week! Shooting will take place in Boston with the city of choice for the film still being Manhattan. After all we’ve heard leading up to this, it’s still hard to think it’s actually happening. I’m still not sure how I feel about it, and mostly I just don’t care. I recently got the first two in a box set on blu-ray for next to nothing. (Seriously, remember paying $15/20 for a VHS?!) I’m pretty content with those two and besides the obvious cash crab, there doesn’t seem to be a big need to remake the original. I am however, excited to see the film have a female cast. It’s something different, and the women selected, are very funny. It will certainly be interesting to get a look at them in the new uniforms with updated proton packs. Let’s just hope it doesn’t suck."

Be sure to tweet him and wish him luck tonight while he performs improv on stage! @foymanchew

That’s all for now! We’ll see you next week! Keep laughin!
