Written by Charles Soule | Art by Ryan Browne | Published by Image Comics I was going to start this review by saying that I chose this book as I felt it was time for my indie fix, but then thought that was doing this book a disservice. It would be better to say I […]
Written by Celeste Bronfman | Art by Jose Maria Beroy, David Cabeza | Published by Titan Comics A couple of quick observations here before diving in. Firstly, it’s welcome back to Rivers of London, which is a book I have been reviewing since it first appeared in comic book form back in 2015 if memory […]
Written by Zeb Wells | Art by John Romita Jr, Scott Hanna | Published by Marvel Comics They say if you live long enough you see everything come around full circle. Flairs, stonewashed jeans, Spider-Man first issues… I can’t even remember how many first issues of Spider-Man books I both have, and have read. Do […]
Written by Joshua Williamson | Art by Rafa Sandoval, Jordi Taragona | Published by DC Comics From the cover alone I could tell that subtlety isn’t going to be a word associated with this book. The cover positively screams in your face. Death, destruction, anarchy, as a whole bunch of DC A-lister’s scream in pain. […]
Written by K Perkins, Mellow Brown | Art by Fernando Dagnino | Published by Titan Comics This has proved to be a book where a little bit of patience is required. The writers have enough confidence in their abilities, and in the attention span of their readers, to sometimes spread plots and developments out what […]
Written by Jeremy Adams | Art by Fernando Pasarin, Matt Ryan | Published by DC Comics Time for my semi-regular check-in on the Scarlet Speedster, review-wise that is. I always try to keep an eye on the book, as it has often been the touchstone for the current quality of DC books. Batman material sells […]
Written by Ron Marz, Andy Lanning | Art by Emilio Utrera | Published by Dynamite Entertainment Being a fan of 1940’s heroes and characters, I’ve loved the Project Superpowers books since they first appeared. It didn’t hurt having Alex Ross on board of course, as a designer/ plotter and cover artist. He makes anything look […]
Written by Joshua Williamson | Art by Viktor Bogdanovic, Daniel Henriques | Published by DC Comics I think the days of ongoing monthly books are numbered, judging by just how many monthly books these days from Marvel and DC are one-shots, limited series, or big event books. That’s not necessarily a criticism, because a good […]
Written by Larry Hamma | Art by Andrea Di Vito, Le Beau Underwood | Published by Marvel Comics Everything old is new again. The return of the Patch persona, from Wolverine’s Madripoor days, is another in Marvel’s recent nostalgia push. As their main line of books modernizes, with changes to characters and themes not universally […]
Written by Tyler Burton Smith | Art by Vanessa Cardinall | Published by Image Comics Always found it quite ironic that when Image Comics was founded, its aim was to out-Marvel Marvel. Sure, there was the important issue of creators rights and giving people more creative freedom, but the main idea was to earn the […]
Written by Mark Waid | Art by Dan Mora | Published by DC Comics Any time I see Mark Waid’s name on a Superman book, I’m buying that. With Mark Waid, you know you are going to get a fun, well thought out story that more often than not will involve a chunk of DC […]
Written by Robbie Thompson, Dennis Hopeless | Art by Steve Pugh, Dexter Soy, Brent Peeples | Published by DC Comics Pretty much anything related to alternate worlds, multiverses, hypertime, Elseworlds or crises is guaranteed to pique my interest when it comes to DC books. My favourite DC stories have more often than not revolved around […]
Written by Benjamin Percy | Art by Cory Smith | Published by Marvel Comics You know how you have good friends sometimes, and you just fall out of touch over time, through no fault of your own. That’s my relationship with Johnny Blaze. I loved Ghost Rider back in the 1980s, and have most of […]
Written by Alyssa Wong | Art by Michael Yg | Published by Marvel Comics So, what’s this then? A new Iron Fist book? Last I saw Danny Rand had lost all his powers. And had blond hair. The guy on the front cover is clearly Iron Fist, but not a blond hair to be seen. […]
Written by Various | Art by Various | Published by Dynamite Comics Some things are just no-brainer’s, and a Vampirella Valentine’s Day Special is definitely one of those. Sure, Vampi is a, er, vampire, but she’s got that whole sexy, skimpy outfit thing going on. She’s tailor-made for PG type love and sex, titillating enough […]
Written by Mike Johnson | Art by Andres Guinaldo | Published by Titan Comics Up to now the stakes have been pretty high, Yotun having instigated a major Replicant rebellion and burnt half of Los Angeles down after all, but last issue saw that level of mayhem and raised it even higher. Yotun now has, […]
Written by Jody Houser | Art by Roberta Ingranata | Published by Titan Comics Atmosphere is such a woolly term, it can cover a whole lot of factors after all, but this book has atmosphere. It has the feel of a solid Who adventure, from the story, the setting, and the characters. Jody Houser just […]
Wolverine #19 Writer: Benjamin Percy | Artist: Javi Fernandez | Colourist: Matthew Wilson | Letters: Cory Petit I didn’t think it was possible to get a great standalone issue in modern comics, especially in the Krakoan Age of X-Men comics we are currently in. But I am always happy to be proven wrong! What I […]
Written by J.M. DeMatteis | Art by David Baldeon | Published by Marvel Comics Retro certainly seems to be in the air at Marvel these days. After my last review, which was looking at the ‘new’ Silver Surfer book that is written and drawn by its old 90’s creative team, we now get J.M DeMatteis […]
Written by Ron Marz | Art by Ron Lim, Don Ho | Published by Marvel Comics When I saw this on the schedule it was a no-brainer pick up. Back in the day I loved the early 1990’s Silver Surfer run, originally started by the dream team of Steve Englehart and Marshall Rogers. Batons, of […]
Written by Jody Houser | Art by Roberta Ingranata | Published by Titan Comics Having (a tin of) Roses at Christmas is very traditional, so in the absence of a Doctor Who comic book Christmas Special, this mini-series with its multiple Doctor’s and Rose Tyler’s will have to do. That’s fine by me because it’s […]
Written by Jed Mackay | Art by Various | Published by Marvel Comics Love the ,er, love that Kang is getting from Marvel these days. I’ve always loved him, and that includes that goofy green and purple costume that used to get so much hate. To my mind he’s always been one of the big […]
