by Dean Fuller

Written by Nick Abadzis | Art by Elena Casagrande, Arianna Florean | Published by Titan Comics | Format: Paperback, 32pp My opinions of the Nick Abadzis stories have so far been pretty positive in the main, his issues being decent enough if not particularly memorable.

‘The Troop #1’ Review (Titan Comics)

by Dean Fuller

Written by Noel Clarke | Art by Joshua Cassara | Published by Titan Comics | Format: Paperback, 32pp Rather like the cash-in games for popular films, a ‘celebrity’ writer often sends a cold shiver down the spine, as you know that often a publisher is simply hoping the celebrity’s name will outweigh any inevitable shortcomings.

by Dean Fuller

Written by Seamus Kevin Fahey, Zach Craley | Art by Rubine | Published by Titan Comics | Format:Paperback, 32pp Issue 1 of this 5 issue limited series was a bit of a disappointment to me, it must be said.
