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 Jason Aaron | Art by Jesus Saiz, Paul Azaceta | Published by Marvel Comics How do you solve a problem like Frank Castle? The Punisher has had a wild career since Gerry Conway, John Romita Sr. and Ross Andru created him way back in 1974. Originally a pretty clear cut villain, his popularity […]
Written by K Perkins, Mellow Brown | Art by Fernando Dagnino | Published by Titan Comics I found the last issue a slight disappointment if I’m honest. It was OK, but I expect more from this book and just felt it took an entire issue to tell a very small amount of story. Not sure […]
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 K Perkins, Mellow Brown | Art by Fernando Dagnino | Published by Titan Comics I am enjoying this book, how could you not after all, but I do think it has slightly dropped below the Blade Runner 2029 book in the Blade Runner pecking order. Cal’s story started so strongly, with so much […]
Written by James Tynion IV | Art by Alvaro Martinez Bueno | Published by DC Comics | Format: Paperback, 200pp Everyone who was invited to the house knows Walter well, they know him a little, anyway. Some met him in childhood; some met him months ago. And Walter s always been a little off. But […]
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 […]
Written by Tom King | Art by John Paul Leon, Bernard Chang, Mitch Gerads | Published by DC Comics DC of late has been absolutely flooding your monthly release lists with Batman and Batman Family titles, and I’ve been actively avoiding them. I love Batman, but I also love variety, and I think if we […]
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 Charles Soule, Leonardo Romero, Declan Shalvey | Art by Mark Bagley, John Dell, Leonardo Romero, Simone D’Armini | Published by Marvel Comics Elektra is a character that Marvel just can’t seem to make an A-lister. They’ve tried many different approaches down the years, some have worked, most haven’t, but the fact remains that […]
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 Mike Johnson | Art by Andres Guinaldo | Published by Titan Comics Last issue was yet another enjoyable trip to the world of Blade Runner 2029. Last night I again re-watched Blade Runner 2049, as I’m convinced I keep missing little nods in the issues to events mentioned in the comic. The importance […]
Written by Tom King | Art by Jorge Fornes | Format: Hardcover, 304pp | Published by DC Black Label (DC Comics) Marmite. Only way to describe any book featuring Watchmen characters, or any ongoing series with Watchmen characters. Fans either go with it, or steadfastly refuse to read or acknowledge those books existence. I think […]
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 […]
