Written by Mike Johnson | Art by Andres Guinaldo | Published by Titan Comics I’ve been enjoying the Blade Runner Origins book so much that I’ve found myself neglecting the main book, certainly in terms of reviews. Truth is, both books have been outstanding, really painting an authentic picture of the world we know and […]
Written by Jason Aaron | Art by Ed McGuinness, Mark Morales | Published by Marvel Comics Although I haven’t reviewed every issue, that would be a bit too much even for me, I have read every issue of the Heroes Reborn/ Return ‘event’. That’s 18 issues in total, and I can honestly say there was […]
Written by Joshua Williamson | Art by Xermanico | Published by DC Comics So, incredible as it may seem now, there was a time when Multiverse was a dirty word. Back in the early 1980’s DC decided that having multiple versions of their characters was just too confusing for potential new readers, and so essentially […]
Written by Donny Cates, Phillip Kennedy Johnson | Art by Ryan Stegman, Various | Published by Marvel Comics I’ve written in a few previous reviews about my, at best, ambivalence about Venom as a character. I’ve never really took to him. I say that as someone who bought the alien symbiote costume’s first appearance from […]
Written by Jody Houser | Art by Roberta Ingranata | Published by Titan Comics This mini-series so far has been about as Missy as it’s possible to get without it being an actual episode of the TV show. Houser has up to now perfectly nailed the mannerisms, banter, and cockiness f the character, not to […]
Written by Charles Soule | Art by Luke Ross | Published by Marvel Comics Here we are then, the main event. War of the Bounty Hunters has been trailed for quite some time already across the fan press, and we’ve already seen the prelude stuff across the Star Wars, Bounty Hunters, Darth Vader, and Doctor […]
Written by Matthew Rosenberg | Art by Jesus Merino | Published by DC Comics (Digital) I had promised myself I would steer away from Batman titles for awhile, as there are just too darn many of them. I love the character and his extended family of characters, but the absolute flood of bat-titles at the […]
Written by Jason Aaron | Art by R.M. Guera, Ed McGuinness, Mark Morales | Published by Marvel Comics As event comics go, this has been a pretty fun ride so far. Alongside the main Heroes Reborn book, there have been quite a few one-shots taking longer looks at faces both familiar and not so. All, […]
Written by James Tynion IV | Art by Alvaro Martinez Bueno | Published by DC Comics So, what does this hard working comic book reviewer choose to review on one of the hottest and sunniest days of the year so far? A horror book. Yep, not the most natural choice I know, but two things […]
Written by Geoff Johns | Art by Todd Nauck | Published by DC Comics Not content with currently hitting it out of the park over at Image with Geiger (check it out, it’s superb), Johns pitches up with a timely reminder that although Image are his new friends, DC are his long term best buds. […]
Written by Gene Luen Yang | Art by Dike Ruan | Published by Marvel Comics With the imminent release of the upcoming Shang-Chi movie, I was expecting to see a lot of ‘push’ on the character, and I wasn’t wrong. For me, the Shang-Chi I know and love was the one from the late 1970’s/ […]
Written by K Perkins, Mellow Brown | Art by Fernando Dagnino | Published by Titan Comics This book has been a little cracker as far as I’m concerned. Not sure what the sales figures are like, but I’m betting it’s flying somewhat under the radar, as many very good books are at the moment. As […]
Written by Declan Shalvey, Rory McConville | Art by Joe Palmer | Published by Image Comics Is it me, or have Image been putting out some particularly good books of late? They’ve always been pretty consistent in terms of quality, and pretty diverse in terms of content, but of lately they’ve been hitting quite a […]
Written by Charles Soule | Art by Ramon Rosanas | Published by Marvel Comics Every time I pick up a Star Wars book, it makes me wonder why I’m not picking up more Star Wars books. I always enjoy them when I read them, but for whatever reason they are never top of the pile. […]
Written by Jody Houser | Art by Roberta Ingranata | Published by Titan Comics It wasn’t until I read the previous issue that I realised that I had really, er, missed Missy. Her little run-ins in with Peter Capaldi’s Twelfth Doctor were always a highlight of the series after all. All new adventures can only […]
Written by Jason Aaron | Art by Ed McGuiness, Mark Morales | Published by Marvel Comics I mentioned fairly recently that Marvel of late have been muscling in on DC’s territory, with a whole raft of alternate world/ alternate universe/ what if type stuff, across TV, film, and comics. Nothing wrong with that of course, […]
Written by Joshua Williamson | Art by Gleb Melnikov | Published by DC Comics When it comes to the character of Robin, I’ve always been ready to be annoyed whenever a new kid takes over. When Dick Grayson became Nightwing so Jason Todd could become Robin, I was a bit irritated. When Jason died (though […]
Written by Phillip Kennedy Johnson | Art by Daniel Sampere | Published by DC Comics Admittedly it doesn’t take much prompting for me to pick up a Superman book, but one look at the great cover on this book, and a heads up this was the start of a major new arc, and I was […]
Written by K Perkins, Mellow Brown | Art by Fernando Dagnino | Published by Titan Comics In just 2 issues this book has really made its mark. The idea of filling in gaps in continuity is always a great idea, and great fan service of course, but quite often it creates more mess than it […]
Written by Chip Zdarsky | Art by Pasqual Ferry | Published By Marvel Comics This is a book that has launched at the perfect time. Why? Firstly, it’s essentially a ‘What If?’ story, just one extended over 4 issues. Nothing wrong with that if there’s enough story in there. Secondly, Marvel are fast catching up […]
Written by Joe Hill | Art by Gabriel Rodriguez | Published by IDW Publishing When it comes to genre fiction royalty, you’d be hard pressed to do better than Joe Hill and Neil Gaiman, or their most famous creations Sandman and Locke & Key. Joe Hill is, of course, the son of Stephen King, and […]
Written by Geoff Johns | Art by Gary Frank | Published by Image Comics I think it’s fair to say that people think of Geoff Johns as a DC guy. His runs on books like Green Lantern and The Flash are legendary, and he is of course currently heavily involved in Warner’s (who own DC […]
