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 […]
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 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 […]
Written by Jody Houser | Art by Roberta Ingranata | Published by Titan Comics Every time I see Jody Houser’s name on the cover of a Who book I’m a happy man. Always delivers. Never some generic action adventure that you could slot any old character into, but something that is designed purely for The […]
Written by Various | Art by Various | Published by DC Comics Ah, the seasonal DC 80 page giant, the source of must love and dislike down the years. As I’m sure everyone does, I love the fact DC puts out these Christmas/ Holidays/ Winter Specials, but I can’t escape the feeling that they used […]
Written by Chip Zdarsky | Art by Marco Checchetto | Published by Marvel Comics Oh look, it’s another ‘event’ book. Soon monthly books will probably cease to exist, considering how many of these event books both Marvel and DC pump out these days. Not a criticism, as publishers will just follow what the consumer wants. […]
Wolverine #17 – #18 Writer: Benjamin Percy | Artists: Lan Medina & Paco Diaz | Inker: Cam Smith | Colourists: Java Tartglia & Dijjo Lima | Letters: Cory Petit These two issues are a brilliant romp through the espionage flavour of the X-Men world that Benjamin Percy has been shaping in the pages of Wolverine […]
Written by Mark Millar | Art by Matteo Scalera | Published by Image Comics Seems to be a definite vibe at the moment for older men in spy/ detective/ crime books. DC just put out a great Human Target book, Image have the equally great Newburn, IDW have the James Bond licence, and now it’s […]
Written by Mike Johnson | Art by Andres Guinaldo | Published by Titan Comics I think the main thing I enjoy about both the Blade Runner books from Titan is that they resemble the films so much in how of the ‘feel’ they capture. Sure, they both do a good job of capturing the time […]
Written by Jeremy Adams | Art by Fernando Pasarin, Matt Ryan | Published by DC Comics So big Flash fan that I am, and a huge Dr Fate fan to boot, that alone would be enough to make this a must read issue for this DC fanboy. What actually did make me pick this up […]
Written by Donny Cates | Art by Ryan Ottley | Published by Marvel Comics Bad news is, no more Immortal Hulk. That book was consistently at the top of my must read list. It took a very familiar mythology, twisted it around a little, and made it seem new and fresh. The good news is, […]
