Written by Declan Shalvey | Art by Declan Shalvey | Published by Marvel Comics It seems Immortal Hulk reviews by me are like buses, nothing for a while then two come along at the same time. As I said before, Immortal Hulk had been a book I had been meaning to pick up for a […]
Written by Kyle Higgins | Art by Marcelo Costa | Published by Image Comics Never underestimate the power of a good cover. I know it’s a little shallow of me, but to this day I literally buy some comics purely for the covers. I’ve bought comics in the past where I don’t really like the […]
Written by Various | Art by Various | Published by DC Comics You know the drill by now. Whenever there is a holiday or celebration of some sort, DC whip up a fresh helping of their 80 Page Giants. They usually consist of ten or so stories, by a mix of top name creators and […]
Written by Zeb Wells | Art by Stephen Segovia | Published by Marvel Comics My tour of books I-haven’t-been-picking-up-but-really-meant-to brings me to the issue I am currently holding in my (virtual) hands, Hellions #9. Being honest, there’s not been much about the more recent X-books that’s particularly appealed to me of late. I’ve been reading […]
Written by Al Ewing | Art by Joe Bennett, Jose/Brabo | Published by Marvel Comics Word of mouth on this book has been blistering hot at times, and I am annoyed that apart from the occasional peek at individual issues I haven’t found time to sit down and read through the run. The Alex Ross […]
Written by Dave Wielgosz | Art by Sumit Kumar | Published by DC Comics I’ve always been a bit divided on the Man-Bat character. A great concept, and a character I personally do like, but one that has conceptual flaws. Firstly, he’s a bit of a ‘one-trick pony’. That is, Man-Bat stories always run the […]
Written by Mark Russell | Art by Steve Pugh | Published by DC Comics I’ve been enjoying the Future State books from DC a lot more than I thought I would. I just thought it would be another case of what sounded good in an editorial meeting really underwhelming in practice. They’ve not all been […]
Written by David Walker | Art by Marcus Kwame Anderson | Published by Ten Speed Press When anyone talks about sequential art, comics, or graphic novels these days, the first thing that comes into everyone’s mind is, of course, superheroes. Since comic books as an industry established itself in the 1930’s, superheroes have been the […]
Written by Jason Aaron | Art by Javier Garron | Published by Marvel Comics It’s easy as a reviewer to just pick up and review books you know you will like. I’m as guilty as anyone. If I see a certain character guest starring, or a certain creator involved, I will probably pick up that […]
Written by Dan Abnett | Art by Jonathan Lau | Published by Dynamite Entertainment So in a month packed full of Future State titles from DC, and the King in Black stuff from Marvel, I’ve decided to go elsewhere for the first of my weekly reviews. Why? Well, as much as I do love Marvel […]
Written by Jody Houser | Art by Roberta Ingranata | Published by Titan Comics I’ve been really enjoying this kick off story arc, with Jody Houser once again having all sorts of fun going through the gears. As I wrote last time round, total fan service, but that’s never a bad thing. Give ’em what […]
Wolverine #8 Writer: Benjamin Percy | Artists: Adam Kubert & Viktor Bogdanovic | Colourists: Antonio Fabela & Matthew Wilson | Letters: Cory Petit I actually really enjoyed this issue despite it not delivering on the cover image. As a sidenote, the cover must be the first time Adam Kubert has drawn Maverick since the 90’s […]
Written by Mike Johnson | Art by Andres Guinaldo | Published by Titan Comics Last issue saw the book jump ahead a decade, allowing for a shakeup in the status quo of both Ash and the world she inhabits. This is deliberate, as this series I’m assuming was always intended to show how the 2019 […]
Written by Dan Jurgens, Andy Schmidt, Robert Venditti | Art by Various | Published by DC Comics Ever since Crisis on Infinite Earths back in the 1980’s, I’ve always been a sucker for those big DC events featuring dozens of heroes and villains. Legends, Zero Hour, Convergence, Countdown, Infinite Crisis, and many others have come […]
Written by Sean Lewis, Brandon Easton | Art by Various | Published by DC Comics By all accounts DC have a lot riding on their Future State line of books, which will see print in January and February of this year. DC have essentially replaced their normal DC Universe books with books set in the […]
Written by T.W. Burgess | Art by Mike O’ Brien, Brian Coldrick, Brianne Neuman, David Romero Author T.W. Burgess has a reputation for creating brilliantly scary graphic novels and I have loved his previous work. Malevolents, The Eyrie, and Hallows Fell have all been super creepy in a way no other graphic novels I have […]
Written by Claudia Gray | Art by Eric Zawadki | Published by DC Comics YA One thing DC has always enjoyed has been to reinvent and revisit some of its characters, and reinterpret them for various reasons. When comics began of course, the primary audience was young boys, so they tended to be pretty simplistic […]
Written by Lara Elena Donnelly | Art by Various | Published by Boom Studios Being honest, I had no idea that comics based on Jim Henson’s properties was a thing. Sure, I know about the various attempts at Muppet related stuff, but not much else. When this book showed up in my every-other-day scroll through […]
Written by Jody Houser | Art by Roberta Ingranata | Published by Titan Comics Last issue was fun, wasn’t it? Smacked totally of fan service, but I think we are all fine with that. Take the Thirteenth Doctor, TARDIS and Fam, sprinkle in a dash of The Tenth Doctor, and a cherry on top in […]
Written by Steve Orlando | Art by Mike Perkins | Published by DC Comics I’ve always had a love/ hate relationship with Crisis on Infinite Earths. Like it or not, it has cast a huge shadow over DC’s output ever since it was published back in the 1980’s. I’ve always appreciated its intent, to clean […]
Written by Various | Art by Various | Published by DC Comics It’s that time of year when the Christmas/ Holiday/ Winter Solstice/Hanukkah/ Kwanzaa Specials come out. Not all different ones of course, but these days the books try and be inclusive and include all the above. DC have cleverly sidestepped the yearly outrage at […]
Written by Jeff Lemire | Art by Andrea Sorrentino, Jordie Bellaire | Published by DC Black Label | Format: Hardback, 144pp When DC Comics announced their Black Label offshoot many though it would be a replacement for the Vertigo line, telling all-new stories and creating all-new characters and universes. But in the end it turned […]
