Written by Anthony Del Col | Art by PJ Kaiowa | Published by Titan Comics Still on the fence a little with this book so far. Sure, the writing and artwork are not bad, pretty good in fact, but so far I am not really seeing a story that had to be told. Once we […]
Written by Simon Furman | Art by Marco Turini | Published by Titan Comics With Robotech #9, Simon Furman finally flies solo. Brian Wood’s four issue handover, where they shared billing as co-plotters, has finished and the book will stand or fall on Furman alone. So far, admittedly it may be a little too early […]
Written by Gordon Rennie | Art by Andie Tong | Published by Titan Comics You know a book is that good when you struggle to find new compliments to pay it. This is effectively issue 7 of Fighting American, and every issue has been simply brilliant. Clever, witty, sassy, sarcastic you name it it probably […]
Written by Various | Art by Various | Published by DC Comics DC Comics have of late been celebrating the 80th anniversary of both a flagship title, in Action Comics, and their flagship character, Superman. Both are, of course, fully worthy of such accolades. Action Comics has been continuously published since the dawn of the […]
The Hunt For Wolverine #1 Writer: Charles Soule | Artists: David Marquez & Paulo Siquiera | Colourist: Rachelle Rosenberg, Walden Wong & Ruth Redmond | Letters: Joe Sabino Wolverine prime (as I will refer to him here) died four years ago in the four issue mini series aptly named ‘The Death of Wolverine’ written by […]
Written by Various | Art by Various | Published by DC Comics To paraphrase John Lennon, before Action Comics there was nothing. Action Comics was the comic book industry equivalent of the Big Bang. Prior to Action Comics you had comic books, but these were usually collections of previously published newspaper strips, repackaged to encourage […]
Written by Peter Milligan | Art by Colin Lorimer | Published by Titan Comics You know something has a place in the national consciousness when it keeps reappearing every generation. The Prisoner has become just such a cult hit, its fans every bit as passionate as those of Star Trek or Star Wars for example. […]
Written by Anthony Del Col | Art by PJ Kaiowa | Published by Titan Comics The historical angle has always been what has given Assassin’s Creed its unique ‘thing’, the clever weaving of historical fact with Assassin’s Creed fiction. Real people interacting with Creed created characters. Previous games in the relatively recent past have been […]
Written by Chris King | Art by Jesus Hervas | Published by Titan Comics Well this has been a while coming. I reviewed issue 8 back in early January, so clearly the use of sadism isn’t just restricted to certain characters within the story. Chris King and Jesus Hervas, although clearly doing an absolutely brilliant […]
Written by Cynthia Von Buhler | Art by Cynthia Von Buhler | Published by Titan Comics I’m still trying to work out where I stand on this series. I better hurry up I guess as this is the final issue. In general the story and art have been pretty good, with a skillful weaving of […]
Written by Alex Paknadel, Dan Watters | Art by Jose Holder | Published by Titan Comics Seems like an age since the last time I reviewed this book, which is probably a good thing as it allows a reviewer to regain a little perspective. Although the book as a whole I like, I was getting […]
Written by Gordon Rennie | Art by Andie Tong | Published by Titan Comics Last issue’s first issue of the book’s second arc was every bit as good as every issue of the first arc, and that’s saying something. The second album is always the most difficult, but Gordon Rennie just kept on doing what […]
Weapon X #15 Writers: Greg Pak & Fred Van Lente | Artist: Roland Boschi | Colours: Frank D’Armata | Letters: Joe Caramagna As someone who owns and has read every issue of Wolverine I have a huge amount of respect for a writer who takes something from the past and uses it. The set up […]
Welcome back to another installment of Panel Discussion – this time featuring a rundown of my picks of the Top 30 comics released in March 2018. This is part one, a countdown of books 30-16… But first the caveats: First and foremost this is simply my list and with that comes a great deal of […]
Written by Mark Millar | Art by John Romita Jr. | Published by Image Comics Mark Millar and John Romita Jr. bring us Kick-Ass #2 and my god, comparted to the first issue, this is like night and day… If you read my review for issue one you will know that I wasn’t exactly smitten […]
Written by Mark Millar | Art by Ricardo Lopez Ortiz | Published by Image Comics Hit-Girl’s wreaking havoc in Colombia. Armed to the hilt, she kidnaps the country’s most notorious killer-for-hire and sets out to slaughter every gang member and criminal lowlife in Palmira. Hit-Girl continues her monthly series over at Image and this bad b*tch […]
Written by Dan Abnett | Art by Tom Mandrake | Published by Titan Comics I managed to miss this when it first came out, in individual issues, so am pleased to see the collection arrive so I can finally give it a read. I’m probably an easy sell, as I’m a fan of both writer […]
Welcome to another edition of Catching Up with the Classics where I talk about a comic book series or story that I have failed to read up to this point. This time I am taking at Walt Simonson’s run on Thor, specifically The Mighty Thor #337 – #355 My Background: In this section, I review […]
Written by Simon Furman | Art by Marco Turini | Published by Titan Comics Although Brian Wood and Simon Furman are still listed as co-plotters, each issue that comes seems to have Furman’s fingerprints on it more and more. For me, Brian Wood writes a purer story, focusing on the bigger picture, whereas Simon Furman […]
Written by Richard Dinnick | Art by Pasquale Qualano | Published by Titan Comics Will he be returning? Still not sure if there will be a Season Four of the comic book adventures of The Twelfth Doctor, so this issue may well be it for the foreseeable future. Peter Capaldi’s Doctor was loved by the […]
Written by Anthony Del Col | Art by PJ Kaiowa | Published by Titan Comics Seems an age since I reviewed an Assassin’s Creed title, which is a shame as I really enjoy the Assassins Creed universe. Love the games, the novelisations, most of the comics and didn’t hate the movie, though many seemed too. […]
