‘Dark Souls: Legend of the Flame #1’ Review

by Dean Fuller

Written by George Mann, Tauria Moosa, Dan Watters | Art by Piotr Kowlaki, Damien Worm, Nick Percival | Published by Titan Comics The Dark Souls comics so far have been ok, and in fact have felt very much in spirit like the games they are based on, but have proven quite tough nuts to crack […]

‘Mycroft Holmes #2’ Review

by Dean Fuller

Written by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Raymond Obstfeld | Art by Joshua Cassara | Published by Titan Comics I missed the first issue of this series, so will have to try and read that at some point, but the first thing that struck me about this series was the fact it was being written by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

‘Doctor Who: The Third Doctor #1’ Review

by Dean Fuller

Written by Paul Cornell | Art by Christopher Jones | Published by Titan Comics For most people, Tom Baker IS The Doctor, and he was certainly a big part of my TV viewing childhood. For me though, my favourite Doctor was always the Jon Pertwee Third Doctor. He just looked like a really cool granddad […]

‘Assassin’s Creed Last Descendants: Locus #1’ Review

by Dean Fuller

Written by Ian Edginton | Art by Caspar Wijngaard | Published by Titan Comics Until relatively recently, comics based on games were something that I would very rarely pick up. They were often just cheap cash-ins, primarily designed to drum up interest in the main product itself, and lacking in both quality and creator enthusiasm. […]

‘Towerkind’ Review (Graphic Novel)

by Chris Cummings

Created by Kat Verhoeven | Published by Conundrum Press Towerkind is a weird book, let’s get that out of the way before we get into the meat of this review. It’s odd, at times confusing, and a little bit mismanaged in terms of the plot. That doesn’t mean I hated this book, because I didn’t. Towerkind […]

‘World of Tanks: Roll Out #1’ Review

by Dan Clark

Written by Garth Ennis | Art by Carlos Ezquerra | Published by Dark Horse Comics There is no question that Garth Ennis knows how to write a great WWII comic. His current series Dreaming Eagles, which tells the story of African America pilots during WWII, is one of my current favorite books. So considering his […]

‘Tank Girl: Two Girls One Tank #1’ Review

by Dean Fuller

Written by Alan Martin | Art by Brett Parson | Published by Titan Comics | Format: Paperback, 32pp First things first before I start my review. Tank Girl as a character is not really aimed at me anymore, at my ‘demo’ as the marketing men like to call it. Once upon a time, in the […]

‘Norman #1’ Review

by Dean Fuller

Art & Writing by Stan Silas | Published by Titan Comics | Format: Paperback At first glance this book looked a little, er, different. Or strange. Yes, let’s go with strange. ‘I am 8 Years old and I kill People’ is a pretty attention grabbing tagline after all. Norman had previously been the ‘star’ of […]

‘Deus Ex: Children’s Crusade #4’ Review

by Dean Fuller

Written by Alex Irvine | Art by John Aggs | Published by Titan Comics | Format: Paperback, 32pp As cross platform tie-ins go, this has been pretty good. Rather than being constrained by the restrictions of writing something that exists essentially to draw attention to an upcoming game release (that’s Deus Ex: Mankind Divided if […]

‘Doctor Who: The Tenth Doctor #2.10’ Review

by Dean Fuller

Written by Nick Abadzis | Art by Elena Casagrande | Published by Titan Comics | Format: Paperback, 32pp Although for me this has overall been one of the weaker Who titles, in recent issues I’ve found myself warming more to it. Interestingly enough, that coincided with both Eleonora Carlini and Elena Casagrande taking a break […]

‘Doctor Who: The Fourth Doctor #3’ Review

by Dean Fuller

Written by Gordon Rennie, Emma Beeby | Art by Brian Williamson | Published by Titan Comics | Format: Paperback, 32pp Reading this book so far has been like soaking in a warm bath of nostalgia, Rennie and Beeby not only capturing the Tom Baker Doctor at his peak, but also throwing him and Sarah Jane […]

‘Independence Day #3’ Review (Titan Comics)

by Dean Fuller

Written by Victor Gischler | Art by Alex Shibao | Published by Titan Comics | Format: Paperback, 32pp I think to date this series has been receiving what I will diplomatically call mixed reviews. My reviews have not been mixed at all, in the sense that I think it has been a poor book. The […]

Written by George Mann | Art by Mariano Laclaustra | Published by Titan Comics | Format: Paperback, 32pp This issue is a great one for both ongoing fans, and for people thinking about giving this title a go. For ongoing fans, this takes place after Clara Oswald’s last adventure with The Doctor, that one which […]

‘Dark Souls #2’ Review (Titan Comics)

by Dean Fuller

Written by George Mann | Art by Alan Quah | Published by Titan Comics | Format: Paperback, 32pp The first issue of this book was something of a curiosity to me. How do you take a, admittedly very good cult favourite, open world game with disposable characters and construct a linear story with characters the […]

‘Johnny Red #7’ Review (Titan Comics)

‘Straitjacket’ Graphic Novel Review

by Dean Fuller

‘Samurai #3’ Review (Titan Comics)

by Dean Fuller

Written by Jean-Francois Di Giorgio | Art by Frederic Genet | Published by Titan Comics | Format: Paperback, 32pp As I have done with both previous issues of Samurai, I read this through twice. Once, to read the actual story, the second time just to look at the visuals. Not only is Genet’s artwork amazing […]
