‘Doctor Who: The Tenth Doctor #2.15’ Review

by Dean Fuller

Written by Nick Abadzis | Art by Giorgia Sposito | Published by Titan Comics As there are so many Dr Who books to choose from now, it is natural to have favourites. This has not been one of mine over time, which is a shame as the Tenth Doctor is one of my favourites. I […]

‘Assassin’s Creed Last Descendants: Locus #2’ Review

by Dean Fuller

Written by Ian Edginton | Art by Caspar Wijngaard | Published by Titan Comics As the Assassins Creed universe continues to expand with more and more comic book series, it runs the risk of producing a dud at some stage. So far, all the books have been – at worst – good solid reads, and […]

‘Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare’ Review (PS4)

by Paul Metcalf

It is fair to say that Activision haven’t handled the release of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare well. The release of the game in such a restricted way created bad press, and an unpopularity around the release. The question is though, is Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare actually any good? There are certain rules I make for myself […]

‘Tim Burton: The iconic Filmmaker and his Work’ Review

by Phil Wheat

Written by Ian Nathan | Published by Aurum Press Ltd I’m a fan of horror, and Tim Burton’s style of direction and storytelling has always attracted my dark side. Creating an image of being the outsider with a unique imagination, he tends to speak to many film and popular culture fans who have the similar […]

‘The Chimera Brigade #2’ Review

by Dean Fuller

Written by Serge Lehman, Fabrice Colin | Art by Gess | Published by Titan Comics While not a complete success, the first issue of this series last month was interesting enough to make me want to come back again. It was easy to see the influences of Mike Mignola and Alan Moore, especially through books […]

‘Doctor Who: The Twelfth Doctor #2.10’ Review

by Dean Fuller

Written by George Mann | Art by Rachel Stott | Published by Titan Comics I haven’t been reading this series that much for various reasons. One is the normal reason, time, and the fact there is such a strong crop of comics out at any one time these days. Other reasons include the fact I […]

‘Ash vs Evil Dead 2×06’ Review

by Paul Metcalf

It would take a lot to beat the second episode of Ash vs Evil Dead Season 2, featuring one of the best slapstick scenes of the series. We now have that episode, featuring a family reunion of sorts. This reunion is not only in story terms but also a returning actor from the very first […]

‘The Code: Series 2’ DVD Review

by Paul Metcalf

Oh, the evil Internet, full of evil hackers looking at the best way to steal your money or sell you to the highest bidder. It seems to be the popular tool for modern television series to create something that stands out. Does The Code: Series 2 stand out as something special though, or just another […]

‘The Mummy #1’ Review

by Dean Fuller

Written by Peter Milligan | Art by Ronilson Freire | Published by Titan/Hammer Comics In today’s comics market, I couldn’t think of a better company to help usher in a new era for some classic horror characters than Titan Comics. For me, they have rarely put a foot wrong with their publishing schedules over the last two […]

‘Doctor Who: The Eleventh Doctor #2.14’ Review

by Dean Fuller

Written by Si Spurrier | Art by Simon Fraser | Published by Titan Comics Been a little while since I checked in on the Eleventh Doctor, and I was curious to see how much timey-wimey stuff I had missed. Scripter Si Spurrier I know mainly from 2000AD and Judge Dredd, and I liked the way […]

‘The Fall: Series 3’ DVD Review

by Paul Metcalf

In some ways, it is surprising that the third series of The Fall was made, especially with Jamie Dornan filming the 50 Shades of Grey movies. The second series ended in such a way that it could have been a good way to end, but that would have missed out on a much darker way to […]

‘Ash vs Evil Dead 2×05’ Review

by Paul Metcalf

After the events of last episode, it was easy to guess that the next chapter of Ash vs Evil Dead was coming, and this week we finally got to see the Big Bad. We’ve had hints of Baal many times, but in this episode, we finally got to see him. After the more action packed […]

Written by Chris King | Art by Louie De Martinis | Published by Titan Comics Like most Penny Dreadful fans I was really disappointed when the show’s creator, John Logan, announced the third season would be the last.
