Written by Robbie Thompson, Dennis Hopeless | Art by Steve Pugh, Dexter Soy, Brent Peeples | Published by DC Comics Pretty much anything related to alternate worlds, multiverses, hypertime, Elseworlds or crises is guaranteed to pique my interest when it comes to DC books. My favourite DC stories have more often than not revolved around […]
Written by Benjamin Percy | Art by Cory Smith | Published by Marvel Comics You know how you have good friends sometimes, and you just fall out of touch over time, through no fault of your own. That’s my relationship with Johnny Blaze. I loved Ghost Rider back in the 1980s, and have most of […]
Written by Alyssa Wong | Art by Michael Yg | Published by Marvel Comics So, what’s this then? A new Iron Fist book? Last I saw Danny Rand had lost all his powers. And had blond hair. The guy on the front cover is clearly Iron Fist, but not a blond hair to be seen. […]
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 […]
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 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 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 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. […]
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 Jeph Loeb | Art by Tim Sale | Published by DC Comics So there I was a few days ago moaning at the lack of effort from Marvel, DC, and Image in putting out some decent quality stuff for Halloween. After all, Halloween and Christmas were the two big times of the year […]
Written by Scott Snyder | Art by Francesco Francavilla | Published by Comixology Originals As we are in the run up to Halloween I was looking for a suitably creepy and eerie book to review to tie in with that. To be honest, most of the major publishers had very slim pickings indeed, which was […]
Written by Ben Aaronovitch, Andrew Cartmel | Art by Jose Maria Beroy | Published by Titan Comics This being the concluding chapter of the ‘Monday Monday’ arc, I think it’s fair to say I’ve found it quite an uneven one. I get what Aaronovitch and Cartmel have tried to do, by having a central storyline […]
Written by Various | Art by Various | Published by DC Comics You can tell Halloween is around the corner when the spookily-themed one-shots appear from all the comic book companies. I’m betting nobody wants to leave that money on the table. Let’s be honest, we’re all suckers for this stuff. I’ve been picking up […]
Written by Mike Johnson | Art by Andres Guinaldo | Published by Titan Comics Yotun this, Yotun that, I guess you think this book is about you (with apologies to Carly Simon). Yotun certainly is centre stage in this arc, and why not? He’s either a messiah or a terrorist, depending on your point of […]
Written by Steve Orlando | Art by Cian Tormey | Published by Marvel Comics Another big ‘nothing will ever be the same etc etc’ number one issue. Sigh. Whenever I see these I am simultaneously disappointed and intrigued. Disappointed in that so many of these have the feeling of déjà vu. There’s only so many […]
Written by Phillip Kennedy Johnson | Art by Daniel Sampere | Published by DC Comics If someone ever said to me you can only read one character from DC going forward, everyone who knows me wouldn’t even need to hesitate before giving an answer. Clark Kent. I say Clark, as I love pre-Crisis Superboy almost […]
Written by Various | Art by Various | Published by DC Comics You know the score by now with these 100 page anniversary specials. They are a celebration of some of the most iconic characters DC has on their roster, with a nice blend of multiple covers by great artists, around a dozen stories by […]
