Welcome to Episode 2 of the new Nerdly Comics series, Nerdly Presents: NCBD! Each week for NCBD (New Comic Book Day), I take a quick look at what I picked up, what stood out on the shelves, and which books added a little extra chaos to my pull list. Think of it as a weekly […]
Writing and Art by Kyle Starks | Colours by Vladimir Popov Some stories hook you with novelty, others with familiarity. Wrestle Heist manages both. It is a genre mash-up that combines pro wrestling, crime drama, and comic storytelling into a surprisingly grounded first issue. Rather than relying on its premise alone, the debut focuses on […]

Up Front with… Me So, as I teased last time out, I am taking a break from breaking down issues of Comics Interview. From here on out, I will be alternating between random issues of CI and other interview magazines focusing on comics. First up, we have Wizard Magazine #119. You never forget your first […]
Written by Chris Burnham, Paul Dini, Stephen Langford | Art by Chris Burnham, John McCrea | Published by Image Comics Ah, Creepshow. People of a certain age, like me, have fond memories of the 1982 film Creepshow. How couldn’t you, it was a tongue-in-cheek horror film written by Stephen King, directed by George Romero, and […]
Written by Andrew Wheeler | Art by Travis Moore | Published by Image Comics This was a purely random pick-up from me, but one with some logic attached. Firstly, it’s Image, and lately that has been quite the mark of quality. There have been some great books coming out from them of late, and Marvel […]
Written by Charles Soule | Art by Ryan Browne | Published by Image Comics I was going to start this review by saying that I chose this book as I felt it was time for my indie fix, but then thought that was doing this book a disservice. It would be better to say I […]
Written by Tyler Burton Smith | Art by Vanessa Cardinall | Published by Image Comics Always found it quite ironic that when Image Comics was founded, its aim was to out-Marvel Marvel. Sure, there was the important issue of creators rights and giving people more creative freedom, but the main idea was to earn the […]
Written by Mark Millar | Art by Matteo Scalera | Published by Image Comics Seems to be a definite vibe at the moment for older men in spy/ detective/ crime books. DC just put out a great Human Target book, Image have the equally great Newburn, IDW have the James Bond licence, and now it’s […]
Written by Chip Zdarsky | Art by Jacob Phillips | Published by Image Comics I picked this up purely on the cover alone. Yes, I am one of those people. I am a sucker for a good cover. Not just those pin up type covers, you can keep most of them, but ones that genuinely […]
Written by Skottie Young | Art by Jorge Corona | Published by Image Comics The horror and supernatural genre is often a misunderstood one. People in general feel as though horror is a one trick pony, no subtlety, no clever thought or invention, just obvious gore and jumps cares. Just look at the lack of […]
Written by Declan Shalvey, Rory McConville | Art by Joe Palmer | Published by Image Comics Is it me, or have Image been putting out some particularly good books of late? They’ve always been pretty consistent in terms of quality, and pretty diverse in terms of content, but of lately they’ve been hitting quite a […]
Written by Geoff Johns | Art by Gary Frank | Published by Image Comics I think it’s fair to say that people think of Geoff Johns as a DC guy. His runs on books like Green Lantern and The Flash are legendary, and he is of course currently heavily involved in Warner’s (who own DC […]
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 Donny Cates | Art by Geoff Shaw | Published by Image Comics This book is like one of those film trailers you see over and over months before the film itself actually comes out. I’ve been hearing about Crossover for a while, and anticipation has been building steadily. Unlike most trailers, though, advance […]
Written by Curt Pires | Art by Alex Diotto | Published by Image Comics Every comic book at its heart has an element of wish fulfillment. Comics evolved as entertainment for kids, and the sidekick trope was created to give those kids someone to identify with alongside their favourite hero. If you were like me, […]
Written by Robert Kirkman | Art by Charlie Adlard | Published by Image Comics Robert Kirkman was crazy. That was pretty much the consensus when he decided to launch this ongoing title in 2003. What’s so crazy with that, I hear you ask. Well, an ongoing horror comic just doesn’t really sell. An ongoing black […]
