‘Tekken #3’ Review

by Dean Fuller

Written by Cavan Scott | Art by Andie Tong | Published by Titan Comics Last issue was an improvement on the first, which I thought didn’t deliver as much as it could have done, both story and character wise. These are characters that are not well developed beyond some archetypal qualities given them by the […]

‘Doctor Who: The Eleventh Doctor #3.7’ Review

by Dean Fuller

Written by George Mann | Art by I.N.J Culbard | Published by Titan Comics I really enjoyed last issue overall, mainly for the fact that you can’t go wrong with any story centering around a large abandoned spaceship. It’s one of those classic sci-fi tropes that never gets old. Rather like Dr Who itself really. […]
