‘Doctor Who: The 9th Doctor #7’ Review

by Dean Fuller

Written by Cavan Scott | Art by Cris Bolson | Published by Titan Comics With some of the Who titles hitting it out of the park right now, one or two of the other Who titles are struggling a little to keep up. The Tenth Doctor’s book springs to mind, as does this Ninth Doctor […]

‘Assassin’s Creed #13’ Review

by Dean Fuller

Written by Anthony Del Col, Conor McCreery | Art by Neil Edwards | Published by Titan Comics The Assassin’s Creed seemingly ever expanding stable of books is of such strong quality that I wait to see every month if they can maintain that quality, or if one of the titles start to dip noticeably. So […]

‘Doctor Who: The Third Doctor #3’ Review

by Dean Fuller

Written by Paul Cornell | Art by Christopher Jones | Published by Titan Comics The first two issues of this series have had me dribbling with excitement and nostalgia. Yes, not the most edifying sight you’ll ever imagine, but true. Paul Cornell has somehow managed to bottle the feel and look of not only the […]

‘Masked #1’ Review

by Dean Fuller

Written by Serge Lehman | Art by Stephane Crety, Julien Hugonnard-Bert | Published by Titan Comics I quite enjoy going into something with no idea of what it is or what it is about, and it not having the safety net of brand recognition to help it either. It has to stand or fall on […]

‘Assassin’s Creed: Templars #7’ Review

by Dean Fuller

Written by Dennis Calero | Art by Dennis Calero | Published by Titan Comics I like the way that although this second story arc for the book, ‘Cross of War’, is obviously it’s own animal, it has directly come out of the groundwork laid in that first 5 issue arc introducing the Black Cross. The […]

‘Doctor Who: The Twelfth Doctor #2.11’ Review

by Dean Fuller

Written by Robbie Morrison | Art by Mariano Laclaustra | Published by Titan Comics So just as I warm to a title I had previously been having a bit of a struggle getting into to, they change the creative team. Typical. If this is a good or bad move I will have to reserve judgement […]

‘Assassin’s Creed Last Decendants: Locus #3’ Review

by Dean Fuller

Written by Ian Edginton | Art by Caspar Wijngaard | Published by Titan Comics This series has been great fun through its first two issues, with an interesting scenario and cast, sparkling dialogue, and some fun little touches. Last issue we were left on quite the knife edge when the main character, Pinkerton agent Tommy […]

‘Rivers of London: Black Mould #2’ Review

by Dean Fuller

Written by Ben Aaronovitch, Andrew Cartmel | Art by Lee Sullivan | Colour by Luis Guerrero | Published by Titan Comics Last issue, the first of this new ‘Black Mould’ storyline was an absolute cracker. None of the story arcs have disappointed of course, but this really had the feel of a creative team hitting […]

‘Triggerman #1 and #2’ Review

by Dean Fuller

Written by Matz, Walter Hill | Art by Jef | Published by Titan Comics Who doesn’t like a little bit of noir and violent crime in their reading material? Certainly not me. Comics in the 1930’s in part sprang out of those old crime and noir pulps, so the genre has been tied to the […]

‘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 […]

‘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 […]

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 […]

Written by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Raymond Obstfeld | Art by Joshua Cassara | Published by Titan Comics This was a pleasant surprise on my reading pile last time round.

‘Penny Dreadful #5’ Review

by Dean Fuller

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. Again like most, I don’t buy into his statements that he only ever planned three seasons to […]

Written by George Mann | Art by Tazio Bettin | Published by Titan Comics I must confess to not really know much about Warhammer, other than it is huge in the niche it occupies. I know it was created back in the 1980’s, and has evolved steadily from a humble table top game to the […]
