‘Dark Souls #1’ Review (Titan Comics)

by Dean Fuller

Written by George Mann | Art by Alan Quah | Published by Titan Comics | Format: Paperback, 32pp The link between games, comics, television and movies (and assorted merchandise and toys of course) is growing stronger by the month seemingly, and there seems to be fewer and fewer franchises left that haven’t embraced the age […]

‘Man Plus #3’ Review

by Dean Fuller

Written by Andre Lima Araujo | Art by Andre Lima Araujo | Published by Titan Comics | Format: Paperback, 32pp I’m not entirely convinced Man Plus knows what it wants to be yet. Is it deliberately playing around with concepts and genres until it finds the ones that fit together the best, or is creator/writer/ […]

‘Deus Ex: Children’s Crusade #2’ Review

by Dean Fuller

Written by Alex Irvine | Art by John Aggs | Published by Titan Comics | Format: Paperback, 32pp The first issue of this series was a decent addition to the rather crowded dystopian near future/ cyberpunk comic book shelf.

‘Doctor Who: The 8th Doctor #5’ Review

by Dean Fuller

Written by George Mann | Art by Emma Vieceli | Published by Titan Comics | Format: Paperback, 32pp Sometimes a book, a character, or a creative team, just don’t click for you no matter how hard you try to like them. The elephant in the room for me for example is Deadpool, never liked the […]

‘Independence Day #1’ Review (Titan Comics)

by Dean Fuller

Written by Victor Gischler | Art by Steve Scott | Published by Titan Comics | Format: Paperback, 32pp Having read far too many movie tie-ins in my time, I have a observation to share. Tie-ins that use the source material but add to it, such as storylines that run alongside the main story or ones that […]

‘Assassin’s Creed: Templars #1’ Review

by Dean Fuller

Written by Fred Van Lente | Art by Dennis Calero | Published by Titan Comics | Format: Paperback, 32pp The good thing about the Assassin’s Creed universe is that it has almost unlimited potential for stories, due to the Assassins Guild/ Templar Order feud running down through the centuries. You can pretty much use any […]

‘Samurai #1’ Review (Titan Comics)

by Dean Fuller

Written by Jean-Francois Di Giorgio | Art by Frederic Genet | Published by Titan Comics | Format: Paperback, 32pp A film in book form is the closest term of phrase I could find to sum up my first impressions of Samurai #1.

‘Doctor Who: The 9th Doctor Vol.1 – Weapons of Past Destruction’ Review

by Dean Fuller

Written by Cavan Scott | Art by Blair Shedd, Rachel Scott | Published by Titan Comics | Format: Paperback, 128pp Although not my favourite incarnation, I have a lot of affection for Christopher Eccleston’s all too short run as the 9th Doctor.

‘Johnny Red #5’ Review (Titan Comics)

by Dean Fuller

Written by Garth Ennis | Art by Keith Burns | Published by Titan Comics | Format: Paperback, 32pp Johnny Red has been, without doubt, one of my favourite non-superhero books of the last year, and possibly my favourite non-DC/Marvel book.

by Dean Fuller

Written and Drawn by Alessandro Barbucci, Barbera Canepa | Published by Titan Comics | Format: Hardback, 232pp As much as I love comic books, and after reading them for far too many years it’s just as well that I do, sometimes you can get just that little bit jaded and find too much ‘sameness’ in […]
