‘Doctor Who: The Tenth Doctor #2.6’ Review

by Dean Fuller

Written by Nick Abadzis | Art by Elena Casagrande | Published by Titan Comics | Format: Paperback, 32pp After quite a slow start, this series is starting to find its feet a little better.

‘Bloodthirsty #5’ Review (Titan Comics)

by Dean Fuller

Written by Mark Landry | Art by Richard Pace | Published by Titan Comics | Format: Paperback, 32pp Bloodthirsty has been a pretty enjoyable read up to now.

Written by Nick Abadzis | Art by Elena Casagrande | Published by Titan Comics | Format: Paperback, 32pp If I said I have been a little disappointed so far by Nick Abadzis’s run on this book that would probably be a little harsh. It’s not a bad book at all, but for me it has […]
