21. October 2010

Comments Off

It’s a bumper week for new releases, with a slew of graphic novels hitting our shelves for New Comic Day this very morning. But purely for the sheer visual fun of it this cover for Marvel Zombies Volume 5 made me smile, big time – I mean it’s Howard the Duck and he’s kicking undead [...]

Blackest Night, rainbow of colours

22. July 2010

Comments Off

For some reason (maybe simply the pretty colours exciting my inner child) I really like the cover for Blackest Night: Tales of the Corps, which is hitting shelves today. Nice, simple, colourful, effective. And it makes me want to wear my power ring.  (cover art by Dave Gibbons and Rudolfo Migliari, (c) DC Comics)

Neil Gaiman talks Wednesday Comics

27. May 2010

Comments Off

With the much oversized hardback edition of Wednesday Comics coming out today (and giving the term oversized new meaning), USA Today kicks off a series of interviews and looks at the art, starting with Neil Gaiman, here commenting on working with the excellent Mike Allred: “I love writing for Mike. He gives everything a slick [...]

The Nobody fan short film

17. May 2010

Comments Off

Robot 6 points us to the pretty cool short film by Josh McCaw and Ali Borghi, based on events in Jeff Lemire’s The Nobody (which just came out a few days ago in paperback from DC’s Vertigo imprint). Just like Jeff’s bandage-wrapped stranger in a small town it has satisfying echoes of the early film [...]

As regular readers will know the FP blog crew are huge fans of Canadian artist Kate Beaton‘s – we were just pointing you yet again to her work at the weekend there while she was off at TCAF. And if you were lucky enough to have been in Toronto for TCAF you would have been [...]

The Bill the Cat Story…

29. April 2010

Comments Off

The mere image of Bill the Cat still cracks me up even after all these years. The drink, the fling with right wing Republican women, the Soviet spying case, the fame, the furballs, the dubious legal advice from Mr Steve Dallas… Ack, ack, thhppttt… Oh, pardon me, hairball in the throat… The second volume of [...]

Batman and Robin

9. April 2010

Comments Off

New Comics Day is a day later than usual in the UK this week, due to the Easter Monday holiday and subsequent delivery problems caused by the UK’s main distribution routes being choked by millions of fluffy bunnies carrying baskets. But it’s worth waiting for -  there’s Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely’s Batman and Robin: [...]

I want… The Art of Jaime Hernandez

31. March 2010

Comments Off

Our crews in our branches and warehouses are beavering away mining comics goodness for you to browse on the shelves tomorrow. Some cool releases in among them, but there’s one that stood out for me, not just because it’s a very large, red-jacketed hardback so it physically does stand out, but because it’s a book [...]

Bruce’s Scottish holiday

18. March 2010

4 Comments

On the racks today is the Batman International collection, which includes Batman: the Scottish connection by Alan Grant and Frank Quitely. I like Frank’s artwork normally, but glancing inside at his depiction of Edinburgh Castle as viewed from the Grassmarket I can’t help but wonder why he didn’t render a more accurate depiction of the [...]

New in this week from Fantagraphics is Almost Silent, a collection of four earlier original graphic novels by the brilliant Jason. Regulars will know we love Jason’s work and if you’ve been meaning to read some and somehow never quite got round to grabbing the earlier works then this lovely little hardback is the perfect [...]
