I know…. poor excuses, especially when David Fickling made it, despite having what must have been a very busy week. But I’m seeing reports online, this from [...]

Halcyon & Tenderfoot Issue 4 (of 4) By Daniel Cifford and Lee Robinson Art Heroes Reviewing final issues of a series is always troublesome, especially short series. How to discuss the latest issue, and give an overview of the series without giving away some key facts? I’m not one for spoilers if I can avoid [...]

Popping through my letterbox every Friday, The Phoenix Comic is a wonderful children’s comic (grown-ups are allowed as well) full of great strips, devoid of any of that horrible advertising stuff (and did you hear them on Radio 4′s You & Yours? – listen again here).

Well, for one reason and another I managed to miss last weekend almost entirely. So no 2000AD review, no Phoenix weekender either. It still came through the letterbox, still got read, just didn’t get blogged about. I could pretend it was something really exciting, but hey, that’s what you young folks do on your weekends, [...]

Gum Girl Volume 3 – Countdown To Destruction By Andi Watson Walker Books (Previous Volumes: Vol 1 – Catastrophe Calling, Vol 2 – The Tentacles Of Doom) Andi Watson’s Gum Girl – has there ever been such a bright pink pop record of a comic?

The Wren Volume 2 Story by: Phil Roe and Jason Connor Art by: Jason Connor Published by: Button Press I love a good All-Ages comic! Sometimes you want to forget about the grown up stuff, forget about things like bills, taxes, who to shoot and where to hide the body (I may have also been [...]
