Every month I find myself reviewing a fair number of comics, and it’s always a pleasure to let you know about the great work that’s coming out right now. But every month it’s a worry that some things I really, really loved get lost in the sheer amount of posts her on the blog. Which [...]

Le Mime By Zarina Liew Back in 2010 I mentioned Zarina Liew’s Le Mime 2-pager as a fave from the Publish You anthology. Since then she’s continued the adventures of the rosy cheeked silent one online, and in 2012 collected the first two years of Le Mime webcomic in a very polished looking 6inch square little book.

Widderrshins Volumes 1 Sleight Of Hand, and Volume 2 No Rest For The Wicked By Kate Ashwin I settled down with Widdershins with a genuine sense of anticipation, as I’d seen the webcomic, seen Kate Ashwin’s Kickstarter for Volume 2, and filed the comic away in the bit of my brain that’s meant to remember [...]

Until February 2012, I’d never read 2000AD weekly for anything more than a few weeks. Then I made the pledge. I would read the comic for a year, and tell you what I reckoned each and every week. That was at the end of February 2012. So now I’m into Year 2 of the 2000AD experience [...]

What Is It Katy? En Gingerboom Way back in 2011, I happened upon En Gingerboom’s What Is It Katy? after reviewing one of Gingerboom’s other comics. We were but a few episodes in at that point, but it immediately had my attention, something surface cute yet with, potentially, a lot of darkness once you get [...]

Review: Channel Evil

Tuesday, March 26, 2013

Comments Off

Channel Evil By Alan Grant and Shane Oakley Renegade Arts Entertainment Channel Evil is both somewhat pedestrian and somewhat spectacular, an everyday tale of straightforward PG13 horror meeting some truly great art. The story doesn’t innovate, doesn’t go anyplace new, but it does deliver something genuinely entertaining and thrilling and fun. I always seem to [...]
