Because the little good things are more important than the big bad ones.” And that’s genuinely a sentiment you can feel throughout these two issues, where Rachael [...]

Review: Blood Blokes Issue 3

Blood Blokes Issue 3 By Adam Cadwell This Life with vampires. It was a lazy comparison when I made it with issue 1, but for anyone who knows what I’m talking about it’s such an easy and obvious and right comparison when you’re talking about Cadwell’s slacker vamp soap-opera. What Cadwell’s doing here is quite [...]

Every Wednesday I’m off to the newsagent to pick up the latest 2000AD. Before 2012 this was something I’d never done before. I’m glad I started… Right then… this weeks cover is from Cliff Robinson and Dylan Teague, and it’s a downbeat affair. Nice enough image, but a cover? Judge Dredd by Michael Carroll and [...]

Largo Winch Volume 12: The Way And The Virtue By Jean Van Hamme and Philippe Franq Cinebook By now trying to review Largo Winch has become something of an exercise in swapping the words around. It’s not like reviewing a movie franchise where there’s the variation derived from different actors, directors, and styles. But a Van [...]

7 String Volume 1  By Nich Angell If you’re after hi-concept sci-fi and fantasy, Scott Pilgrim with a little more Blade Runner and less downtown Toronto, Game Of Thrones with guitar swords, (or as the back cover points out) Star Wars crossed with Guitar Hero, Nich Angell’s 7 String pretty much ticks all the boxes.

Holiday By Simon Moreton Simon Moreton‘s developing into a real star for me, and just the thought of being able to peruse a new comic by him makes me smile, as I know just what I’ll get out of it; that sense of wonder, of looking at the world through an artist’s eyes, made new [...]
