Review: West – Autumn Dusk

Thursday, May 23, 2013

0 Comments

West – Autumn Dusk By Andrew Cheverton and Tim Keable Autumn Dusk is the final comic in West Volume II. It is, as everything Cheverton and Keable have created with Jerusalem West, a quite stunning thing. But final parts of a volume are troublesome things to talk about. Because I’ve talked plenty of Jerusalem West [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Review: Between The Billboards

Tuesday, May 7, 2013

Between The Billboards By O.D. Pomery The first four issues of O. D. Pomery’s Between The Billboards have that immediate look and feel of something intriguing and mysterious; lovingly made, hefty card covers, heavy textural paper, minimalist cover art, fragment titles (“Inevitable”, “The Strength Of Solitude”, “Eloquence & Ignorance”, “Any Given Funeral“) … all of [...]

Don’t Be Fooled By The Rocks Douglas Noble Strip For Me Douglas Noble. Purveyor of fine comics, also provider of many, many head-scratching moments in the past, maker of some of the most bewildering comics, but in that bewilderment, with a little work, there’s a genius, and often a stunningly inventive, fascinating, and quite brilliant [...]

Ellerbisms By Marc Ellerby Oh man, this has taken far, far too long to get around to. Apologies all round here. This is a book that came out from Marc Ellerby at Thought Bubble last November, a book I’ve already told you was one of my top 10 from 2012, so you know it’s something [...]

The Phoenix Weekender

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). This week I thought we’d do it a little [...]
