Astonishing X-Men: Exogenetic By Warren Ellis and Phil Jiminez (with Andy Lanning – inks and finishes) Marvel Comics I read Exogenetic late one night/early one morning, deep into that time when I should really have been asleep in bed rather than drifting in and out of consciousness on the sofa. And that was why, when [...]

Why hello, Kitty!

Aren’t these Hello Kitty modifications just brilliant? Cool and also still quite sweet but with added SF/comics appeal! Joseph Senior’s MySpace has numerous clever and very well done examples like this, go and enjoy them (via Robot 6 who got it in turn from The Design Scene Blog)

S.W.O.R.D. – volume 1 (of 1) – No Time To Breathe by Kieron Gillen and Steven Saunders (with Jamie McKelvie) Marvel Comics “My Spacegirl Friday. Fury Nick and Green-haired Nora. Joss Whedon writes Deep Space 9. West Wing in orbit (plus zap-guns). 24 with the neo-con-agenda swapped for gags. The fastest-paced comic Marvel puts out, I think. We [...]

Kaare Andrews – another fetish moment….

Astonishing X-Men: Xenogenesis #3. Cover by Kaare Andrews. I know the X-Men has always been a little edgy, but when did it become Skin Two? Every month Andrews just ups the ante. God knows what sort of thing we’ll be getting on the cover by the time it gets into double figures. Can you imagine what [...]

Paul Smith – Kitty Pryde, X-Men classics and Leave It To Chance

Monday, April 5, 2010

Comments Off

It’s one I missed when it was released a few years ago, but there’s a great review by Kelly Thompson at CBR of X-Men Kitty Pryde: Shadows And Flame. To be honest, the story doesn’t sound all that great – Kitty Pryde in Japan to investigate another Lockheed type dragon, and inevitably falling foul of [...]

Marvellous covers…. and even more marvellous McCarthy

Saturday, April 3, 2010

Comments Off

Mark Kardwell pointed out a slew of great looking comic covers from the Marvel solicitations, and he’s absolutely right, these are good. Kaare Andrews does a strange, strange look for Emma Frost, even without the baby sick. And Paul Pope doing Marvel covers is great. Actually Paul Pope doing anything is great. And it gets [...]

Here’s the promo art for the forthcoming “Astonishing X-Men: Xenogenesis” by Warren Ellis and Kaare Andrews….. Cyclops and Storm seem somewhere about 7ft tall, Storm appears to have forgotten most of her top and, from that waistline, hasn’t been eating properly either. And poor Emma Frost has suffered from some really bad plastic surgery that’s [...]

Astonishing X-Men: Ghost Boxes

Astonishing X-Men: Ghost Boxes by Warren Ellis and Simone Bianchi Marvel I enjoyed, and wrote about the first issue of this storyline when it came out here and this collection basically gives us more of the same, which is to say more of Ellis’ voice through the medium of Marvel’s mutant team. Everything you’d expect [...]

Singer considering return to X-Men movies

Wednesday, October 14, 2009

Comments Off

According to The Hollywood Reporter director Bryan Singer is considering a return to Fox for another installment of the X-Men movies, which I’d imagine would be pretty much welcomed by fans. Singer, who made his name with the wonderfully convoluted noir-esque Usual Suspects, delivered the first two X-Men movies which proved successful with fans, critics [...]
