For Broken Frontier I was able to interview both creators of Oni Press’ recent release, Labor Days, which is a fun, mature, crazy OGN (original graphic novel). It follows Londoner “Bags” Bagwell and his worldwide trek for a mysterious videotape. Hilarity, and action, ensues. My interviews with writer Philip Gelatt can be found here and [...]
Broken Trinity #3 Review
As someone with a vague awareness of the current goings on in the Top Cow universe, it’s always a welcome feeling to jump right in to a random title and not feel lost. Called the “Fatal Conclusion” to this mini-series that focuses on the top three supernatural powers (The Darkness, Witchblade and Angelus) the title [...]
Madman Sale
Not Mike Allred’s cult comic book hero, but rather the distributor of anime and manga goodies. Just in time for Christmas, they have a bunch of stuff on sale from toys, shirts and DVDs. Head on over to their website to scope out the complete list of sale items. Here’s a few key items to [...]
City of Dust #2 Review
Radical Publishing have done it again. The company’s Freedom Formula had me drooling over the pages and now we have a new contender. City of Dust by Steve Niles, the writer most known for his horror work (30 Days of Night) shows that he can cross genre boundaries with ease. The second issue reads a [...]
The Dresden Files: Storm Front #1 Preview
Below is a five page preview of the new Jim Butcher series, from Dabel Brothers Publishing, Jim Butcher’s The Dresden Files: Storm Front. The comic is written by Mark Powers and drawn by Dresden veteran, Ardian Syaf. The first issue is released on November 12. This is based on Butcher’s first Dresden novel and centres [...]
Mirror’s Edge #1 Review
DC’s Wildstorm inprint know their way around a good game licence, especially with Gears of War and World of Warcraft under their belt. Comics based on games usually fare a lot better than films based on games, so it’s a good thing we’re seeing a lot of adaptations lately. Mirror’s Edge is developed from the [...]
Bat Books Ending
This is sad news. DC have confirmed that Robin, Nightwing and Birds of Prey will all be finishing up in February, presumably as part of their Batman R.I.P finale, and its after effects. They may very well continue in different forms, (like a new anthlogy) or new titles though, and I guess at least one [...]
Station #4 Review
This is the only BOOM! series that I’ve been following with any regularity. The first issue was a winner and the last two issues proved that this book was more than just a hip concept. By the way, that hip concept is this: a cosmonaut is murdered on an international space station, and everyone’s a [...]
Get Impaled For Free
Top Cow obviously believe in this vampire project from writer William Harms and artist Matt Timson. So much so that they’ve given the series its own dedicated website, where you can read the entire first issue on-line for free. Woo hoo! Free! The series lasted three issues at Image before it finished, but now the [...]
Ultimatum #1 Preview
So, Magneto goes mad and vows revenge. It’s a tune he’s been playing for decades, but this time, its in the Ultimate universe (Marvel’s alternate line of more accessible books). Ultimatum is out now and is a 5 part mini-series focused on the helmeted bad guy’s swathe of destruction across the Ultimate U, involving earthquakes [...]
Spider-Man: Web of Shadows Review
This will be a short one, as I’ve only just started the game, but it’s not bad. It certainly makes an impression with it’s classy opener, and that’s just introducing the logos from the various companies involved. Then you, as Spidey, are thrown straight into the thick of it, and play catch up throughout the [...]
Superman/Batman #53 Review
I’ve loved this series since it began with Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuiness a few years ago. Like any series, it’s had its ups and downs, but there’s something classic about these two characters working together. The last two issues were hilarious, with junior versions of the two heroes, plus a few of their closest [...]
Z Graphic Novels Reviews
Back at the glory days of Infuze (BTW writer Robin Parrish who started the on-line mag has just updated his site. Check it out) I got a swag of goodies from the fine folks at Zondervan, one of the world’s largest Christian publishers. I only managed to review the first two issues of the awesome [...]
