Official press release below. MR. STUFFINS IS BACK! MY TEDDY BEAR’S A SECRET AGENT! With covers by MOUSE GUARD’S David Peterson [...]
Robin #183 Review
I’ve followed the adventures of the third Robin (Tim Drake) on and off over the last almost two decades, since Chuck Dixon and the late, great Mike Wieringo days. A relatable youth with real issues that come from school and family -and of course, crime fighting, Tim has always been one of DC’s great unsung [...]

Now, IDW is wisely getting in on the action and making some of their impressive titles available as downloadable PDFs through the company. Official press release below. IDW Publishing, known for its wide array of comic books [...]
I Watched Watchmen – Now What?
Now this is a good idea DC! A hearty pat on the back from me to you. Watchmen opens next month in cinemas everywhere, but it’s really only fanboys that know, and revere, the classic 12 issue series from Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. Many cinema goers won’t necessarily have any idea of the film’s [...]
Christian Bale Parodies
Man, poor Bale. The English born actor’s recent tirade on the set of the new Terminator flick has already been lampooned on Family Guy in an upcoming episode, as well as in the teaser for the new Marvel Super Heroes: What The?!. The series looks like a more upmarket Robot Chicken, with ‘animated’ action figures. [...]
Groom Lake #1 Review
My latest review is up at Broken Frontier. It’s all about a unique four issue mini-series from IDW Publishing that centres on UFOs, government cover ups and all that craziness. Written by Chris Ryall, with art by Perth lad done good, Ben Templesmith (30 Days of Night) it doesn’t take itself too seriously. The first [...]
Comic Art Exhibition
It really is a small world after all. Today at lunch, I nipped into the recently re-opened Quality Comics and happened to meet a fellow comics fan who’s just started the first comic book art gallery in Western Australia. Way to go, I say. Details are below the awesome Howard Porter JLA art. It opens [...]
The Darkness #75 Review
In what could be perceived as a stand alone tale, there is also the sense that this milestone issue for The Darkness reflects upon its past and throws it forward into a bleak future, yet one not without hope. Writer Phil Hester seems to be enjoying himself more than usual in this issue, titled Absolute [...]

Batman #686 Review
Neil Gaiman and Andy Kubert – that’s a dream team of comics creators right there. Last week they launched Batman #686 from DC which is the first of a two parter looking back at Batman’s life. Yep, in case you haven’t heard – he’s dead. Probably. Check out my review of this issue at Broken [...]
Zombie Tales #11 Review
Proving again that the number of tales starring the undead is limitless, BOOM!’s latest issue of its zombie anthology offers another diverse trilogy of zombie action. Kicking things off is a Civil War adventure in which the forces of the South are cut off and facing certain defeat, until a surprise turn of events gives [...]
Paul Sizer Art
I interviewed writer/artist Paul Sizer about his latest project B.P.M for the first issue of Extra Sequential, and he continues to belt out great work. Below is a pic of Loo from Paul’s graphic novel, Little White Mouse. If you want to see more of his work, head on over to his site or his sweet [...]
X-Men Noir #4 Preview
Now I can’t say I’ve been following this series of Noir titles from Marvel. Basically these different mini-series recasts familiar characters, like the X-Men, Spider-Man and Daredevil in the world of noir films and books, ie, a world filled with tough talking gangsters from the 40s and 50s. This title seems to be getting good [...]
