As mentioned on Bleeding Cool, where the comments have not been kind, there’s now a new Christian superhero – Captain Salvation. Created by Joshua Carpenter with art by Greg Waller (who has worked as a colourist on such hardcore Avatar series like Crossed and Black Summer) you can find out more about the hero right [...]

9/11 Heartbreaker Review
This short but emotional tale is definitely worth a look. To be honest, some may be put off by its somewhat crude renderings but writer/artist Craig Staufenberg does an admirable job of keeping the tale focused, which is not easy considering its dealing with memories rather than any strict narrative. 9/11 Heartbreaker is Staufenberg’s first [...]
The Best of The Best of 2010
No, that title’s not a typo. As the year draws to a close and we all say things like, “Where has this year gone?!” in disbelief it’s also the time to vaguely recall what the last 12 months have delivered us. Comics sites are of course filled with the best of lists, and we’ll be [...]

Matt and Marilyn
I haven’t watched much Doctor Who at all. Growing up in the ’80s I was familiar with the Tom Baker era but often avoided it as the monsters always freaked me out. Then after a lengthy absence I saw the 1996 Paul McGann telemovie and after another lengthy absence I saw the first few episodes [...]

The press release is below, but fear not – this is the Ultimate version of Spider-Man that’s being killed (presumably temporarily) not the Spider-Man from [...]
Lots of Hot Toys in Tokyo
At Bleeding Cool, there’s a great post about Hot Toys’ 10th anniversary exhibition in Tokyo. Well, it’s more a series of impressive photos and videos from the show, but is definitely worth a look to see some great likenesses of Stallone and Arnie, plus a horde of Michael Jackson Thriller zombies attacking some Resident Evil [...]
Sherwood Pictures’ Courageous
Film news site Dark Horizons have been running a very useful series of posts about next year’s intriguing films, running through every genre you can think of. The 3rd entry is focused on titles beginning with C and apart from the obvious choices like Conan and Cowboys and Aliens, I was pleasantly surprised to see [...]
