Have I anywhere publicly expressed my loathing for Star Wars? I am not sure that I have. I feel the urge to do so now. Why? Because my children have the Star Wars Lego computer game and the sound of R2D2 screaming like he is being introduced to twelve inches of wookie meat is driving [...]
The exploration of violence in these two volumes takes many twists and turns. The first volume struck me as being more grounded but both of them have a resonant emotional core that connects with the reader on a very visceral level.
To say that something is filmic is over-used and perhaps misguided when it comes to [...]
This was the perfect book for someone like me to read — damn, I got every reference in it. Is that something to be worried about? Well, it would be if I were one of the main characters in the book because that is what seemingly marks you out for death at the hands of [...]
Re-imaginings and Batman go hand in hand it seems, as just glancing downwards through the pages of this blog might indicate. This isn’t so much a character overhaul more a significance overhaul by placing Batman within a long line of heroes — a lineage that, given that the titular chalice is the Holy Grail, I [...]

In places where I have been hanging out in a virtual capacity there has been much discussion of the design of book covers and how this affects the sales but more importantly the perception of the work contained therein. It should be [...]
Click the above link to go and read the lovely little piece of flash fiction that I have just had published on this great site. Once you get there hang around and check out the other work. This site has the big brass balls to publish work that other so-called edgy magazines are just to [...]
This comic really grabs you from the first piece of art that you see until the last. Having been a part of Warren Ellis’s Whitechapel community since it’s launch I and others have been privileged to get an insight into the research that went into this story; the thoughtful way in which every aspect of [...]
This week’s episode, which I am reporting on late thanks to various computer issues, was beautiful. The art work in this series as a whole has been beautiful and it is as much for the ideas that drive the artwork as the artwork itself. But sometimes, as with this week, it is beautiful in the [...]
This book has wonderful art and a really involving story. You look at the cover and you might be in danger as writing it off as being some emo bullshit with fake pain and no real soul but you’d be throwing away the chance to read something that has a really interesting take on the [...]
With the Batman and Judge Dredd team up I complained about the fact that the story was somewhat flimsy and that the great artwork lacked a narrative backbone or drive (well, I intimated that anyway). I like the ideas of these crossovers, hence the number I have bought, but there aren’t many that have really [...]
