After America is the sequel to John Birmingham’s Without Warning. It’s very much part two of a trilogy. I don’t think it is possible to pick up and dive into After America without having read Without Warning, although the first book is good so worth reading anyway, and it rather does leave you wanting to […]
Hyrule bank notes
These clever bank notes probably won’t be accepted by your local bank – not unless you’ve a lovely house in the ever so eventful Hyrule. I suspect they’d be far easier for either Link or Zelda to carry around thought given the ever present danger of a sudden swim they might be in constant threat […]

Kobolds Ate My Baby … the musical
Did you think someone would take Kobolds At My Baby and turn it into a musical? Into a loud, cheese rock, style musical? Well, for better or for worse, it has happened. The fact that there’s a Kickstarter, by 9th Level Games, for Kobolds Ate My Baby in Colour might have something to do with […]
Hey Ho, Lets Go – Doctor Who Ramones
This Gimmick Tees is a mashup of Doctors and the punk band Ramones. A classic but unexpected mix. This is a punk bad with hits like “Hey Ho, Lets Go”, “Pet Cemetery” and even “I Wanna Be Sedated”. There’s a touch of punk in the Doctor, I think.
Doctor Who: Journeys through Time [infographic]
This infographic, which cleverly marks itself as incomplete, marks which Doctors have travelled when. At a glance it shows you how far back or how far forward each of the generations of the Doctor have explored. If you’re a New Who only fan then the results might surprise you. Some Doctors, like the Third, had […]

Batman, The Joker, Hell Boy and X-23 as striking illustrations
These illustrations are by Uwe de Witt, a German illustrator and designer who lists Sam Raimi, Akira, Fight Club and Requiem for a Dream among his favourite inspirations. His style is certainly bold and quite unusual. There’s a certain energy to these pictures and you’ll likely find a favourite too; Batman, The Joker, Spawn, Ghost […]
God of War II by Robert E Vardeman review
God of War might not spring to mind as a computer franchise to cross the media streams and manifest as a series of novels but it’s done just that. On reflection perhaps it’s not that surprising. After all, Kratos and his struggles are firmly inspired by Greek mythology. Players of the game will have heard […]
Just what is Marvel’s Project Gamma?
At the achingly hip SXSW (South by South West) conference that merges tech with anyone else who might be interested Marvel announced Project Gamma. In summary; it’s music that plays along with your comics. It’s a little more complex than it appears at first. Normally the way to assign music to comics would be to […]
