White Wolf have have just released a PDF of Exalted Volume 1 of the new Exalted comic. I thought I’d check it out. I was expecting to be pleased. The artwork in Exalted has always appealed to me. I was bang in White Wolf’s target market for the game – an anime fan, someone looking […]

IGN splashes the cash with UK Kapow! Comic Con sponsorship
Comics seem to be in robust health this year. Still plenty of films either taking their inspiration from comic books or presenting themselves as simple adaptations. This year will also be the first time Comic Con has been held in the UK. It’ll be called Kapow! Comic Con. The likes of Jonathan Ross and Frankie […]
Which of the Fantastic Four died today? [Spoiler of Doom!]
Marvel has made no secret of it – in today’s issue of the Fantastic Four one of the Fantastic Four will die. The next issue of the Fantastic Four will be the last. Marvel aren’t saying whether something else will come back in the comic’s place. If you’re worried about spoilers then stop reading! The […]
Graphic.ly secures another $3m. Real life comic book heroes?
I’m a big fan of the concept of Graphic.ly. It’s where you go to find online comics and read them in a screen-friendly way. I’ve used their app on my touchscreen laptop. I think their Chrome Extension is a successful trailblazer (and an illustration of just how powerful the future web will be). I’m clearly […]
A Sickness in the Family review
This is a paradox. A Sickness in the Family is a smashing graphic novel by Denise Mina (who wrote Still Midnight) but I can’t say I finished by saying “I’m glad I read that.” I’d still recommend the book to friends but I’ll not tell them they’ll enjoy it. A Sickness in the Family is […]

Victorian Undead: Sherlock Holmes vs Zombies review
I was a zombie over the Christmas holidays. I caught something really nasty and was barely able to shuffle around the flat. I was, however, able to pick up and rip through Eddington and Fabbri’s impressive Victorian Undead: Sherlock Holmes vs Zombies. This is a fantastic graphic novel. Really, the title gives you summary. This […]
ECHOES sells out after just one day
ECHOES is a supense-thriller/horror title from Top Cow that asks the question; can you inherit murder? From Joshua Hale Fialkov (Tumor, Pilot Season: Alibi) and Rahsan Ekedal (Creepy) ECHOES is being handled via Diamond Comics Distrubutors and a second printing is already on the way. Brian Cohn was learning to deal with the Schizophrenia inherited […]
King 2 review
As far as I know the sequel to King is simply called King 2. It rather feels it needs a witty sub-title that somehow manages to evoke feelings of Elvis, zombies and Mexican wrestling. King 2 gets off to a good start. Early on, as we read about Blacklist Studio there’s the standard disclaimer that […]
The Avengersaurs
What if the Avengers were also dinosaurs? I’m not entirely sure that’s a “what if” question that gets asked a lot. Geek Native’s traffic logs suggest that quite a few people ask “What if superheroes transformed into women” but I suspect that’s catering to a different mind set entirely! The artist behind this set of […]
