Tony Stark is not in a good way. The events in Civil War 2 will mean that the original Iron Man will make some big life changes and finally step away from the mantle. Who’ll step up? It looks like Riri Williams, the 15-year old genius, will. With some plot spoilers, I09 have an interview […]

Titan to create original Robotech comic series
Titan Comics has struck a deal with Harmony Gold to bring the cult 80s Robotech series back as a series of comic books. Not that they ever really went anywhere.

Awesome Media option Jay Gunn’s Surface Tension

Out of this world fitba: A review of Rok of the Reds
Brace yourself for a laugh at my expense! I saw a small comic company based in my native Scotland, I saw the industry legends John Wagner and Alan Grant (Judge Dredd, Strontium Dog, et al) and I saw Intergalactic Spaceman.

Things in Squares is run by Cale as a way to stay active in web design, drawing and humour. I’d say this Magic: The Gathering / pub pick-up joke is good enough to boost the web comic’s readership.
Fear the social media followers: A review of The Kill Screen
I looked at the first issue – ILOVEYOU – of The Kill Screen back in 2014 and really liked Mike Garley’s comic book project. This wasn’t a zombie end of the world.

Start your 2000 AD and Judge Dredd adventures here: A review of Prog 1973
This week’s 2000 AD is a good and useful edition. Prog 1973, which you can buy online or use one of the apps to read, is a special “jumping on” issue. All the stories in the edition are new. In other words you don’t have to go into the back issues to catch-up with the […]
