Jack Campbell’s Lost Fleet was the first sci-fi military novel I enjoyed. Wait, wait… I’m not saying Lost Fleet was the first sci-fi I enjoyed. Of course not.

The code is our lifeblood: A review of Killtopia
Killtopia is a 52-page, full colour, sci-fi comic from writer Dave Cook and illustrator Craig Paton. Dave Cook’s work has been featured before on Geek Native with the likes of comic book Bust and then Vessels. The story was the same each time; a sensible Kickstarter that didn’t muck around and an output that pleased […]
A look inside the new Minions series: Minions Viva Le Boss
Titan Comics have a new Minions series coming out. It’s written by Stephane Lapuss and illustrated by Renaud Collin. This team have worked together before on Minions: Evil Panic.

Beware the manpig: A review of Factory
Factory caught my eye at the start of the year when Geek Native was able to share a preview. Since the first Volume of Factory, a collection of the first three books, is out this month, I opted to take a closer look this week. I described it as “Fallout meets Mad Max” then and […]

The OneBookShelf family are offering 20% off on a wide range of Cthulhu, Great Old One and Lovecraft flavoured items for the next few days. Let’s take a […]
Explore Eberron with the Dungeons & Dragons: Infestation comics
DriveThruComics now has IDW’s Dungeons & Dragons: Infestation II part 1 and part 2. These comics originally came out in 2012, but with the recent re-release of Eberron as a 5e campaign setting it makes sense why they’re being made available again. Shaun Manning of Comic Book Resources once asked Infestation II author Paul Crilley […]
Steampunk Avengers: A review of Newbury & Hobbes – The Undying
I rather liked the look of the Newbury & Hobbes comic when Geek Native had the chance to share a preview of it last month. I toyed with the phrase ‘Steampunk Avengers’ then but shied away. I won’t any longer. Wait. I don’t mean the superheroes. In this instance, my use of the word Avengers […]
