The ‘The Prisoner sequel, Shattered Visage is considered to be a significant addition to the cult classic The Prisoner because (disclaimer: I’ve not read it) it features a former secret agent who discovers what happened to Number Two and the […]

“Under” movie in the works as mutant monsters war in American sewers
Christophe Bec, the French author, and the illustrator Stefano Rafael, his regular collaborator, had a definite hit in 2010 with the release of Under in France. The English language versions of the comic book only took a year to happen. That’s lightning fast. Now, filming for a movie based on Under is scheduled to start […]
Shades of Magic: The Steel Prince bestselling fantasy series gets comic book adaptation
I don’t think this is much of a surprise. V. E. Schwab’s Shades of Magic series has done well, it’s a New York Times bestselling fantasy series and is published by Titan. Titan Comics is stepping into the ring to take the property even further and given that there’s a film adaptation in the works […]
A first look inside: the steampunk Newbury & Hobbes
Doctor Who, Dark Souls and Warhammer 40K writer George Mann has a new project and its steampunk. Titan Comic’s Newbury & Hobbes follows special agents Sir Maurice Newbury and Miss Victoria Hobbes through the dangerous and alternative Victorian England as they tackle criminals. I’d say it’s almost like a steampunk Avengers, but I’m not familiar […]

Yo ho ho: A review of Sea of Thieves comic book #1
I enjoyed watching people play Microsoft’s Sea of Thieves during the beta. It looked like a proper sailing simulator and the crew mechanic was nice. In fact, I can see Twitch and Patreon perks quickly being used in conjunction with populating a crew. Titan Comics has a comic book from writer Jeremy Whitley coming out […]
BHP Comics snaps up Killtopia
Card Shark Comics made a name for itself with Dave Cook’s Bust and Vessels. Both titles were neatly run and effective Kickstarters. It wasn’t a surprise to see Killtopia do well on Kickstarter but I don’t think anyone expected the project to raise over £16,000 from more than 850 backers. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bust/killtopia-1/ [Read about the Kickstarter] […]
