Superhero Nerd: A review of Geek-Girl #1
Sam Johnson’s Geek-Girl has been on my radar for a little while, at least from last year when Geek Native previewed Voodoo Junkie Hitwoman: Cabra Cini (rated as: hopeful) but the author himself has been getting mentions on the site since 2014 in conjunction with Free Comic Book Day. What Geek-Girl does is flip the […]
Superhero Week: Iron Man is now a 15-year old black girl
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 […]

Awesome Media option Jay Gunn’s Surface Tension
Imagine writing and illustrating your own comic book – for it then to be picked up professionally, for it to be a hit and then for Awesome Media for a TV role? That’s exactly what happened to Jay Gunn as the company has optioned Surface Tension. I rather enjoyed Surface Tension. Okay, billions died and […]
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. Would I review that? Of course! Sign me up. Except; I saw wrong. It’s not […]
Hey beautiful… let’s skip straight to the fun part
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. This was a weird apocalypse in which people had become infected by some weird digital virus. Those infected seem to manifest digital pixels […]
