An unholy epic for your eyes: A review of Elric of Melnibone
Geek Native’s looked at the new releases of Elric of Melnibone and liked them. The Michael Moorcock Library Vol.1 – Elric of Melnibone is different insofar as it brings together the original 1980 comic adaptation into a hardback. The story is the same. At least, that’s the theory. In reality, this Elric of Melnibone feels […]

Say goodbye to your sanity: A review of FutureQuake 28
A friend tipped me off to FutureQuake, providing a copy for me to look at and muttering about 2000 AD. I was happy enough to take a look. I’ve no shortage of comic books to read but I always try and make time for recommendations. I was surprised at Future Quake. It was much better […]

Callover Cover: Legenderry: Vampirella
I’ve no problem with Vampirella having more clothes on than normal. This version of the immortal heroine has gone all steampunk and David Avallone’s adventure is set in a neo-Victorian world of petticoats and airships. The cover artist is Joe Benitez. You can find the comic at Things From Another World or Comixology.

The new comic book series is based on Eidos’ computer RPG Deus Ex. The story acts as the prologue to Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, dealing with the fallout of the Panchaea Incident and Human Revolution. Once again, former SWAT member Adam Jensen, features as the cyberpunk hero. We’ll have to wait until February 2016 before […]
Forbidden Judge Dredd episodes to see print again
“The Cursed Earth” was the first epic length Judge Dredd storyline. It was published in 1978 and the full series has never seen the light of day again. Why not? Some episodes featured parodies of iconic corporate powers; Burger King, Ronald McDonald, the Michelin Man and even the Jolly Green Giant. Punches were not pulled. […]
The Man with Ten Thousand Eyes born from five movie posters
Late last year Geek Native featured The coolest Kaiju films that didn’t feature Godzilla. It was a post from freelance artist and comic creator Joe Badon. Badon’s back with another Kickstarter – The Man with Ten Thousand Eyes https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1857321894/the-man-with-ten-thousand-eyes That’s some surreal storytelling right there! Imagine having all that power but all those eyes running […]
