The new Assassin’s Creed comic is a new Assassin’s Creed line. We feature Charlotte de la Cruz who is a well-educated, geeky, counter-culture, black American woman with a shit job. The comic gets straight to the point; she’s not a middle class white dude. I won’t have a go at writers Anthony Del Col and […]

Callout cover: Colder – Toss the Bones
Juan Ferreyra’s cover for the next Colder is worthy of a callout. What a clever idea and fantastic scene. This is the third in the five-part Colder: Toss the Bones series. Paul Tobin’s Eisner-nominated series follows ex-inmate Declan Thomas who can step inside a person’s madness so that he, sometimes, can cure it. The comic […]
A preview of Snowpiercer 3: Terminus
Snowpiercer continues to roll and roll. I first became aware of the chilling title when concept art and music for the film was published. I was lucky enough to get to review the first comic book over a year later. Geek Native caught up with Snowpiercer 2 in an Irregular Reconnaissance column and now with […]
Who would win in a fight? Zombie Hulk or She Thor
I’m not entirely sure “She Thor” is the name I’d use – I’d stick with Thor but I’m not reading that arch so what do I know? I tell what I know; this animation by Milton Pool of Miltonius Arts is awfully impressive for a fan project. How did this fight come about? One day […]
Against all odds: A review of 13 Coins
I’m disappointed that 13 Coins wasn’t better. I’m frustrated that 13 Coins wasn’t good. All the good ingredients are present. I liked the art. The genre is a favourite of mine – “high religion occult” – where angels and demons are real, battling each other in a contemporary setting, TMNT’s Keven Eastman give it a thumbs […]
The evolution of Harley Quinn [infographic]
Harley Quinn is a remarkable super villain in many ways; for a start her first appearance was as a TV toon character rather than in the comic books. Over the following 23 years she’s grown her profile and become a fan favourite. Batman and Joker fans are now looking forward the DC’s Suicide Squad movie […]

For chaos and love: A review of Elric Stormbringer
Elric Stormbrnger is the second hardcover graphic novel in the remastered and entirely masterful series from Michael Moorcock. I really enjoyed the first – Elric: The Ruby Throne – and Stormbringer picks up straight away. We’ve an Emperor of a powerful (but not as powerful as they once were) and chaos worshiping set of warriors […]
Annoyed at Shakespeare: A review of Magic of Myths – Faerie
Magic of Myths: Faerie was launched at the Birmingham Comics Festival this year and is by the same team behind Magic of Myths. The Faerie story is a fantasy based, roughly, on some of the characters from William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream – and not all of them are happy with the play. Robin, […]
The end of the trilogy: A review of Kick-Ass 3
Perhaps you’ve seen the movies and are wondering what happens to Mark Millar’s Kick-Ass and Hit-Girl next? Kick-Ass 3, which is co-authored by John Romita, has been out for a while now, first as comics, then as a hardback collection and more recently in softback. The graphic novel feels different from the film. The heroes […]
