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 […]
Callout Cover: Samurai #2
Titan Comics brought out Samurai : Collected Edition volumes 1 – 4 in hardback for December last year. Written by Jean-François Di Giorgio, Frederic Genêt and Delphine Rieu the series follows Takeo on the Unnamed Island, training his swordsmanship and learning, truly, to become a Samurai. Now we’re getting the individual softcovers and are up […]
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 Ninth Doctor gets a whole new comic book series
Titan Book has today announced a license deal with BBC Worldwide which means the Ninth Doctor will be back in comic book form. The Ninth incarnation of the famous Time Lord has already had a 5-part mini series. Now, Christopher Eccleston’s vision of the Doctor will join the Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth Doctors as a […]
Callout cover: Deus Ex #1 variants
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 […]
Witches and Assassins: A review of Assassin’s Creed 1
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 […]
