I’m not sure why but many “grown up Alice in Wonderland” comic books take a certain adult spin on the story. Yes, while it’s true that The Weirding Willows has our grown up Alice wandering around without any trousers on for the opening panels she soon dresses and it is not really that sort of […]

Batgirl’s new outfit ticks all the right boxes
There’s a new creative team on Batgirl and she’s getting a new look. Worried? You’d have reason to be as sometimes these changes are rocky. Things are looking good for Batgirl though. Illustrator Babs Tarr, who fans rate highly, will make her mainstream debut on the title. Note to self; read some Tarr. Together with […]
Blood, death and sex: A review of Max Brooks’ Extinction Parade
Yes, but what happens next? This review of Extinction Parade is of the first graphic novel which collects the first five issues of Max Brooks’ (World War Z and The Zombie Survival Guide) and Raulo Caceres’ (Crossed) series. Zombies are stupid. They’re slow. They can’t even see vampires. No wonder the lords of the night […]
Superhero Week: Mike Mahle’s Justice League Series
Mike Mahle draws superheroes and sirens with bold colours and brave lines. It’s a style I adore and so encourage you to stalk his Facebook and admire his Deviant Art. The images below are part of his Justice League series. He manages to make them look far more interesting than some of the official covers […]
Superhero Week: If Batman had been in Watchmen
The Dark Knight up against Alan Moore’s “smartest man on the planet”? Not really… This strip is the work of Axel Medellin and drawn for his Comics Should Be Good’s The Line It Is Drawn challenge. The challenge for this week was to send a comic book character back in time and change a key […]
Superhero Week: Every Spider-Man ever in the Spider-verse
Every Spider-Man ever. In their own words Marvel say; Every Spider-Man ever will be taking a swing in the spotlight this fall as part of Spider-Verse, and who better to provide an early look at the united webslingers than Skottie Young? Two special variant covers are expected. The first is Superior Spider-Man #32, due August […]
David Peterson’s Muppet fairy tales
David Peterson is the artist behind the highly acclaimed Mouse Guard comic book series and Mouse Guard RPG. An old Buzzfeed post from 2012 also show he has a far wider talent for the whimsical and is capable of some clever mashups. I think Miss Piggy makes an excellent Maleficent. My favourite might well be […]
Competition: Looking for Group, Volume 1
Fan of Ryan Sohmer and Lar DeSouza’s Looking For Group comic series? The web comic follows dastardly Richard and the heroic Cale’Anon as they explore the world, doing good (or bad; in Richard’s case) and building a group. The site launched in 2006 and has grown hugely since then with legions of fans. I’ve a […]
Die with superpowers: A review of Death Sentence
Imagine being told that you’re rapidly developing superpowers but that the process will kill you in about six months. How would you live? That’s the premise to Monty Nero and Mike Dowling’s Death Sentence. In Nero’s world the G+ Virus (nothing to do with Google Plus) is a fact of life. It’s a sexually transmitted […]
