Let’s talk comic books. What would you recommend? What series needs to be checked out and read by […]

Irregular Reconnaissance: Comic Books #6
It is the first Irregular Reconnaissance: Comics catch up of 2014 and there’s more than half a dozen micro-reviews. In Irregular Reconnaissance I look back of recent reading to share opinion, insight but mainly opinion. The goal? There’s a wealth of comic book goodness out there and it can be hard to decide when to […]
17 DC New 52 superhero Valentine’s Day cards to groan at
Last year DC comics issues a bunch of pun-laden superhero Valentine’s Day cards. They did so in order to promote the 2013 “Young Romance: A New 52 Valentine’s Day Special“. In it Wonder Woman talks to Eros about her feelings for Superman, Aquaman treats his wife like a queen, Dick Grauson and the daughter of […]
Innerspace: A review of Solid State Tank Girl
This is not my favourite Tank Girl of all time. I didn’t come to grips with the art and I found the story too fantastical. Sure, Tank Girl stories are often on the fantastic side of zany but I can always pick up on that touch of survivalism in the post-apocalyptic world. Tank Girl is […]

Too sexy to sell – the Powerpuff Girls
We see the Powerpuff Girls on Geek Native now and then. Only recently we had this Powerpuff Cornetto Trilogy. Why? The girls are part of geek culture. What do you make of this IDW comic cover? Comic retailer Dennis Barger Jr didn’t like it. He wrote on Facebook; Are we seriously sexualizing pre-teen girls like […]
DC’s New 52 turned steampunk wonderful
It’s been expected for a while but this February DC will do steampunk variant covers of many of their New 52 titles. As it happens comic book super site Comic Book Resources were given an exclusive peak at some of the designs. They’re too good not to share. […]
My argument: Black Panther deserves to be favourite
There’s a TV ad running in the UK for a subscription to a graphic novel collection called “Marvel’s Mightiest Heroes”. If you’re in the UK and had the tellybox on you may well have seen it. It’s one of those deals where you pay a little for the first book, unlock a bunch of goodies […]
