This post is a mixture. There’s a review, an audio interview with artist and illustrator Dave Gibbons and a video tour of the softback graphic novel. I opened The Secret Service: Kingsman with some trepidation. This is my usual reaction to a Mark Millar piece as I know I may be secrets away from reading […]

Free to Download: Valiant Universe RPG Quick Start
I’ve been charting my progress through Valiant Comics’ super group “Unity” in my Irregular Reconnnaissance Comics column. It was billed as a way to get into the Universe as the Unity team took on the mighty X-O Manowar. Did that work? I’ve struggled at times but I’m still reading it and, in fact, the latest […]
Gently killing the Star Wars Expanded Universe
At a glance this video is a lovefest for the old Star Wars Expanded Universe (the EU). We’ve the new Star Wars team raving about how much they’ve enjoyed it. Read between the lines, though. This video is gently letting us know that the EU is there to fuel and inspire the next set of […]
Flamebait: If male superheroes were treated equally by pin-up artists
Stephen Byrne has one picture on his Deviant Art profile at the time of posting. It’s this one. It has hundreds of comments. At a first glance it looks like another way to point out how female superheroes can be drawn very differently from male superheroes. Is there more to it, though? The title is […]
Short film: Batman – Strange Days
We’ve seen plenty of unofficial Batman films and animations but Strange Days comes from DC Entertainment themselves. The animation marks the 75th anniversary and is from producer Bruce Timm. Strange Days is a lost tale from Batman’s past in which the Dark Knight follows an odd giant into the lair of Dr. Hugo Strange. Risk […]
Bloody good: A review of Kieron Gillen’s Uber
Blood, gore, super-powers and the Nazis; what a heady mix. Uber is set at what would have been the tail end of World War II. There’s just one catch. The Nazis have just released their final secret weapon – super soldiers. These “Wunderwafen” are brutal. Uber pulls no punches. The pages of this full colour […]
Daring Comics Role-Playing Game
I like Daring Entertainment’s open and honest pitch for the Daring Comics RPG. They say things like; Keep in mind, a Kickstarter is not a product pre-order. You are pledging money that will go into actual book production so that we can get it into your hands and into retail. Which means that each Backer […]
Chilling: A review of Snow Piercer
Back in January I shared some pictures, concept art and music from a Joon-ho Bong film called Snowpiercer. It looked incredible, based on a French graphic novel and starting the likes of Chris Evans, John Hurt and Tilda Swinton. The film is reviewing well at IMDB which also suggests the US release is still to […]
