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. […]

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 […]

Art Noise: A review of One Model Nation

A Civil Armageddon: Steed and Mrs Peel review
Josh Whedon’s The Avengers never made the cinema in the UK. The movie people did their market research and concluded the name was taken. Releasing the super hero meets super spy film without changing the name would confuse people. The official UK title was The Avengers Assemble. Mark Waid reminds us why Steed and Mrs […]
National pride: A review of Saltire
Diamonsteel Comics introduce Saltire as Scotland’s first superhero and given the red headed, beardy chap with big boots and blue skin it seems pretty clear to me which nation he represents. Like many national pride issues; Saltire looks backwards in history and to about 125 AD when the Roman Empire had control of much of […]
Wizards without Coats: Furry
Not really an insult, though. < PreviousWizards without Coats[The End] Rakshasa or whatever, he’s still a furry. This is the last in the current series of Wizards without Coats. As it turns out, it could also be the first in a new series of Famous Last Words. The Rakshasa isn’t a demon lord one […]
