It actually happened: A Samurai Jack #1 comic book review

November 6, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I adored Samurai Jack as a TV show. I stalked Amazon in the hope of a UK licensed DVD being made available for years before giving up hope. Then it happens; IDW announces a Samurai Jack comic book series. I download it via Comixology at the first opportunity and discover the author is none other […]

Wizards without Coats: Great Guardian

November 6, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Who feeds these things?   < PreviousWizards without CoatsNext > You’ve crawled through tiny tunnels. You’ve used a rope to climb up through a narrow hole in the cave ceiling. You’ve ducked under swinging axe blades, jumped skilfully across the trapped, puzzled floor and edged along a narrow ledge over the lava of doom. How […]

Five teasers for NARR8

November 4, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

We’ve covered their progress, increasing numbers and even talked to MD Maxim Matveyko about the evolution of the system. Now it’s a platform that lets you read, create and share – and what you read has animation, music […]

Pawn of the gods: A Magic of Myths review

November 3, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood 5 Comments

Season two of Corey Brotherson and Sergio Calvet’s Magic of Myths came out in July of this year. That was quite a gap from the first season which was published back in 2010. I’m sure it was worth the wait – although, in my case, I read both as a bundle. In fact, I read […]

Wizards without Coats: Mouser

October 30, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Hiring heroes is hard.   < PreviousWizards without CoatsNext > We were under a different impression when you listed yourself as The Grey Mouser. Building an adventuring party or even running a Guild – the application process is essential. Don’t want any weak links to sneak into the chain. Have you had any close calls? […]

Wordless fantasy: Butterfly Gate review

October 29, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Butterfly Gate is all sorts of different. The main way in which Butterfly Gate will be different from the other comics in your collection – unless you’re something of a master – is that Butterfly Gate has no text. There’s neither dialogue nor description. In other words; all you get are image panels. Impressively, Butterfly […]

Which were the best selling horror comics this year?

October 29, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

Last week we asked “Who scares the best” and investigated DriveThru Fiction’s best selling horror stories. We found out that gamers tended to go for anthologies and White Wolf did well. Gamers don’t just read books; they read comics too. There’s DriveThru Comic’s best sellers from Halloween 2012 up until the start of this month […]

Wizards without Coats: Fireball

October 24, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Gotta keep safe while adventuring!   < PreviousWizards without CoatsNext >   Are you sure this wizard can handle fireballs? You can learn a lot from how wizards dress. Do they still carry a lot of weapons? Are they cautious or lacking in attack spells? Are their bags packed with books and scrolls? Could they […]
