Review of Charley’s War Volume 10: The End
Sometimes starting right at the end is better than not starting at all. Charley’s War originally ran from 1979 to October 1985. Titan Books started republishing the series in hardback albums back in 2004 and now nearly 10 years later we’re up to volume 10. As it happens it’s “Charley’s War: The End” that I […]

A review of Sharky: The boy demi-god
Written by Dave Elliott and with art from Alex Horley there is utter madness with the graphic novel Sharky. Sharky is a teenage boy who can transform into the demi-god Sharky. Yes, at one point he shouts “Shazam” to try and engage the transformation. He can’t actually control it; it’s hormonal. The Shazam reference is […]
