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 John Higgin’s Razorjack
I hadn’t gotten my hands on Razorjack until now. Sounds painful, but true. John Higgins has worked on Watchmen, Judge Dredd and Batman, but Razorjack is his project. It was published first by Com.X back in 1999. More recently, Titan Comics has collected extra material and republished in a lovely glossy hardback. Razorjack is certainly […]

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 […]

Review of Devil May Cry: The Chronicles of Vergil
I’ve seen some Devil May Cry anime. I can’t immediately connect it with the plot in The Chronicles of Vergil except we’re dealing with battles against demons. The Chronicles of Vergil is a thin but glossy hardback graphic novel from Titan Comics. Written by Izu and with Patrick Pion as artist and Robin Recht on […]
Wizards without Coats: Barbarian
You’ve levelled up and unlocked a new skill. Hurrah! There’s a big difference between reaching the cast “spell” skill and the “spell skill”, though. This blogger needs both and has neither.
