The new Assassin’s Creed comic is a new Assassin’s Creed line. We feature Charlotte de la Cruz who is a well-educated, geeky, counter-culture, black American woman with a shit job. The comic gets straight to the point; she’s not a middle class white dude. I won’t have a go at writers Anthony Del Col and […]

Lowball is the latest in the Wild Cards series. I’ve not read any of the Wild Cards books before and it turns out I didn’t need to. I was quickly able to pick up on the world – like ours but after a virus has turned some of the population into super-powered mutants – and […]
