The first in the Clockwork Watch “series” is The Arrival and it really caught my attention. I put “series” in quotes because Clockwork Watch is more than just a comic book line; it’s a transmedia experience too. At least, I think that’s the term. There are LARPs to accompany it, events and art. The Anachronauts […]

Until now. Now Dark Horse comics, who do the continuation of Buffy the Vampire Slayer for Joss Whedon, will publish a follow on […]

Dan Abnett’s Kingdom to get sequel; Fiefdom
Dan Abnett’s 2000 AD series “Kingdom” is an action-packed comic book series in which genetically created dog-soldiers defend the Antarctic from mutant insect horrors. It’s a post-apocalyptic future that explores loyalty, nature and nurture as well as the sense of belonging but is very much a blood soaked action drama in fitting with the best […]

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 […]
