Eponymous review
Eponymous is a comic book from Mike Garley with art from Martin Simmonds and Letters by Mike Stock. I’d actually encountered the comic series before as it features in VS Comics #1 and other editions. VS is really strong and Eponymous was one of the many titles in the collection that I knew would be […]
Cute DC and Marvel counterparts
This is an excellent collection of art and insight by Darren Rawlings. He’s partnered up DC and Marvel heroes so that… well, so that they’re good counterparts. It strikes me as a good exercise for when you’re stuck on a plain, train or in an automobile. You pick a DC hero and you pal has […]
Updated look for Cyborg Superman
DC has given us a new design, by Kenneth Rocafort, for Hank Henshaw – better known as Cyborg Superman. Cyborg Superman was caught up in a space radiation storm as a human and as a result ended up like this. Although his origin story has been retold a few times, he is insane and hates […]

Rapture of the Nerds review: clever but weird
I came to Rapture of the Nerds not having read any Cory Doctorow outside his excellent articles on protecting the freedom of the internet and having read plenty of Charles Stross’ books but favouring the battle against ancient godlike beings beyond time and space from the Laundry Files. Rapture of the Nerds is a transhuman […]
Spot the famous cartoon cats
This fantastic panel from Caanan is a feline gold mine of famous whiskers. Catwoman and Batman take centre stage but can you spot and name all the other cats?
