Vampires and bandwagons: An interview with Freda Warrington
Freda Warrington is the author of the highly acclaimed A Taste of Blood Wine. In this interview, I ask Freda about the story, about vampires but also about gender roles in fiction and in reality. Are female authors treated differently? You can try this test yourself; what comes to mind when you speculate on a […]
The deadly assassin Cheshire graduates to DC’s New 52
DC Comics have shown us the New 52 design of Cheshire. Cheshire is one of the more dangerous assassins of the DC Universe; an expert in martial arts and poisons. It’s likely that she’ll have some connection to the Red Hood aka Jason Todd and to Roy Harper. Both Harper and Hood are part of […]
DC Universe, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe crossover announced
Keith Giffen, who writes Masters of the Universe, will also pen a DC Universe crossover. In an interview with Buzzfeed he acknowledges some of the typical problems with crossovers.

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 […]
