A review of Plague Nation by Dana Fredsti
Plague Nation is the second Ashley Parker novel and follows Plague Town. The third book, not out yet, is to be called Plague World so you can see how things are progressing. I reviewed Plague Town nearly a year ago and enjoyed it. It was a zombie novel that would appeal to zombie fans while […]

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.

New super villains: The Joker’s Daughter and Relic
DC have been teasing fans with images and sketches of new super villains. First up is The Joker’s Daughter. All we have is the image but she’s clearly wearing the Joker’s face. Gregg Katzman at Comic Vine speculates this might be the New 52 introducing Duela Dent or perhaps this is Harley Quinn’s daughter. We […]
How Marvel smuggled Doctor Who into the Avengers
You can buy Avengers #7 for just a few dollars and thousands of Avenger fans are doing just that. An eagle eyed fan noticed something in the issue that might appeal to Doctor Who fans too – Doctor Who. In particular, four characters who look a lot like the tenth Doctor, Captain Jack, Micky and […]
Atticus for the Undead review
A zombie shambles into a woman’s apartment. Her body is found later, torn, ripped and with her head missing. Hunter Gamble is the zombie’s lawyer and doesn’t think he is responsible for the crime. This is the set up for Atticus for the Undead. If, like me, the name Atticus immediately makes you think of […]
