Alien – The Illustrated Story review
Frank Miller said of this book; “Alien – The Illustrated Story might just be the only successful movie adaptation ever done in comics. It’s an amazing graphic novel.” You may disagree with Miller but the comment shows just how good this graphic novel is. Alien – The Illustrated Story is an old one; the original […]
Harker: The Book of Solomon review
Harker is a British detective story. A comic that follows the genre of grizzled UK cops investigating the strange. So we have Detective Chief Inspector Harker and his assistant DS Critchley beginning The Book of Solomon with the discovery of a gruesome murder on the steps of a museum. The investigation quickly escalates into a […]
Charlotte Markham and the House of Darkling review
It’s quite hard to describe Charlotte Markham and the House of Darkling. It reminded me of a cross-over of an H.P. Lovecraft and an Euphemia Martins mystery. The latter being a quirky historical mystery featuring a plucky and curious maid who, due to family death, is working for a rich family even though her own […]
Damon______ comic
Damon______ (and the underscores are, apparently, part of the title) is a new comic that the creators say will appeal to fans of Person of Interest and Doctor Who. Okay; I’ll give it some time. The comic is written by Quinton Miles and the art is by Miguel Mendonça. It follows the adventures of an […]

This Book Is Full of Spiders: Seriously, Dude, Don’t Touch It trailer
At the risk of spoilers, John Dies at the End is one of the most surprising books I read last year. It’s surprising because I was sure it would rate somewhere on the dislike to meh when it actually rated on the meh to awesome side of the scale. Frequently flirting with the awesome. There’s […]
Billy the gay male Vampire Slayer, good idea?
The battle for attention in the world of comics is intense. Just sit back and watch DC and Marvel go at it and you’ll see what I mean. There will be some who will criticize this Dark Horse for re-writing the Buffy the Vampire Slayer mythology from “only females can be Vampire Slayers” to “only […]
Review of The Long Earth
The Long Earth is a book by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter. It’ll start with an admission. Although I was familiar with Pratchett and the Discworld series I wasn’t familiar with British sci-fi writer Stephen Baxter. Baxter is firmly established, a multi-award winner and responsible for the likes of Xeelee, A Time Odyssey (which was […]
