Exalted comic volume 1 review
White Wolf have have just released a PDF of Exalted Volume 1 of the new Exalted comic. I thought I’d check it out. I was expecting to be pleased. The artwork in Exalted has always appealed to me. I was bang in White Wolf’s target market for the game – an anime fan, someone looking […]
Primeval: Extinction Event review
I enjoyed Primeval: Extinction Event far more than I thought I would. This is not the case of me judging a book by the cover – that features the character Abby Maitland, played by the actress Hannah Spearrit and would therefore rate very highly – but me worrying too much about the troubled Primeval TV […]
IGN splashes the cash with UK Kapow! Comic Con sponsorship
Comics seem to be in robust health this year. Still plenty of films either taking their inspiration from comic books or presenting themselves as simple adaptations. This year will also be the first time Comic Con has been held in the UK. It’ll be called Kapow! Comic Con. The likes of Jonathan Ross and Frankie […]

Annie Leung from the United States of America is in the record books. In particular, she’ll be in the 2011 edition of Guinness World Records – Gamer’s Edition. I had no idea there was such a book. I do now. Guinness has produced a video that introduces Annie Leung and her Guitar Hero III talent. […]

Graphic.ly secures another $3m. Real life comic book heroes?
I’m a big fan of the concept of Graphic.ly. It’s where you go to find online comics and read them in a screen-friendly way. I’ve used their app on my touchscreen laptop. I think their Chrome Extension is a successful trailblazer (and an illustration of just how powerful the future web will be). I’m clearly […]
A Sickness in the Family review
This is a paradox. A Sickness in the Family is a smashing graphic novel by Denise Mina (who wrote Still Midnight) but I can’t say I finished by saying “I’m glad I read that.” I’d still recommend the book to friends but I’ll not tell them they’ll enjoy it. A Sickness in the Family is […]
A Shadow on the Glass review
I’ve finally finished Ian Irvine’s A Shadow on the Glass. This was the book that earned me the GetGlue sticker War and Peace because I was checking into the book for over a month. I’m pleased I got to the end but it was a struggle. Why was A Shadow on the Glass such a […]
