I was a zombie over the Christmas holidays. I caught something really nasty and was barely able to shuffle around the flat. I was, however, able to pick up and rip through Eddington and Fabbri’s impressive Victorian Undead: Sherlock Holmes vs Zombies. This is a fantastic graphic novel. Really, the title gives you summary. This […]

ECHOES sells out after just one day
ECHOES is a supense-thriller/horror title from Top Cow that asks the question; can you inherit murder? From Joshua Hale Fialkov (Tumor, Pilot Season: Alibi) and Rahsan Ekedal (Creepy) ECHOES is being handled via Diamond Comics Distrubutors and a second printing is already on the way. Brian Cohn was learning to deal with the Schizophrenia inherited […]
King 2 review
As far as I know the sequel to King is simply called King 2. It rather feels it needs a witty sub-title that somehow manages to evoke feelings of Elvis, zombies and Mexican wrestling. King 2 gets off to a good start. Early on, as we read about Blacklist Studio there’s the standard disclaimer that […]
The Avengersaurs
What if the Avengers were also dinosaurs? I’m not entirely sure that’s a “what if” question that gets asked a lot. Geek Native’s traffic logs suggest that quite a few people ask “What if superheroes transformed into women” but I suspect that’s catering to a different mind set entirely! The artist behind this set of […]
Lenore: Cooties review
I was introduced to Lenore via the trailer for Lenore #2. That trailer was all I needed to know about Lenore – she’s a cute little dead girl, she’s stalked by Mr Gosh and it seems she may be a little unstable herself. Okay, more than a little unstable but cutely so. The mastermind is […]
Batman Batman Batman
I’m not sure the best way to describe this photograph. I think the word “Batman” is appropriate. “Batman Batman” might also work. I think it shows various Batman costumes throughout the ages. What do you think? Batman gathering?
The Strange Affair of Spring-Heeled Jack
Mark Hodder’s debut novel is a Victorian steampunk history mashup. I’m always slightly cautious of historical mashups; surely real life heroes can’t be as interesting as fictional ones or what if you don’t like the treatment someone is given? At a glance The Strange Affair of Spring-Heeled Jack is taking a risk. Just look at […]
The most successful sci-fi series of all time
Perry Rhodan is the most successful sci-fi book series of all time. The space opera has sold over one billion copies. Heard of it? The series was created by K. H. Scheer and Clark Darlton in the 1960s in Germany. Translations into English also began in 1960s by a husband and wife team Forrest and […]
Avatar: Collector’s Vault 3D is the perfect Christmas present
Avatar: Collector’s Vault 3D is more than a book. Sure, it’s classed as a book but the hardback comes in a cardboard box sleeve, comes with 3D glasses, comes with pull-outs and cards. It is a fully 3D book; not just because you can use the glasses to turn the pictures into semi-3D images but […]
Hentai Harry Potter euphemisms puns
“If you open up your chamber of secrets…” Oh dear. I suspect some searchers will be coming to this post only to be disappointed. The clue was in the words “euphemisms” and “puns” (although, really, there’s only one of each). Hey, I could have added the word “picture” to the title but that would have […]
