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 […]
InuYasha: Curtain of Time concludes the manga
Rumiko Takahashi‘s highly acclaimed InuYasha ran from 1996 to 2008 in Japan. VIZ Media has announced that the final issue of the English manga will conclude on the 11th of January this year with issue 56: Curtain of Time. InuYasha, a half-demon, encounters Kagome a modern-day high school girl after she’s pulled into Japan’s ancient […]
Victorian Undead: Sherlock Holmes vs Zombies review
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?
