Lots of people were worried when Disney bought Marvel. Fear not, the good fight lives on…. or, at least, Disney hasn’t started to go through the back catalogue and started to censor things. Drawn by David Garcia from the Ultimate Comics Spider-man (2009) #15 is a rather nice cover. Poor Spidey doesn’t look as if […]

Buffy season 8 – not undead, it’s a motion-comic
Comic Con saw not only the limited release of Buffy the Vampire Slayer soda but also season 8. Just to explain; season 8 picks off where TV season 7 finishes but as a comic. In fact, you can get the motion adapted comic from iTunes. The pricing isn’t too bad; $1.99 each, or $29.99 for […]

MTV have a good scoop on the future of Max Brooks‘ World War Z series. The author confirmed that Brad Pitt would be doing the movie. The rights to the novel had been in a bit of a bidding war between Plam B Entertainment (Brad Pitt’s company) and Appian Way (Leonardo DiCaprio‘s company). Judging from […]
Moon Girl Trailer
Moon Girl is a comic by Tony Trov and Johnny Zito. The Rahzzah provides the art. It’s been described as Kick-Ass meets Marvel meets Detective Comics.

Comic Con Girls music video
The team over at Black Nerdy Comedy has mashed together Comic Con (which I’m not getting to go to) and California Gurls (I’ve still not heard the original) to produce – Comic Con Girls the Song! Whereas this is a song; some might say the strength is in the video offering. It’s pretty hard to […]

If you’re writing a book that mixes the undead (or perhaps sea monsters) with popular historical figures (fictional or otherwise) then you’re part way to getting a book deal. Is it a fad? Author Alan Goldsher doesn’t think so. He argues that the “mashup” has lasted long enough to become a sub-genre. It will have […]
The Fuller Memorandum review
The Fuller Memorandum is the third book in Charles Stross’s Laundry Files series. I don’t know when the series became known as the Laundry Files, but as our hero works for the Laundry and I sometimes describe the series as the X-Files meets Lovecraft I guess the “Files” extra works. Of course, that description is […]

New look for Wonder Woman
Babylon 5 creator J. Michael Straczynski is now the guiding force behind the Wonder Woman comics. The iconic superhero has a whole new look for Wonder Woman #600. What do you think about it?
