Go wild: A review of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld Colouring Book
Colouring Books designed for adults rather than kids are high fashion right now. I see why; they’re fun. You get to escape into a book, do something with your hands that isn’t typing and get to create. For many of us that’s a rare combination of activities and a welcome one. My prediction is whole […]
Superhero Week: Iron Man is now a 15-year old black girl
Tony Stark is not in a good way. The events in Civil War 2 will mean that the original Iron Man will make some big life changes and finally step away from the mantle. Who’ll step up? It looks like Riri Williams, the 15-year old genius, will. With some plot spoilers, I09 have an interview […]
Write or die: A review of An Android Awakes
I thought An Android Awakes was going to be a comic book or graphic novel from Mike French. It certainly isn’t a comic book but I suppose you could call it a graphic novel. There are illustrations throughout the collection of short stories. You might be reminded of One Thousand and One Nights. In the […]
Titan secures Raid and Vikings comic book deals
Vikings: Godhead was a success for Titan Comics, selling out, and helping to secure a new series. Cavan Scott (Vikings, Doctor Who) is back with Batman artist Staz Johnson to expand the series. The cover art variants include work from Mark Hammermeister, Claudia Caranfa, Verity Glass, Joe Glass and a regular cover by Chris Wahl. […]
Her greatest enemy: A review of Andromeda’s War
I suppose if I’m honest with myself I’m surprised how much I liked Andromeda’s War and the Andromeda’s Fall series. It’s a spin off from The Legion of the Damned which I will now read. I guess it goes to show you shouldn’t judge a series just because the main character has a name like […]
Titan to create original Robotech comic series
Titan Comics has struck a deal with Harmony Gold to bring the cult 80s Robotech series back as a series of comic books. Not that they ever really went anywhere. The new Robotech series will debut early 2017 but creative team announcements have yet to be made. Titan’s direct sales and marketing manager, Rick Claydon, […]
Splintered gods and guns: A review of Stranger of Tempest
There’s a scene in Stranger of Tempest, when the adventuring party is deep underground, in the dwarven ruins and while some flaming demon is roaming around, that one of the heroes says; Run, you fools! Remind you of Gandalf, the fellowship and the Balrog? I was waiting for it. I sensed author Tom Lloyd knew […]
Awesome Media option Jay Gunn’s Surface Tension
Imagine writing and illustrating your own comic book – for it then to be picked up professionally, for it to be a hit and then for Awesome Media for a TV role? That’s exactly what happened to Jay Gunn as the company has optioned Surface Tension. I rather enjoyed Surface Tension. Okay, billions died and […]
Sex and Storms: A review of The Enchantment Emporium
The flourish of pink text that read “The Enchantment Emporium” on the front of the book reminded me of the made for the female audience romance novels I sometimes see during my trips through airports. Not my type of book. The Enchantment Emporium, however, is a Tanya Huff book. I know Huff from the Confederation […]
