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 […]
Out of this world fitba: A review of Rok of the Reds
Brace yourself for a laugh at my expense! I saw a small comic company based in my native Scotland, I saw the industry legends John Wagner and Alan Grant (Judge Dredd, Strontium Dog, et al) and I saw Intergalactic Spaceman. Would I review that? Of course! Sign me up. Except; I saw wrong. It’s not […]
Revolution or revenge: A review of Andromeda’s Choice
William Dietz is known for the Legion of the Damned series. I’ve not read that. I picked up at Andromeda’s Fall instead. In other words, with Andromeda’s Choice, I’m reading the sequel to the prequel series. I rather like it this way. If time allows I’ll move onto the Legion of the Damned and perhaps […]
Best of three: A review of The Girl on the Liar’s Throne
The Girl on the Liar’s Throne is a rare fantasy – it is the last in the trilogy and the best in the series. You can check my reviews for the first book The Boy with the Porcelain Blade and the sequel The Boy Who Wept Blood and see how the series starts of good, […]
