Steampunk goes native in Savant’s Kali 47

January 15, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

If some of the steampunks in this Savant – Kali 47 look familiar it is because they’re from the League of S.T.E.A.M. Less familiar is the story. This is supernatural meets Steampunk meets a good ol’ cowboy story. In this case; a story that’s available in 4K should want to burn bandwidth. Warning: Dubstep.

About the Infinity Gauntlet; what powers does it have?

January 15, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood 6 Comments

The comic book fans at NeoMan Studios have put together this infographic for Thanos’ Infinity Gauntlet. This is a mashup of comic book lore of powers and colours of Infinity stones with the Marvel movies they’ve featured on. The Space stone appeared first in Captain America: The First Avenger, then it was the Mind stone […]

Super spy violence: A review of Kingsman

January 14, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I liked Mark Millar, Dave Gibbons and Matthew Vaughn’s The Secret Service: Kingsman comic book. At the time I tried to imagine what the movie of the super spy story would be like. My sense was that it would be hard to do but the superstar team make it work – thanks, largely, to the […]

Steampunk candle uses incredible design

January 14, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood 3 Comments

I need this candle! What on Earth is going on here? This clever design is called the “60 Hour Candle” and, yeah, beeswax candle lasts for about 60 hours. The coil of wax burns at the rate of three-inches for every hour, or there abouts, and as it’s 180 inches long that gives you plenty […]

Fantastically sinister art from David Palumbo

January 13, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

David Palumbo is a talented freelance illustrator who has worked for Marvel, Nightshade Books, Pyr Books, Heavy Metal Magazine and Wizards of the Coast. I really like the Philadelphia-based artist’s style. Palumbo manages to blend real with the unreal in quite a sinister way. You can view more of his art on Deviant Art, his […]

The evolution of game books: A review of Sol Invictus

January 13, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

I’m impressed by the technology and the format of Cubus Games’ SOL INVICTUS. This is a book for your smartphone or tablet and headphones are recommended. You can pick it up on Google Play or Apple’s App Store. There are iPhone and iPad versions available for the latter. As it happens SOL INVICTUS is the […]

A Smallville Man blends Superman with the Foo Fighters

January 13, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

A Smallville man was written and illustrated by Mauricio Abril. It uses more than 150 illustrations to tell an original Superman story. It’s a perfect match to the Foo Fighter’s Walk.

Broken Ruler Games attaches to Mystical Throne Entertainment

January 13, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

At the end of 2014 the future didn’t look so rosy for The Warden’s Broken Ruler Games. He wrote on the company’s Facebook page; The End of This Chapter All stories must be able to move forward and doing so requires them to reach their inevitable conclusion. Sad to say that the story of Broken […]
