Genre Police: A Change Is Gonna Come

September 27, 2018 by Ben Jackson-Ellery Leave a Comment

Dazzler

Mostly when I write a genre police story, I begin by picking the genre and then discussing the issues around the context and creation of the genre. But today we’re going to have to approach this article from a different perspective. We’re about to talk about the Bronze age of comics, a style and era […]

Irregular Reconnaissance: Comic Books #6

February 13, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It is the first Irregular Reconnaissance: Comics catch up of 2014 and there’s more than half a dozen micro-reviews. In Irregular Reconnaissance I look back of recent reading to share opinion, insight but mainly opinion. The goal? There’s a wealth of comic book goodness out there and it can be hard to decide when to […]

17 DC New 52 superhero Valentine’s Day cards to groan at

February 8, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Last year DC comics issues a bunch of pun-laden superhero Valentine’s Day cards. They did so in order to promote the 2013 “Young Romance: A New 52 Valentine’s Day Special“. In it Wonder Woman talks to Eros about her feelings for Superman, Aquaman treats his wife like a queen, Dick Grauson and the daughter of […]

Irregular Reconnaissance: Comic Books #4

November 19, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

More comic book goodness? That’s right; they come thick and fast – although like the title of this column Irregular Reconnaissance sometimes the publishing schedule does seem a little irregular. In this catch up I offer my untalented, non-obsessive, comic book fan view into the series I’m currently splashing the cash on. Do you agree […]

DC Comic’s Constantine to get his own TV show

September 27, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I was just moaning about Constantine in Irregular Reconnaissance when NBC go and announce a TV show. David Goyer (Batman Begins, Man of Steel) and Daniel Cerone (The Mentalist) are writing the script. This is interesting as we’ll be left to wonder whether the TV show will tie in with Guillermo del Toro’s Dark Universe […]

Irregular Reconnaissance: Comic Books #2

September 22, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Living up to the name “Irregular” here is the second comic book edition of Irregular Reconnaissance. This is a chance to do quick catch-ups of the comic books and graphic novels that have found their way in front of my eyes in recent times. Each comic book listing has a micro summary and a recommendation. […]

Will Guillermo del Toro’s Dark Universe create a DC Universe?

July 9, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

You’ve seen the Marvel films and know how they all live in the same “Universe.” We had the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents throughout and then the Avengers as the wrap. Will DC manage something similar? Will Superman act the starting movie that creates a world the others live in? If so then attention must turn to Guillermo […]

Irregular Reconnaissance: Comic Books #1

July 2, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Welcome to the first issue of Irregular Reconnaissance. This section of the blog acts as a quick fire series of reviews. Okay, it’s a way to sound off about the comics we’ve been reading and what we think. Full reviews tend to focus on big issues, first issues, last issues or complete series runs. The […]

DC’s Dark Universe might be their best chance against Marvel’s Avengers

April 2, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

Guillermo del Toro was at WonderCon to help promote Pacific Rim, the mecha versus Kaiju film, and it certainly feels like that’s going to be a great movie. While he was at the convention he also talked about Dark Universe – that’s the working name, perhaps the final name – for the “Justice League Dark” […]
