Wherein I prattle on about comic-related things. Winging their way to my grubby mitts via my excellent LCS: Gotham Central #34 Intimates #10 PVP #0 Stupid Comics #3 Gotham Central (soon to be Streets of Gotham, according to Rich Johnston – will Rucka still be on board? – who also…
Without further ado, some Reviews: Runaways v2 #6 Brian Vaughan brings home 'True Believers' with resolution, secrets revealed and mysteries begun. It was obvious that Victor is going to come around, the enjoyment should be in the how. The 'moment' isn't anything extraordinary, as I've come to expect from BKV,…
When I heard this was being made, I did wonder what the point of it was. I’m not saying you can’t remake things, but I couldn’t see the purpose behind having another go at a story that has been told many times in a variety of different media. But I…
Lovely comics I shall be buying this week: Hellboy: The Island #2 Astro City: The Dark Age #2 Legion of Super-Heroes #8 Pulse #10 Runaways #6 I'm not sure if I should be waiting for Astro City: The Dark Age to be collected. It's going to read better in trade…

Some people might think that it is strange that I am posting a review of a comedy programme the day after the second London attack. That is their right. For me, I was born, bred and live in London, and these cowardly attacks on this wonderful city anger me beyond…
I didn’t go to San Diego, but I always get a laugh out of the photos that come out of there every year (especially the ones sent to Warren Ellis) but this picture is THE greatest image ever, and is my Something Borrowed. For Something New, my selection of comics…
I’ve got to pay my comic blog union dues. The list can be found here (as long as poor CBR are working okay still) or you can get them from the source here. Now, is it me, or does the image for All-Star Batman & Robin #3 play into the…
