I really enjoyed [LINK] the pilot episode of Being Human [official site], the fantasy drama about werewolf, vampire and ghost who share a flat in Bristol, and was very happy when it was announced that they were getting a full season (well, six episodes). I was a little disappointed that…
Even though X-Factor #40 came out last week, I didn't make the trip to the comic shop just to buy one book – I'm lazy like that. Fortunately, there was a book for me this week, so I had sufficient reason to drag my sorry backside out to the shop…
I might be sharing too much here, but I've always loved the idea of 'psychic' powers – telepathy and telekinesis in particular – which is probably one of the reasons I enjoyed Chris Claremont's Uncanny X-Men so much growing up. The ability to do things with the power of the…
I first saw Terry Dodson's art on two early Warren Ellis mini-series for Marvel – Storm and Pryde and Wisdom. His soft, curvy and beautiful characters have an instant appeal, and he can also tell a story. His art has a similarity to Adam Hughes – the gorgeous female characters…
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a beautiful love story – the film will only work if you allow the charm of the story to work its magic upon you. Unlike Roger Ebert or Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian, two respected film critics whose opinion I trust, I found…
On my Tumblr blog [LINK], I post an image a day of things I like, usually comic book covers. As well as books that represent my comic book collection, I also post covers from the solicitations for DC and Marvel that catch my eye. In doing so, I've become worried…

Another week, another selection of comics, another delayed review – that Friday just seems to escape from me ... In addition to the books I've been getting in the monthly format, I decided on a whim to buy Neil Gaiman's Batman story; I'm still not sure why, but I've always…
[Chris Bachalo Official Website] This is the second instalment in what I hope will be a regular feature where I highlight some of the artists I like. There is no preference to the order – just what I feel like at the time – and I'll post some art and…
I saw Slumdog Millionaire before it won all its BAFTAs last night but didn't get round to reviewing it, so this is probably the best time to share my thoughts. Slumdog Millionaire is NOT the 'feel-good film of the decade' – you should know that before seeing this film (even…
