Aliens: Dead Orbit #1

Mar 31, 2017

Overall, Ive enjoyed the first issue of Dead Orbit and I look forward to watching this intense game of cat and mouse unfold. I love nothing more than being immersed in a scary, adrenaline-fueled space horror, especially one that involves a xenomorph. I just hope that this story maintains its chilling momentum and offers us something that we havent encountered from this nasty creature yet.

American Gods: Shadows #1

Mar 11, 2017

Overall, Im excited about this comic adaptation and I look forward to future issues. Its great to be able to revisit this wonderful story, visualised with interesting and unusual art. Im curious to see how such a large novel will be condensed down into twenty-seven single issues without sacrificing the complex story that we have come to know. This is a comic for both old and new fans, for those who have read this book multiple times and for those who have never ventured into this strange world before. Do yourself a favour and grab a copy ASAP!

The Once And Future Queen #1

Feb 22, 2017

The Once and Future Queen #1 is a story that will appeal to a younger audience wanting to familiarise themselves with the Arthurian tale with a modern twist.

Its early days yet, so any world building or character development has yet to be established, so these things may unfold in later issues. Im curious to see where this story will go and how it will unfold and whether it can continue to drive forward in a fresh and original way.
