Doctor Crowe #1 |
Oct 11, 2016 |
Doctor Crowe is a concept we have seen too many times before and it is neither good nor bad, but somewhere in the murky middle lurking around complete a level of completely forgettable. |

Evil Heroes #2 |
Sep 13, 2016 |
If this was an issue of Injustice Gods Among Us, IXth Generation or for that matter Squadron Supreme or even Xena, then this might feel like a really good book, the problem is it draws so heavily from other series that it just feels repetitious. I understand that it is trying to be topical and allegorical, but unless you are Alan Moore creating Watchmen, this is bound to fail. |

Grimm Fairy Tales Presents: Wonderland #51 |
Sep 9, 2016 |
Wonderland ends with a bang and a fizzle, gory and exciting, but ultimately a bit flat, but I don't think you could give a contradictory book like this any more of a satisfying conclusion. |

Red Agent: The Human Order #1 |
Dec 5, 2016 |
Red Agent gives us enough to keep you interested for next month, but unless you buy these books for the art, I think it will disappoint long term. |

Symmetry #8 |
Oct 17, 2016 |
This comic was a perfectly applicable one, which let you form your own conclusions as to right and wrong, but the writer rode rough shod over that with his own allegory and that destroyed it. |

Red Dog #1 |
Sep 5, 2016 |
This is a Michael Bay film in printed form. It looks fantastic, it reads fine and hits all the right notes but there is absolutely no soul behind it. |

Hellchild: The Unholy #1 |
Oct 24, 2016 |
Hellchild replaces Zenescope's usual cheesecake with gore-porn, but still makes a good go at a new series for this developing character. |

Britannia (2016) #1 |
Sep 23, 2016 |
Britannia is a fantastic historical fiction comic, with a solid hero and the most disgusting of antagonists in Emperor Nero. |

Eisenhorn: XENOS #0 |
Sep 16, 2016 |
Xenos is one long advert for an upcoming game, its saving grace is that it is a really, really good advert. |

Sweet Lullaby #1 |
Jan 16, 2017 |
Sweet Lullaby is a really engrossing read, once you get over the really annoying code names. |

Conan: The Slayer #3 |
Sep 26, 2016 |
As it's written by Mr Bunn, I am definitely going to assume the latter and it succeeded in his plan; I missed the first 2 issues without concern, but I am certainly not going to miss any more of them, even if I have to put up with the thought bubbles! |

Seven to Eternity (2016) #1 |
Sep 28, 2016 |
Seven to Eternity is a return to form for Remender and Opena and makes me very happy to have stuck with them after their less than stellar end at Marvel.. |
