May 19, 2015

The character of Vampirella has been on the go since 1969 and crossed several publishers but is still going strong and looks to show sign of faltering and this interpretation is a fine addition to an already mighty bibliography .

Uncanny: Season Two #2

May 7, 2015

All in all Uncanny Season 2 #2 is above average and is a start of a story arc, so the build up is necessary but not always as exciting and intriguing as it could be. None the less its still a good story with good characters and interesting plot and universe

Uncanny: Season Two #6

Sep 2, 2015

The good points of Uncanny: Season 2 #6 is that this chapter brings to the end a continuing arc over the past two seasons and questions are answered with some nice justice being dealt. The downside is that more questions are asked and new plot threads introduced and the season ends on a potential cliff hanger, so i hope this is an indication of more to come or i will not be happy with Mr Diggle even if he did say on Facebook that he felt like writing something Losers style. Thorough enjoyed season 2 as the book has a nice action adventure feel to it and they characters are more human than stereotypes, although the bad guy is a mean SOB.

Vampirella (2014) Annual #1

Oct 1, 2015

Will Eisner's The Spirit #6

Dec 25, 2015

In conclusion Will Eisner's The Spirit #6 is a nice wee book with the hero being a vigilante of the old school, who doesn't belong to some para-military or government organisation, does good for the sake of doing good and has a sense of humour and is confused by woman. This is how comic book heroes should be. I enjoyed the book and don't really have anything negative to say, this story arc is half way through and the reemergence of the shadow has happened so the villain and their motives have to be revealed now.

Legenderry: Green Hornet #4

May 12, 2015

The only downside with Legenderry: Green Hornet #4 is no recap at the beginning as i only reviewed this issue and now really want to investigate the Legenderry world and see the steampunk reimagining of Dynamites Characters and also what came before, including the other spin offs. This book is a blast, fun and good entertainment and i hope the conclusion in the next issue is as enjoyable as this.

Blackcross #3

May 13, 2015

Project Superpowers: Blackcross #3 isn't bad but is nothing overly spectacular either and i don't like saying that about Warren Ellis's work but as i haven't read the first two issues and have only had minor encounters with the Golden Age characters in this book, which is a shame as i do enjoy the Masks series and the issue of Legenderry: Green Hornet i read is a lot of fun, showing that Dynamite can make the Golden Age characters work. I have faith that the final three issues will be sterling in their execution.

John Carter: Warlord of Mars #10

Aug 26, 2015

The positive aspects of the story in John Carter: Warlord of Mars #10 is that it's a nice wee tale with big pages of art and focuses on Tars Tarkas with nice art and character building. The negative side is that the tale may be too simple and of no relevance or consequence to the Barsoom universe rather than to remind folk what a badass Tars is and that Woola is not to be trifled with either. I can't dislike this story even for its simplicity as i have a respect for Edgar rice Burroughs and his Barsoom world and the ingenuity of his world building that was created over a 100 years ago and how it stands the test of time and is better than some efforts that appear in the sci-fi genre today. There is i feel still a place for the old-fashioned good versus evil, bright and bold heroic stories without them resorting to dark, gritty and depressing.

D4VE2 #1

Sep 18, 2015

The positive aspects of D4VE2 #1 is for the best part the artwork it far outshines the story. The negatives of the book is the annoying vulgar humour which is even weirder with robots. I haven't read the first series so I'm giving the book the benefit of the doubt and the last page did throw a few questions out that I'm intrigued to see answered. It's just this issue reads like a bad drama with a few swear words thrown in to make it seem funny. Not a great start to a series for me.

Power Up #1

Jul 23, 2015

It has been foretold that four noble warriors of incredible strength would be gifted with cosmic abilities at a moment of planetary alignment...which, yeah, something definitely went wrong here. Amie is a disaffected twentysomething with a lot of attitude, Kevin is a washed-up athlete way past his prime, Sandy's a mother of two teenagers, and Silas...is a goldfish. Just a normal goldfish. Are we sure we read that prophecy right?

Big Trouble In Little China #11

May 26, 2015

I feel Big Trouble in Little China #11 is for die-hard fans of the movie or for fans of Eric Powell who is good at fantasy horror writing but i feel he's not getting to do his full magic in this book. I may have caught the series on an off issue and normally love movie and television tie-ins but this doesn't hit the mark for me, which i find a shame as Jack Burton is a legend.
