A Thing Called Truth #1

Nov 3, 2021

'A Thing Called Truth' #1 will be available to buy today in your local comic book store, or indeed online from the publishers " Image Comics. It was quite an interesting first issue, one that certainly needs more explanation. However it is still worth picking up, especially if you enjoyed Iolanda's previous published works.

Action Man #1

Jun 29, 2017

Certainly, there are a lot of positive points from this issue, and I would like to see how the story will continue down the line; perhaps a look at Doctor X in the next issue? So far, Action Man is highly recommended.

Adventure Time (2012) #36

Mar 12, 2015

This was a very interesting issue. You can follow the story even if you have never picked up the issues before this. I know I haven't, and perhaps I should change that. The artwork is very true to the animations style, which I am very happy with. I was only disappointed in the length of the comic, as it meant I have to wait until the next issue to read more. Well worth picking up this issue.

Alice in Leatherland #1

May 14, 2021

Alice in Leatherland is brought to us by real-life creative couple Iolanda Zanfardino (writer) and Elisa Romboli (artist) while they were in a pandemic lockdown together. Having found the time to sit down and work on a comic book mini series together, they created this diverse, modern romantic comedy that is bound to make a splash in the comic book industry. Im interested to see where this story will go in further issues and just how far it is willing to illustrate on page. Alice in Leatherland is being published by Black Mask Studios, the Los Angeles based indie publishing company. Who has previously published the following acclaimed titles; Calexit, Black, 4 Kids Walk Into A Bank, Loud, and Destiny, NY.

Aquicorn Cove #1

Apr 20, 2020

Aquicorn Cove is a book that not only focuses on how a young girl begins to adapt to life without her mother, but also shines light on an important environmental issue, with a magical twist. It is also LGBTQ friendly and can be used as an introduction to young readers on how big the World is when it comes to the different kinds of relationships out there. A story that has strong female characters at its core, that leave such an impact on the reader just as much as the illustrations do in supporting the story. I would be proud to give this book to any child, I believe it can be a stable in all book collections.

Battlecats: Vol. 3 #1

Jul 5, 2021

With each new issue the artwork and story has been reaching new heights. With a heavy plot the last number of issues, this latest one finds the characters still reeling from recent events. Its ultimately Kelthan that is going to have to shape up pretty fast and get his head in order if he wants to renew his pledge to his homeland and fallen King. Valderia is in upheaval, its citizens need saving and the Battlecats may need him once again.

Big Trouble In Little China #8

Mar 19, 2015

Very interesting read, and I could only have understood it all because I have seen the movie. Other than that the art work was really interesting and so was the writing. Very comical and fast paced story telling. Be interesting to see how the next issue continues this tale.

Big Trouble In Little China #10

May 7, 2015

The artwork is still the same as before but the standard is slipping, both with the characters faces in certain panels, as well as missing backgrounds. Once again the effort art wise is slack and it can be seen as well in their poor character designs for the three monsters at the beginning of the issue, playing cards with Jack. Otherwise the issue is good story wise, as we advance farther into this Wonderland called Hell. The jokes however are getting worse, and the best way to enjoy this issue, is with a few pints in you.

Bill & Ted's Most Triumphant Return #2

May 29, 2015

The artwork is a joy to look at. It carries a nostalgic feeling to it, resembling much of the old Scooby Doo. This feeling is perfect for the series, as it brings us back to the time when Bill & Ted first crossed our screens when it came out in the 90′s. The script is a big let down however, with overwritten dialogues for Bill & Ted's introductions, to the sudden character emotional changes. With Chuck driven to kill the two boys that have made his life hell, to suddenly dropping all his hate in a spilt second to chat up a girl, and then to suddenly accept their help. Its all too sudden for my taste, but fans of the series, may well feel differently than I do on this matter.

Cluster #2

Mar 31, 2015

This issue was a very interesting one, with more details being given about the characters past. As well as some mysteries that have yet to be brought to light. The art work is fantastic, and keeps giving me a nostalgic feeling like I've seen the style before. With its natural tones and dark lines, as well as its character designs, reminds me of the old Star Wars and X Men comics. At the end of this comic, you meet the leader of the rebels, Lustig, who I think is a dead ringer of Bishop from the X Men animated TV series. This is an issue not to be missed.

The artwork keeps with the same style as the previous issues, with its dark lines and favouriting of shadows. As well as its futuristic, interplanetary style.

Contraband #1

May 21, 2021

This comic has raised some frightening but real live occurrences that need to be addressed. The Dark Web is real, it needs to be monitored and legislation, protocols and technology needs to be improved upon to better contain & immobilise it. This title has brought forth a topic that many may not have been aware of up to now, but it has gained the spotlight so it can be addressed.

By not only expanding their stories, but just bringing them back once again as the cast continue now with Campaign 3 with a host of new characters, quests and adventures awaiting them all.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba #1

Apr 10, 2020

Just like it's animated adaptation, we begin on a snowy mountain top as Tanjiro, unknownst to the boy, is interacting with the vast majority of his family for the final time. We understand the amount of hard work he puts in to helping his family and how respected he has come to be in the village below. Having already gained a good impression of how nice this character is, it's even more heartbreaking seeing how he is quickly left with no time to mourn his family and is so soon forced to try to protect his sister from being slaughtered before his eyes. Through this volume we see him travel through dangerous paths, encounter other demons, begin his training and set forth on his own path to becoming a Demon Slayer.

Donald Duck (2015) #1

Jun 9, 2015

This issue is a strong start to the new comic series bringing us the classic tales sand laughs from our favourite sailor inspired Duck; Donald. Just like the Uncle Scrooge comic that started recently, this issue is comprised of various side stories and a main story filled with ruffled feathers and our classic Disney characters. The artwork is exactly what you would expect from Disney, bringing its iconic characters back to live and supplying us with the types of situations and script we can come to expect in any cartoon rendition. I simply read this comic with the characters voices in my head, even with the triplets lisps and I could not have enjoyed the issue more. Well worth picking up and following the series.

Donald Duck (2015) #2

Jul 24, 2015

The artwork is as enjoyable as always, and truly stands the test of time. It makes you think you are holding an old issue, back in the 80s or 90s. Where if you hold it for too long, the dye will smear across your fingers. It still holds the piece of childhood that all classic comics seem to possess, and lets the reader fully enjoy the spark of being a kid again. The artwork isnt flashy and full of bright, neon colours. Its simple, and in that we get to fully enjoy the stories for what they are.

Dream Daddy #2

Nov 15, 2018

You can buy this series in physical print at your local comic book store, but it is also available digitally on the following platforms: Comixology, Amazon Kindle, iBooks, Steam and Google Play. It is a perfect series to get for those that have played the game, but as a newcomer to the franchise, it can be a tad confusing. It is clearly made for existing fans, as there are a few unknown bits of information about the characters that remain unexplained in the comics.

Dream Daddy #3

Dec 7, 2018

Altogether a good short read. You do get to see how the iconic characters from the game interact with one another when working on this commercial. Like myself, who has never played the game or have even watched any playthroughs of it yet on YouTube, newcomers will be lost with this comic series. You need the background information and ideally would also need to be a fan of the franchise to fully enjoy this comic adaption. It is currently available each month in stores and online, with #3 out now.

Which looks like it will be bringing us a tale of Dungeon and Dragons, with the cast of Maple Bay.

Eromanga Sensei #2

Jun 13, 2019

This is such a nice in depth look into how different authors can be, even if they both write the same genre, each have their own approach to their work. Some see it as a full time job, other's as a hobby, while some don't even see it as work, but more of an artform. Refusing to put pen to paper until they are sure what they are writing is worth publishing.

The artwork is fantastic. My favourite part though has to be the two variant covers in the issue by Kaylie McDougal. If you don't like these images, then put the comic down. This series is not for you. Like I said in previous reviews for this series, it is not for the strongly religious type, especially Christians. They will find this so offensive. But if you like all the above, and this is your first time reading the series. Then go and pick up issue 1.

My favourite part has to be the colour used in the fight scenes, especially with the use of fire from the crashed flying saucer. Like always, it is a good laugh looking at the various facial expressions, and Sister Maria gives us some interesting ones for a Nun.

They art style reminds me of the stories in the young girls comic Jackie, that my mother used to read as a young girl back in the 1970s. This comic features a black and white art scheme and every variation of grey in-between, as well as the odd splash of red. It completely goes with the theme of the comic, and is no surprise seeing as this series as been in circulation for the past 30 odd years. The creators are the masters of this comic by now and are sure to give us top quality reading and art work.

The colours are simplistic, which makes it easy on the eye when reading. It also gives it a very child friendly look to it as well.

This was a joy to read and was full of action and information on Chrysalis. It was also nice to see the addition of the main MLP characters for once as well. The art is as easy to follow as the rest of the issues, and does not distract you from the storyline, which is a huge plus. The cover art is fantastic and one that you would not typically associate with the MLP franchise. Its a welcome change and one that really draws you towards the comic if you saw it on a news stand. Its a shame its the last issue, but I will be re-reading it again and again in the future.

The artwork is still the colourful, child friendly style we have come to admire over the series. Its not the best or the worst, but the stories do outshine it. This issue is well worth the read, and it all continues with Part 2 of the story in Issue 31.

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic #34

Nov 3, 2015

This issue plays more like a Benny Hill comedy with more chases involved than actual fighting. With the villains causing as much mayhem as possible to divide the Ponyville forces and send them in different directions, their distraction has made it possible for the main character to make their return. It's all going to come to a head in the next installment so sit tight! As there will be plenty of fighting between the friendship of magic vs darkness.

Illustrated by Andy Price, who has done work for DC Comics, Marvel Comics, Innovation Comics and the Rittenhouse Archives. From the disturbing character designs of the Umbrum, the action packed battle scenes, and the tear evoking final images at the end, this issue has been a beauty to look at. Its script however could have done with a bit more work. None the less, its worth the money buying this issue!

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic #39

Feb 17, 2016

This story was written by Christina Rice who has worked on both the Friends Forever and Friendship is Magic series. She was even responsible for penning the Fiendship is Magic issue featuring Tirek the minotaur. Illustrations were supplied by Agnes Garbowska, a Canadian freelance artist who has worked across the MLP comic franchise. Her most recognizable work is the third issue of the Fiendship is Magic series dedicated to the Sirens. Her character designs are both cute and chibi, but the only issue I have with them is Snails appearance. Snails is known as a pony yet his neck suggests a giraffe and is too out of proportion to the rest of his body and the characters. I don't know if this is intentional or a coincidence.

Featuring a collage of photographs from Spikes earliest days as a baby dragon, under the watchful eye of Twilight, (who looks very stressed out.)The second cover is for the subscribers and has been done with pastel colouring pencils. A soft technique that is perfect for the image, with Twilight, baby Spike and her parents enjoying a trip to the beach. This one was created by Sara Richard.The third cover is by Jennifer L. Meyer, with a passed out Twilight cradling a little Spike. A touching scene and one that truly reflects the young fillies torn commitments, between study and Spike.And lastly the Hot Topic exclusive is a scene straight out of US Box Office Hit – The Hangover. Twilight holds the innocent Spike in a baby carrier, while wearing some trendy dark shades.My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Issue 40 is available now from all the awesome comic book shops!

Although a bit of a dissatisfying end to the story, as there was a great build up for a battle, it was a positive outcome for all involved. We get to see how brave Spike can be, how he can take charge of a situation and how even in the World of Unicorns, Dragons & Yaks there can still be some racism. All was handled rather well, as those involved owned up to their behaviour. Looking forward to seeing what the next MLP Friendship is Magic story will be next time.

This book has been full of laughs, down-to-earth lessons about life, enjoying it even though you may be a part of the elderly demographic. It instills a lesson about respect for the older generations that came before us, that perhaps they too still have their witty moments. They have lived so long, that they have certainly picked up a trick or two that will come in handy when it comes to out maneuvering 'death' if he comes knocking. It's stories like these that begin to open your eyes a bit more to those around you, that perhaps you thought were a bit too 'senile' to interact with. I would love to see more books like this being released by Hiromi Goto, as they really do leave a memorable impact on the reader.

I could give this comic to any person, be it a grandparent or a playschool kid and I am 100% sure they would have no complaints about the artwork. If the artists were trying to take us back to a more simpler time, sitting by the fire with no TV insight, then they have achieved it!
