SpiderManNews reviewed Red Thorn Vol. 1: Glasgow Kiss Sep 3, 2016
This is my favourite comic of all time. Scottish demi god erupts into the modern day world. Incredible writing, art and colors - and a plot to DIE FOR.
Insanely good comic. Heartbroken that it's only 14 issues.
On the rain-soaked streets of Glasgow, a girl whose drawings somehow come to life has just stumbled across her one true love. And thousands of miles below those streets, an ancient demi-god plots his escape from the prison where hes been held for nearly two thousand years. In these tales from the first seven issues of RED THORN, evil forces are at ...

SpiderManNews reviewed Red Thorn #8 Jun 28, 2016
Well doesn't this just take the biscuit? A total change of pace as we follow the Stepping Orc on a daily adventure. Of course Thorn also has stuff going on - we just don't realise it.
Amazing story, amazing art, colors to die for, fab cover and Todd Klein on letters. This kicks ass!
Thorn discovers kilts, the Stepping Orc visits the Whitburn Wiccan and the Upstart Gods rain bloody chaos down on Glasgow. But where are Isla and Tarek? And what secret does the Couril of the Callanish Stone Circle so jealously protect? Meghan Hetrick and David Baillie answer all of these questions and more in "A Wicked Garden," the eighth chapter ...
SpiderManNews reviewed Red Thorn #7 May 20, 2016
Wow - I usually hate flashback issues, but this one had me in tears. Like actually in tears.
Glasgow, 1991 - the year Grunge Broke. The year Isla's sister went...
Well - I won't spoil it for you. But it's brilliant. Steve Pugh is a genius, and Nick Filardi (is he a guest colorist or new regular?) does a great job too. Todd Klein rounds it off, and a great cover from Choong Yoong.

Wow - this was the most incredible end to a story arc I can remember reading. How they're going to follow this up and **** **** I do not know.
The writing is incredible, the art is spectacular. My favourite comic right now. Hands down.
"Glasgow Kiss," the first RED THORN epic, comes to an end-and nothing in this world will ever be the same again. In our nerve-shredding finale, you'll discover the nature of Thorn's grand plan, and truly understand the many reasons for his rage. But in the end, there's only one question that counts: can Isla possibly survive this, her greatest tria...

Amazing. Just amazing.
Red Cap Franint meets her newest admirers, and Thorn meets the God of Lost Faith. Isla and Tarek decide to work together and we get a look inside one of Belatucadross Upstart Gods. Glasgow has never looked better.
SpiderManNews reviewed Red Thorn #4 Feb 17, 2016
Another fantastic issue. The art is glorious and the characters are all hilarious, while telling a serious story.
Hands down - this is my favourite comic right now.
Hope it keeps it up!!!

SpiderManNews reviewed Call of Duty: Black Ops III #3 Jan 22, 2016
Very good. I do like Larry Hama - I was scared he might be too old to still write good action, but this totally works.
Intel links enemy agent the Red Witch to a local warlord in Mogadishu, Somalia . . . To take them out, Taylor, Hendricks, and the team will have to blow through a heavy fortress surrounded by fanatical guards. Bullets fly in the official prequel to the upcoming game Call of Duty®: Black Ops III!
SpiderManNews reviewed Uncanny Inhumans #4 Jan 22, 2016
Not my favourite issue, but the art is very nice.
• The titanic first arc comes to its conclusion as Kang's final salvo hits the Inhumans!
• Can Medusa, Black Bolt, The Human Torch, Beast and the rest stand up to the Time-Lord?
• You will not see this ending coming!
Rated T+

F*cking amazing. I don't want to spoil who shows up but... why.
Not how I expected **** **** ******* to look!
If you're not reading this comic, then you're doing it all wrong.
Thorn and Isla travel to Morocco to meet Tarek, a young boy whos been drawing maps his whole lifemaps of a realm that doesnt seem to exist. We also introduce the fiercest Redcap of all: Franint, whose hobbies include murder, being angry and more murder. And you wont believe which long-time Celtic celebrity turns out to be an old flame of Thorns.

Full frontal sexy God. This is my favourite comic and NO ONE can take it away from me.
Great writing, great art, great cover, great lettering, great colours.
My only complaint is... No - I'm only joking. No complaints at all.
10/10
Its Halloween night, and something wicked and powerful is stirring beneath the streets of Glasgow. Join Isla on the day she meets a bloodthirsty army she thought was a myth and breaks the heart of the only man she ever loved. Innocents are slaughtered, a demigod is crowned king, and history is rewritten in the second issue of this new series!
