The Amazing Spider-Man #7 (Comics Review)
The last five months have seen some big changes happening to one of Marvel’s longest-running titles. Following on from the end of Dan Slott’s game-changing Superior Spider-Man, the flagship Spidey title The Amazing Spider-Man was relaunched with the return of Peter Parker and we’ve seen the hero go through some major stuff of late, whether […]
X-O Manowar #0 (Comics Review)
Valiant’s X-O Manowar series wasn’t on my radar until the publisher launched its Unity team-book last year. I’d seen some stuff here and there and heard that it was a great title, but I never really got the chance to pick up an issue and read it, not until recently at any rate, when I read […]
Hexed #3 (Comics Review)
Boom Studios’ Hexed, from Michael Alan Nelson and Dan Mora is one of the best new comics on shelves right now, and with good reason. It stars three incredible female character who are awesome in all sorts of ways, particularly the protagonist Lucifer, and it also has a really cool premise the likes of which […]
New Suicide Squad #2-3 (Comics Review)
When DC relaunched Suicide Squad as New Suicide Squad in July this year, I was equal parts excited and apprehensive about it since my experience with the first volume of the title’s New 52 launch wasn’t all that positive. But then I read the first issue, and it proved to be really good in a […]

John Golden: Heroes of Mazaroth by Django Wexler (Novella Review)
I started reading Django Wexler earlier this year and he has quickly become one of my favourite authors to read, thanks to his first fantasy novel, The Thousand Names and his cyberpunk-urban fantasy novella John Golden: Freelance Debugger. The latter is about a tech-guy named John Golden who pulls out pixies and other urban fantasy […]
The Flash Season Zero #3 (Comics Review)
CW’s third superhero property to-date, The Flash, kicked off this week to great fanfare as Barry Allen aka The Flash returned to television after a very, very long hiatus. It was certainly an excellent episode, made better by the fact that we are continuing to see some great side-stories in the companion comic, The Flash: […]
Sensation Comics #9 (Comics Review)
The most recent “arc” of Sensation Comics Featuring Wonder Woman has dealt with some rather cartoony things, whether that be the story itself, or the art, with the latter being much more prominent. Sensation Comics #7 wasn’t exactly a good issue, as far as I’m concerned, but the following Sensation Comics #8 was indeed quite […]

Horus Heresy: Brotherhood of the Storm by Chris Wraight (Novella Review)
The White Scars are one of the Legiones Astartes that many fans of the Horus Heresy have been wanting to see in the series of the same name since the earliest days. One of the most mysterious chapters, and Legions, the White Scars haven’t received much attention from the writers at Black Library, though there […]

Death Vigil #4 (Comics Review)
Stjepan Sejic’s Death Vigil has been one of the most fun new comics to come out this year, by far and it is also a comic that I absolutely love. Characters or story or art, Death Vigil is like a masterclass in storytelling in comics, and it is something that everyone should be reading. In […]

Sabrina #1 (Comics Review)
Sabrina the Teenage Witch has been a big part of the Archie-verse over the years, even going so far as to get its own live-action television series or an animated series or the vast number of prose novels or what have you. Last year, we got to see a very different version of Sabrina than […]
