Arrow Season 2.5 #1 (Comics Review)
Something amazing happened back in 2012. DC Entertainment rolled out its first superhero television show in ages, partnering once again with CW. Starring Oliver Queen aka Green Arrow, Arrow quickly went on to become a mainstream hit, and in an age where superheroes are ruling the box office globally, it came in at the right […]
News: Shotguns & Sorcery RPG!
Back in 2012, it was sort of a Matt Forbeck year for me, given how many of his novels, and even comics, I read that year. Matt quickly became one of my favourite authors, and even a writing inspiration given how much of a workload he took on that year in terms of novel-writing, and […]

Future’s End: Green Lantern and Phantom Stranger (Comics Review)
As usual for DC by now, September is the publisher’s big month of doing one-shots. In 2012 it was the origin issues #0 for all the titles. In 2013 it was Villain’s Month as the top-selling titles all got villainous one-shots. In 2014 it is Future’s End as all the titles step 5 years forwards […]
Future’s End: Grayson and Green Arrow (Comics Review)
September is the month when all DC ongoing titles take a 5-year leap forward into the time of Future’s End, the currently weekly comic that is being written by Jeff Lemire, Keith Giffen, Brian Azzarello and Dan Jurgens. It is a future in which Terry McGinnis aka Batman Beyond has traveled back in time to […]
Censure and Honour To The Dead (Audio Review)
I’ve remarked before how strong Black Library’s audio range is for its flagship Horus Heresy series. The successes have been many, the not-successes very, very few. And that’s just the way I like it. Both Big Finish and Heavy Entertainment have done a great job with the voice-actors they’ve brought to the various stories, penned […]

The Death of Wolverine #1 (Comics Review)
Sometime ago, Wolverine ended up losing his healing factor. That was most certainly not good news. Not for Logan. Not for his closest friends, or the other friends and allies. Not for the world. For a good while now, the character has endured without his greatest ability, and various comics have pointed this out. Most […]
Original Sin #8 (Comics Review)
The grand finale is here. The moment that we’ve all been waiting for, it is here, finally. At this point, there really isn’t much that I can say about this title. Almost four months of mysteries, backstabbings, betrayals, revelations, and now it all comes to an end. All the seeds that Jason Aaron has sown […]
Comics Picks For 27.08.2014
Getting back into the groove of comics reading I might be, but I’m still struggling with getting around to graphic novels/trade paperback collections, and that’s something I really regret. Every month that pile gets higher and higher with no end in sight and it kind of depresses me. But there’s so much new material to […]

Sensation Comics #3 (Comics Review)
Last week Gail Simone and Ethan Van Sciver wrapped up their 2-part arc “Gothamazon” on Sensation Comics Featuring Wonder Woman where they showed how Wonder Woman would tackle Gotham’s various villains and anti-heroes in place of Batman. It was a really fun arc with some of Gail’s best writing that showed off a Wonder Woman who […]
Original Sin: Thor and Loki #2-4 (Comics Review)
Marvel’s Original Sin event is coming to a close imminently, with the final issue of the main event series landing tomorrow I believe. Or next week at the latest. This has been a most fun event, especially once you delve into many of the tie-ins and the crossovers that have resulted, such as the story arcs […]
