“New Gods” #6

By | Aug 28, 2017 | Reviews

When considering the Fourth World Saga as a whole, one of the purest examples of the messages about love and war, about generational conflict, and of the effects of battle on a person’s body and mind, can be found in “New Gods” #6. It’s famously one of Jack Kirby’s favorite issues, and it’s a personal […]

“Star Wars Doctor Aphra Annual” #1

By | Aug 25, 2017 | Reviews

I must confess, I haven’t been a regular reader of Kieron Gillen’s Doctor Aphra series. That’s one of the things that makes the annual so impressive. With a passing knowledge and enthusiasm for Aphra and her friends, I had no trouble following this one-shot Star Wars adventure. Gillen, along with his art team, take us into the heart of […]

“Generation Gone” #2

By | Aug 24, 2017 | Reviews

Ales Kot has penned some seriously thought provoking indie comics as of late, but none felt as profound or well-executed as the first issue of “Generation Gone”. The idea of hacker-spawned superbeings is such a compelling one, and with André Lima Araújo on artwork, the idea becomes fully realised in beautifully pencilled art. Let’s see […]
