Dceased: Unkillables #1 ★★★★½
So much action movie fun from a wildly different perspective on this Elseworld’s apocalypse. Karl Mostert’s art is a draw in itself! Continue reading Dceased: Unkillables #1 ★★★★½

John Constantine: Hellblazer #7 ★★★★★
Si Spurrier, Aaron Campbell and Jordie Bellaire tell a grimy, Eisner quality tale about an English fisherman and a mermaid. It’s politically timely, yet timeless in its condemnation of small people with a bit of power. Awesome stuff. Continue reading John Constantine: Hellblazer #7 ★★★★★
Lords of Empyre: Emperor Hulkling ★★★★½
Marvel’s gayest book I can remember is also the most literary. Teddy’s heart makes him the greatest hero of all, it’s not just his enormous arms! Continue reading Lords of Empyre: Emperor Hulkling ★★★★½
Dceased: Dead Planet #1 ★★★★★
Taylor & Hairsine’s zombie DCU is far more interesting than the main one. There’s horror here, heart and the voices for the established heroes are flawless. Wait for the shocker. Continue reading Dceased: Dead Planet #1 ★★★★★
John Constantine: Hellblazer (2019-) #6 ★★★★★
Si Spurrier takes us on a quick side step through Britain’s current flirtation with hate. It’s uncomfortable, yet perfectly drawn and has incisive points to make. Continue reading John Constantine: Hellblazer (2019-) #6 ★★★★★
X-Men (2019-) #9 ★★★★
Hickman’s X-Men isn’t short on big ideas, but there’s also no room for character moments to service the drama. Great to see the Shi’ar again though & loving what Hickman’s doing with the Brood. Continue reading X-Men (2019-) #9 ★★★★
Lois Lane #11 ★★★½
It looks good but I don’t see how this is a Lois book. It’s a Renee Montoya book in all but name, and doesn’t even reference the 13 year old continuity it’s connected to. Continue reading Lois Lane #11 ★★★½
That Texas Blood #1 ★★★★½
Razor sharp comics storytelling by Condon and the younger Phillips, showing a new angle on crime noir, and some of the best art and colouring you’ll ever see. Continue reading That Texas Blood #1 ★★★★½
Strange Adventures #2
A delightfully claustrophobic read, as Mr Terrific decides Adam Strange is lying. Masterful comics storytelling by three greats, beautiful art and a story with something to say. Continue reading Strange Adventures #2
Lois Lane #10
The crime noir element still works delightfully well, and Rucka’s musings about journalism are poignant. The multiversal subplot remains perplexing and feels like a distraction. Continue reading Lois Lane #10
