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 ★★★★★
Normal Life Under Major Homicide
The British PM wants his fans to believe ‘normality’ will resume for Christmas. It’s the biggest lie he’s ever attempted. Continue reading Normal Life Under Major Homicide
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
Hellblazer (2019-) #5
Si Spurrier delivers classic Hellblazer. John is a complete bastard but you can’t keep your eyes off him and the art is insanely good. Continue reading Hellblazer (2019-) #5
