Seems like there’s a few people coming here searching for a list for the best graphic novels of 2005, so I’ll try and bring these things up. Originally I thought this was going to be an easy list to compile as I’ve actually read a slew of books that were actually published last year, however [...]
Remember when comic books were fun? You know what I’m talking about. When you’d pick up a book and go through it, you’d laugh, you’d get sad, you’d drool over the artwork, the connect with the characters. You’d invest some time with these characters that they even seemed more real to you. You don’t remember? [...]
Every week I review the newest graphic novel releases as detailed on the Diamond Comics website. Last one of the year. I’m in Greece at the moment however I’ll be picking some of these up in a heartbeat when I get back to the UK.
What I will mention is the fact that there are [...]
Lost of exciting things going to be happening to Splash Panel in the new year. One of the major ideas I have for Splash Panel in the new year is for daily updates. The idea being that you know that there will be a new update on the site every single day, except Saturday and [...]

I will be buying Previews from now [...]
I’ve not been to the comic book store in something like 3 weeks, so yesterday was actually the first time in a while. Even though I’m buying more of my stuff online (hey I do get a discount online compared to this full price malarkey). However having said that there are a couple of things [...]
