Green Lantern | Rebirth

Thursday, March 23rd, 2006

File this one for the fanboys (of which I’m a complete and proud member of that particular group). This book is one drenched in continuity however COMPLETELY accessible to the outsider which hopefully will make more sense as this review comes along. However I’ll first give a brief introduction to the extent of my knowledge [...]

Strange

Sunday, March 19th, 2006

It’s been a good long while since I reviewed a Marvel book. To be honest I’ve not been all that enthused by most of their offerings of late. There are a couple of books I’ve got on my radar to buy, however the graphic novel landscape is open to a lot more. However every once [...]

GN Release – 15th March 2006

Tuesday, March 14th, 2006

Another pretty slow week for the new MUST HAVE graphic novels of the week. Just as well since it allows me to concentrate on a few other books I’ve got to read first. I’ve been slicing through a lot of them which is great, so expect a few more reviews in the not to distant [...]

Authority | Revolution | Volume 2

Sunday, March 12th, 2006

Without a doubt that is the single best Authority story I’ve had the pleasure of reading since Warren Ellis wrote his 12 issues of pop thrill package. What makes it all different however is that Brubaker cleverly decided to step away from the established 4 issue story arcs where things blew up more and exploded [...]

GN Release – 8th March 2006

Saturday, March 11th, 2006

Wow, 50th post already. See if this was the mid-90s then I’d be releasing this post as a foil cover hologram special edition post…okay enough of the in jokes (to those who don’t know what I’m talking about, don’t worry you didn’t miss much). Back to our regular slot of the week to see what [...]

Authority | Revolution | Volume 1

Tuesday, March 7th, 2006

In preparation for the release of Volume 2 of the Authority storyline this week, I’m going to reprint the original review I did on Broken Kode regarding the first volume. Expect the review for the second volume here later on this week.
It’s been a while since I read a proper Authority story. Last time it [...]

Blacksad -Somewhere Within the Shadows

Saturday, March 4th, 2006

Blacksad is probably one of , if not the very best anthropomorphic graphic novels currently on the stands, if ever published. I know this might sound like hyperbole, but in this case it would be a fact. Not trying to pigeon hole it or anything I’ll even go a little further and say that it’s [...]

GN Release – 1st March 2006

Wednesday, March 1st, 2006

Yes I know, not been very good in terms of keeping new reviews coming through but to be fair I have been completely busy the last few weeks, which is just as well. However 8 posts in one month is pretty abismal as I’ve got FAR too many reviews to get on with. I’ll be [...]

Celebrating the artform of sequential storytelling with a spine!
