American Born Chinese

I’ve been living in a bit of a bubble these past few years with respect to my comic book reading habits. I tend to read books that I hear about on websites and what I see on the shelf in front of me at the store. The problem is that this is limiting somewhat and […]

Splash Panel Podcast Episode 02

Week 2 of the Splash Panel podcast. This week I discuss Brian Michael Bendis and Ed Brubaker and their past and recent projects. What works for me what doesn’t. Also I give an angry little rant at the leeches over at Titan Comics.

Splash Panel Podcast Episode 01

Not a review but the first ever Splash Panel podcast. I expect to do this once a week on a Sunday evening. It’s a long time coming and something I’ve been meaning to do for a good long while, however I’ve not had the drive and the motivation until now, but enough of this writing […]

Best Graphic Novels of 2006

When I started writing last year’s list I did actually struggle to find that top 10 definitive list of graphic novels that truly stood out this year; we’ve had some absolute stonking contributions that deserve your attention, however it definitely didn’t feel as vibrant as that of last year. I guess the proof is in […]

Pedro and Me

So I’m sitting at home in Greece, looking at my book shelf which still houses a major section of my collection here. A lot of my classic graphic novels still live here, I noticed a gem I’ve not read in nearly 6 years. It’s really strange but the book that made me notice Judd Winick […]
