The first proper content on this site in a while and a slight shift in the way I will be reviewing graphic novels you can now download the enhanced Splash Panel podcast. Hopefully these will come out as a minimum of once a week, however if I get into the groove and am really firing […]

DMZ | Volume 1 | On the Ground

By Khaled Abou Alfa ⋅ February 13, 2007 ⋅ One comment

I’ve got to say that this book took me over 6 months to get around to reading. This wasn’t because I was excited about reading it, this wasn’t because I had better things to read (as you’ll understand from the review) but it was mainly because the story content hits far too close to home […]

Kabuki Daily

By Khaled Abou Alfa ⋅ August 21, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

I’ve spoken about the purely sublime series Kabuki when I reviewed Circle of Blood. Now you can start reading this series on a daily basis for free. That’s a pretty good deal if you ask me for one of the best stories ever written (by a 21 year old David Mack, no less). You’ve seriously […]

Ex Machina | The First Hunderd Days

Originally it was released by Image Comics […]

V for Vendetta

Little can be said that hasn’t already been said about the genius that is Alan Moore. The reason why the man occupies such an amazing place in the minds of people who have read graphic novels can be attributed to the fact that his body of work spans across several genres and each one of […]

The Losers | Ante Up

By Khaled Abou Alfa ⋅ December 4, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

Before I get into the review of this book I just wanted to make an observation regarding the nature of graphic novels and the creators behind them. It’s such a small tight nit community that it’s completely normal for the readers to interact with the creators online as soon as they’ve read and devoured the […]
