GN Release - 16th of August 2006

By Khaled Abou Alfa ⋅ August 15, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

I was actually sitting here wondering why the hell I’ve not been feeling very connected to the world of graphic novels, and then I realised that my routine look at what’s going on in the world of comics had come to a pretty much a stop. It’s nothing personal, just lots of things going on […]

Alex Ross Interview

By Khaled Abou Alfa ⋅ May 10, 2006 ⋅ One comment

Just thought I’d point out this excellent interview with Alex Ross regarding the latest Absolute Kingdom Come hardcover from DC Comics. I’ve got incredibly fond memories of that series and I will be reviewing that seminal mini-series at some point in time. I know I’ve been pretty quiet lately with this website however that’s mainly […]

I’m just going to post the covers to the trades that really caught my attention. Hopefully a more meaningful discussion regarding the latest Previews will be forthcoming, however I’m not going to promise anything, enjoy.

Reimagining the Wildstorm Universe

By Khaled Abou Alfa ⋅ February 9, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

I just finished reading the excellent interview on Newsarama with Scott Dunbier, Executive Editor at Wildstorm. Many people growing up remember Spider-man or Superman as their hero of choice. The character they grew up reading and therefore finding a great attachement to.

Creative Voices

I’ve been reading comic books since I was a wee lad. Until I started reading superhero comics when I was around 13 or 14 years old I didn’t actually put two and two together regarding the people behind comic books and the illustrations. That there was someone behind the story, the pencils and the inks, […]

By Khaled Abou Alfa ⋅ December 30, 2005 ⋅ 3 comments

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 […]

Browsing Image

By Khaled Abou Alfa ⋅ December 18, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

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 […]

Why Graphic Novels

By Khaled Abou Alfa ⋅ December 5, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

I was going to put all this information in the about section, but the more I thought about it the more I realised that it’s actually pretty important to flesh these ideas out and present them in a more complete and coherent fashion. Therefore I created a new category which I’ll be peppering with opinions […]

Superman All Star

By Khaled Abou Alfa ⋅ November 30, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

Even though SplashPanel is (will be) a site dedicated to the Graphic Novel, every once in a while, and it’s pretty rare I assure you, I’ll buy a monthly pamphlet as a taster of things to come. Sometimes it’s because I’m pretty excited about the actual story, other times it’s simply because it’s truely […]
