When I say that you should buy something, please understand I say that in full knowledge that the prices of comics are just flat out wrong. I'm talking to the select few with enough disposable income to actually pay $3.99 for ~20 pages, often less.
Anyway, me? I'm a generally affable chap, happy to shoot it over a pint of proper beer (that's ale to some), I read basically anything, but I've found I'm now finally learning to love the small press / self-published scene a little more, even though I'm a relative newcomer to it (10y).
Wired Up Wrong by Rachael Smith might just be my book of the year, perhaps for the wrong reasons (I'm laughing at someone's depression!) — but since when have reasons been important? [rwp-review-recap id="0"] There's a warning at the start of this book, so I'll put a warning here: I liked this book so much, […]
Black Bolt #8 is a great jumping-on point from Saladin Ahmed and Christian Ward, and if it has, how has this book passed you by? Today marks the release of both this and the collection (Hard Time) of issues one through six, and hopefully this issue will make you go back and buy that if […]
To be short, because you'll want me to be: if you have kids, Bolivar should be bought. To be long, if you are a human being with young humans that you look after and care for there is a children's comic book by Sean Rubin published by Archaia called Bolivar, and it really should become a purchase that you make […]
All-New Wolverine #26 had me questioning it for a hot second, but it quickly won me around through some solid feels. [rwp-review-recap id="0"] Last issue, there was a studious lesson on Daken, Murumasa, and their secret, shielded history. There was also a weirdly silent Jonathan, some outstanding colour work from Nolan Woodard, and… Laura's mother! […]
[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Total War: Warhammer 2 is not a good game — it is a bloody good game, and I mean that in its purest sense. The game has stakes, my decisions matter, the world could change, races could die (OK, that already existed), but most importantly… I could lose. The game adds four new […]
[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Knights of the Golden Sun is Mark London and Mauricio Villarreal's new comic about the Angels (knights) of heaven (the golden sun) fighting Lucifer, Death, and the fallen. That matter-of-fact description is about it, to be fair. This is a narratively confusing first issue, which is why I find hard to recommend anyone […]
[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Dan Dare should be one of the great ongoing comic strips, like Judge Dredd, Tex, Dick Tracy, Dennis the Menace (both versions), and more. But it just hasn't happened (a whole 'nother story). So it falls to Titan (after Virgin Comics before them) to do their (super effective) IP management magic and make […]
Oni Press has added a swath of extra stuff to their lineup for this year's New York Comic Con, including Pickle Rick pins… PICKLE RICK! Last month, Oni let us know about all the things, stuff, and creators that are going to be at their booth (#2028) this year — and they've decided to imbue […]
I went to the The 100 panel (the the, great band) today for Bleeding Cool, and I'm relatively sad to say that it was a little bit vapid. Actually, it turned out that the 100 was a panel that was the first of two exercises in collective naval gazing and collective celebrity back patting that, whilst funny, really […]
Conner Huglin, zonC, has been banned by ESIC (the esports Integrity Coalition) for cheating in a competition match of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO). Huglin, once a member of Armor Legion Gaming, has been banished from all esports for 2 years from 10 May 2017 to 9 May 2019. The Mettlestate Samsung Galaxy CS:GO Championship incident occurred early May, […]
EDIT – THIS ARTICLE WAS BY KAITLYN, I'VE CHANGED THE AUTHOR TO SATE RATINGS ISSUES [rwp-review-recap id="0"] Bleeding Cool has a host of nerds that love to talk about movies, comics, and the like. We wanted to give everyone an opportunity to let their opinion be heard for this Marvel sequel. Here are brief reviews from […]
The 2017 Cannes Jury has been announced and it has both words and letters in it that mention the names of people. Being an esteemed executive producer that has taken a short film to said festival, I thought it best that this news come from me. Here's the Cannes announcement: Under the presidency of the Spanish […]
