Tommy Gun Wizards, the new series from Christian Ward and Sami Kivelä published by Dark Horse is going to Final Order Cut-Off today. This is Christian Ward's first comic as writer, and Dark Horse Comics – who will be making the first two issues fully refundable. Christian is also colouring the comic with Dee Cunniffe, […]
Dark Horse Comics came to Diamond's Retail Summit, held in Las Vegas this weekend, to promote their upcoming politics to comic book retailers across the USA – and beyond. Dark Horse has the comic book license to the web TV series Critical Role in which a group of professional voice actors play Dungeons & Dragons. […]
Have you ever looked at a new comic, drawn to the dynamic cover, and been compelled to buy it, only to face massive disappointment when you take a look inside? That's not going to happen with Invisible Kingdom. While the cover gives nothing away, it is a great taste of the beautiful book that lies […]
Thor is searching for the powerful artifacts spread across the globe when Asgardia exploded. This search has led him to a temple devoted to the rage demon Cytorrak in Thailand. Consequently, this has put him in the path of the Unstoppable Juggernaut, and Thor's new hammer is not yet ready. In the follow-up story set […]
It's time for that weekend round-up where we arbitrarily decide what was a comic book win or a loss for the week of April 4th, 2018. I'm struggling to come up with more of a build-up to the list, so let's just get to it! Win: Yes, Maybe I Will Just Marry Christopher Priest's Justice […]
Ahura and Blinky arrive in Black Bolt's memories, as the Jailer uses Blackagar's memories of his own father to torment the Midnight King. Elsewhere, Titania and the Absorbing Man reunite, and Titania tells Crusher what is happening with Black Bolt and the Jailer. The two decide to go help "Old Wishbone," using Lockjaw to get […]
It's time for that time-honored tradition of a doofy guy with pretensions of being an expert on the subject telling you what comics you should look for at your comic shop this week. That's right, it's time to figure out what comics should go in your pull box on April 4th, 2018. For the full […]
The Absorbing Man is dead, and Black Bolt and Blinky have to tell Titania that her husband is gone. Understandably, she is devastated, and Black Bolt and Blinky help her put a funeral together for Carl "Crusher" Creel. Unfortunately, some otherwise welcome people may ruin the procession. This is one of the most heartfelt comics […]
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 […]
Black Bolt #5 continues the quirky, wonderful and different comic series, as Black Bolt, freed of the prison that has tormented him since the start by his faithful hound Lockjaw, has to decide does he run, or does he save the despots and thugs that have become his friends inside. And this is why this […]
Through happenstance, it looks like Joe Glass and I will be having dueling reviews again, even though we have similar feelings on this comic, too. Black Bolt, the former King of the Inhumans, has been trapped in an intergalactic prison thanks to the deceptions of his brother, Maximus the Mad. He has been unable to escape this […]
Oh what an interesting little series Black Bolt is. Black Bolt #4 from Marvel by Saladin Ahmed and Christian Ward has thus far been something so unlike a lot of what Marvel puts out at the moment, and it's really the same story with this issue. A wonderfully quirky tale celebrating the beauty of life […]
Yesterday, the comic book industry changed and will never be the same again, but some publishers haven't gotten the memo. Black Mask has released a preview for Beautiful Canvas, the new series written by Ryan K. Lindsay, drawn by Sami Kivela, colored by Triona Farrell, lettered by Ryan Ferrier, and with an alternate cover by […]
Whilst we've known since the early days of ResurrXion marketing that Black Bolt would see the titular character in an intergalactic prison, the reason for his incarceration was unclear. And no, he's not a Nazi. Similarly, it may have left readers wondering where Black Bolt's series, by Saladin Ahmed and Christian Ward, fits in with […]
Futurists artist Mitch Breitweiser is known for drawing the Star Spangled Avenger, but it was an artistic tribute to a different sort of American icon that caused him sorrow on social media this week. Following the election victory of Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton, Breitweiser made the following tweet, congratulating Trump on the win and wishing him success: Congratulations […]
I once bought a bunch of the DC Comics Elseworld Eighty Page Giant. They paid for a new bathroom. Well, Christian Ward is doing it the harder way. He writes, Bad news: We've had a bathroom emergency (which sounds like a particular bad bowel movement) so we're looking at big bill to sort it out. […]
It's my gaff. My manor. My part of the world. The London Super Comic Con, the largest comic convention in the UK that's dedicated to comic books, is happening next weekend at the ExCel Centre. Bob Layton once told me that he earned more money at that show than any other. It's where the wallets […]
This weekend we're looking at the Gold Key revival that Dynamite Entertainment did recently. One of the things that stood out among the series were the covers and here we have a small gallery of cover by artist Christian Ward for the Doctor Spektor series. We get to see the covers in all their glory, […]
We broke the story back in 2013, that Ales Kot was working on a new graphic novella about an Islamic transgender pop star, called Anti-Star. We later learned that it would be with Christian Ward. Well, it's just hit Amazon. Dropping the hyphen, from Image Comics and scheduled for January. Available for order here in the US […]
