Though not quite as pretty as Tooth & Claw #2, with its wonderful recreation of the natural world around it Though certain retailers in[...]

From Super Secret Crisis War #6. Also with Sleepy Hollow #2, shorter monologues means shorter stories! Get with the programme! But where do these stories come from? Storyteller: Witches #3 there, though I'm not sure if the dog would capture all the finer point of Joyce's Ulysses. Crossed: Badlands has its Terminator 2 moment Not quite "come with[...]

No wonder they don't see the dangers, just annoyances… they should have read Original Sin to see how a word can take down a god. Because , in the Phantom, it's just what others think of you that counts. Uber revisits an observed flaw in Robert Morales and Kyle Baker's series Truth, asking if a nineteen[...]

Though it also reveals that the cast have run out of swear words now and are just having to make up new ones from component parts.   That'll be in the Oxford English Dictionary next year. They're simlarly arseholes-for-eyes obsessed in Squidder as well, from Ben Templesmith. Crossed: Badlands just goes as far as it possibly can. Until Original Sin[...]

And sea foam that is more alive than anyone else in this scene, gripping to the rocks…. Okay, you are on an abandoned moors at night, someone starts ringing a bell, even Abe Sapien should know enough to get the fuck out of there.

Except this week things are a little toned down… the Crossed are a little more playful with their language in the Crossed Annual. As well as the punchline depending on how familiar you are with the output of the Worzels. Even Gravel jumps from the sweary to the precise magical terminology, moving from one sphere of influence[...]

Oh and also, they do a much better job than the NSA. Crossed Badlands #51 gives us Gordon Brown dealing with the outbreak of Crossed Do you think he'll do a good job, little children? Or will the destruction of humanity be down to his lack of decision making process? Not that he'd ever think he[...]
