Paul Grist has announced that he has begun work on a new series of Kane, and twenty years after the last series finished,  it looks like it may be the final one, with the title "This Is How It Ends". Paul Grist has been promising new Kane comic books for quite a while, but now he's[...]

Today sees the publication of The Union #2, the second issue in the United-Kingdom set-and-themed comic book by Paul Grist and Andrea Di Vito, published by Marvel Comics And it's the first issue published after Brexit was all finalised Something some comic book stores are having difficulty with – especially those outside the UK Such[...]

And you get to decide which is which.

As is traditional, the sun has set over Empyre, but The Union goes on, written by Paul Grist who gave us Burglar Bill, Kane, Jack Staff and Mudman, with Italian artist Andrea Di Vito, and now, definitely, coming out in December And it may no longer be an Empyre tie-in, but it is now a[...]

Really Marvel? You wait until gone 10pm in the UK before unveiling in full the new British Marvel superteam, The Union, from Paul Grist and Andrea Di Vito? Fair enough… at least Bleeding Cool got to tease it Once upon a time, Paul Grist pitched a Union Jack story Marvel rejected it, so he turned[...]

That of the self-publishing boom. A few weeks ago, we reported on the return of Strangehaven by Gary Spencer Millidge from Soaring Penguin Press. Yesterday, we learnt that Image Comics was bringing David Lapham's Stray Bullets back in March (with a $60 collected volume, to boot). So what's next? @notbbcnews24 @Sadpad21 @ImageComics @DavidALapham @millidge funny you should mention that… —[...]

They were meant to be Jack Staff by Paul Grist, Madman by Mike Allred, Battlestone by Marat Mychaels and Pitt by Dale Keown But the book never happened And neither did the cover. Until now.

Yesterday, Image Comics published Mudman, a new superhero comic book by Paul Grist. And I thought it was out of this world In a very in-this-world sort of way.

The DFC was an exception, but one that fared poorly. The girls' comic in the UK is a much missed genre, where the likes of everyone from Pat Mills to Paul Grist honed their skills, and made for a femal comics reading generation that were seemingly abandoned. CLiNT Magazine will be featured on BBC's Newsnight Review tonight[...]
