Oh and look, Negan's out…. INJECTION #1 story: WARREN ELLIS art / covers A & B: DECLAN SHALVEY & JORDIE BELLAIRE […]
Bitch Planet #1 asks the important question in comic books today. It also happens to lead off with a great pull back and reveal that's reminiscent of the beginning of the first episode of Spaced. It works a treat… While Prometheus: Fire And Stone gives you the best advice you'll ever get instead. Aside from "nuke them […]
Well, X-Files Year Zero, I just bought some comic books. Let's see what's going on? Well, we seem to have another confluence between Marvel and DC, with the Justice League and the Fantastic Four looking at the good guys and the bad guys teaming up to change the world for the better. First, we have […]

From the opening issue of the new Batman weekly, Batman Eternal. Say, is it just me or is one of the bad guys here giving quite a good impression of Spider Jerusalem? While Gotham again establishes itself as a place not to bring up kids. First the Court Of The Owls nursery rhyme, then a […]
This is Adam Baldwin. Off of Firefly. He doesn't always wear the hat. Not related to the other Baldwins, he is a registered Democrat since 1980, but changed his political views after being given a copy of David Horowitz's book Radical Son and now considers himself a "small government conservative libertarian", and has written for […]
Another run around the week's comics, published in time to maybe tempt you into adding one or more titles onto this week's stack. Gratuitous spoilers are avoided, no final pages here, though there may be some examples you may have preferred to read in context. Consider this a taster's menu and if you do come […]
Okay, I've taken the kids to school, and popped into town for this week's comics and settled down at the Waterstone's Piccadilly fifth floor with its generous wi-fi and power points to have a look at this weeks comics. Yes, Ghosted #6, I had enough of that this morning. Still, they'll be happy enough when […]
Another week, another lovely pile of comics. We've already looked at Villain's Month and Infinity books, but what else is kicking around today? So… Deadpool no longer thinks he's in a comic book? It's a sad, sad future in Uncanny X-Men. By the way, do who have any confirmation on which Jean Grey, the Jean […]
Another week, another lot of lovely comics to look through. So what's been taking my eye? In Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season Nine today, Willow gets a mystical lesson in the facts of life. I'm not sure exactly what the expression is though. Happiness? Confusion? Or, jusdging from the wisps of smoke, baked off her […]
The Darkness decides to tell the its story through action figures. Robot Chicken Darkness? Sexual relationships are expressed in a number of ways through comic books today, some more obvious than others. Ghosted #1 also plays fast and loose with sexual politics, with a heist team being put together to steal… a ghost. And be […]
While we await casting news, or really any news at all, on the TV version of Peter Panzerfaust, Image have pressed ahead and added some talent to their motion comics version.
It must be a real arse to argue with Luke Skywalker when he pulls lines like this one from Star Wars #3 on you. Arguing about the contents of the fridge probably go the same way. "Who ate the last sausage? Luke???" "I was hungry, you know, after taking on the Death Star for […]
One again we check in on the week's reorders from retailers trying to increase the amount of certain comics they'll be stocking, before they are publication. As ever high end items, second prints and variants are overexaggerated in the chart, but standard Marvel NOW titles take the top of the chart, with Peter Panzerfaust #10 […]
Andrew Mertes writes; The All-New X-Men looks like a clear winner this week, topping the sales charts of many nations. The price point of the Injustice series looks to be pushing it into the tops of the charts all over the globe. Greece has finally discovered that WE ARE THE WALKING DEAD, as Kirkman's book […]

Bleeding Cool Magazine article by Rich Johnston. It's a standard trope that movies don't affect the sales of comics, but I don't know if that's so true anymore. We may not get the level of Batmania of the late eighties, but the likes of Watchmen, Walking Dead and Scott Pilgrim did very well indeed as […]
Kurtis Wiebe at the Image Comics Panel just made an interesting surprise announcement. QT Digital and BBC Worldwide are to produce a fully voiced motion comic of his Image Comics series, Peter Panzerfaust, which retells the story of Peter Pan during the Second World War. With the plan to then turn it into a BBC […]
Journey Into Mystery, while being one of Marvel's most entertaining comics full stop, has spectacular recap pages. Rather than present a series of panels to show what went on in previous issues, we get the plot narrated by a variety of characters. In today's issue? Cadaver Thor. Look I know there's no chance of a […]
Peter Panzerfaust. Issue Two. Second print on it's way. Second print of issue one will come out with the first print of issue two. Second print of issue two will come out on the same day as the first print of issue three. Who knows, maybe with the third print of issue one by then. […]
