I love comics. You love comics. We all love comics.

Graphic Novels of the Year 2015

4 January 202217 February 2016 by Lewis Mills

Star Wars: The Force Awakens © LucasFilm/Disney Every New Year you always pray that it doesn’t get any worse than the previous one. For me, 2015 proved the non-existence of God or that He just didn’t like the virgin comic book readers that were offered up. Plus, the wife and myself must be some of … Read more

300: A Review from Darcy

2 January 202227 February 2007 by Sarah

So, about a week ago I and Sarah found ourselves in the new Apollo cinema on Regent Street, about to see one of the first showings of 300 in the country. I don’t usually recommend films. My taste is not the same as everyone else’s, but DAMN! Go and see this film. Its one of … Read more

Okay, I promise the next post I make will have some artwork in. I just felt the need to say something about what I think of this game so far. First off. Damn it’s pretty, with reservations. The characters look beautiful, and are well animated. Weaponry, armour and clothing all looks absolutely top notch. Where … Read more

Round and Round and Round

2 January 20223 August 2005 by Lewis Mills

With all that has happened in London in the last couple of weeks Will Eisner’s last work has gained a kind of relevance that he did not intend- it does after all deal with a specific theme- but sharpens into focus how humanity, for all its advances, still has an intense suspicion and dislike for … Read more

What Becomes of the Broken Hearted

2 January 20229 February 2005 by Lewis Mills

Now and then, I get asked why I don’t review any actual comics on the site, just graphics. The main reason for this is that I believe it to be unfair on the book, the creators and publishing house to either praise or berate one issue of what could possibly be a successful long-running saga … Read more

Starlight, Starbright

2 January 20225 November 2004 by Lewis Mills

Whilst preparing to write this review, the death of Christopher Reeve appeared in the news. It was sad moment in my life for me and yet, strangely fortunate in that it made this review more relevant to the premise and idea of the hero. Here was a man who epitomised the very meaning of this … Read more

Any Way the Wind Blows

2 January 202220 July 2004 by Lewis Mills

Old age and all the regrets and musings about life it brings happen to us all. Have no doubt about this. We will grow old and die. This is the natural order of things, and I would not wish for it to be any different. Advances in science and social life may mean that I … Read more

New Worlds

2 January 20225 June 2004 by Lewis Mills

Epic This is a word that should not be bandied around lightly. For such a small word, it can conjure up vast panoramas, lengthy tales of adventure and valour, struggle against over-whelming odds, the very majesty of life and nature itself. Indeed, a word to be used with care. What it does not stand for, … Read more

Never Mind the Width…

A mixed bag this week. So let’s get down to it:- First up is Battle Vixens from Yugi Shiozaki and published by Tokyopop. The tale of Hakufu Sonsaku, a teenage schoolgirl who loves nothing more than a good kick-ass battle. An unwitting member of a mystic sect of warriors (whose ancestors tried to re-unite China, … Read more
