Webcomic Wednesday – MercWorks
Hello and welcome to Webcomic Wednesday! Each week I take a look at a webcomic and let you know what I think about it. This week I take a break from the serious stuff and looking forward to some much … Continue reading
Review: Constantine #1 – Jeff Lemire, Ray Fawkes & Renato Guedes
I was always a huge fan of Hellblazer, and while I eventually fell behind, Vertigo’s longest running series always had a special place on my shelf. With its end last month in issue 300, John Constantine has a new home in the universe … Continue reading
Review: Wolves of Summer #1 – Tony Keaton & Andrew Herbst
When I was a kid I always imagined being a soldier. Many times I’d live out exciting Star Wars fantasies as I fought in my own imaginary battles in a galaxy far, far away. Now being older and wiser I … Continue reading
Review: Myth #1 – Loniewski / Lauer / Dollman
I love a good win-win situation. The comics industry has a long history of releasing issues to raise money for good causes- sometimes the quality of those comics can suffer due to the subject content, but a lot of people … Continue reading
Hoodlum #1 Review – Hilary Goldstein & John Toledo
Most indie comics I have read in the past few years try to start small, with small casts and simple settings. I’m not talking about the large indie titles like Saga or Nowhere Men, but the smaller ones that slip under the radar … Continue reading

Review: Batman “Death of the Family” – Scott Snyder & Greg Capullo
(Note: the Death of the Family arc compiles issues 13-17 of Batman) When I reviewed Batman #13, the first issue of “Death of the Family”, back in December, I posed the question of this arc’s place within the Dark Knight’s story … Continue reading
Review: Faction Anthology #1 – Various Creators
There’s no shortage of crowd funded comics projects around, but I love seeing the quality finished products, particularly local ones. Faction is such a beast – edited by New Zealanders Damon Keen and Amie Maxwell, its a collection of work … Continue reading

Review: Daredevil End of Days – Bendis/Janson et al
I’m late, so late. It was only because I had the opportunity to actually turn up in person to my comic shop of choice (I’m a mail order customer), that I stumbled across the Daredevil: End of Days mini-series. Slated for … Continue reading

Review: Fearless Defenders #1 – Bunn, Sliney and Gandini
The Defenders: I doubt there’s ever been a superhero team that’s had more ups and downs, both story-wise and industry-wise. Even so, I count myself in the camp of those who like them a lot. Which is why when I … Continue reading
