Review: Tall Tales from the Badlands
The subject of today’s review is Tall Tales from the Badlands, a Western anthology written by brothers Sean and Seamus Kevin Fahey and drawn by a variety of artists. I’ve already spoken of my love for Westerns in earlier reviews, so I’m always happy to read more comics within the genre. This isn’t […]
Review: Healed #1
No disease. No illness. Now what? Here is a case of a comic boldly declaring its own elevator pitch on its front cover, in the eye-catching form of a newspaper headline. It’s a tantalising high concept that writer George O’Connor has come up with: what if one day everybody in the world […]
Review: Omnitarium
Written by Jamie Gambell and drawn by J.C. Grande, Omnitarium is a horror story set in Victorian England, revolving around a prison community that finds itself under siege by an old evil that refuses to die. Omnitarium is a four-part miniseries, but it might be better to call it a story of two halves. […]
Review: The Holy Terror #1
Comics and pro wrestling go well together. I was a big fan of both when I was younger, and though in recent years my enthusiasm has shifted much towards the comic book realm and away from the stagnant wrestling scene, I’ve still long harboured the notion that combining the two could make for a […]
Review: Ghost Lines #1
Having greatly enjoyed writer Mark Bertolini’s work in supervillain series Breakneck, I was excited to read Ghost Lines, the Creator’s Edge Press series he is writing in collaboration with artist Carl Yonder. This is a very different comic to Breakneck, in terms of both content and tone, but what remains consistent is the quality […]
Review: Caffeinated Toothpaste
I myself have never been the biggest follower of webcomics. I followed Shortpacked daily for the best part of a year at one point, but drifted away from it. And I love Tears of the Dragon by ComixTribe’s Tyler James, but I’ll admit I’m often lax about checking updates every week, more often […]
Review – Abyss: Family Issues #1
A lot of comics readers rag on superheroes. They’re bland and unoriginal. They’re just for kids. Every story has already been told. I’ve heard all the criticisms, and some of them may have a degree of merit. But still, I personally love the genre, and can’t get enough of it. […]
Review – 8: A Steampunk Anthology
The illopond Creative Collective is a stable of independent artists who put a focus on the creation and distribution of their own original work, and 8: A Steampunk Anthology is their latest collaboration, a follow-up to 8: A Kid’s Book Anthology. Given the focus illopond puts on the creative autonomy of the artist, every […]
Review: Vic Boone #1
It’s been a real pleasure seeing 215 Ink grow over the past few months. I’ve been excited about their ever-growing lineup of quality comics, and it seems more people are starting to recognise that. Vic Boone in particular is a series that has had quite a bit of buzz around it, perhaps the […]
Review: Good Samaritan – Unto Dust #1
Mike Luoma, the chief creative force behind Glow-in-the-Dark Radio, is best known for his work as a radio DJ. But he has also put out quite an impressive library of indy comics in recent years. Panthea Obscura, the Vatican Assassin trilogy and, perhaps best known, Holy Shit all deal with the theme of […]
Review: Nothingface #1
I first became aware of Kel Nuttall as an incredibly talented letterer, with no idea of any inclination he might have had towards writing comics. So, what first attracted my attention to Nothingface was curiosity over how well Kel made the leap from one discipline to another. But upon reading Nothingface #1, I […]
