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: 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 […]
