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 […]
Review: Extinct #1
Werewolves get a bum deal. It’s a cool concept for a monster, and can be visually stunning. But while vampires and zombies thrive, the poor werewolf seems to hobble along at a distant third, all too often reduced these days to playing a scantily-clad supporting role in vampire stories. And even when […]
Review: Buck #1
Another recent addition to the impressive roster of projects by comics publisher 215 Ink, Buck caught my interest in that it is the latest project by writer Stephen Lindsay. Lindsay is a writer that seems to specialise in bringing to life crazy high concepts, first with the title-says-it-all Jesus Hates Zombies, then taking it […]
Review: Nosferatu
The subject of today’s review is an interesting comic curio: a modern-day retelling of F.W. Murnau’s classic 1922 silent horror film Nosferatu, by writer Christopher Howard Wolf and artist Justin Wayne. The graphic novel from Viper Comics is unusual in that it’s essentially a reimagining of a reimagining. The original film Nosferatu was a […]

The Sixth Gun: Cold Dead Fingers
I love me some Westerns. There Will Be Blood and Once Upon a Time in the West rank up there among my all-time favourite movies. Red Dead Redemption was one of the best games I’ve played in a long time. I’m currently searing through the Deadwood complete series DVD boxset that was […]
Review: Surviving the Damned #1
Surviving The Damned, by writer James Holmes and artist Christian Zamora, is something of an unpolished gem. It has its flaws, but if readers can look past those, I believe they’ll find a surprisingly engaging horror comic on offer here.

Review: Breakneck #1
It’s a shame that superheroes are so intrinsically linked with the creative output of Marvel and DC that great indy output within the genre can often be overlooked. Under the shadow of the Batmans and Spider-Mans of the world, some believe there’s not really anything new to say. I’d disagree, and would suggest […]
