Don’t you love when you’ve gotten a little behind on your comics and then you all of a sudden completely find yourself hooked on a new title and get to read a couple of issues basically back-to-back? Well that’s how I feel about ‘Batman/Superman’. I was not keen on issue #1, I got a little hooked during issue #2 and thankfully only had to wait a couple of days to pick up issue #3. This issue…

Having been a little slow to pick up on issue #1 of this series I’ve had a nice weekend where I’ve been able to read issues 2 and 3 back-to-back. In my review of issue #2 I talked about the excitement of having a straight up Superman titled with Jim Lee behind the pencil and this issue starts pushing that to the extreme. Cover artwork aside there is some amazing artwork on display…

I slightly missed the boat by not reviewing issue #1 on time and was highly tempted to go back but maybe I will just add it in to the pile of items for a classic review. I mentioned in my review of ‘Batman/Superman’ #2 that these two titles launched simultaneously for maximum impact during the marketing campaign for the hugely successful ‘Man of Steel’ movie. That being said you could be…

As I have been quite enjoying the ‘Batgirl’ title I decided that it was time to dip in to the ‘Birds of Prey’ title to see how this New 52 incarnation was working out. I’ve read several of the told TPB’s which I picked up around the time of the short-lived TV series which was my introduction to the universe of BoP. NB: I like the idea of Helena Wayne/Kyle daughter of Batman…
Directed by Harald Zwart Written by Cassandra Clare (novel) & Jessica Postigo Paquette (screenplay) Check it out in cinemas world-wide now! Beware of spoilers! I first saw the trailer for this movie some time ago and it immediately grabbed my interest as it seemed like a despite being an attempt to cash in on the massive hole left in the world-wide box office in the wake of the ‘Twilight’ saga reaching an end. I saw the first couple of ‘Twilight’ movies at the cinema, I enjoyed them for what they were. I didn’t buy in to the romance, I’ve never…

Cover & Art by Jae Lee Written by Greg Pak Purchase your copy @ Comixology now! Beware of spoilers! I was a little confused by issue #1 of this series. It wasn’t that I disliked it I just wasn’t sure what the point of this series was going to be. With the launch coinciding with the release of ‘Man of Steel’ in movie-land as well as ‘Superman Unchained’ in the comic-world so it felt like a little saturation of the market in terms of Supes. This title is I guess the closest you could find to high-brow in the world…

I was wandering around a cut-price music and DVD shop a couple of weeks ago when I spied a copy of the ‘Tru Calling: Complete Series’ boxset sitting on a shelf next to some of the original deluxe boxsets of ‘Buffy’ and ‘Angel’. Believe me this is not a normal occurrence in this day-and-age and it was a major trip down memory lane. The original pilot for ‘Tru Calling’ had appeared online the…

Beware of spoilers! ‘Batgirl: Wanted’ kicks off this month in the wake of the events which have seen Barbara lose her brother and cut off the bat-logo from her costume. I’ve read a lot of reviews of this title over the last two years and most have veered from exceedingly positive to equally as negative. In terms of recent issues it seems that many of the critics are taking issue with the levels of violence and also the…
