Written by Tim Seeley Plot by Tim Seeley & Tom King Art by Mikel Janin, Guillermo Ortego & Juan Castro Cover by Mikel Janin Purchase your copy @ Comixology now! After a successful transition from Nightwing to Agent 37 in issue #1 (checkout our review here!) Seeley continues to write a strong story for Dick Grayson with issue #2 by bringing in more of the emotional side of the story to balance out the spy drama however there’s perhaps a little too much thrown at completely new readers with little knowledge of the lead character for longtime fans to enjoy.…

Written by Brian Michael Bendis Art by Stuart Immonen Cover by Stuart Immonen Purchase your copy @ Comixology now! With my review of issue#28 (here) I talked about how the writers of this book have almost written themselves into a complicated time travel, alternate future corner which is going to be incredibly difficult to write their way out of. Now here we are discussing issue #29 and the writers are beginning to do exactly that by moving the story in to a final conclusion in the battle with young Xavier’s Brotherhood first introduced in the ‘Battle of the Atom’ arc. What the writers…

This week it was time for Peter Capaldi to face his toughest challenge yet: a Mark Gatiss written, comedic episode of ‘Doctor Who’. After two weeks of bringing a dark humour to the show and exploring some of the more murky aspects of the Who-verse this week Steven Moffat and his creative team stepped away from the heavy subject matter and took time to craft a more stand alone episode which doesn’t factor in to the slow burning Missy storyline that’s been woven in to the previous two episodes (reviewed here and here). I’m hearing two main arguments against season…

Following on from the strong season opener ‘Deep Breath’ – reviewed here! – ‘Doctor Who’ delves in to much deeper territory with this episode, taking viewers somewhere we’ve never been before… inside a Dalek! Where ‘Deep Breath’ began to take the show along a deeper path by showing the coldness of this new Doctor ‘Into the Dalek’ pushes the series in leaps and bounds along this new trajectory. Secondary characters are sacrificed with a moments notice and in the end not even the heroic acts of the Doctor himself can save a Dalek and turn him good. The episode opens…
