My Top Horror Flick Countdown over at Gestalt Mash has finally come to its conclusion. Here’s the final list in all its golden glory. I’m pretty sure I say enough in each link, so I’ll be uncharacteristically succinct here. Enjoy. Introduction – and Killer Klowns From Outer Space at a sneaky #29 – Chiodo Brothers [...]

I haven’t ever read Thunderbolts before. No, wait, that’s a lie. I tried to get my hands on that Iron Fist issue but instead my wife bought the first Diggle trade. It wasn’t bad. But I never went back and chased more. I have delved into this issue, and the one prior, because they tie [...]

Secret Avengers is not a title I’m giving up on yet. The first arc started so strong but then honestly ran flat to the finish line. But then we got The Secret Life of Max Fury and all was reset. Now, we are starting a mystical arc with Shang-Chi and the Prince of Orphans. And [...]

There are only three choices left, the big guns left to be revealed. But if you’re any sort of horror fan then you’ll realise there are many more than five horror ‘classics’ yet to be chosen. Hot tip, not all will make the cut, I’m afraid. It’s going to be a turbulent time in the [...]

It was a while ago now, maybe even two months, but on thoughtballoons it was my choice of character for the week of scripts and so, being in the thick of Shadowland, I chose my favourite character, Matt Murdock. I put a script up, it was the way I would bring back Man-Bull, and make [...]

This is a Pilot Season comic. It’s the last one, and voting starts on the 1st of November. The last comic held the advantage in that it would be most fresh in the minds of all readers. It also holds an advantage in that it’s a pretty fine comic, and a killer concept that just [...]

CBGB is a comic anthology by BOOM! that presents a punk rock approach to short comic tales. It’s had ups and downs but overall it’s been a very effective title. This final issue wraps the series up with a great kiss off by Kelly Sue DeConnick and then adds a coda that isn’t quite as [...]

I’m going to change the format here, and completely steal Chad Nevett’s schtick, by mixing my weekly comic haul with some eclectic musings (see what I did there? No thesaurus or nothing!). So, let’s go. Eclectic Purchase – Daredevil #511 – so far the main title hasn’t really dropped too far in quality, even though [...]
