Animal Man is one of the best DCnU titles, if not the best. This issue continues the quality as things get messed up but the writing still nails home tiny inflections of characterisation.

I’ve liked the Swamp Thing relaunch. I certainly haven’t loved it. What luck, then, that the first issue I get to review is the one where it all finally kicks into gear. I wish this had been the debut issue, it’s damn tight. Hit the link below for more love: Swamp Thing #3 review on [...]

I’m a pretty big Frank Miller fan. His Daredevil work is golden and I’ve dug all three generations of his Batman work (as I think of them). He’s a master class kind of guy but this latest book, which stemmed from Batman V Al-Queda and become its own beast, just didn’t satisfy on all basic [...]

I’m a writer who is always writing. Don’t let the constant tweets and general time wasting fool you, I write plenty. And not just those weekly reviews I link farm to, either, but real actual words. Words about things. Seriously. Right now, for some strange reason, heaps of my major writing has converged all at [...]

The comic writing podcast featuring myself, Jeremy Holt, and Kurtis J Wiebe goes openly live with its second episode. We discuss plenty of different things but we talk about how music fits into our writing schedule and how we let art carry the scene. Recording this is a real blast, it feels like we three [...]

Miniseries for The Boys have been pretty average on the whole but this one…isn’t too bad. I’m not sure what I was expecting but this one kind of felt too much like what you thought might happen. I wanted more to be surprised. Overall, a decent comic. Hit the link below to read: Butcher, Baker, [...]

In 52 weeks I have written 52 one page scripts. I’ve written Daredevil (and brought back Man-Bull for the fun of it) and I’ve written DC characters who I had no idea about. I’ve written Scott Pilgrim and Green Wake and a whole bunch of other stuff. But the important thing is, I’ve written. In [...]

I have written an essay that will be included in a book being published this year. The essay is about the comic Transmetropolitan and how it relates to journalism. The book is published by SequArt, only the premiere publisher for comics literary material. The book is edited by Chad Nevett. The book is called Shot [...]

The ‘net at home has crashed. ‘Tis a sad day. I’m realizing I have about four articles to post at The Weekly Crisis – two scripts to go up at thoughtballoons – one article to get up for Gestalt Mash – and my weekly reviews to send in for CBR – and I can’t live [...]

Vampirella. It’s not a comic I’d normally clamour for but I got a preview so thought I’d give it a stab. It’s a character who is so unbelievably iconic, and comes with such baggage, but I could not name a single story she’s ever been party to. I didn’t mind this issue, not terrible, not [...]
