Batman: The Killing Joke Deluxe Edition Review
2008, DC Comics
Writer: Alan Moore
Art: Brian Bolland
If there’s a trend in any critic’s list of acclaimed graphic novels it seems to be that the most lauded comics are usually multi-volume efforts, or extensive, dense affairs. At a mere 48 pages The Killing Joke is not as intricate or layered as Alan Moore’s other works, but the book’s … read more

4 More Featurettes for The Watchmen Movie

Unless, like me, you plan to spend the next 10 days in a makeshift stasis pod constructed from a bathtub, frozen peas and a sheet of tinted Perspex, you’re probably climbing the walls for a way to pass the time until March 6th.
Yes, March 6th is the day we finally get to see Zack Snyder’s Watchmen, a … read more

It’s a kick in the post-festive balls for comic lovers everywhere (except Alan Moore, who’s probably clapping his ring-heavy hands with joy) as numerous sources are reporting that the Watchmen legal copyright infringement fiasco is set to continue for the foreseeable future. As an everyman moron whose knowledge of legal procedure extends no further than the first episode of Damages, … read more

2000, America’s Best Comics
Writer: Alan Moore
Art: Gene Ha, Zander Cannon
Though Alan Moore has never bettered his eighties output, and likely never will, it’s amazing how strong his work for America’s Best Comics has been. At first glance The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Tom Strong and Promethea are all typical high-concept ideas, of the kind the comic industry … read more
