Howard Lovecraft and the Frozen Kingdom Review

November 22, 2009 Carl Doherty 1 Comment

2009, Arcana Writer: Bruce Brown Artist: Renzo Pedesta H.P. Lovecraft didn’t lead what could be described as a happy life. During his childhood he watched his father rot in a mental asylum due to a misunderstood variety of syphilis – surely the groundwork for his later fascination with the nature of madness – while in […]

Deathlok: The Demolisher #1 (of 7) Review

Marvel Jan 10, $3.99 Story: Charlie Huston Art: Lan Medina Colours: Brian Heberling In comic books, perhaps more than any other storytelling medium, there seems to be a large percentage of new titles that are proficiently written and finely illustrated, but so thoroughly lacking in likeable characters that it’s hard to care how Issue 1 […]

Cowboy Ninja Viking #1 Review

November 19, 2009 Carl Doherty Leave a comment

Image Oct 09, $3.50 Story: AJ Lieberman Art: Riley Rossmo Generally it’s pretty easy to summarise a new comic series by its title, and I like to think I’d be forgiven for assuming that Pirate Ninja Viking was a lazy parody of crossover events and genre mish-mashes. Well, I couldn’t have been further form the […]

Black Widow: Deadly Origin #1 (of 4) Review

Marvel Jan 10, $3.99 Story: Paul Cornell Art: Tom Raney, Scott Hanna, John Paul Leon, Matt Milla The upcoming Iron Man sequel has seen renewed interest in Natasha Romanova, and this quality origin story is definitely the way to go about promoting the super-spy to a new generation of comic readers. Paul Cornell, whose recent […]

The Great Ten #1 (of 10) Review

DC Jan 10, $2.99 Story: Tony Bedard Pencils: Scott McDaniel Inks: Andy Owens Colours: The Hories Of everything to have arisen from 52, the Great Ten (essentially China’s equivalent of the Justice League) were one of the most interesting additions to the DCU. It’s somewhat peculiar that it’s taken several years for DC to give […]

The Ghoul #1 Review

November 19, 2009 Carl Doherty Leave a comment

IDW Nov 09 $3.99 Story: Steve Niles Art: Bernie Wrightson Colours: Tom Smith Try as he may, Steve Niles has never quite outdone 30 Days of Night. That title brought him such attention; party because it was good, but largely because it ran on such a clever and instantly “gettable” premise. Niles latest series for […]

ABOUT

Shelf Abuse is the personal blog of British writer, designer and occasional artist Carl Doherty.

What started out in 2006 as a blog purely about comics has evolved over the years into a weekly piece on indie comics and/or self-publishing. Guest writers are always welcome, too, to vent their opinions on the current state of comics, share their favourite books or simply promote their work.
