  • Star Trek: Countdown to Darkness TPB Review

    Star Trek: Countdown to Darkness TPB Review

    All in all, Star Trek: Countdown to Darkness justifies its existence and does actually enhance the overall Into Darkness experience. Which, I guess, automatically places it a notch above almost every other TV/movie tie-in I’ve read in recent years.

  • The Rocketeer and The Spirit Team Up for IDW Miniseries

  • Kill Shakespeare Vol. 1 TPB Review

    Kill Shakespeare Vol. 1 TPB Review

    2010, IDW Story: Conor McCreery, Anthony Del Col Art: Andy Belanger Colours: Ian Herring Could any other scribe warrant such a passionate yet divisive response upon the mere utterance of his surname? For every uncultured individual who sees Shakespeare’s plays as the crux of a painful childhood, there seems to be an academically inclined counterpart…

  • Tank Girl: The Royal Escape #1 Comic Review

    Tank Girl: The Royal Escape #1 Comic Review

    Dark Horse, $3.99 Story: Alan C. Martin Art: Rufus Dayglo Colours: Christian Krank Tank Girl is virtually synonymous with the British comic movement of the 90s, even if the disastrous movie (which introduced Naomi Watts to the world) failed to make the character more than a cult icon and frequenter of T-shirts. Crude, irreverent and…

  • Locke & Key: Crown of Shadows #1 Review

    Locke & Key: Crown of Shadows #1 Review

    IDW, $3.90 Story: Joe Hill Art: Gabriel Rodriguez, Jay Fotos Having heard nothing but praise for Joe Hill’s original supernatural series, I bull-headedly decided to jump on the train at the third carriage. Yup, this third volume/act in the series isn’t exactly welcoming to new readers. Not that is necessarily should be, but I’d advise…

  • The Ghoul #1 Review

    The Ghoul #1 Review

    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…
