Predator #1 Comic Book Review
by
Dark Horse Writer: John Arcudi Art: Javier Saltares Colours: Wes Ozioba, Andrew Alder The first issue of Dark Horse’s Aliens comic resurrection released several weeks ago was a solid if pedestrian return to the franchise, saved by some decent dialogue and a genuinely unexpected twist. Hot on that series’ heels is the Predator, that other…

Dark Reign: Amazing Spider-man #598 Review
by
Marvel Writer: Joe Kelly Art: Paulo Siqueira, Marco Checchetto, Santos Colours: Jeremy Cox After a spate of mediocre standalone issues and the pointless ‘24/7’ arc, Spidey’s assimilation into the Dark Reign event has given the series a much needed shot of adrenaline.

The Flash: Rebirth #2 Comic Book Review
by
DC Comics Writer: Geoff Jones Art: Ethan Van Sciver Colours: Alex Sinclair As someone who dips in and out of the DC Universe while keeping one foot firmly in Marvel territory, it continues to amaze me how DC make no effort whatsoever to open up their new titles to the uninitiated. By bringing back Barry…

Batman: Detective Comics #853 Review
by
Story: Neil Gaiman Art: Andy Kubert Inks: Scott Williams Colours: Alex Sinclair Trust Neil Gaiman to write a story like ‘Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?’ Whereas Gaiman’s most recent mainstream superhero work such as 1602 and Eternals has been pretty conventional business, this tale was far closer to his more ambiguous work from Vertigo.…
