Detective Comics Annual 11 Review
by
DC Writers: Fabian Nicieza, Mandy McMurray Art: Tom Mandrake, Kelly Jones Colours: Nathan Eyring, Michelle Madsen While the first part of Fabien Nicieza’s Azrael story ‘The Eighth Deadly Sin’ was pretty underwhelming, it’s nice to see this conclusion improve on it considerably. This is mainly due to the appearance of the Question, a character who…

Uncanny X-Men #516 Comic Book Review
by
Marvel Writer: Matt Fraction Pencils: Greg Land Inks: Jay Leisten Colours: Justin Ponsor Magneto’s back, and he’s more civil than ever before! Perhaps the biggest surprise with this issue was the way in which Matt Fraction handles the X-Men’s most formidable foe’s return.

Irredeemable #6 Comic Book Review
by
Boom! Studios Writer: Mark Waid Art: Peter Krause Irredeemable is a strange series. It’s easily one of the best titles currently on the shelves, and yet it’s difficult to get overly excited about. Mark Waid’s persistent flashbacks do stall the action on a monthly basis – I seem to whiz through each issue in less…

Vengeance of the Moon Knight #1 Review
by
Marvel Writer: Gregg Hurwitz Pencils: Jerome Opeña Colours: Dan Brown Moon Knight has always lurked on the periphery of the Marvel Universe; never popular enough to sustain his own series for more than few years but always welcomed by fans when he appears in games as Ultimate Alliance and Spider-Man: Web of Shadows. Mark Spectre’s…

Batman: The Widening Gyre #1 Comic Review
by
DC Writer: Kevin Smith Pencils: Walt Flanagan Inks: Art Thibert Colours: Art Lyon Following the critically lambasted Cacophony miniseries, Kevin Smith and Walt Flanagan unite once more to bring us another ill-conceived Batman limited-series. Six-part series The Widening Gyre – the title presumably taken from Yeat’s ‘The Second Coming’ – is a moderate improvement on…
