Review by Comix There is a quote on the back of Atomic Robo Vol. 4 from Major Spoilers that says: “If you’ve never read Atomic Robo, then there is something seriously wrong with you.” Let me tell you, I must have had a freaking brain aneurism because how I managed to miss this amazing comic […]
Review by Comix Cal McDonald has been shot, stabbed, bitten by creepy, grimy ghoulies, probably set on fire, and survived death itself, but now he’s facing something that many who have fought a horde of blood-sucking vampires rarely get to face. ANOTHER GODDAMN SERIES! That’s right, he’s back! After a nail-biting fight between Steve Niles’ […]
Review by Comix Sidekicks have always gotten a bad rap. From ransom fodder to comedy relief, sidekicks have always been the throwaway characters of the comic world. In fact, Robin himself became so expandable that, at one point, in Batman issue #428, readers got to vote if Robin lived or died after a brutal attack […]
By Comix Kids are weird. They smell weird, they say weird shit, and, if Christmas movies are to be believed, they have the power to make wishes come true through the magic of innocence. But nothing is weirder than a kid’s imaginary friend, who could be anything from a rainbow goldfish to a talking rock […]
By Comix Sometimes, the strangest stories come from the most humble of people. What could at one moment be a sweet tale of childhood innocence can quickly turn into one of horror in a world a thousand miles beyond redemption. Sweet Tooth is exactly that kind of comic. It is a story of brutality and […]
Review by Annie Riordan So I’m going camping this summer. Actually, I went camping last summer, but it doesn’t count because #1 – I didn’t know I was going camping and #2 – it turned into an epic clusterfuck, which ended with me wading through knee-high pools of rainwater in my pajamas in search of […]
By Keri O’Shea Daniel Gates is what you would call a fixer – a man of ways and means, someone who works to acquire rare artefacts for people whose conventional methods have turned up nothing. He does this for a steep fee, of course, but he is good at what he does. When he successfully […]
By Comix Every comic company has one: some strange creature forever creeping in the back issues of long forgotten comics, popping up occasionally in an obscure reference only to sink back down into the depths of imagination. A creation that demands unflinching dedication to its story, a reflection not only of the worlds ills, but […]
Review by Oliver Longden Blood Fugue is one of those strange novels that falls somewhere between a set of existing horror tropes without ever quite managing to capture the essence of any of them. Jimmy Kerrigan is a reclusive writer with a profound fear of the dark living in an isolated mountain community in America. […]
Review by Comix Steve Ditko is a man who gets around. Not only is he considered to be one of the most influential artists in the comic industry, but he is also responsible for creating such huge characters like Spider-man and Dr. Strange and contributing heavily to Iron Man and The Hulk. He is a […]
Review by Ben Bussey Short stories have quite a role in horror history, don’t they? While often the format is regarded perhaps a little dismissively as simply an entry point into the field for fledgling wordsmiths, for many writers they’re an end unto themselves. Plenty of the horror masters have done some of their best and most […]
