Written by Phillip Kennedy Johnson, Si Spurrier | Art by Dale Eaglesham, Ian Churchill | Published by DC Comics I had an argument not long ago with a friend of mine who tried to persuade me that there were simply no new stories about Superman left to tell. I’m a huge Superman fan of course, […]
Following January’s King in Black: Black Knight, acclaimed writer Simon Spurrier (X-Men Legacy, X-Force) will continue to pen the legend of the Black Knight in a brand-new series. Launching in March, Black Knight: Curse of the Ebony Blade will further expand the fascinating mythology behind the cursed hero and introduce his adventures to a new […]
Written by Si Spurrier | Art by Conor Boyle | Published by Titan Comics Hook Jaw has had plenty of bite so far, a lot to sink our teeth into and a story easy to dive into. Also ideal for bad puns apparently. Joking aside, Si Spurrier has managed to put a fresh spin and […]
Written by Si Spurrier | Art by Conor Boyle | Published by Titan Comics If there’s one thing this book confirms, it’s that the appetite for sharks in any medium is still there. People still love a little chomping action it seems. Si Spurrier has been pretty clever by making Hook Jaw, the nominal star […]
Written by Si Spurrier | Art by Conor Boyle | Published by Titan Comics Well this was a blast from the past last month. Although Hook Jaw has something of a cult status in British comics, the strip itself has not been seen for many a year. Originally the star of Action weekly comic in […]
Written by Si Spurrier | Art by Conor Boyle | Published by Titan Comics Titan, like most of us, clearly think you can never have enough sharks in popular entertainment, and have dusted down another very niche property. Hook Jaw was originally one of the stars of British weekly Action, one of the most legendary […]
Written by Si Spurrier | Art by Simon Fraser | Published by Titan Comics So here we are, the final issue in Year Two of the Eleventh Doctor. Obviously that doesn’t affect The Doctor much, as Year Three begins almost immediately and he will find new escapades aplenty to get tied up in. What is […]
An intense modern iteration of the titular ocean predator, which debuted in legendary British comic (and forerunner to 2000AD) Action #1. Initially inspired by the success of the film, Jaws, Hook Jaw was one of many Action strips so violent it was banned from the shelves upon release – but now Hook Jaw is back […]
Written by Si Spurrier | Art by Simon Fraser | Published by Titan Comics Been a little while since I checked in on the Eleventh Doctor, and I was curious to see how much timey-wimey stuff I had missed. Scripter Si Spurrier I know mainly from 2000AD and Judge Dredd, and I liked the way […]
Here’s your first look at X-Force #1, the new series from innovative creative team of Si Spurrier and Rock-He Kim. Every sovereign nation in the Marvel Universe makes use of superhumans to protect national interests and pursue a covert national agenda. The stakes are high, and the prizes are intelligence, security, resources and power. Now, […]
This February, Cable leads a new black-ops squad to the darkest corners of the Marvel Universe in the all-new X-Force #1, from the creative team of Si Spurrier & Rock-He Kim. The Marvel Universe is a different place than it once was – and mutants are in more danger than ever before. Deadly threats are […]
Written by Si Spurrier | Drawn by PJ Holden | Coloured by Jordie Bellaire | Published by Titan Comics Often when you read a comic with a skyscraper-high concept the conclusion doesn’t quite live up to the promise of the rest of the book, mainly because the creators were so excited about the ideas they’d chucked at the wall that they neglected […]
The fourth, and sadly final, issue of critical smash Numbercruncher, by Si Spurrier, PJ Holden and Jordie Bellaire, hits comic stores next Wednesday 23rd October and we’ve got a preview for you! If you haven’t read Mark’s stellar reviews of the first THREE issues, click here (you really should). The shock conclusion of the critically acclaimed temporal afterlife adventure! An epic […]
Written by Si Spurrier | Drawn by PJ Holden | Colours by Jordie Bellaire | Published by Titan Books Last we saw, Bastard Zane was in a bit of a bind; not only had mathematician Thyme screwed him out of early retirement from his duties as an afterlife enforcer, but he’d also conned his way into perpetual reincarnation, meaning that he could […]
Issue #2 of critical smash Numbercruncher by Si Spurrier, PJ Holden & Jordie Bellaire hits comic stores next Wednesday 21st August and we’ve got a preview for you! If you haven’t read Mark’s stellar review of the first issue, click here (you really should). Nothing worse’n a Mathematician in love. As he died, in 1969, a Mathematician glimpsed […]
Written by Si Spurrier | Drawn by PJ Holden | Colours by Jordie Bellaire | Published by Titan Books I’m a little biased going into this book because, as anyone with a passing familiarity with our Panel Discussion posts can tell you, I’ve kind of got a thing for Si Spurrier’s writing. His cynical sense of humour, unbridled invention (not to […]
Hey folks – Mark again. Last week saw a fluke of scheduling for my pull list which meant I only got one comic from the store, that being X-Men: Legacy #9 from writer Si Spurrier and artist Tan Eng Huat. This series has been one of the best surprises from Marvel’s recent relaunch, so I thought it’d be […]
