Marvel Graphic Novel Collection Issue 11 Review
This week’s book takes us back to the glory days of Marvel UK, and provides us with another sequence in the collection as this book is number three. Way back in the 1970′s Marvel UK was set up as a way of reprinting American comics for a British audience, eventually they were allowed to produce work of their own, although often despite the “UK” tag the writers had very loose connections to the UK. In the … Read entire article »

More Games, More TV Shows, More Comics and a Very Special Guest at MCM London Comic Con!
I like MCM Expo, it’s a lot of fun and not quite like any other con I’ve been to. They get some great comic talent there but also focus a lot on other media; TV, movies and games. To that end I always like to give them some free promotion and this is their most recent press release with a … Read entire article »
Avengers Assemble – Speculating on Marvel Studios Phase Two
Well, the inevitable has happened. Disney have announced an Avengers sequel as an official, real, actual thing. It’s happening. Sure, that’s all they’ve announced so far, so hard an fast facts are hard to come by, but it’s reason enough to continue making wild guesses about what’s coming up in the Marvel Studios films over the next few years.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine – A Movie Flashback
How did Wolverine’s solo film go so wrong? Hugh Jackman, who clearly cares about the character, was involved in a producing capacity, they hired Gavin Hood, the acclaimed director of Tsotsi, to helm the film, and they cast excellent actors in key roles. Who didn’t think Liev Schreiber as Sabretooth and Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool were two spot on bits … Read entire article »
Who are The First X-Men?
So I’m running a pool on The First X-Men and just what it means, put your answer in the comments below, send me a pound and the winner takes the lot. We’ll find out the truth this Monday @ 5PM EST at Marvel.com but I’m guessing it has something to do with Bendis and some kind of X-Men reboot or … Read entire article »
SONIC BOOM!! ~ Fanboys vs Zombies
So, recently our beloved leader (no Zod, or Ming…Hail Ming) suggested that we restart the Boom! Studios reviews. I agreed, on one condition, I didn’t have to review anything featuring Disney characters, or Garfield. Bones agreed to this, and so I agreed to start reviewing again. So, firstly, I would like to discuss Fanboys vs Zombies, written by Sam Humphries with … Read entire article »

Avengers VS. X-Men – Act Two: NO MORE AVENGERS!
Sarcastic commenting on Marvel press release: Following the world changing effects of Avengers VS. X-Men #5 (apparently there are world changing effects in issue number 5) the Marvel Universe will face a dramatic change unlike any fans have ever seen before bringing the action packed first act to a close (reboot of the Avengers anyone? What a shocker). Then, the comic … Read entire article »
An Apology to the Avenging Ones
This might be an odd admission to start this piece, but I must confess, I’m not overtly keen on superheroes.

Let’s talk about Phil – Avengers **SPOILERS**
There are some things in life that it is okay to spoil, like classic shows that you should’ve seen, Magnum P.I. for example or trashy soaps, like Hollyoaks, where the whole point is to be titillated into watching even if you know exactly what is going to happen. The Avengers movie ( I refuse to call it the UK-friendly Avenger’s … Read entire article »
