| When I read that Joss Whedon was collaborating with the Buffy comic people I jumped out of my seat. This is season 8 but in comic format, and boy is it good...I have just started reading "No Future for you" which is the second book collecting the next 5 or so issues. Buffy at war with more than just demons! Dawn has for some reason become a giant! Xander a general type of the slayer army! Willow can...well I havent given much away here and dont want to risk giving any more. Suffice to say that there ... Read More: |

| I think this is deliberate though as it wouldn't do to have a comic tell an important story in the firefly setting just in case a new series or movie is commissioned. While that looks very unlikely now at the time this was first published it was more of a possibility.
That aside this is Ok, the art is nice and the characters are recognisable. The plot is simple and a bit too light but the characters are portrayed well, its like a filler episode of a TV series. |

| Having borrowed the first Artemis Fowl novel (from a friend who implored me to read it), I'd never actually owned a copy. It didn't seem right to adore a book so much and not actually own one, so I faithfully visited Amazon.co.uk to set this to rights. When I saw that a graphic novel had been just been released for AF1 there really was no decision to make; it was as good as mine.
And what a terrific job Colfer and Co have made of this electrifying story by putting it into a comic strip format. The original novel was extremely ... Read More: |

| Reading these reviews of Tintin au Congo reminds me of the words of social analyst Jason Edward Black, "the scariest of racial stereotypes and prejudices arise when the public cannot recognize such ills." Frankly I'm concerned by some of the responses: "there is nothing here that I would personally regard as outrageous" and "It preaches the true story of colonialism and Africa. However there is absolutely nothing racist about it..."
As a child I read both Tintin and Asterix comic books, adored them and was delighted to study them in a course ... Read More: |

| Rupert Bear Annual 2009
New Rupert artist Stuart Trotter announced that he is a fan of Alfred Bestall and would be basing his Rupert work on Bestall's style. Fair enough, he didn't like John Harrold's work- he said the crisp, well thought out and engaging linework was "clinical" - each to their own. What Trotter clearly meant was that trying to emulate John's immaculate style was beyond him, and that he could hide his shortcomings behind a loosely Bestallian style. No, scratch that- he meant that he could badly trace and copy Bestall, ... Read More: |
