The Kamandi Challenge Challenge
The Kamandi Challenge Challenge
Starting this year and running through until December, DC have set up a comics project called ‘The Kamandi Challenge’. Established as a tribute to the experimental, pioneering work of Jack Kirby, the challenge asks a rotating creative team each month to pick up from the cliffhanger of the last issue, solve it, and then tell a story which leads to another cliffhanger for the next team to try and…

Writing About Comics in 2016
Writing About Comics in 2016
Mainly for the sake of my own failing memory, which has been a sparkless nightmare all year, I wanted to do a run-through of my year in writing about comics across 2016, and the sorts of things I’ve been working on. Also because I like attention. Here’s a sort of summary, with brief anecdotes, about my various projects through the last year. JANUARY The first big piece of the year was with Si…

A Galaxy Within The Universe: Star Wars and Marvel
A Galaxy Within The Universe: Star Wars and Marvel
John Cassaday Marvel have been trying something which isn’t often seen at shared-universe publishers: introducing a second universe. Their “Star Wars” comics arrived last year, following Disney purchasing Lucasfilm and the inevitable subsequent end for Dark Horse’s most enduring comics licence. Since then, the books have been some of the biggest selling comics for the publisher, even as they move…

500 Words On Chamber
500 Words On Chamber
Actually 650, but don’t hold that against me. At the current moment, as far as we’re aware, Chamber is a teacher at the X-Men’s school, whoever it may be named after. The Sean Cassidy School for Advanced Mutant Learning and Phonetics? But the thing about him is that he doesn’t teach something like English Lit, Biology, French, the standard sorts of classes that you might see in a school. Instead,…

Review: Daredevil #8
Daredevil started a new arc this week, as the fabulously smart caption box on the front of the latest issue informed me. Of anything that Marvel has implemented over the last few months, the caption box on the front page which says “all-new story starts now!” has been the most useful, and the one which I desperately hope more publishers take advantage of. I know Image like to have you read every…

Review: Scooby-Doo Apocalypse #1
Review: Scooby-Doo Apocalypse #1
DC are launching fix or six Hannah-Barbera comics over the next few weeks, such as an update of Wacky Races which promises to invest the franchise with the post-apocalyptic latex bodysuits it clearly apparently needed. It’s a freakish mix of books, with what looks like a straight-laced version of The Flintstones being the only one of them which seems to be following the original spirit of the…

Review: The Fix #2
Review: The Fix #2
A few years back, at I think the second-ever Image Expo, the main story afterwards was how Image had attracted so many of Marvel and DC’s top writers and artists, where they would be making new comics without mandates or restraint. Gillen, McKelvie and Wilson would take their pop-influenced contemporo-action into The Wicked and The Divine; Scott Snyder and Jock would indulge their passion for…

Review: Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #6
Review: Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #6
DC seem to be up for collaborations: following previous projects which have teamed up Green Lantern with Star Trek and Batman ’66 with The Green Hornet, the most recent cross-publisher foray has seen them ally with IDW for a series I’m legitimately surprised never happened before. Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has been a six-issue miniseries which plays into the silliness of both concepts…

Punisher
Declan Shalvey and Jordie Bellaire Writer: Becky Cloonan, Artist: Steve Dillon, Colourist: Frank Martin, Letterer: Cory Petit The Punisher returns for a new series at Marvel, following the largely positive response to the character’s debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe this year. Interestingly enough, Marvel’s choice of creative team brings back an artist known most prominently for drawing…

My Ten Favourite Comics of 2015
My Ten Favourite Comics of 2015
With CBR wrapping up their list of the Top 100 Comics of 2015 – a list which is decided by their entire staff listing a top ten, allocating a set amount of points to each comic as a result. Your #1 comic gets ten points, your #10 comic gets 1 point, etc, or something like that. As they’ve finished and published their list, I wanted to post my top ten list too! 10 Godzilla in Hell #1 By James…

The Spire Revisits House of M #4
The Spire Revisits House of M #4
Previously: We’re living in an alternate world where mutants and humans aren’t at each others throats except, well, they still are a little. Wolverine is the only man who knows that we’re not in Kansas anymore, only he’s on the run from SHIELD (as far as we know) and Luke Cage has just abducted him for reasons unknown. Oh, and also Hawkeye is alive again! House of M #4 Publishing Date: July 2005…

The Spire Revisits House of M #3
The Spire Revisits House of M #3
Previously: Scarlet Witch Wanda Maximoff created an alternate universe where mutants and humans lived together happily – sort of. Everybody is off living un-heroic normal civilian lives, aside from world hero and Gambit slaughterer Carol Danver. Things seem generally to be fairly calm and happy, although we find out that Magneto has taken over the cause of world peace, suggesting that Wanda still…

The Spire Revisits House of M #2
Previously: Wanda Maximoff realised that her children didn’t really exist and went on a reality-warping mind-trip which killed off several Avengers and left her a danger to everyone. Rather than shoot her up with the mutant cure or wipe her memory, the Avengers and X-Men instead left her in the hands of noted failures Magneto and Xavier, who promptly failed to help her. Travelling to find out if…

Comics Stuff What I Wrote in 2015
Hiya! I wrote a load of things across 2015 about comics, almost solely for Comic Book Resources and ComicsAlliance. Mostly I’m an interviewer, and this year I got to speak to everyone from Garth Ennis, Sonny Liew and Matt Kindt to Gail Simone, Peter Milligan and Warren Ellis; Jen Van Meter and David Walker to Simone Bianchi and Jeff Stokely. I also did countless Kickstarter profile pieces with a…

The Spire Revisits House of M #1
Marvel had a mutant problem and Brian Michael Bendis had the solution: eight issues of alternate universe, Wolverine in a panic, melodramatic Maximoffs and three infamous words later, the mutant race were down to 198 members. Welcome to House of M, where Bendis and Olivier Coipel set up a whole world and then destroyed it, in a bonfire of the X-Gene which heralded the arrival of The Avengers:…

Comics: Fix Your Solicitations!
Solicitations come out from most comic publishers now, with companies from Marvel and DC through to First Second and Archie all giving an advance preview of what’s coming up three months into the future. A product of the peculiar retailing process almost unique to the comics industry, the use of solicitations was originally designed to help retailers know which comics they should pre-order,…

Blog Carnival: The Fightin' Fans Vs The Censorious Critics
Blog Carnival: What's All This About Criticism In Comics?
It’s blog carnival day! Whilst you eat candy floss and consider having a go at ducking the Dan DiDio, several different comics blogs will be writing on the same theme across the course of the next few hours. This blog, happily, will be one of them.
The topic for BlogCarnival 2015 (or Blarnival if you would to sound vaguely Irish about it) is:
