Now we get the Silver books, comics that will be free from participating comic stores on Free Comic Book Day, Unlike the Gold books, these will be specifically chosen by individual stores to give away, and not all stores will have all the books. I'd like to give a shout out first though to the Bleeding[...]

It's always possible. There have been some whingers and moaners but a) it got on the Official Selection for Angouleme, which hasn't happened for a Marvel book for an age b) Matt Fraction has been busy writing Fantastic Four and FF writing Inhuman writing Sex Criminals and Satellite Sam and they're also really good comics and[...]

There's even more sex in the new Saga, and one of the climactic scenes may well be one of those comics that causes Apple to go all funny. Pretty Deadly gives us a Wild West equivalent of the toddler holding their breath until you do what they want. I'm sure once upon a time, I had a[...]

But there's also 7 or 8 other strips running with System S.H.O.C.K., by a whole host of people including Val Mayerik, James Hudnall, Jasper Bark, Lew Stringer, Reza Benhadj… quite a mixed bag really!

But there was another nineties that seems to have been returning by stealth[...]
