  • Veronica 202

    It was with surprise, and not a little scepticism, that people heard the news that Archie Comics would be introducing their first openly gay character in Veronica #202.

  • Avengers vs the Pet Avengers 1

    Remember the 1960’s, when Marvel was ‘cool’ because they did flatulent cosmic bollocks like Silver Surfer, and DC wasn’t because they did all the stuff with Super-Pets? Well, time for us uncool ones to get our smug on, because Marvel, unexpectedly, has reversed the trend and restored fun to comics again.

  • Dandy 3508

    Veteran comedy weekly Dandy has been having a bad decade; It was completely revamped in 2004, ditching most of the long-running series, but, despite much publicity at the time, almost no-one noticed.

  • Pride and Prejudice

    It is a truth universally acknowledged in the United Kingdom that our American cousins, unencumbered as they are by a great deal of history, (my local pharmacist having existed for almost as long as the United States) tend not to fully apprehend historical requirements in reinterpretations of classic literature.

  • The Adventures of Carrie Giver 1

    Released in 2006, this title is by now probably of interest only to Neal Adams completists, as he donated a typically overwrought cover to this charity comic designed to raise consciousness of the plight of caregivers.

  • X-Women 1

    Even the people who thought that dedicating a year to ‘The Ladies’ wasn’t sexist, with the implicit subtext that said ‘Ladies’ should bugger off to the kitchen or the bedroom every other year…Even they were smart enough to steer clear of this’n!

  • Honey West 1

    A sparky, glossy thriller that’s engaging and eye-catching.

  • Captain America: Patriot 1 & 2

    At last, a ‘retcon’ that gets it right, not in the tired, “Everything you knew is a lie!” sense, nor the painfully Roy-Thomas “Why did Captain Turnip’s mask switch from full-face to half-face in 1943?” sense (Some people just own more than one hat, Roy…), but in a way that puts heart, rather than obsessive history or hollow spectacle, at the core of the narrative.

  • Clint 1

    After one of the more effective plugging campaigns in decades, Clint, the adult anthology touted as a comics event akin to the Eagle and 2000AD launches, has been unleashed into British newsagents and supermarkets. Who are confused as buggery about it.
