If you somehow didn’t know it already, then this is breaking news for you: this year marks the 50th anniversary of the longest running science fiction TV show in the world: Doctor Who. Long-running...
Review: Batman and Robin Annual #1
One accusation thrown at DC is that their comics are very stern, and there's little room for silliness and fun jokes in their Universe. And it's an accusation which does tend to hit the...
Review: Young Avengers #1
People who know me are generally surprised when they find out I'm a huge fan of Phonogram, the ode to the power of music from Kieron Gillen and James McKelvie. Britpop does not seem...
Review: Unfair from Monkeybrain Comics
Written by Vance Sumner, drawn by Sandy Jarrell. Published by Monkeybrain Comics.
A one-off short story about family, Unfair is a decent, if flawed, issue. As a story this is a well-told piece of work,...
Review: The Answer #1
We've all been enjoying Dennis Hopeless week, haven't we? That time once a month where two of his books come out on the same day? Well just in case that wasn't enough, it looks...

Aside from being Dennis Hopeless week once more, this week saw every company release a massively publicized, 'important' comic. From Dark Horse's new Star Wars series to Marvel's Sinister Spider-Man, this was a week...
Review: SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN #1 for the Confused
I’ll admit it. I’m confused. For a Spidey fan, I haven’t been following AMAZING SPIDER-MAN closely enough, though it would have been impossible to avoid becoming caught up in all the mania surrounding number...
The Beat Reviews for 02/01/13: Featuring Illicit Benedict Cumberbatch Pictures!

A Smurfy Preview Review: THE BABY SMURF by Peyo from Papercutz
