Resident Alien, Omnibus Volume 1 by Peter Hogan and Steve Parkhouse (graphic novel review).
Despite the introduction to ‘Resident Alien Omnibus Volume 1’, saying that not all aliens visiting the Earth are invaders, I think this book series creators, writer Peter Hogan and artist Steve Parkhouse, forget the likes of the films ‘E.T. – The Extra- Terrestrial’ and ‘Starman’ who just want to get their people to rescue them. […]
Power Girl: Power Trip by Geoff Johns, Justin Gray, Jimmy Palmiotti, Amanda Conner and Paul Mounts (graphic novel review).
It took a while to find a copy of ‘Power Girl: Power Trip’ at a decent low price. Starting this graphic novel, it became obvious that this is the start of one of her DC Universe realities, although on Earth-1 than Earth-2 where she originally started. She is also confused, first thinking she’s Superman’s cousin […]
Torpedo 1936 (comic-book review).
Ed and Jim settle in for a professional review of Torpedo 1936, the Spanish comics series written by Enrique Sánchez Abulí and illustrated by Jordi Bernet, which opened up its pages on the adventures of Luca Torelli, a cold and rather nasty hitman anti-hero, and his sidekick Rascal, set in the rip-roaring Tommy Gun-toting gangster […]

Harley Quinn Vol. 6: Black, White And Red All Over by Amanda Conner, Jimmy Palmiotti, John Timms and Chad Hardin (graphic novel review).
In case anyone thinks I’m losing track, ‘Harley Quinn Vol. 6: Black, White And Red All Over’ reprints Harley Quinn # 26-30 from 2016. Now here’s an oddity, there’s only one real side-plot and it looks like it’ll finish in the next volume. I don’t think that was intentional, only by the limit of issues […]
Harley Quinn Vol. 4: Surprise, Surprise by Jimmy Palmiotti, Amanda Conner, John Timms and Alex Sinclair (graphic novel review).
No, you’re not mistaken. I’ve read volume 5 before volume 4 of the ‘DC Universe Rebirth’ of Harley Quinn. I didn’t realise it until I found it in my pile of books. Despite my comment that this series of graphic novels is like following a super-hero soap opera, I hadn’t realised I missed a book. […]
Creating a comic-book, 1970s style (video).
The Amazing World of Superman slips under Ed and Jim’s professional gaze for an exploration of how comic-books were written, drawn, and pre-pressed before printing in the 1970s. A veritable time-capsule, guys.
Alex Toth’s Bravo For Adventure Artist Edition (comic-book review).
Ed and Jim examine the fabulous Alex Toth’s Bravo For Adventure Artist Edition in this video. Feast your peepers on this Artist’s Edition – a virtual “how-to” course in drawing comics the Toth way. We see how Alex Toth would draw all the detail in a scene, only to black it out in order to […]

With a title like ‘Vote Harley’, it’s a sure bet who has entered the race to become New York’s mayor. When Harley Quinn hits hard at the local crime scene, it all leads back to the mayor’s office and she is determined to kick him out the legal way and his illegal operations with him. […]
