That is a perfect comparison! God damn that film and the character of Pin Head are just perfect. In just a few lines, with almost no movement or flapping around (like most of the other ‘monsters’ from back in the day) he just commands authority and menace. He had absolute confidence in his own power and therefore…

Peace and love.x

Move the character back up the age range and I might give it a go. Another show about another attractive bunch of kids with no personalities that moan all the time is dull. Dawson’s Creek with vampires. Now a seasoned professor who hunts down Vampires? A female take on the Anthony Hopkins character from Bram Stokers?…

Against all my better judgment, all the times I’ve picked up a Deadpool comic and thought ‘urgh’, all the times I’ve been sorting boxes of comics and come across a chunk of Rob Liefield’s and had to wash my hands ... this film really is one than I’m actually looking forward to!
Ryan Reynolds and their marketing team…

After an amazing trailer lets just leave as much as we can a mystery - they’ve shown us a lot but so far there’s still loads we don’t know. Which is absolutely a good thing! Enjoy the not knowing - ignore the soulless bloggers who are paid to spoil things and just wait until Christmas.

I’ll happily second that! I loved them both - super gross! (and clearly not for everyone!) I’m not really a fan of the illustration but it somehow fits perfectly with these stories. From what I’ve read the difference with Providence is that it’s Alan Moore’s goal to bring all of Lovecraft’s ‘universe’ together. All…

Charlie, you should try out Alan Moore’s Providence comic. It’s a slow burn but it’s got so many cleaver touches. It’s Alan writing directly about the difficult parts of Lovecraft’s personal prejudices, (which were pretty much the same as most white, middle class, christian american men of that period) and smashing…

Buy them both! Seriously great artists on both books and Warren Ellis can write anything and make it amazing. Moon Knight for example was a character I didn’t really care about until he proved me wrong - and I certainly don’t care about the inhumans but I trust him enough to pick up Karnak. Hell, simply on his talent…

What the hell did anyone think the character was good for, if not something like this? The way I see it you have basically three options with a character draped in a countries bloody flag! - Write a broad political satire. Write some broad political propaganda. Or write a personal story/commentary about the…

You’re bang on the money - Hellblazer, one of the best and often the freakiest the comic ever written! I really hope you’re enjoying it so far! Keep at it, it just keeps on getting better - enjoy:)

My god, what a dreadful and shameless display! Anyone that buys those is a... Well the Star Wars ones are ok. Interesting. It seems even I have a weakness, damn me:)x

Wow. This has to be a parody or a piss take, right? So Constantine gets canned and the universe thinks something like this deserves a chance instead? You suck universe.

That’s awesome, there’s so many different theories about how the city got it’s name! That would also explain why even if the Mabinogion was a collection of far older oral texts there are bits and bobs that have changed. Changes from one language to another always seems to be an excuse to add some ‘extra’ details!…

That Wonder Woman rumour does sound pretty damn great doesn’t it? I think that was my only fear for the WW film - how can it be different enough from every other superhero project for the general public to want to go see it? It sounds like they’ve nailed it. It’s also an interesting enough premise for the die hard…

Yeah supposedly pre-roman. King Lludd, son of Heli. When he died they named the place ‘Ludtonwn’ (from Caer Lud) and where he was buried became ‘Ludgate’ which is still there. The whole of the Mabinogion is worth a read, so is Geoffrey of Monmouth’s Histoy of the Kings of Britain - although I’d take all the stories in…

I guess that’s the problem right there - once you start dealing with what was originally an oral history things get very murky and unreliable. They also get really interesting! Anytime something is referenced as coming from the ‘bardic’ tradition there always needs to be a few pinches of salt! I’ve got another visit…

The Ravens story goes way further back. Check out the Mabinogion, the combination of the Red and White books. Back when the word ‘Welsh’ simply translated as ‘foreigner’ there was a Welsh King called Bran the Blessed. After all sorts of crazy shit he was nearly dead. His most loyal soldiers were ordered to cut off his…

Damn it! I didn’t know that Ashley Johnson was in this?! I wasn’t really interested in it before but if Ellie is in there then I’ll give it a try!

Yeah, I could see that making sense. He’s also one of the few great villains that they’ve had in the movies. He would easily show up anyone else he was put next to. Ultron might have had a voice like sexy chocolate but he was really badly handled. Muddled motives, yet another faceless horde etc. Bring back Loki.x

That’s some really great looking artwork! Fast and expressive. It bodes well for a street level action book. (and the new threads look great!) I especially like Luke’s suit, the flashier the better I say. Especially when they’re out on ‘business’. Now all I need is to see an epic Power Man, Iron Fist, Daredevil,…
