‘Ian Fleming’s James Bond 007 #1’ Review (Dynamite)

by Dean Fuller

Written by Phillip Kennedy Johnson | Art by Marco Finnegan | Published by Dynamite Entertainment I must be on something of a subconscious James Bond kick at the moment. I’ve just finished re-watching the Daniel Craig Bond films, and then this book caught my eye. Dynamite’s had the rights to do James Bond for a […]

by Dean Fuller

Written by Phillip Kennedy Johnson, Si Spurrier | Art by Dale Eaglesham, Ian Churchill | Published by DC Comics I had an argument not long ago with a friend of mine who tried to persuade me that there were simply no new stories about Superman left to tell. I’m a huge Superman fan of course, […]

Disney of course bought 20th Century Fox, who own the Alien franchise, and it probably didn’t […]

‘Tales From the Dark Multiverse: Batman Hush #1’ Review

by Dean Fuller

Written by Phillip Kennedy Johnson | Art by Dexter Soy | Published by DC Comics I’ve been dipping into these Dark Multiverse books and crossovers for a while now, and as you would expect they have been of mixed quality. Generally, though, they’ve hit more home runs than strikes. The positive thing is that as […]
