Did you know there is a film called Iron Man 2 coming out this May? Did you know that I love Iron Man? And if you’re not reading The Invincible Iron Man by Matt Fraction and Salvador Larroca then stop reading this review and go and order Invincible Iron Man Omnibus, Vol. 1, you will thank me. Are you wondering how these new toys are going to hold up for fans of Iron Man like myself? Are they better than the ones from the first film? This week we’re going to take a look at Iron Man Mark VI with Power-Up Glow

The content of alternative comics anthologies in the last ten years seems to be veering away from their (potentially offensive) underground roots. Instead, these collections seem to be reaching more towards the art gallery-centric world of the Pop Surrealism movement. For example, Blab! once regularly spotlighted cartoonists like Kaz, Daniel Clowes and Richard Sala. But now it reserves the most space for top names in the alternative art world like Gary Baseman, Mark Ryden and Camille Rose Garcia. All of these creators are equally...

I don’t know what to say, but all I can say for now is WOW. Here is the Iron Man 2 trailer that was aired straight after the Academy Awards. For those of you who’ve been living under a rock for the past year, here’s a brief synopsis of the film:
Robert Downey Jr. returns as Tony Stark, the wealthy playboy whose exploits as Iron Man are now public knowledge after his admission at the close of the first film. In the follow-up, Stark is pitted against his Russian arch nemesis, Whiplash (Mickey Rourke), and corporate...

So what do you get when you mix Doctor Who, Incognito,James Bond and a whole lot of mind altering drugs? Casanova Book 1: Luxuria by Matt Fraction and Gabrial Ba. Mind you I mean that in the nicest possible way, but this comic is quite an experience.
Rob and I have loved this book for a while so I thought I would use our new Book of the Month feature to force Simon to read it too. Good news is that Simon loved the book, well what he understood of it, well even the parts that he didn’t understand.
So join the gang as we...

Did you enjoy February’s book of the month, Casanova by Matt Fraction? Then look for the book of the month podcast that will be up later tonight. I also hope you enjoy March’s book of the month, as I have the pick this time around, and the book I chose is The Squirrel Machine.
I am not sure what this book is all about, as I only know that it’s by legendary cartoonist Hans Rickheit. So if you tend to enjoy something that is not from a big company, then you came to the right place! If you are only a fan of Marvel...
