Oliver Davis reviews Prophet #45… “FINAL ISSUE OF PROPHET! The War in Space reaches its climax, but the story will continue…” Captain Qwest begins speaking, and occassional words are in closed brackets. There’s no explanation for what this means; does the fox-like being whisper? Are those words communicated telepathically? It’s one of the many maddeningly […]

Oliver Davis reviews East of West #14… “‘WARBOUND. The Endless Nation makes the first cut in the carcass once called America. The Apocalypse marches on in EAST OF WEST #14.” Again, East of West jumps from one storyline last issue to a different one here. Sometimes, several months could go by without us ever hearing […]

The Flickering Myth writing team give their thoughts on the leaked Deadpool test footage… Perhaps the biggest surprise coming out of San Diego Comic-Con was the leaked test footage for the long-gestating Deadpool movie, directed by Tim Miller and featuring voice work by Ryan Reynolds. It was taken down, put back up, taken back down […]

Laura McCarthy reviews All-New Ghost Rider #5… ‘ENGINES OF VENGEANCE’ It’s the fight you’ve been waiting for: GHOST RIDER VS. a modified MR. HYDE. ROBBIE REYES’ violent neighborhood has become a full-blown urban battlefield. Can he save it? Will he want to? All-out action and a twist that will hit you at a 100mph!

Scar Tissue, 2013 Written and directed by Scott Michell Starring Danny Horn, Charity Wakefield, Kenneth Colley, Daniel Fraser, Mark Cameron, Shaun Digwall and Imogen Bain SYNOPSIS: A young man is stalked by a serial killer who supposedly died decades ago. Imagine watching a thriller that is heavily based in reality with a gritty, grounded vibe. It’s […]

1997’s Con Air is a bit of a cult favourite among action movie fans (and here at Flickering Myth). It wasn’t a runaway success, but at $224 million worldwide, it’s surprising that a sequel never materialised. In 2011, director Simon West did say that a sequel was in the works, but it obviously led to nothing. However, […]

Oliver Davis reviews 2000AD’s Prog #1892… Borag thungg, Earthlets! This week’s Prog has diner-based showdowns, Albert Einstein-lookalikes, many trolls a’slayed and that niche, strange Eastern religion called Christianity. But first, we start at the beginning. Even more at the beginning than usual – the cover. What a lovely display by Judge Dredd artist Colin MacNeil. […]

Trevor Hogg chats with Shane Weisfeld about The Karate Kid, perseverance, and developing a cool idea into a movie… “I was born in 1974 so I was able to be influenced by the birth of the blockbuster, and then the birth of renting movies,” states Shane Weisfeld who watched the classics of the 1970s on […]

Perhaps one of the most shocking tidbits of the troubled Ant-Man from last weekend’s Comic-Con (read the footage report here) was that the script still wasn’t ready. But its new director Peyton Reed (Yes Man) is still very optimisitc about the project since taking over from fan-favourite Edgar Wright (The World’s End). In an interview […]

While promoting Guardians of the Galaxy (read our two ★★★★ reviews here and here and our podcast review here), Vin Diesel spoke about the […]
