Comic Book Review – BRZRKR #3

by

Calum Petrie reviews BRZRKR #3… Issues #1 and #2 of this new series left me feeling a little hollow and uninspired, which seems sacrilegious to say when Keanu Reeves is involved. I have found BRZRKR filled with combat and action yet lacking in some original storytelling that would grip me and have me waiting for […]

Comic Book Review – The Many Deaths of Laila Starr #2

by

Calum Petrie reviews The Many Deaths of Laila Starr #2… The Many Deaths of Laila Starr received rave reviews and numerous reprints of its debut issue, which is only fair as it tells a wonderfully colourful story containing every moral grey area. The story is based around the goddess of death and her recent unemployment, as […]

Video Game Review – Dark Nights with Poe and Munro

by

Calum Petrie reviews Dark Nights with Poe and Munro… D’avekki Studios have an extremely impressive line up of FMV games under their belts. This studio first came to my attention when I was sent a review code for The Shapeshifting Detective, a charming and atmospheric game about murder and deception. After that I was drawn […]

Comic Book Review – Critical Role: Vox Machina Origins Vol. 3 #2

by

Calum Petrie reviews Critical Role: Vox Machina Origins Vol. 3 #2… As we return to Exandria, the legends of Vox Machina grow more righteous (or notorious) by the day. The future heroes of Tal’dorei are still relatively early on in their story, and yet that does not mean that their journey is any less entertaining. […]

Comic Book Review – Lady Baltimore: The Witch Queens #2

by

Calum Petrie reviews Lady Baltimore: The Witch Queens #2… Issue #2 of The Witch Queens series throws us plenty of story, action and character development from the word go. This latest issue in the Lady Baltimore series offers an insight into the world of Lord Baltimore and the part he played in this world at […]

Comic Book Review – Once & Future #18

by

Calum Petrie reviews Once & Future #18… The final issue in Once & Future’s third arc throws us right into the middle of the fray, where Merlin has been hatching a long running plan. Bridgette, Duncan and everyone else appear to be nothing more than pawns on the board at any given moment. The threat […]

Comic Book Review – Cyberpunk 2077: You Have My Word #1

by

Calum Petrie reviews Cyberpunk 2077: You Have My Word #1… Night City is an extremely complicated place, a city ruled by corporations and gangs, and police barely get a say in the running of things. The city is a living organism that is fuelled by economy, civilisation and crime, which is a good thing that […]

Comic Book Review – Young Hellboy: The Hidden Land #3

by

Calum Petrie reviews Young Hellboy: The Hidden Land #3… Issue #3 of this bizarre caper takes us from the strange and the alien, straight into the darkness and horror. This penultimate issue ramps up the story, action and events to turn this naïve tale of a younger Hellboy into a tale with consequences – and […]

Comic Book Review – Dragon Age: Dark Fortress #1

by

Calum Petrie reviews Dragon Age: Dark Fortress #1… The expansive and deep world of Dragon Age is a joy to delve into, and any chance to submerge myself in more history, lore and mythology from this property can only be a good thing. Originally a video game released in 2009, Dragon Age: Origins was a […]
