That is, until they hire a cocky new booking agent who […]
Comic Book Review – The Wicked + The Divine #21
Zeb Larson reviews The Wicket + The Divine #21… This is a throw-down issue of The Wicked + The Divine, pure and simple. We do learn more about Ananke’s plans and endgame in sacrificing Minerva, but it makes up a relatively small portion of this issue. Most of it is a good old-fashioned brawl between […]

Countdown to Spectre – Licence to Kill Review
Ricky Church continues his countdown to Spectre with a review of Licence to Kill… Timothy Dalton’s time as James Bond is short-lived as he makes his final appearance in his second film.

Comic Book Review – East of West #27
Mark Allen reviews East of West #27… “FINDING BABYLON” Death gets closer to finally reuniting with his son. East of West has had pacing issues for a while now, and issue #27 exemplifies them perfectly. Many of the lead characters are missing (contrary to the synopsis above, Death doesn’t actually feature in this issue whatsoever) and […]

Calum Petrie reviews Fragment of Him… When playing Fragments of Him, I found this to be less of a conventional computer game and more a lesson of storytelling. The game is based around the character of Will and the events that lead to the tragic accident that claims his life. The events mainly affect 3 people […]
