Luke Owen on the latest issue of Godzilla: The Half Century War… I said in my Godzilla Issue #6 review that Godzilla: The Half Century War was getting a lot of praise from critics and fans alike and to be honest, I didn’t quite get it at first. One review I read of Issue #1 […]

Luke Graham reviews the latest 2000 AD prog… Prog 1807 is a very special issue of 2000AD. Not to give too much away, but it was the first time in my reading of the comic where the strips… crossed over.

So this latest story arc with the Ghost Smashers is a welcome change of pace. I’ve always enjoyed Ghostbusters comics that remind me of the brilliance of The Real […]

Luke Owen on the latest issue of Godzilla… While IDW’s other Godzilla series – The Half Century War – continues to amass praise from fans and critics alike, the regular on-going series is still going strong even if it can be fairly hit and miss.
