Comic Book Review – Once & Future #15

by

Calum Petrie reviews Once & Future #15… As we step back into this beautifully drawn and coloured story, we pick up where the last issue left off. We have Rose at gunpoint from “Nimue”, Duncan’s mother, while across the country Bridgette and Duncan are investigating the old family house for clues. This issue certainly put […]

Comic Book Review – Second Coming: Only Begotten Son #1

by

Calum Petrie reviews Second Coming: Only Begotten Son #1… Do you know the origins of Superman? I would hope you do if you are reading a comic book review, and Second Coming starts off like the beginnings of the Man of Steel. The only difference is that instead of a wise and technologically advanced species, […]

Comic Book Review – Cyberpunk 2077: Trauma Team #4

by

Calum Petrie reviews Cyberpunk 2077: Trauma Team #4… The Trauma Team series so far has been a rather tense affair. The main character of Nadia has been on an emotional rollercoaster, and the short but frantic journey that the reader has been taken on has been enjoyable, if not horrific. The three previous issues have […]

Comic Book Review – Hellboy and The B.P.R.D – Her Fatal Hour & The Sending

by

Calum Petrie reviews Hellboy and The B.P.R.D – Her Fatal Hour & The Sending… This wonderfully crafted double issue is a short but densely compacted lesson in powerful storytelling. Mike Mignola and Tiernen Trevallion have built an entire universe of the dark, twisted and the macabre, and have made it utterly compelling to explore. The […]

Comic Book Review – Stranger Things and Dungeons & Dragons #2

by

Calum Petrie reviews Stranger Things and Dungeons & Dragons #2… The first issue of Stranger Things and Dungeons & Dragons certainly focused a lot more on the later half of the title’s second element, and come the start of the second issue, the story in Hawkins has progressed a lot further than I had imagined […]

Comic Book Review – The Witcher: Fading Memories #1

by

Calum Petrie reviews The Witcher: Fading Memories #1… When it comes to The Witcher, it will be very hard to find someone who has not come into some kind of contact with the brand. The phenomenon from Andrzej Sapkowski was originally a concept of his own creation. The idea of characters from folk lore and […]

Comic Book Review – Once & Future #13

by

Calum Petrie reviews Once & Future #13… A new arc begins in this modern medieval hybrid, where gun toting grannies go toe to toe with Beowulf, Grendel and many other creatures from mythology and folklore. The adventures of Duncan, his Gran and Rose are back onto the path of investigation rather then being the victims […]

Comic Book Review – Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Song of Glory #2

by

Calum Petrie reviews Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Song of Glory #2… Sure enough as a new Assassin’s Creed game launches, we are being greeted with world building in the form of an extended universe – here in this case, comic books. The Assassin’s Creed franchise has coped extremely well from the comic book universe, allowing a […]
