Comic Book Review - Carnage #4

Rob reviews Carnage #4... The last few issues of Carnage  have been exactly that - "carnage". Ram V and Francesco Manna have taken the character and literally, let him loose on both Hydro-Man and The Spot with some pretty brutal results. With no visible end in sight, Carnage has now set its murderous gaze on to the Nine Realms - and the first port of call is the elvish realm of Svartalfheim.  Carnage #4 picks off straight where the previous issue ended. With Carnage now seemingly possessing both Hydro-Man and The Spot's powers, he's opened the doorway between realms. Whilst Carnage heads off to Svartalfheim, Detective Shayde (and his slither of Carnage; Cletus) are trapped somewhere in-between time and space. As the two narratives head in their directions, Shayde has his eyes open to the much larger 'Spider-Verse'.  Dubbed 'A Wild Hunt', Carnage's side of this story focuses on its quest to slay a god. Whereas previous issues focused o...

Retrospective: How Five Nights at Freddy’s Quietly Redefined Horror Games

It has been over a decade since Five Nights at Freddy’s first flickered onto our screens, quietly released on August 8, 2014, by a relatively unknown indie developer named Scott Cawthon. At the time, it seemed like just another quirky horror game in the ever-growing pile of let’s play bait on Steam. A game where you sit still in a security office and monitor malfunctioning animatronics through grainy security feeds? Sounds niche, right? Yet here we are, several games, books, and a big-screen adaptation later, and FNaF (as it’s now colloquially known) is no longer just a one-hit wonder. It is a full-blown pop culture phenomenon, having influenced the indie horror space more than perhaps any other series in recent memory. Looking back now, it is easy to forget just how strange and refreshing the original game was when it first released — and how much of its DNA can still be felt in the genre today. The Horror of Helplessness What made the original Five Nights at Freddy’s so different fro...

Comic Book Review - Cosmic Debris #2

Rob reviews Cosmic Debris #2… Back in November 2022, ChronoCat creator Stu Perrins teamed up once again with publisher Markosia to bring us, Space Debris. Weaving an interesting story of assassins, dashing debonairs, and clueless rogues, Perrins (along with artist John E. Murphy ) set off on a madcap adventure across the universe. With inspiration from the likes of Star Wars, and Flash Gordon, Perrins then adds in a dash of Guardians of the Galaxy and Space Balls for a truly interesting take on the classic sci-fi tale.  And with things set to get weirder, let’s rejoin Randall Crux, and Scarlett O’Hara… Thrown reluctantly back together in their search of infamous space assassin Shrek Orlock, Crux and O’Hara find themselves at a loss as to the sly assassins whereabouts. Heading to the planet Skeat (home to floating volcanoes), the duo go in search of an old friend of Crux, who has some unique talents. With the ability to see into people’s dreams, the Dreamweaver Newton Shaw is the ...
