Indie Spotlight - Hardcore Hare #1

Rob checks out Hardcore Hare #1 from Caulkhead Comics… When long time supporter - and all round legend - Andrw Sawyers  reached out in regards to checking out a comic he’s had the fortune to draw the variant cover for - I couldn’t say no. Since starting Geek Culture Reviews, Andrw has been a great advocate for the blog, and along with fellow 77’ alumni, Dave Heeley , was a voice that spurred me on to creating GCR after my split from Flickering Myth. So to say that I owe Sawyers more than one favour is a bit of an understatement. Plus he’s a mate, and after all it’s what mates do!  Anyway, Hardcore Hare is the debut comic from writer Dan Digby , and artist Lee Benstead . This opening issue asks the simple question of “Where is Shylock?”, to then proceed to get its answers with plenty of gratuitous violence. With a story that feels a lot like Watchmen mixed with Kick-Ass, and garnished with a splash of Sun Ciry, Hardcore Hare sets off to a good start.  Underneath a strikin...

Geek Culture Reviews Re:Play - Episode #1: Kunai For this episode of Re:Play I decided to revisit Kunai - a Metroidvania, action-shooter, that's developed by TurtleBlaze ... Kunai ‘s story is a simple one. Humanity stands on the brink of collapse due to its machine creations becoming self-aware and has decided that Humanity is the main threat to its existence (que the Terminator theme). The survivors of this apocalypse have begun to fight back and a few of the sentient machines have joined their aid. One such machine called “Tabby”, an emote-wearing-ninja-tablet is that stands in the way of the machines total victory.  Yes, Kunai is The Terminator ,  Metroid , Castlevania and a Smart Phone, all thrown into a blender. The protagonist of this world is Tabby who is a tablet computer that knows ninjitsu and it is it’s a quest to stop the A.I. uprising and save what’s left of Humanity. Kunai 's world is made up of different regions that feature many CRT-headed enemi...

Comic Book Review - The Terminator #1

Skynet failed in terminating John Connor, but it has a few more plans up its cybernetic sleeves…  Fresh from his stint with the Xenomorph in Marvel’s Aliens , writer Declan Shalvey takes on another icon of 80’s cinema. This time he swaps acid blood for cold, hard steel as we get a new entry in the Terminator franchise. With Skynet’s war on the Connors dead in the water, the insidious artificial intelligence has developed a new way of terminating humanity by targeting the human resistance before Judgement Day even happened. With Terminators sent through time to various time zones, the war of the future is happening in the past. With time literally on Skynet’s side, will anyone survive to take the fight into the future?  Straight off the bat, Shalvey gives us an opening narrative that throws a curveball to established Terminator lore. Taking place in 2018 we see a lush green environment that’s a far cry from the desolate wastelands that are synonymous with the series. Here, it...
