Review: Madness & Monsters

“An epic set of Myths: Monsters, Madness, War, Betrayal, Redemption, Isolation and Forgiveness all with a deeply psychological steer” Madness & Monsters is a 132-page anthology graphic novel that’s been created by Laurence Alison. Alongside a very talented team of artists, colourists, and letterers, Alison takes us on an epic journey across six tales full of monsters, madness, forgiveness, war, and redemption. As of writing the graphic novel is currently seeking funding via the crowdfunding website Kickstarter. Currently, the campaign sits at 100 % funding with 16 days remaining - so there’s still plenty of time to secure your copy!

He's got all the charm and looks that someone who can manipulate minds would have. And he's also Cordelia Moonstone's ex. Aside from this revelation, Millar also touches upon Francis' internal struggle as he's still got his demons. We're then hit with a literal punch as we rejoin the Order as they tackle a particularly nasty monster in Chelmsford. What makes the Osedax gruesome is that it likes to eat the bones, blood, and guts of its prey. Not only that it strings up its victim's fl...

Rob reviews 2000 AD Prog 2289... After last week's break for another instalment of those special all-ages Regened Progs, Tharg is back - and he's brought a new Dredd story with him.  Kicking off this week is ' Special Relationship ' which sees Rob Williams and Patrick Goddard revisit those threads left behind from ' The Hard Way'. Joining Dredd is another return to Bulletopia as Dexter continues his solo outing, 'Reel One' ends as Hope...In The Shadows end its current arc. Rounding this trip into the Thrillverse off is yet more conspiracy theories in Brink  and everyone's favourite Skip Tracer.  Judge Dredd: Special Relationship - Part 1 . After the events seen within ' The Hard Way' , the Red Queen has vanished yet again, and the undersea Atlantis facility is currently being rebuilt. With tensions still running high under the Black Atlantic, the "special relationship" between Mega-City One and Brit-Cit is starting to fe...
