Rob reviews Mighty Morphin #15... The Eltarian War continues as the Rangers battle to save Earth from Zartus and his forces. However, not everyone is convinced that the Supreme Guardian is doing "the right thing". Meanwhile, there's a colossal confrontation on the Moon, as Zordon and Lord Zedd finally come to blows... As you can imagine from Inhyuk Lee 's cover, Power Rangers #15 doesn't pull any punches. Straight from the get-go, we're thrown into the action, and it doesn't let up until the final page. Yet even among the action, Ryan Parrott still delivers plenty of character-driven moments that's been the real core to both the Eltarian War and the previous Unlimited Power Era.  The narrative is somewhat calm this time around as we focus mainly on Zordon and Zedd, as well as the Rangers battle against Zartus and the Empyreal. First, off we're back into Zordon's past as the Supreme Guardian attempts to defend the planet Bivix agai...

Rob reviews 2000 AD Prog 2264... I'm a bit late to the party this week - blame the day job - but patience is a virtue...or so the saying goes.  Anyway, we're up to Prog 2264 and as such there's more continuations for the current  Judge Dredd, The Order, Kingmaker, and Proteus Vex strips .  But more importantly, we're bidding au revoir to The Out as Dan Abnett closes out this next chapter in the stunning sci-fi opera.  But first... Judge Dredd: Working Girl - Part 2 Mona's in the thick of it. She's short on cash and has taken a very risky job. One that's going to end in death, or a lengthy sentence in an Iso Cube - neither is ideal. Now she's soaring through the heights of MegaCity-1, with an H-Wagon in pursuit.  There's a lot of action here as Ken Niemand takes us on an adrenaline-fuelled thrill ride. This one got more twists and turns than a rollercoaster as Dredd chases Mona and her fellow Sky Surfers through the Meg.  The real star to...

Rob reviews The Sword of Hyperborea #1... From legendary Hellboy creator, Mike Mignola and 2000 AD and DC Comics writer, Rob Williams comes the history of the Hyperborea Sword and how it shaped both the B.P.R.D and the wider "Hellboyverse". Set over four issues,  The Sword of Hyperborea will focus on a different part of the sword's history as we follow its many different bearers as the sword passes through time, from Gall Dennar, Sir Edward Grey, and right up to its current bearer - B.P.R.D Agent Ted Howards. Kicking off issue #1  Mignola and Williams set us off on a journey of discovery - one that's full of familiar faces, and situations. The titular sword has always had an aura of mystery around it - and it's one that's never been fully explained. While this mini-series plans to uncover this mystery, this opening issue doesn't offer anything new (as such). If you're not familiar with the wider Hellboy world, the narrative here is a ...
