WYTCHES #1

Wytches from Image just started back in October but there was already a fair amount of buzz around it after the initial announcements it was on it’s way and with Scott Snyder writing & Jock on art there was good reason for that.

SWAMP THING #7 by Craig

It’s been a while since I did a DC New 52 review – to be honest I’ve found it difficult with some books to say something different about it from the last issue. This applies to good and bad books too – Batman has been stunning every single issue, but I’m betting most people will start to get bored of my endless enthusiasm for it and books like Detective Comics or Dark Knight aren’t getting any better (and again, would probably bore people as I continually refer to Scott Snyder’s Detective Comics and Batman New 52 as being so much better). There are some books though that do bring that something new and special each week, and if you hadn’t already realised, Swamp Thing delivered big time this week.

Is it too early to predict the best comic of 2012? Only 22 days in and I certainly have a contender – Batman #5. I’ll probably go as far to say that this whole series by Scott Snyder and Gregg Capullo will be one of the best stories of 2012 too. Haven’t started the Batman comic of the DCNew52? Where have you been?!

HIGHLIGHTS OF 2011 DAY 15 – BATMAN by Craig

COMICS ANONYMOUS TALKS TO JOCK by G-Man

Now you may know Jock from his recent run on Detective Comics with Scott Snyder, or you may know him from his work on The Losers with Andy Diggle.  As for me, I know him from his Green Arrow: Year One six-issue run with Mr Diggle.  We caught up with him at this year’s Thought Bubble amidst the hustle & bustle and in between his commissions work for the con (shown below). Here’s what we talked about.

SEVERED #1-3 by Craig

As you’ll have noticed from my recent reviews of Batman #1 & #2, I’ve become a bit of a fan of Scott Snyder of late. His work on pre-DCnew52 Detective Comics and Gates of Gotham was some of the best Batman writing I’ve seen in a long while, and his current performance on DCNew52 Batman is stellar. So in a bid to discover more of his work, I thought I’d pick up his relatively new Severed books to make sure that it wasn’t just a fluke.

Holy-Moly, this is one damn fine comic book, if not the best of the 52. Issue #1 wasn’t just a fluke, this series has the best two creators working in perfect harmony to create one of the best Batman stories in years.

I, VAMPIRE #1 by gillianhastie

At first glance, this book (with it’s unimaginative title) looks like it will rip-off stories told a dozen times in recent years. Vampires, love, lust, blood etc etc.  But give it just three pages and I’ll bet you a fiver it’ll be on your pull list next month.
