Comic Journal: Absolute Batman #12

  Dear Journal I was straight up giddy to be handed the latest issue in the Absolute Batman series, one that proves that the Dark Knight is the best superhero in any universe. Issue 11 left us with the ominous scene of Bain standing over Batman's closest circle of friends, who, in the regular universe, positioned themselves as his greatest foes. I guess it just goes to show that Bain is positioned against Bruce, no matter which timeline they traverse, although this time, he shows that there's more than one way to break a bat beyond bending a back.  In one go, Bain becomes the common origin source for The Penguin, Two-Face, Croc, and the Riddler, and what a way to do it. Halt, hear all ye squeamish ninnies, the visuals from #12 will give you nightmares, but the response from Batman and Alfred has me salivating, and while the entrance of a very cool looking Cat Woman was welcome, it's Joker's (hopeful) entry that I'm hoping and holding out for. Now what to read whil...

Discover Wolverine’s Next Chapter: A Collector's Essential!"

  Wolverine: The Undisputed Icon of the X-Men When it comes to familiarity and indeed, popularity, Wolverine stands head and shoulders above all of the X-Men - voted most likely to succeed in the yearbook, and mimicked the world over with several children, myself once included, shoving pencils in the spaces between our fingers to imitate the unmistakable adamantium claws of this ferocious warrior. Ultimate Wolverine #1 cuts an imposing figure with the yellow and black tights that Logan so often adorned, replaced with a slightly more menacing black and red outfit, arranged into the foreboding and ominous red star of the so-called Eurasian Republic.   East vs. West: A Mutant Cold War Indeed, from what can be inferred from some of the pages, the X-men have been divided into the good ol’ fashioned East vs. West rivalry, with the aforementioned republic placing mutants such as Colossus at the forefront of a brainwashing program to weaponise the immortal Wolverine. Logan’s memories ...

Splash-Page Spotlight: Spectregraph

  "...Beautiful, Isn't It"    I believe an explanation is in order concerning the splash-page spotlight section. Anytime the mood strikes, and a particular splash-page from a comic and/or graphic novel invokes strong emotions within, I hope to share them as inspiration and heap praise upon the talented artist that conjured them up.  This particular piece comes from the comic, Spectregraph , written by James Tynion IV in collaboration with artist, Christian Ward. A bone tingling graphic horror novel on one excentric's quest to create ghost, and unlock the secrets of eternity. Some serious 13 Ghosts vibes from this one, and this particular Splash-Page so perfectly capturing the dark and myterious tones of this offering.  The naivety of the real estate agent augments the ominous feel of the book, in conjunction with the well balanced use of black, blue and grey colours. A title not to be missed, and one certainly worth pre-ordering now.
