They collect all of the original Marvel Transformers comics, with the US and UK stories interspersed to more or less replicate the original Marvel UK reading order.

The final book contains the “out of…Read more

I don’t do piracy.

The physical product can be high end even if the repro inside is poorer. Not sur…Read more

As one of the backers on this project, I spent a stupid amount of money on it. I have a crazy amount of nostalgia for these comics and I’ve barely read a third of them. As this was the only viable option for me to acquire this collection in a timely manner and for a reasonable price, I was happy to do so. And, I remain happy to d…Read more

Power Fantasy is great though. Loving it.

The harem added nothing. Absolutely nothing. Sending Kal here to conquer the world was already sufficient to tarnish his reputation and that of his Kryptonian parents. Why go a step further to imply sexual assault and…Read more

There were bits I liked. Bits that made me smile. And a moment or two that I loved.

There were equally bits I disliked (I could have done without every single one of the Justice Gang) and one bit I hated (and I’m really surprised that more people aren’t losing their shit over that – it was much worse tha…Read more

I’ve read and love the UK chronology between Target: 2006 and Time Wars, but actually read very little else of the Marvel material. So I think I’m in for the UK Compendiums, but I’d be…Read more

America is a bloody masterpiece. Start with that.

The Apocalypse War is an event story. It’s big and bold, and action packed, but it doesn’t really have the nuance of the best Dredd. That being said it’s arguably the best Dredd event book. Certainly top three.

There are l…Read more

Warning: long and disturbing. I feel quite sick now. However this plays out it’s going to be difficult to read any of his work again.

The book felt like it lost its way after #100, but I really enjoyed “Fallen Grayson” too – it was a nice return to form for the series and a fun conclusion to the Taylor/ Redondo run on the book.

I enjoyed it. It’s got a great set of artists. Be forewarned though that it doesn’t give you much in the way of answers at the end. Which you may or may not find annoying.

I do wonder what this will all mean for DC and Marvel. I guess we’ll never see Miracleman: The Dark Age now, but DC in…Read more

This one hits hard. I remember seeing his art for the first time, on a fill in issue of Ka-Zar. I remember thinking it was different, but certainly nothing special.

Over the years though his style evolved into…Read more

A nice way to catch up with the series, as the tpb only reprints the first two books. Book four starts in the Prog in September.

The Out is absolutely amazing, btw.

I got this one from Speedyhen for <£18 which I thought was quite reasonable for 10/11 issues worth of content.

I’m still less enthused by DC All In, but I’m curious to see what the October solicitations will bring.

I half expected Garth to play it for laughs, a la Jimmy’s Bastards, but he didn’t really. What humour there is…Read more

Far more excited about the rumoured…Read more
