Nothing to Dredd here!

Advantages: Zarjazz!
Disadvantages: no longer publishes Starlord

Having read 2000AD from its birth in 1977 to the present day it is refreshing that the comic has survived so long. Having also read a number of US comics its clear to see how 2000AD's Britishness has ensured it maintain its position as the number one UK anthology of science fiction. Its serialised stories also cover the genres of horror and speculative fiction. Its closest parallel is probably the DC series The Invisibles in terms of these, but few ...

Review of Judge Dredd

Slides Right Into Home!

Advantages: well chosen text, clean drawings, enagaging storyline with meaning
Disadvantages: impatient child awaiting the sequels

...girls. This title is called Ninja Baseball Kyuma. I have to admit that though I myself am a huge manga fan, the title gave me a bit of a pause. Ninjas..okay...but baseball? Baseball is slowly becoming popular amongst youths here, but let's face it, it is not that common in Britain, so I was a bit unsure on whether my nonsporty son would even be interested. He however insisted that Charlie Brown and the gang play baseball so he knows about baseball ...
...in order to master the ninja arts. The day comes for him to seek his master, whereupon he encounters a boy who looking for new players for a baseball team. Not comprehending modern life nor knowing anything about what baseball is, Kyuma mistakenly believes that the boy is asking him to come train in some new ninja art and defend his clan. The storyline then follows Kyuma and the other players as Kyuma struggles to adapt to modern life, make friends, ...

The history of Wolverine

Advantages: Some great moments
Disadvantages: Nothing special, confusing artwork

...Having seen the recent film Wolverine: Origins, I was wondering whether it would be the same, but it's completely different. It harkens back to when Wolverine was a child named James, a sheltered son of a wealthy family, and it develops his life as an outcast following deaths, as he flees with Rose, who is also blamed for the deaths. The story develops somewhat, as Wolvie grows a bit older, and it is the tale that is quite enticing here, how he ...
...Canada, frced to fend for himself, and how the development of his name Logan, and nickname Wolverine came about. The story also develops his relationship with wolves and how he came to use his claws, which protrude from his knuckles whenever he finds himself needing an extra defence. I found the story to be a bit hard to get hold of to start with. Written by Bill Jemas, it is well developed, but confusing to start with. The artwork doesn't help, ...

The mutant school staff have to deal with a bit of evolution in t

Advantages: Brave storytelling that works
Disadvantages: Artwork hard to get used to

...relationships among the group to new levels. It is perhaps the unfamiliar here that took me a while to get used to. The plot is quite a good one, that sees familiar territory with a couple of X-Men out on a mission (Wolverine and Cyclops) to rescue a mutant, who come across a force almost too powerful to contain. The Sentinels (machines created to destroy mutants) rear their heads, but it is the control of Xavier lookalike Cassandra Nova who poses ...
...the freindly neighbourhood webslinger, the new millenium saw a bit of a drop in quality, until someone (Morrison) decided to grab the mutants by the balls (pardon my French) and give them a bit of an uplift. The line 'The X-Men, like us, know loss' written in the margin of Morrison's notes at the end of the issue, say it all. We must take whatever has happened in previous issues and go with it. Evolve, and that is what this isue is all about. The ...
