I’m a couple of weeks late with my review of this one, so most of what there is to be said about it has been said elsewhere by other people. But there are a couple of things that I don’t *think* anyone else has touched upon. A couple of years ago, on his register-to-read, only-posted-to-twice [...]

Return Of Bruce Wayne 2 was a bit good, wasn’t it? Almost a fifth issue of Klarion in look, with Frazer Irving getting to draw lots more grumpy Puritans, albeit this time living above ground and human, rather than the Sheeda we now have an ‘infestation of Hyperfauna’ – Cthuloid monsters attacking from outside normal [...]

So, after that semi-enforced break, I’m here to talk about Batman. I’ve promised that I’ll review every Batman title Grant Morrison writes until the end of the Return Of Bruce Wayne storyline, but in truth RoBW #1 gives rather little for a writing-focussed reviewer such as myself (I simply don’t have the critical vocabulary to [...]

Shame about Alex Chilton. One of the greats gone… Via Tez Burke, here’s a five-CD set of ‘toytown music’, that style of English baroque pop which combined piccolo trumpets and lyrics about toy soldiers and childhood. Follow the rapidshare links but also have a look at their notes. This contains all the usual suspects (The [...]

I’ve spent the last week working on PEP!-related stuff, but I’ve now sent the final text out to all contributors. All that remains is to get any last-minute changes from them, and get it typeset, so I can start posting here again. Today’s only going to be a linkblog, because my wife is a Vikings [...]

This one’s going to be quite a short one, and more of a rant than a coherent statement. Put simply, I am sick of comics reviewers referring to Grant Morrison’s work (and various others like him) as being post-modernist in some way. In a way, it’s an understandable claim – Morrison is clearly extremely influenced [...]

Some of you might have noticed that I occasionally talk about a comic writer called Grant Morrison – I may have mentioned him once or twice on here. The reason I talk about Morrison so much is that, more than any other writer I know of, he manages to deal with a whole ton of [...]

“The only thing I can think of to do in that situation is what I usually do, which is lie and pretend I totally meant that to happen all along. Like, instead of a real gun, it’s a magic crime-solving gun, and how I always knew Despero’s secret plan was to take over the universe. [...]

Some of the material in this post may feel a little familiar to some of you. If it does, it’s because I actually made an abortive start on this series of posts last year (or what a series of posts on these ideas would have been by me last year), inspired by Bot’swana Beast’s magnificent [...]
