3 Best Wolverine Moments

14 07 2008

Latest Alternate Cover column sees me choosing my 3 favourite Wolverine moments, then calling them the “best three” in order to stimulate some rage in the reading public. The thing I learnt from writing this article: over 12 years after buying Wolverine #99 from a small WH Smiths in Wales, I still have never read Wolverine #100. How wrong is that?

Alternate Cover: Manga for Comics Fans

24 06 2008

Frustrated with how some people call themselves Manga fans or Comics fans and then never the twain shall they meet, I have taken it upon myself to recommend some manga with crossover appeal. Next week, the same, but in reverse.

Guaranteed to alter your popularity forever!

Alternate Cover: Why Ang Lee’s Hulk Doesn’t Rule

2 06 2008

This week’s column on Den of Geek is about Ang Lee’s Hulk film, and a few reasons why it was rubbish, even from the perspective of a comics fan. It’s titled as a response/companion to John Moore’s “Why Ang Lee’s Hulk Rules” although it was pure coincidence the two went up on the same day!

Alternate Cover: 5 Comics Deaths that’ll stick

27 05 2008

With all kinds of characters repeatedly coming back to life in comics, I write about 5 deaths that you can be certain aren’t ever going to get reversed. Probably.

Alternate Cover: A Shared Universe

19 05 2008

With the rumours of Marvel Studios creating a shared universe for their films in advance of an Avengers feature all-but-confirmed, I ask just exactly what the benefit of this is going to be.

13 05 2008

Ever fancy reading a tiredness-fuelled rant about how the comics industry lets people from the movies walk all over them out of some bizarre self-loathing? Of course you do! Here it is.

Alternate Cover: Iron Man - from films to comics

6 05 2008

This week’s column is inspired by the release of the Iron Man movie and the usual comics evangelism any fan has. If you’ve seen the Iron Man movie, this will hopefully bridge the gap between the film and the comics, telling you where the movie characters are in the comic universe, and what comics you should actually be looking for on the shelves.
