Star Trek Spock: Reflections
Star Trek Spock: Reflections Graphic Novel Collection Volume 04 First appearing in 2009 as a four issue mini-series and released as a graphic novel collection from IDW at the start of the following year, the first thing to say about Spock: Reflections is that it is an enjoyable read. And yes, I’ll get to the ‘but’ in a moment. It is written by Scott Tipton and David Tipton, with layouts by David Messina and inked by...
Star Trek: The Next Generation – Hive
Star Trek: The Next Generation Hive Graphic Novel Collection Volume 03 I had really only intended to comment on the first couple of volumes of the Eaglemoss Collection of Star Trek graphic novels; but I’m finding them weirdly addictive. As mentioned previously, I wouldn’t be a huge Trek fan outside of the movies, although I seem to have absorbed more info than I had thought, probably through a form of osmosis mixed with sheer...
Star Trek : The City on the Edge of Forever
Star Trek Harlan Ellison®’s The City on the Edge of Forever The Original Teleplay Sooooo…here we have the second volume in the Eaglemoss Collection of Star Trek graphic novels.

The overall package and presentation is indeed once again simply...

Yet I wouldn’t go particularly out of my way to catch one of the many small-screen incarnations that this extraordinarily endurable social phenomenon has spawned. And I have certainly never entertained even the notion of reading the adventures of the Trekkers in comic...
Alan Moore’s Voice of the Fire
Anticipating Jerusalem: Alan Moore’s Voice of the Fire Alan Moore is a phenomenon. Although I don’t read him as religiously as I once did, the man himself – and his astonishing talent with words! – has fascinated me since I first ‘discovered’ him at the helm of the re-imagining of Swamp Thing in the 80s. I also admire him for the manner in which he has maneuvered himself into a position where he can afford to live just as he pleases...
The Chronicles of Conan Volume 14: Shadow of the Beast And Other Stories
The Chronicles of Conan Volume 14: Shadow of the Beast And Other Stories This final piece is an overview rather than a review and therefore contains spoilers galore. The Moon-Eaters of Darfur (issue #108 of Marvel’s Conan the Barbarian) opens on a miserable, rain driven and stormy landscape as the Cimmerian heads north of the Kushite capital of Meroê, leaving behind a city in the throes of full-blown upheaval. With him is the...
