So...


...my output is about to dramatically dip. However, this is due to relocation. I’ve been invited to contribute as a staff writer to geeksunleashed.me. So far I’ve written three advanced reviews, namely for The Creep #1, Conan The Barbarian #8 and Tomorrow Jones #1, as well as a review of Tempest by Bob Dylan and a possible S.H.I.E.L.D. TV series - all in my first week. It’s incredible exciting; I’m hoping for a long and fruitful relationship. This week I shall pick the Comic of the Week, which I can reveal as Mind MGMT #5. See you there

Fashion Beast #1



Fashion Beast, I’m assured, is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast in a dystopian future under the threat of nuclear winter. It’s the comic book adaptation, by long time collaborator Johnston, of an unpublished, unfilmed screenplay by Moore and McLaren, architect of the Sex Pistols, beautifully illustrated by Percio. James Baldwin once wrote ‘love takes off the masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within’ and this will no doubt be realised over the course of the next 9 issues. This first issue, however, is too brief a glimpse of things to come.

Rating ** (bust)

Think Tank #2

- Matt Hawkins (@topcowmatt) & Rahsan Ekedal (@RahsanEkedal)

This issue of the excellent Think Tank is more character driven and benefits from it. Loren is now (thankfully) more sympathetic, whilst remaining devious, and is fulfilling his potential as one of Top Cow/Image’s best new characters. I’m hopeful that the series is a soapbox for Hawkins – a commentary on the ills of science and the military-industrial-government complex. On a lighter note, Hawkins delivers another powerful cliff-hanger, whilst Ekedal’s art amazes again (I tactfully withdraw my comment regards colour, which I made in my review of #1). Excitingly, the series has been expanded to run for at least 10 issues!

Rating **** (stick)
