The neon colours & cartoony silhouettes create adrenaline-pumping fight scenes while maintaining a strong melancholy as Damian wanders alone.
The neon colours & cartoony silhouettes create adrenaline-pumping fight scenes while maintaining a strong melancholy as Damian wanders alone.
The art is full of charm, with a cartoony style and warm, vibrant colours that bring the shrouded cityscapes of Gotham to life.
Hickman, a seasoned professional, is working at full capacity to breathe life into an exciting and fresh take on the heroes we know and love.
Rejecting standard half-person, half-fish designs, each race of Mers is inspired by a different species of deep-sea life.
A hybrid of martial arts and spaghetti westerns, all manner of fascists are calmly dispatched with gratifying efficiency.
A quirky, tragic examination of a real-life father and daughter relationship. Funny, sad and wonderfully real.
This is a gripping story of survival & community, wrapped up in a gorgeously illustrated package. Perfect for readers both young & old.
As well as a great storyline, Hickman really captures the attention and imagination of the reader with dynamic and expressive art.
It’s fun, it’s compulsive, it has a plot that is both dramatic and easy to follow and makes it all too easy to turn that next page.
A brilliant canon exploration of Darth Vader’s rage and conflict between the events of the Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.
Following the death of the Ultimate Universe’s Peter Parker at the hands of the Green Goblin, the world is left without a Spider-Man.
With beautiful illustrations, a seal-turned-human and a complicated love, what more do you need in a graphic novel?
An amazing, character-defining, self-contained Wolverine story. No prior knowledge of the character or the X-Men is required.
This graphic novel has amazing characterization of Batman and Commissioner Gordon.
Gotham is flooded and overgrown, and an ill-equipped, inexperienced Batman must take down the villainous icon, the Riddler.
New 52 Joker is at his most violent and deranged here, and attack Batman’s ‘family’ of Robins to get to him. The ending is iconic.
This graphic novels has lots of his typical quippiness and some intense fight scenes. I highly recommended for an easy read.
Fast-paced action combines seamlessly with an emotionally resonant story, which pushes Miles to his limits…
A great lead in from the Ultimate Universe to Secret Wars. Also, a nice re-introduction to the relationship between Peter and Miles.
Chip Zdarksy’s Daredevil run has been a pleasure to read and continues to keep you on the hook the whole way through. Thoroughly recommended.
