The first real consequence of Marvel’s acquisition of the Marvelman character (assuming that the death of The Sentry, a Marvelman like character if ever there was one, doesn’t count) is the first issue of this six issue series reprinting stories from the 1950s.

I lately dumped a pile of weak ‘Catwoman’ comics (everything post-Brubaker – and I was tempted to get shot of the ones with the terrible Paul Gulacy art, too) at the Notting Hill music/DVD/book/comic/clothing exchange. I love that place for two reasons: one, they promise to take anything off your hands, even if it’s just [...]

With career-best art from Kevin O’Neill and a script that somehow evokes the atmosphere of a great twentieth century Marxist opera on a comic book page, ‘1910′ is nothing short of astonishing.

I thought I knew what to expect from the ‘Watchmen’ movie, and that it would provoke a strong reaction from me. However… it managed to catch me out, because I came out of it with no idea what my opinion was…

Zack Snyder’s ”Watchmen” is a thoughtful, uncompromising and sophisticated attempt to take Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ thoughtful, uncompromised and sophisticated ”Watchmen” and put it in on the screen.

Alan Moore did what almost no British comic creator had done before, and what almost every British comic creator would do from that point, and started working for American comics companies.

Changes made in the jump from page to screen can sometimes make a major difference to the fundamental direction of the character, and this is the case in ‘Constantine’…

Two shelf-bending, wallet breaking hardbacks for the discerning comics fan: ‘Invincible Ultimate Collection 1′ and ‘Top 10: The Forty-Niners’…

Getting a lot of things wrong can add up to make a right.

To make up for the recent drought, here’s a random round-up of last week’s comics, in alphabetical order, to keep you going.

It’s a consistently funny, constantly surprising riot of in-jokes, familiar designs and glorious character moments if you’re a late twentysomething manchild.

Here’s a challenge – develop an Alan Moore story idea in a way that lives up to the pitch, but without being pastiche of what an imagined Moore version might be like…

Regular readers of this site will surely have realised by now that I’m a complete sucker for comic book movies, and in particular find the DVDs of these films impossible to resist…

A word of warning: do not read this comic on the bus. Or on the train, or in a caf?, or indeed anywhere that someone might see you…

Avatar have found a good thing in pulling together various fragments of writing from Alan Moore’s career and recycling them in comic book form…

‘The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen’ isn’t a blockbuster, it’s an adventure movie…

This could be the shape of things to come: the first issue of ‘Tom Strong’ to be written by someone other than Alan Moore…

A full two years after ‘Season 1′ of Alan Moore’s ‘Top 10′ came to a close, here’s the long-promised spin-off miniseries…

This impressive collection brings together short stories, fill-ins and one-offs written by Alan Moore for DC Comics in the mid 1980s…

Can America’s Best Comics carry on without Alan Moore? ‘Terra Obscura’ is the latest evidence to suggest that it absolutely should…

Not strictly speaking a comic, but the nature of this publication means that it easily falls under the remit of our reviews section…

See that creature on the front of this issue? The one menacing Quatermain and Mina? Try and guess what that is. Just try it.

I visited a couple of comic shops whilst in Paris recently and it intrigued me that the staples of the American market – sci-fi and superheroes – were almost completely absent…

Anybody who felt cheated by last month’s issue of ‘The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen’, featuring as it did almost nothing of the five Gentlemen themselves, will be more than satisfied by this issue.

I’d rather Jack…

As a relative newcomer to the world of comics I often ponder what it is that led me to start shelling out good money week after week for picture books made for kids.

It’s a bit of a shock to receive the second issue of volume 2 so promptly after issue 1 came out. For once, it’s not possible to claim it was “worth the wait”.

Last time we saw Alan Moore’s literary super team, stars were falling over England. It was a cliffhanger ending that we were left with for what seems like an age. Now, finally, we get the next chapter…
