Examining an entry into the zombie genre, Bellarius details his thoughts on Afflicted Dawn by Gregory Napier.
“While Napier shows he has potential as a writer, Afflicted Dawn makes too many basic errors from the outset to recommend.” – Bellarius, The Founding Fields
Milo, aka “Bane of Kings”, reviews the second Volume of Injustice: Gods Among Us, a tie-in to the fighting game of the same name – written by Tom Taylor with artwork from Mike S. Miller, Tom Derenick and Jeremy Raapack. Published by DC Comics, this book can be read without knowledge of the events of the video game – however reading Volume 1 first is a definite requirement.
“Tom Taylor steps up and knocks the ball out of the park with the second volume of Injustice: Gods Among Us – improving over the first and making it a compelling, unpredictable read where anything can happen and not even your favourite superheroes are safe.” ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields
Milo, aka “Bane of Kings”, runs down the Top 5 comics that you should check out when they hit shelves tomorrow – featuring books from Dark Horse, DC, Image and Marvel Comics.
Straying from the beaten path, Bellarius moves into the realm of speculative fiction and gives a few thoughts on Rocket Girls by Hōsuke Nojiri.
“An entertaining entry point into the world of space exploration.” – Bellarius, The Founding Fields
Milo, aka Bane of Kings reviews the second book in Charles Stross’ Freyaverse, set 5,000 years after the eventsof Saturn’s Children, but can be read as a standalone. It’s a space opera novel published by Orbit Books.
“Charles Stross delivers a book with some strong world building and some great ideas, but ultimately falls short when it comes to creating a good plot, with the storyline bogged down in info-dumping. Whilst some will (and have) enjoyed this book, I can only cautiously recommend it.” ~ Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields
Shadowhawk and Bane of Kings take a look at Image Comics’ latest title, from Kieron Gillen, Jamie McKelvie, Matthew Wilson and Clayton Cowles.
“Bizarre and weird, but gorgeous to look at, this is going to be a series to watch out for in the coming months.” ~Shadowhawk, The Founding Fields
“An excellent start to a promising new series.” ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields
Continuing with Anthony Reynolds’ Word Bearers trilogy, Bellarius reviews Dark Disciple.
“An interesting twist for the series with action, horror and xenos aplenty, but a slight step down from its predecessor.” – Bellarius, The Founding Fields
Milo, aka “Bane of Kings”, runs down the Top 5 Must Read Comics hitting shelves on tomorrow’s New Comic Book Day, featuring books from DC, Marvel, Image and Vertigo Comics.
Returning to the ongoing Horus Heresy series, Bellarius gives his analysis on Graham McNeill’s Vengeful Spirit.
“Dozens of potentially great ideas and characters, none of which can be fully realised thanks to the overstuffed plot.” – Bellarius, The Founding Fields
