Shadowhawk and Bane of Kings welcome you to the first comics round-up for February.
“A mix of Marvel comics here, with All-New Invaders not being quite up to par but the latest chapter of Revolutionary War is indeed quite impressive.“ ~Shadowhawk, The Founding Fields
“Scott Lobdell misfires yet again with Teen Titans, proving that this series is deserving of its cancellation whilst Gail Simone works wonders with the first Volume of Red Sonja.” ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields
Shadowhawk takes a look at the sequel to Wesley Chu’s stellar 2013 debut from Angry Robot.
“A great follow-up to a great book with a killer emotional ending.” ~Shadowhawk, The Founding Fields
Shadowhawk and Bane of Kings take a look at the third issue of one of Image’s newest titles.
“An absolutely stunning issue that works on just about every level that you can imagine. Which is fitting given the central theme of the story in this issue: the onion.” ~Shadowhawk, The Founding Fields
“Black Science delivers yet another stunning issue, with Remender, Scalera & White knocking it out of the park yet again. A Must Read” ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields
Shadowhawk takes a look at the latest novel from Guy Haley for Solaris Books.
“One of the best science fiction novels I’ve read to date, Crash perfectly captures the idea of life at the frontier, one driven by economics and social change. Fascinating is the word that comes to mind.” ~Shadowhawk, The Founding Fields
Shadowhawk and Bane of Kings take a look at the new issue for Rick Remender and Matteo Scalera’s new series from Image Comics.
“Where the first issue was all weird SF adventure, the second issue is human drama, and the soft switch is glorious.” ~Shadowhawk, The Founding Fields
“Rick Remender knocks it out of the park again, proving why that just two issues in Black Science is one of the best new comics of 2013. This gets my highest recommendation” ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields
Opting to take another look at comic adaptations, Bellarius sees what the combined team of Archie Goodwin and Walter Simonson can do when they are given Alien.
“Maintaining the suspense, terror and visual brilliance of the film, Alien: The Illustrated Story proves to be an adaptation worth any fan’s time.” – Bellarius, The Founding Fields
Bane of Kings and Shadowhawk take a look at Rick Remender’s new series from Image Comics with artist Matteo Scalera.
“An absolutely stellar first issue, Black Science might just be Rick Remender’s strongest work yet, and as a result it’s jumped right to the top of my pull list. A must read.” ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields
“Quite an impressive story about desperation, bad choices and a pulp science fiction core that speaks of great adventures.” ~Shadowhawk, The Founding Fields
Shadowhawk reviews the first book in the Saga of Seven Suns series.
“Even though at times it is quite brilliant, Hidden Empire still fails to rise up the promise of the opening chapters and loses steam as it goes on. Not a bad book per se, but it could have been a lot better.” ~Shadowhawk, The Founding Fields
Bellarius takes a detour away from novels to look at the Aliens: Colonial Marines Technical Manual by Lee Brimmicombe-Wood.
“The best thing to happen to the Aliens mythos in decades!” - The Founding Fields
Bellarius takes a look into the Halo universe with the The Cole Protocol by Tobias S. Buckell.
“Expanding upon the universe with every page” – The Founding Fields
