2018’s Most Interesting Indy Comics

If there’s one thing that can be said about the best comics of 2018, it’s that there was an awful lot of competition. The playing field was an undoubtedly even one, and making a selection was further complicated by the range of genres that produced strong and compelling content. We had everything from heterosexual grannies rediscovering a lost love affair to horror stories peopled by superheroes and self-published wrestling epics.

Comparing and contrasting so many different and diverse graphic greats was a definite
challenge – but one we were all too happy to embrace. So, without further ado, here’s a
rundown of some of the best and most ground-breaking comics of the year that was. Continue reading “2018’s Most Interesting Indy Comics”

Origin Stories: Spiderman Into the Spiderverse

Spiderman Into the Spiderverse is an incredible movie. I finally got to see it on New Year’s Eve with my son Joe. The mashing of multiple versions of Spider-Men (and Women) was a blast and set the collecting world on fire. Miles Morales, Spider-Man Noir, Peter Porker, Spider-Man 2099 (the after credit scene is a blast, will put it at the bottom if you haven’t seen it), and Spider Gwen all got boosts to their first appearances as a result. But, was there a time that Spider-men from all over the multi-verse got together before?  Continue reading “Origin Stories: Spiderman Into the Spiderverse”
