4-Panel | Comics & Manga

Judge Death Does Bollywood

It's time for your weekly dose of comics and manga with 4-Panel!

Hidden in the mist of tangents and nonsense are the trailer for The New Mutants, Cable's existence as a movie character (but nobody is committed to saying much else), Marvel's plan for their very own brilliantly-monikered convention, and a new live-action adaptation of a legendary manga series.

And Innuendo. Lots and lots of innuendo.

This week's featured comics and manga are Rodolphe D. Jacquette's Trent: The Dead Man, Flying Witch, Goosebumps very own R.L Stine and his take on Man-Thing, The Black Beetle: Kara Bocek, Kingpin: Born Against and Hard Boiled from Captain Controversy himself - Frank Miller.

Being Akira Malkovich

It's time for more comic-books with 4-Panel, and this week we're talking about bad Marvel partnerships, Taika Waititi's film plans for Akira, art theft and the return of a British superhero team. We also continue our new scoring system and our ongoing descent into Nightwing's butt-gate (pun very much intended).

It's complex, alright?

This week's featured comics are The Autumnlands: Tooth and Claw #1 to 5, The Black Sinister, Kill or be Killed and Garth Ennis's Rover Red Charlie.

Boy Meets Venom

This week on 4-Panel we talk about the biggest Iron Man story ever … at least according to Brian Michael Bendis. There are lots of terrible movie references - including one that is incorrect and from the movie guy no less (he should be ashamed). Elsewhere we talk about The Prisoner returning in comic book form, the new writer for the upcoming Venom movie and the rumours of a TV adaptation of Alan Moore's V for Vendetta.

This week's featured titles are Calla Cthulu and Hellboy: An Assortment of Horrors from Dark Horse, Horizon #1 to 5 and Moonshine #1 to 6 from Image, and the first issue of Marvel's Legacy series.
