Even Space Dragons Need To Poop

There are a lot of unanswered questions this week, like why are the special effects of Inhumans … not very good, why can’t Zazie Beetz just use her real name instead of being called Domino, and why oh why DC did you decide to have a muslim superhero on television and call her Isis?

Seriously DC, why?

Our featured comics are Justice League of America: Power and Glory, Foolkiller: Psycho Therapy, Empress volume 1, Valerian: The Complete Collection volume 2, H. P. Lovecraft’s The Hound & Other Stories by Gou Tanabe, and Redneck #1 to 4.

The New Communism of Manga

While Marvel try to avoid issues of racism with the Black Panther movie and seem to have an inability to count, DC are giving away a comic for free, and have a new candidate to sit in the director’s chair for Suicide Squad 2.

Our featured comics and manga are Land of the Lustrous volume 1, Carthago Adventures, Vinland Saga volume 9, Wayward, and Aho-Girl volume 1.

We Need More Crumpet!

We’re back for another go on the comic-book carousel, and this week there’s the possibility of Captain Britain appearing in the MCU (maybe), the Hitchcockian influence in The Batman, a live-action Superman: Red Son, the trailer for The Inhumans TV series, and the announcement of the 11th annual Manga Jiman competition for UK artists.

Our featured comics and manga are Hostage (FBCD 2017), Descending Stories: Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju volume 1, The Mighty Thor #20, The Ballad of Franklin Bonisteel (FBCD 2017), Spill Night (FBCD 2017), From the Pages of Hellboy: Rise of the Black Flame, and When Big Bears Invade - which is kind-of a kid's picture book but since it's about kaiju-sized bears it's fair game.

Superman's Special Wink

We head into strange territory this week as Canada finally makes it legal to publish crime in comics. Sony offer “clean” versions of films that don’t need cleaning, and someone at an unnamed firm had a terrible idea for San Diego ComicCon involving women and latex.
