Comic Book Review: Misty & Scream 2020 Special
The spookiness doesn’t have to stop just because Halloween has come and gone, right? The nights are longer and darker, the air is cold and damp – surely it’s the […]
Comic Book Review: Cyberpunk 2077: Trauma Team #1
I’ve been a fan of cyberpunk – that’s with a small ‘c’, as in the genre – since the late 80s, when the term first came to my attention. I’ve […]
Weekly Round-Up
When I first started Mid-Life Gamer Geek back in the now utopian beforetimes of *checks notes* 2019, my intention was to continue writing about gaming; video games, board games and […]
Comic Book Review: Aliens: Defiance

Comic Book Review: Battle Special (2020)
The Battle special – or, as it seems to be called on the cover, the Battle ‘of Britain’ Special – is the latest in Rebellion’s series of specials to revive classic British comics.

Comic Book Review: Judge Dredd Megazine #424
2000AD’s sister title, the Judge Dredd Megazine, reaches an incredible milestone this month with the release of issue 424, which celebrates the publication’s 30th anniversary.

Comic Book Review: Aquila: Blood of the Iceni
