Review: Atari Pong Table (2019)
The sad, slow decline of the Atari brand, which began with the US video game crash of 1983, has been increasingly painful to behold. The once-beloved brand has been absolutely run […]

Comic Book Review: Star Wars: War of the Bounty Hunters – Alpha #1
Marvel’s big 2021 Star Wars crossover begins here. A spectacular blockbuster event is promised (though as comic fans know, it always is, right?), with chapters released at least once a […]
Rebellion Specials 2020 (Part 2)
Yesterday, I covered the first half of 2020’s one-off special comics that were published by 2000AD owner Rebellion. There were some fantastic titles in there, so if you haven’t read […]
Rebellion Specials 2020 (Part 1)
Despite all of the hurdles and challenges faced in 2020 – not least some restrictive lockdown procedures that many of us endured for several months of the year – Rebellion […]
Comic Book Review: The Cor!! Buster Easter Special

Film Review: Future Shock: The Story of 2000AD
The first time I properly sat and read an issue of 2000AD was in the early 80s. I was with my Dad, visiting one of his mates; his son was older than me and had a copy of the latest prog (that’s ‘issue’ in 2000AD lingo) on the coffee table. I was bored as the adults chatted and started to […]
