Graphic Novel review - The Flash Vol. 4: Running Scared (Rebirth) by Joshua Williamson

The Flash Vol. 4: Running Scared (Rebirth)

by Joshua Williamson



Published: 21/11/2017
Publisher: DC Comics 
ISBN: 9781401274627 
Number of pages: 144 

Barry Allen is here again protecting the streets of Central City as the speedster The Flash, but as he enjoys a party with all his closest around him how much longer can everything stay calm before one of his villains decides to strike.

This volume of The Flash is worth the read for any fan as along side the usual great stories in the Flash universe it focuses on the life and story of Eobard Thawne and how he came to be the reverse flash and what is the basis to his hatred of Barry Allen.

I felt the addition of Hal Jordan in this story made for a great team up and sent him away at the right moment as not to make things to easy in the conclusion so there was some struggle for Barry to fight. The artwork by Carmine Di Giandomenico and Howard Porter is spot on and keeps you captivated by each page as the storey unfolds.

Graphic Novel Review: Invincible compendium volume 3 by Robert kirkman TS

Invincible Compendium Volume 3  By Robert Kirkman  Writer:  Robert Kirkman Artist:  Ryan Ottley ,  Cory Walker ,  John Rauch ,  Jean-Francois Beaulieu ,  Nathan Fairbairn Cover:  Ryan Ottley ,  Nathan Fairbairn Published: July 18, 2018 This is my most anticipated graphic novel for the past five years!  So I start this by disclosing that I am a huge fan of Robert Kirkman and the whole Invincible series to start with, I first read the compendium volume 1 maybe eight years ago as a gift from my brother and managed to finish it in a matter of days. I started this series late to the party and thankfully only had two years to wait for the second volume which was also incredible but unfortunately with just how many issues are packed into these compendiums I have had a five year wait for this third volume to be published and I have to say, it was worth the wait. The story being issue to issue jumps right in from the last so ...

Graphic Novel Review - Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys: The Big Lie by Anthony Del Col

Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys: The Big Lie by Anthony Del Col Buy it here Something terrible has happened in the nice town of Bayport, Frank and Joe Hardy's father has been murdered and they're suspected of the crime. Only with the help of Nancy Drew can the boys clear their names and find out who really killed their father. Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys is a great modern take on the crime solving cast with a dark noir theme throughout. I felt the darkness in the art was a great take on the story bringing the duo into their more mature lights. I had never read any of the Hardy Boy or Nancy Drew stories but have really enjoyed this and would read further if this style of writing was a route that it went down again, it is defiantly worth a read for everyone who likes a crime solving graphic novel.

Book Review - The World of Lore, Volume 1: Monstrous Creatures by Aaron Mahnke

The World of Lore, Volume 1: Monstrous Creatures  by Aaron Mahnke Hardcover: 320 pages Publisher: Wildfire; 01 edition (10 Oct. 2017) Language: English ISBN-10: 1472251652 Buy it here The world of Lore is the written counterpart to Aaron Mahnke's hit podcast Lore which has captivated listeners with his captivating storytelling and dark stories from history worldwide.  The world of Lore is a great book that reads just like his podcast meaning that you can practically hear his voice as you read passages of dark stories that leave you unable to put the book down.  I will point out that if you have heard all the episodes of his podcast you will likely have heard all of these stories read by Aaron already. Although even having heard everything already I found reading it all just as exciting as if hearing them for the first time again given the alternative format.  I hope that there will become a volume 2 of the series and would defiantly...
