This book explores Alan Moore’s career as a cartoonist, as shaped by his transdisciplinary practice as a poet, illustrator, musician and playwright as well as his involvement in the Northampton Arts Lab and the hippie counterculture in which it took place.

reunites the team of Dethan, Cook and Wilkinson, joined this time around by penciller Rob Carey on his first full-length graphic novel. Publisher Harry Markos, speaking about the launch on the PSN forum, said: “You’re going to be freaked out. I warned you, a while ago, that The Indifference Engine would blow your minds...” Certainly this 4-issue graphic novel, published online as a digital comic mini-series, packs a lot of punches. Cy Dethan's script is tight, seamless, and progressive with no decompression as is common among comics mini-series nowadays, and that says a lot about the creative process that went into it. Carey's art, too, is excellent--never drawing too much attention to itself yet pulling the reader deeper into the story--with granularity, starkness and tension in all the right places. Markosia should be proud to showcase such British talent, showing that great things are ahead. This is also a coup for the PSP Comics network and what mobile comics are all about. Highly recommended. 12+

The Love & Rockets library continues with this special volume.
To a very great extent, Love & Rockets is synonymous with Hoppers' Maggie & Hopey and Palomar's Luba & Carmen & Heraclio & Tonantzin… but there was always more to L&R than that. Amor y Cohetes finally collects together in one convenient package all the non-Maggie and non-Palomar stories by all three Hernandez Brothers from that classic first, 50-issue Love and Rockets series—a dizzying array of styles and approaches that re-confirms these groundbreaking cartoonists' place in the history of comics.

is an eight-issue limited series commissioned as a pseudo-sequel of sorts to for Marvel Comics for its 70th anniversary. It is a thoughtful and intimate look at a classic Marvel character, the original World War II Torch. Writer Mike Carey fleshes his characters with definition and care, with detailed artwork by Patrick Berkenkotter, drawing the title character in the Golden Age style. The fifth issue features the Mad Thinker Prince Namor versus--this happens only once--three Human Torches! Many may not like Mike Carey's Golden Age style and manner of writing, or Patrick Berkenkotter's coloring-over-the-pencil-art technique, but to me this is what happens when you pair a good writer with a good artist and give them the freedom to handle their material. Sparks fly and flames burn bright. Guest starring the Fantastic Four. A Minutemen scan.

Writer Mike Carey fleshes his characters with definition and care, with detailed artwork by Patrick Berkenkotter, drawing the title character in the Golden Age style. The third issue picks up the pace even more as Carey through the Thinker's dialogue conjures a hard science fiction explanation and basis for the nature of the flames of the original Torch and his sidekick Toro in stark contrast to the old-style artwork. This is what happens when you pair a good writer with a good artist and give them the freedom to handle their material. Sparks fly and flames burn bright.
