“Mibdul” – the launch of a six-issue comic book series

Comics, NewsApril 20, 20220Comments

Comics have been sorely lacking from the Maltese literary landscape. There are the occasional self-published title and a wave of religious releases way back in the eighties, but other than that … nada. And not for want of a fan base, as the popularity of imported comics and the Malta Comic Con annual convention attest…

The Crow review by Raphael Borg

Comics, ReviewsApril 18, 20220Comments

I must admit I am a little disappointed. Not that J. O' Barr's The Crow is in any way terrible. It is just that having grown up with such an obsession with the movie in my teens, shared with the Marvel character Ghost Rider (I was THAT kind of a teenager) that had earned me being…

Captain America #193-#200 review by Raphael Borg

Comics, ReviewsMarch 21, 20220Comments

"Comics were better when they left politics out" My question is... When was that? It is truly weird when a comic from the 70s (Captain America #193-#200 from 1975) resonates with the specific circumstances most of the world finds itself in, where the elite run the show exploiting the divisions of the world beneath them. In a…

Hawkeye: My Life As A Weapon review by Raphael Borg

Comics, ReviewsMarch 10, 20220Comments

An excellent reintroduction to the character and offering phenomenal artwork reminiscent of the late, great Darwyn Cooke and Andrea Sorrentino, the book presents a different point of view in the daily life of an Avenger. Wonderfully pedestrian and concise, it starts evolving the relationship between mentor and mentee unlike anything I have ever seen before…

Green Lantern review by Raphael Borg

Comics, ReviewsMarch 3, 20220Comments

I was not very enthusiastic to take up the latest Green Lantern book. See I am a HUGE Hal Jordan fan. It was through Geoff Johns' run that I got into Green Lantern and later to his supporting cast. While I love all of the Green Lantern Corps (my favorites being Kilowog, Mogo and Isamot Kol),…

The Other History of the DC Universe review by Raphael Borg

Comics, ReviewsMarch 1, 20220Comments

What a beautiful, beautiful book. I have not said this about a book for a long time. I read good books; I read fun books, sure. But a beautiful one? Not since the Alex Ross books. And like Alex Ross and Kurt Busiek's Marvels, The Other History of the DC Universe seeks to make the history of…
