When discussing Golden Age comics, horror is seldom the first genre that comes to mind.

As I delved into this book, I found myself grappling with a sense of turmoil. The story is undeniably experimental, and I must commend the authors Alexia Xuereb Diacono, Antonella J. Abela, Joseph Sultana, Sonic J. Aquilina, and Tanya Cilia for their efforts in tackling such a challenging task. It…

Shadow Woods by Roberta Bajada is an incredible journey that took me on a deeply emotional roller-coaster. Daniel's story, rich with mystery and childhood memories, resonated deeply with me. His nostalgic longing for material possessions struck a chord, and I could feel his emotions as he raced back to his…

Shadow Woods ta' Roberta Bajada huwa vjaġġ inkredibbli li ħadni dawra fuq roller-coaster profondament emozzjonali. L-istorja ta’ Daniel, rikka b’misteru u tifkiriet tat-tfulija. Ix-xenqa nostalġika tiegħu għall-possedimenti materjali laqtet korda, u stajt inħoss l-emozzjonijiet tiegħu hekk kif ġera lura lejn il-passat tiegħu biex jikxef il-verità.
Fil-fatt ma tobsorx,…

It's Furiosa, not Furiousa!
George Miller may be 79 years old but that's not stopping him from making more Mad Max movies. He returns to this universe, nine years after his last entry, Fury Road (2015) to direct Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.
A prequel to the sensational Fury Road, this is…

Beautiful Chaos!
Furiosa is just around the corner and this is the perfect time to revisit George Miller's Australian Apocalyptic wasteland. I could have gone with either one of the original trilogy but it is a lovely day for the adrenaline-fueled masterpiece that is Mad Max: Fury Road from 2015.
In a…

A new ape is in town!
Another Planet of the Apes movie may have not been something I or perhaps anyone necessarily needed, especially with how successfully things ended seven years ago in Matt Reeve's War for the Planet of the Apes, but after seeing what Wes Ball has…
The classic tale "Nights of Wundagore" by John Byrne, David Michelinie, Mark Gruenwald and Steven Grant is a strange read in Avengers history, in that it exists between an approach of treating the Avengers as an organisation of like-minded individuals while also humanising them in ways that are believable and not too over simplistic.
