I completely missed this series when it first started, I only knew vaguely about the character Iron Lad, mainly because he appeared to be an alternative version of Iron Man.  Little did I know that there was a very enjoyable series featuring the next generation of heroes.  The Marvel equivalent of the Teen Titans I [...]

Whenever someone new happens to bid the highest on my ad space and they show up in my sidebar I make the effort to click on the link and have a look at their site.
I’m lucky I guess because a lot of advertisers happen to be comic book artists and so I’ve happened to see [...]

Up until two days ago I have never even heard of Marvel Ruins until Rol made reference to it the other day. I really love the What If type stories that have our favourite heroes facing their darkest hours and then everything actually going wrong for them.

I went into a comic book shop and bought comics.
Not graphic novels, trade paperbacks or even collections.  Just standard monthly comic book issues.  It felt right, comfortable and like I was coming home.  I used to [...]

I know people say this all the time, I liked “blah blah” before everyone else made it popular but I really stuck with the Iron [...]

I had a cover in mind when I first started working on this so this is the natural end of playing around with the image.
I’ve also taken the plunge and can now be found on deviantArt so if you enjoy that sort of thing you can always see some of my work there (you’ll probably [...]

Here is the thumbnail sketch I did in my journal the other night when I couldn’t get the imagery out of my head so I could get some rotten sleep. For lack of interest’s sake the sleep I had that night was indeed rotten even after I got the stuff out of my mind, [...]

I’m a huge Hellboy fan. Love him, love the BPRD, love Abe, love Johann, love Liz, love Kate and I suspect I’m going to love Hellboy 2: The Golden Army. Actually I know I’m going to love the new film. With all the excitement over Iron Man coming I must say that [...]
