SUPERMAN: A NEW DIRECTION?
Mark Millar, riding high in the public eye after the success of Wanted, not to mention being known to comics fans as one hell of a big name, is apparently turning his eye to The Man of Steel. Talking to The Daily Record, Millar states he has a new vision of Superman […]
Big birthday wishes to DC’s big blue boy scout- Superman is 70 years old! The character, created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, first burst into the public eye with the June 1938 issue of Action Comics, and became the benchmark for pretty much every superhero that followed in his wake. Superman is the archetypal […]
Well, there’s been some changes in store of late, and its been a while since we last spoke on a personal level, geek to geek, so lets check out what has been happening here in the real-world counterpart of Starstore.com, namely The Last Picture Show, here in the Meadowhall centre in Sheffield.
We now have a […]
NOW IN STOCK! This is a very timely box set, and great value too. DC Direct have been doing well with their figure/trade paperback bundles, and this is one of the titles that is going to sell no matter what, so it’s a no brainer really that The Killing Joke would be on the list […]
McFarlane have announced and unveiled the next set of figures based on Todd McFarlane’s ever popular SPAWN character.

The blockbusters are coming, and thus we are being inundated with people wanting to ask all about the […]
This week has been a little light on the new comics release front, but there’s still a ton to enjoy. I’m sure other staff will be on hand soon to add their tuppence worth of reviews to the fray (including new action figures and more), but there were two titles that caught my attention straight […]
Getting those figures based on DC’s brilliant TRINITY graphic novel has led to us taking another look at the graphic novel itself. The 2002 mini series by Matt Wagner was something of an event, pitting the ‘Big Three’, namely Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman, against the evil of Ra’s Al Ghul. It carries the stylised […]
