Joseph Perry Comic Reviews

Penny Dreadful: The Awakening #1 shows a great deal of promise on continuing the world building and gripping stories for which the television series is so well known.

Titan Comics begins its serialized version of the 1988 graphic novel adaptation of Joe Haldeman's science fiction novel The Forever War - a military-in-space tale, featuring outstanding artwork by Marvano - promisingly. Overall, Forever War #1 is a well-paced introduction story and the series should appeal to fans of high-concept science fiction with an emphasis on character study.

Horror film household name Hammer makes its comic book debut in partnership with Titan Comics with The Mummy: Palimpsest #1, which boasts dazzling artwork and an intriguing kick-off to its supernatural terror tale.
