Stuart Addison Comic Reviews

A slightly disappointing issue after a strong start, Galaxy Quest: The Journey Continues #2 is far from stellar

Like the rest of the series, Dead Squad #4 is a decent action comic, but lacks the style to be something greater

Mandrake the Magician #1 is an intriguing start to what could be a truly magical series

Leth and Rausch's Edward Scissorhands continues to be a dreamy delight. Recommended.

G.I. Joe is a solid - and sometimes thrilling - comic, but continues to suffer pacing issues.

A grim conclusion to what has been a great series.

Too goofy to take seriously, The X-FIles Season 10 #20 is fun but throwaway.

A fine start to a new Zombies Vs Robots series. It's far cleverer than the title suggests.

A fine start to a new Galaxy Quest tale. If you're a fan of the movie, you might want to check this out.

A great collection of Hugo Pratt's excellent Corto Maltese stories. Anyone interested in the graphic novel form should check this out.

G.I. Joe has been slow to get cooking, but it's still a consistently solid book, one that's worthy of your attention.

Scary and thrilling at the same time, Rot & Ruin #4 raises the stakes in a big way. Recommended.

Three issues in and the series is struggling to live up to its premise. It's not bad, it just lacks a certain style.

It's goofy and funny, but it feels like a throwaway issue. Not bad, just somewhat lacking.

Some dodgy plot issues aside, The X-Files: Year Zero has been a lot of fun.

The new G.I. Joe continues to be a gripping piece of work. At this point, though, it could do with a little shaking up.

An old-school romp, gorgeously brought to life by Walt Simonson. "Pthupp!"

Grim, but lots of fun.

A big improvement on the first issue, Dead Squad is still finding its feet, but the future looks promising.

A good start to what will hopefully be a great new arc for conspiracy fans.

Lacking in action, but makes up for it by ramping up the tension to boiling point

Good, but leaves more questions than answers, which may be frustrating for some.

A solid effort, and leaves the door open for some great storylines

A highly entertaining piece of work from an industry legend

An explosive end to a great series.

Creepy and disturbing, great for fans of the game but only okay for everyone else

Visually amazing, but lacking in the story department

Not much action, but with an intricate plot and real-world intrigue, this is shaping up to be something great.

Uneven, but getting funnier all the time

A good start to an intriguing new storyline.

A sedate issue, but one that sets up several future storylines. May be one for fans only.

With an interesting premise and likable characters, Rot & Ruin could well be one to watch, for fans of the books and neophytes alike

Tender and affecting, this is a surprising and fantastic Mars Attacks story.

While the first issue has a lot of setup to do, this is a great-looking horror comic with a lot of potential.

An exciting sea-faring adventure with a complex backstory, The Mask of Night is a fine addition to the Kill Shakespeare saga.

Fast paced and filled with action, Thief of Thieves continues to be a gripping comic.

Star Slammers is a fun, if lightweight, frolic in another galaxy, but it's Simonson's art that really pushes this towards greatness.

While funny in places, Doberman doesn't have enough bite quite yet.
