Parting is such sweet sorrow. The final issue of which has been one of the best books of the last year, from any company bar none. Ennis and Burns have not only dusted down an old, semi-forgotten character and strip but have managed to both pay homage to its history and roots while simultaneously adding new perspectives and layers to that somewhat out of fashion staple, the war book. It has been a true partnership as well, with Ennis breathing new life into old ideas with fantastic scripts, and John Burns bringing a modern eye to the art, yet retaining the look and feel of those classic war strips. As much as I have enjoyed the previous 7 issues, they would however feel a little hollow without a suitable resolution so Ennis and Burns, you’re up.

Last issue was the big game changer in the book when we moved beyond the guys on the floor, that is the exploits of Johnny and Falcon Squadron, and into the politics of what has been going on. As great pilots, soldiers and fighters as they are, the Falcons and Johnny have been simply pawns in a political chess game between the Soviet Union and Germany, between Stalin and Hitler. As Nkvd officer Safonov revealed last issue, Russia had agreed to surrender secretly to Hitler, but in person only, which is why the Falcons had been sent behind enemy lines on their secret mission. Also unknown to them, their planes had been booby trapped with bombs to allow Russia to disavow everything if Stalin changed his mind.

Johnny Red has been one of the stand out series for me this year, and one I genuinely look forward to reading every month. Ennis has taken the war comic format, and all the nostalgia that goes with those old 70′s and 80′s newsstand comics, and if not entirely rebooted it, most certainly repurposed it. Johnny Red and Falcon Squadron are not ‘heroes’ because war has no ‘heroes’ Ennis is telling us. They are soldiers doing a job, no better or worse than the Germans on the other side. Patriotism is something pushed by the higher-ups to ensure loyalty and obedience to orders, on both sides. True to a point I would argue, but Johnny is clearly a hero in the sense he does what is right, often in defiance of authority. Then again, that...

I have become a really big fan of the Earth One series DC has created. With the first series of Batman and Superman being successful it was only natural that Wonder Woman would be next. Plus anything written by Grant Morrison is a must to own.
Synopsis: In this new installment of the New York Times best-selling Earth One original graphic novel line, Grant Morrison (The Multiversity) joins with Yanick Paquette (Swamp Thing, Batman, Inc.) to reimagineWonder Woman for a new era.

Johnny Red has been, without doubt, one of my favourite non-superhero books of the last year, and possibly my favourite non-dc/Marvel book. Although I’m a Garth Ennis fan of many years, I’m not a big war book aficionado and expected to enjoy this a little but no more. What has made this a great read is by framing the story with a modern twist, by using war as the backdrop but focusing on the personalities and individuals, Ennis shows that good writing wins out. Although Johnny is the lead character, the book is very much an ensemble, and an ensemble of not just character, but theme too.

Johnny Red has been a lot of things since Issue 1 came out. A loving homage to those old war comics, told with modern eyes, probably the best non-superhero title out there right now, and genuinely surprising top quality writing and art. Not that I thought Garth Ennis wouldn’t turn in a decent story, but he has excelled himself, and Keith Burns was clearly born to draw this book. Although the action has been well done, (we sort of expected that anyway didn’t we?) it has been the character work that have shone through, giving these characters life beyond being pilots and soldiers, in possession of living, breathing distinctive personalities. Not easy in a relatively small page count, as any writer will tell you.
Funnily enough, Ennis wastes a lot of his page count this issue,...

It is perhaps a measure of the overall quality of the comic book market of the last several years that I keep waiting for this series to disappoint me at some point. Issue 1 was great, but issue 2 is sure to be a let-down isn’t it? Actually, no it wasn’t, it was as good as the first. So then, the difficult issue 3 must be the one to disappoint… I’m pleased to say I am indeed just a cynical old fanboy looking for an excuse to moan, as the third issue of this series continues the great work so far by Garth Ennis and Keith Burns. They seem to combine the nostalgia of 70′s war comics, with a dash of 80′s anti-hero, and a fine dusting of more recent themes of quirkiness, violence, and reassessments of the past.

I thought the first issue of this series was one of the best issue 1′s of the year in any category, never mind that it was one of the best non-superhero comics in some time. Garth Ennis was given the freedom to both indulge his love for war comics, and to revive at best a niche character in Johnny Red, at worst an obscure character none of us had heard of. The original Johnny Red strip had appeared in British war comic Battle, Johnny being a classic anti-hero; his own country, Great Britain had him court-martialled, the Germans had a bounty on his head, and although he flew in a Russian squadron The Falcons the Russian leadership distrusted him. Ennis must have rubbed his hands together at the plentiful material available from that setup.

I had the wonderful opportunity to get to ask the writer and artist for Johhny Red, legendary Preacher creator Garth Ennis and artist extraordinaire Keith Burns (The Boys, Castles in the Sky).
Johhny Red came out earlier this month and is the story of Legendary British fighter ace, Johnny 'Red' Redburn, returns once more as the commander of the Falcons – a Russian fighter squadron battling the Nazis in the skies over Stalingrad. But dogfighting Messerschmitts is about to become the least of his troubles when the Nvkd – the notorious Soviet secret police – come calling!
Latino-Review: With the original comic series “Battle” being a big hit did either of you feel any pressure delivering a product to the fans of the original?

Those comic book readers of a certain vintage , cough cough, probably remember well the mid-late 1970′s when sometimes the only comics you could find to keep you going until the next imported batch of Marvel and DC Comics arrived were the British war comics found then on a shelf in every newsagents. Although war comics were never my favourite, I did find them interesting, and the fact they were weekly was an added bonus. They were, it must be said, pretty simplistic; the British were heroic, the Nazis were swine, and each story pretty much played out that way.
The original Johnny Red strip actually appeared in perhaps the best of those comics, Battle, and Johnny himself had something of the Sgt Rock, or Sgt Nick Fury about him. An anti-hero, he was beset on all sides.

Hoax Hunters: Case Files # 1
Written by Steve Seeley, Tim Seeley, Michael Moreci and others

Published by Image Comics
There’s a few tropes in fiction, basic story concepts and setups, that for all the decent things they’ve produced, have started to outstay their welcome. Ok, to be fair there’s a few dozen. But near the top of that list is “person or group of persons secretly investigates paranormal phenomenon including but not limited to folkloric creatures and cryptids”. Look, we all know “The X-Files” was a great show, and anything related to Hellboy is fun on the bun. But “Supernatural” is starting its tenth season. Tenth. Not even X-Files made it to ten, not counting the comic. Point is, we’re starting to reach a saturation point for the paranormal stuff here.

If there is one book that the horror lover in your life would want for Christmas this year this is it. Classic Horror movie poster art books are relatively few and far between. The great ones like Graven Images by Keith Burns are long out of print, and the others I've seen are skinny little things or deal exclusively with exploitation stuff. Titan has outdone themselves here. This look at the posters of Hammer Studios isn't meant to be comprehensive but it showcases examples (often multiple ones) of poster art from more than one hundred Hammer films. Fans know that there are a shelf of excellent reference books on Hammer films and their stars but, until now, no one volume devoted to the dynamic posters that helped Hammer redefine gothic horror. The lush white dustjacket removes to reveal a gorgeous melange of Hammer's most famous faces. The artwork is reminiscent...

"Conan" and "Red Sonja" are heading to the big screen eventually, but while we wait for the Robert E. Howard creations to hit theaters, an entirely different fantasy comic book might get the movie treatment first.
Variety reports that "DevaShard" -- a Fluid Comics-created maxiseries filled with swords, sorcery and other fantasy elements -- is receiving a film adaptation courtesy of Vanquish Motion Pictures. "Underworld" co-creator and actor Kevin Grevioux will executive produce. Grevioux also provided a story treatment for "DevaShard," which Heather Kenealy, alongside Vanquish toppers Jay Douglas and Nav Gupta, will adapt into the movie's screenplay.
