Paul's picks - Wednesday 12th of March


BOJEFFRIES SAGA [by Alan Moore & Steve Parkhouse]THE BOJEFFRIES SAGA [by Alan Moore & Steve Parkhouse]

It's like a British Munsters or Addams Family from the 80s by set somewhere in the midlands.  It's the funniest thing Alan Moore has ever written.

The sequel to Avengers: Arena is here.

Andy Kubert's pencils in all their finery.

Carol's off to space.  She's grown her hair back too.

The story that kicked off Forever Evil.

A man fighting robots with his bare hands.  He's not wearing the min dress any more though, sadly.


New horror from Steve Niles.

You wait ages for a new Steve Niles horror to come along...

WHY WE LOVE IT: BOOM! We can't get enough innovative mashups of some of our favorite genres: Fantasy, Horror, and Mystery. Plus, we're fascinated with the science of NDE's! WHY YOU WILL LOVE IT: Awardwinning novelist Jason Starr (Wolverine Max, The Chill) and artist Andrea Mutti (Noir, The Executor) deliver a gripping but deeply human drama set in an uncertain world. WHAT'S IT ABOUT: It's 2022, and some people who have had NearDeath Experiences have come back 'changed.' They exhibit extreme behavioral changes, becoming increasingly paranoid and violent, and no one knows why. People who have had NDE's fall immediately under suspicion, and in some cases, are murdered by justiceseeking vigilantes. It is in this world where Beth, a quiet high school student with a bright future, will learn just how quickly friends and family will turn on her when she has the bad luck of surviving the worst night of her life...

A second chance to give Secret Avengers a go.

Steve Austin is the latest TV character to get an official continuation  in comics.

Like Jim Lee?  Get a load of him here.

David Lapham's crime series get's a new beginning.

The end of an era as Disney's creative maths gets us the 300th issue of some X-Men series or other.

Transformabots are robots that turn into cars and that.  Some people seem to like 'em and it's less than a quid. I think this is a reprint of the original Marvel series #1. Transformabots go botty.

From The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and continuing in the thrilling tradition of Heart of Ice, Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill rampage through twentieth-century culture in a blazing new adventure. It's now 1941, and with her daughter strategically married into the family of aerial warlord Jean Robur, Janni's raiders have only limited contact with the military might of the clownish German-Tomanian dictator Adenoid Hynkel. But when the pirate queen learns that her loved ones are held hostage in the nightmarish Berlin, she has no choice save to intervene directly, travelling with her ageing lover Broad Arrow Jack into the belly of the beastly metropolis. Within that alienated city await monsters, criminals and legends, including the remaining vestiges of Germany's notorious 'Twilight Heroes', a dark Teutonic counterpart to Mina Murray's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. And waiting at the far end of this gauntlet of alarming adversaries there is something much, much worse
