Exciting News

Maybe you've already heard, but I'm very excited to share the news that Disney has picked up the film rights to Delilah Dirk, an amazing graphic novel series. You can read my reviews of Vol. 1 The Turkish Lieutenant here and Vol. 2 The King's Shilling here. You can also check out my interview with the creator Tony Cliff here. Or better yet, do yourself a favor and read the graphic novels themselves -- right now!

In the meantime, check out the variety of titles we are covering in this month's content. There's a little nostalgia thrown in for good measure. Enjoy.

Features opens the month with another interview with comic writer Pat Shand about his current and upcoming series (lots of vampires!). My Under the Microscope coverage of his series Robyn Hood concludes this month looking at issue #20 and the 2016 Annual, which includes Marian and Sam's wedding! Tart Jen continues her coverage of The New Teen Titans with two more installments. And we have an interview with comic book artist Dave Dorman.

Culture Vultures has two interviews as well. The first is with Chuck Dixon on his new novel Bad Times. The second is with Paul Petersen on being a child star and his child star advocate group, A Minor Consideration. In a two-part article, Tarts discuss why they're Team Cap or Team Iron Man. You know you're curious, as you've probably picked your side as well. New Tart, Lorie Marie, takes a look back at The Secrets of Isis TV show, reminding us all of a gentler time.

The Report Card is where you'll find reviews. These mostly cover new and upcoming comics and manga, but some weeks you'll find other types of media as well. There is a large variety in the genres and target audiences of the titles we review, and you'll find a lot of indie and small press gems in here!
