Hulktastic!
July 15th, 2010 by Riff
Marvel fans are almost certainly aware of the rash of upcoming Marvel movies geared towards launching the Avengers on the silver screen. We’ve already had 2 Iron Man films, and we’re awaiting Captain America, Thor and the Avengers. And we’ve had two movies featuring our favourite green-skinned hooligan, the Hulk.

The Darkness: More Creativity
June 19th, 2009 by Riff
I’ve featured a few posts about creation – to me that’s one of the quinetessentially interesting things about a comic – because there are so many different levels of input – compared say, to a novel. With a novel you primarily have the author and a contribution to the work by an editor: The images [...]

March 8th, 2009 by Riff
Following on from Marvel’s “Barak meets Spidey”Alex Ross has designed a T shirt based on his famously iconic Superman. Nice touch, but Gordon Brown won’t be wearing it. And he saved the world (allegedly.)

February 22nd, 2009 by Riff
Comicbooks aren’t for kids any more it seems. Hell some of them aren’t for grown-ups either. For many they seem to be a cash cow, an investment, something to be stored in vaults, in plastic (or better still foil) bags, in acid-free cardboard boxes in low ultra-violet light, never to actually be read or enjoyed, [...]
