By Rosinski & Sente Publisher: Cinebook ISBN: 9781849184946 Thorgal has been one of Cinebook’s gems, a series that has defied expectations with every new book. I’d read about some dissatisfaction with the Jolan-led stories when they were initially published, but I’ve not had too much of an issue with them. This is probably largely due […]

Joe Death & The Graven Image
By Benjamin Schipper Publisher: Dark Horse ISBN: 9781506717074 Every once in a while I come across a book that genuinely excites me by daring to be different.

A book I’d not seen coming as I’d presumed we were moving on to the Jolan stories in the Thorgal saga. Well, how wrong was […]
Thorgal Vol 21: The Sacrifice
By Rosinski & Van Hamme Publisher: Cinebook ISBN: 9781849184267 I’ve written enough of these now to make it quite plain as to how much I enjoy the Thorgal books, and so it’s with a tinge of sadness that this appears to be the final book of the main story arc. That doesn’t mean to say […]
