By Le Tendre & Peynet Publisher: Cinebook ISBN: 9781800441156 I had absolutely no idea that the minotaur from Greek mythology had a name.

Lonesome 3: The Ties Of Blood
By Yves Swolfs Publisher: Cinebook ISBN: 9781800440814 I’ve been really enjoying getting my teeth into this series. On the face of it, it’s a dyed-in-the-wool western, with all the gunslinging, treachery and action you’d expect.

With publishers increasingly playing it safe with what they put out, it’s a phenomenon that seems to happen less and less. I can recall delighting in the discovery […]
Neptune Episode 2
By Leo Publisher: Cinebook ISBN: 9781800441002 There’s no hanging around with this one as Leo throws us straight into the mysterious alien vessel alongside Kim and Marie. Confronted immediately by a swarm of robots acting like aggressive antibodies, their own defensive technologies are swiftly thinned. By the time they reach the central section the two […]
