Review: Bad Karma #1 (Panel Syndicate)

Review: Tiny Acts of Violence (A14 Books / Comics Toolbox)
We love it when a book arrives on our reading list, fully formed and without a Kickstarter campaign or publisher preview to precede it – it’s a reminder of the quality and dedication some creators have to their craft. Martin Stiff’s cold war spy thriller/mystery Tiny Acts of Violence is just such a complete finished […]
Review: The Impending Blindness of Billie Scott (Avery Hill Publishing)
It’s no secret that we are huge fans of Avery Hill Publishing here at Pipedream Comics. Their unique brand of thoughtful and esoteric comics has introduced us to the likes of Rachael Smith, Tille Walden and many more. And the latest to join this glorious roster of creators is Zoe Thorogood, with The Impending Blindness […]
Review: Hush Ronin #1 (Ashcan Comics)
We’ve always been fascinated by the way of the Samurai. From comic character Usagi Yojimbo, to the (partial) influence of the Jedi from Star Wars and beyond, this warrior class has permeated our collective imaginations.

With Lockdown easing off and the world, roughly, returning to some degree of normalcy, it’s time for everyone to return to work. For me, that’s the bread and butter of reviewing comics. With that, we check out Mad Robot Comics’ Bete Noir, which succeeded wth it’s Kickstarter campaign last summer. However, now we can get […]
Review: MI666 – Omens (Andy Bloor Comics)
It’s always great when two of our favourite small press creators team up to bring us a new comic. MI666 is the latest such team up and sees Vince Hunt (Awesome Comics, Red Mask From Mars) join forces with Andy Bloor (Midnight Man) to bring us a slice of supernatural all action crime procedural that […]
Review: Write It In Blood (Rory McConville)
We’re always a sucker for a great crime comic and Rory McConville and Joe Palmer’s Write It In Blood is a bit of a cracker, with the body count of a Scorsese movie and sparkling dialogue of a Coen Brothers movie, it’s a delightful tale of two brothers on the run from a mob boss […]
