It started with the Vault Keeper. It was resparked by Rick Grimes years later. In between and all around has been Matt Murdock.

I write in my spare time, so I set up my site to feature some writing. To promote the writing, I joined Twitter. I met a stack of people on Twitter which landed me the gig writing comic gonzo at The Weekly Crisis (weeklycrisis.com). Through all of that, I started thoughtballoons (thought-balloons.com), a comic scripting exercise site. Soon after, I slipped my foot in the CBR door. It’s been a long journey from fictional to factual writer but I still wear both hats, at times.

I’m the bronzed Aussie of the CBR experience. If you think that means I look like Chris Hemsworth then feel free to ignore the image posted here. I’ve lived in one of the poorest areas of Australia and now live in the capital. To experience the rest of the world I utilise the Internet. I pay the bills by primary school teaching and my wife and very young son thank me for periodically dedicating time to being an Assistant Principal. One day writing will give me enough money to retire, at the moment it pays for all my comics with change.

Pak’s visionary tale of technology and its place in society, as well as society’s place in technology.

Starborn #2

Wed, January 12th, 2011 | Category: Review

Ben Warner gets barraged with information about everything, and this issue feels like a guide and not a narrative. Such a shame.

The Walking Dead #80

Fri, January 7th, 2011 | Category: Review

Trapped in a community might feel safe but it will also be claustrophobic. The fuse is set, and lit, and it’s going to be a very slow burn. When will it all go bang?

Captain America: Hail HYDRA! #1

Fri, January 7th, 2011 | Category: Review

Just like the old serials before your favorite talkies, Cap and Bucky face off against HYDRA goons in rootin’ tootin’ smash-‘em- up fights. Enjoy.

Ryder On The Storm #2

Fri, January 7th, 2011 | Category: Review

Plenty of history, two bedded ladies for our lead, and a final panel twist to make you gag or cringe or pucker up really bad.

Irredeemable #21

Wed, January 5th, 2011 | Category: Review

The Plutonian is either going to find redemption or he’s going to get really pissed off.

Deadpool Team-Up #886

Sun, January 2nd, 2011 | Category: Review

Iron Fist steals the limelight and Deadpool quiets down so as to be funny and not annoying. Then Dragotta nails the visuals so hard.

The Cape #1

Thu, December 23rd, 2010 | Category: Review

A very tight origin story with a twist on the end that will have you wondering where else this title could go.

The Traveller #2

Thu, December 23rd, 2010 | Category: Review

Mysteries abound about motives and characters, and yet we still get time for a hero/villain fist fight. Comics how you want ‘em!

Kill Shakespeare #18

Wed, December 22nd, 2010 | Category: Review

Othello might be his own villain and Hamlet could finally be his own hero. But how do star cross’d lovers play into this?

Robert E. Howard’s Savage Sword #1

Wed, December 22nd, 2010 | Category: Review

This is possibly better than you want it to be. It’s a melange of awesome brought to you by your childhood but defined to be relevant for the adult you’ve become.

Proof Endangered #1

Fri, December 17th, 2010 | Category: Review

Proof is on the move to find some truth, but instead he’s working against very nasty cryptids and people who want to see him dead. Oh, and your favorite action/horror slugs are in this one.

The Occultist #1

Wed, December 15th, 2010 | Category: Review

A young man, a mystical book, solid writing, a set up for plenty of further wacky tales. Check this out.

Black Panther: The Man Without Fear #513

Tue, December 14th, 2010 | Category: Review

Black Panther stomps heads in the shadows really well, but a wannabe Captain Romania has the possibility to steal the show.

27 #1

Sun, December 12th, 2010 | Category: Review

A damaged rocker is prepared to sacrifice some cats to get a chest plate that grants him artistic ability. Sadly, that sentence makes more sense than the actual comic does.
