The times we live in are terrifying enough, so creators of horror stories across different media have a challenge to out-scare the headlines.

Doctor Who: Ghost Stories snuck up on me a bit, ready as I was to dislike it even before I started it. It has done that rare thing which is to surpass the material that preceded and inspired it. George Mann has taken a fun concept and really energised it, and it has been a fun read. Grant Gordon, aka The Ghost, has been written fairly seriously, and plays off the mischievous Twelfth Doctor very nicely. The revolving artists is a little jarring, with Dennis Calero now becoming the third artist in three issues. I am assuming as each issue is a quest for a different gemstone, the differing art is supposed to reflect this. No complaints this time round though, as Calero is something of a favourite.

Assassin’s Creed Templars #9 brings both some good news and some bad news it seems. The bad news is that this issue will be the final one of the series. That, for me, is a real shame as this has been an excellent book throughout its two story arcs, with its introduction of the Black Cross mythology into this world. A special shout out as well to Dennis Calero, who has been a fixture since the first issue, both as artist and ,of late, writer as well. The good news I mentioned? I’ll save that for the end of the review.
Last issue saw us juggling two storylines, one in the past, one in the present. In the past Jan van de Graff was banged up in the prison of Lord Selim, a man filled with hatred for both Assassins and Templars.

Dennis Calero has been an outstanding job on this second arc of the Templars book, which is just as well considering he writes, pencils, inks and colours it. That’s one heck of a workload, so you have to assume this is something of a labour of love, and for me it certainly hasn’t disappointed. As I said last time round, this book has a more mature feel to it, slighter darker themes and imagery, which gives it its own little distinctive corner of the Assassins Creed universe.
So where did we leave our main players at the end of last issue? Well, in the past Jan Van der Graff has been captured and imprisoned by the Sultan he had come to rob. Solo Bolden, the Black Cross of that era, has seemingly been killed. Things are on a distinct slide.

It was only a pitch, but this would have been a very different kind of Rocketeer reboot.
There's so many things that could have been. We could have, for instance, had a Rocketeer 2, if only the first film had performed at the box office the way it was expected to. The Rocketeer is a wonderful little gem of an adventure movie, that, while flawed, certainly could have sustained another movie or two if the timing had been right. It wasn't of course, and its big screen prospects have been dead ever since.

I like the way that although this second story arc for the book, ‘Cross of War’, is obviously it’s own animal, it has directly come out of the groundwork laid in that first 5 issue arc introducing the Black Cross. The Black Cross, if you are late to the party, was/is the enforcer for the Templars, carrying out missions for them and rooting out internal corruption. The Black Cross always has to be from a single bloodline, and the last Black Cross was seemingly shot and killed at the conclusion of the first arc, back in 1920′s Shanghai.
A modern day descendant, Andre Bolden, has been located and via the Animus is helping Templar agents investigate into the past of the Black Cross. This aspect also takes another a little more from old pulp characters. Just as...

New York Comic Con has once again rushed by in a giant, fun, crazy blur, and although I didn’t get to nearly all the things I was hoping to, I did have a rockin’ time and see some really cool things I can share.
The first of these were a few great panels I landed seats for, including, as is my tradition, the Nickelodeon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles panel. If you don’t know I love the current Tmnt, then what are you, new here? But seriously, I love it. And each panel I have gone to brings something new and different.
This panel (with Andrea Romano (voice director), Eric Bauza (Tiger Claw), Kevin Michael Richardson (The Shredder), Greg Cipes (Mikey), Rob Paulsen (Donnie), and Ciro Nieli (Executive Producer)) was particularly fun, because one of the things they did was a live read of episode #420, “The Super Shredder,” which...

As I have written in previous Assassin’s Creed reviews, the Assassin’s Creed universe is one of the richest out there. Although the many games supply a good back story and establish the Assassins Guild/Templar mythology, there is a huge blank canvas there for writers to play with characters, locations and historical timeframes. For this reasons, Assassins Creed has been probably the best game transferred to comic book format ever. This series gave Van Lente a chance to create his own little corner of that universe, and a central character in Black Cross who, as a Templar enforcer, works for the bad guys. Or does he? I love the shades of grey with the Templar Order and Assassins Guild, both of whom believe they are the ones in the right, and both of whom do both good and bad.

The New York Comic Con is upon us once again, and I can’t wait. This year, as usual, I have a massive list of things I want to see, people I want to talk to, and, of course, merchandise I want to take a gander at (not to buy it, of course. Oh no no no! Certainly not, considering I have way too many collectibles already. I’m just going to look. Really. Just…you know, a little bit. No buying here, nosiree…um). There are also a few cool parties floating around…and you know how I love a good party.

Assassin’s Creed: Templars was a welcome addition to the Assassins Creed universe, switching the focus as it did from the Assassins Guild to the Templar Order. As all the books and games have established, neither side are the traditional good or bad guys, both are trying to point the world in a direction they wish it to go. Black Cross, as we learned last issue, is an enforcer for the Templar Grand Masters in the late 1920′s, whose job is to stamp out corruption and dissension within Templar ranks. His look, and the way he acts and talks, owes a lot to the old pulp heroes of that era.

The good thing about the Assassin’s Creed universe is that it has almost unlimited potential for stories, due to the Assassins Guild/ Templar Order feud running down through the centuries. You can pretty much use any era, any country, any historical events you wish. As if that wasn’t fertile ground enough, you also have the moral ambiguity of both sides; neither the Templars nor the Assassins Guild are the ‘bad guys’, both operate firmly in a shade of grey and in fact both believe they are the ‘good guys’. Aptly enough for a series of games, books, comics etc called Assassin’s Creed, most have been content to focus on the Assassins side. This series has decided to shine the spotlight on the Templars, and in particular a Templar called Black Cross.

Synopsis:
Vampirella takes Hollywood in this new adventure of the classic demon-hunting, monster-slaying, thrill-seeking vampire queen. When her stately manor is attacked, she begins to unravel a plot as old as the silver screen, discovering what monsters really lurk in the shadows of the City of Angels.
Review:
So just like this number one issue promises a new start to Vampirella, with an all brand new costume, I too am jumping into the Vampirella world for the first time! That being said, Kate Leth develops a story that anyone can easily work their way into and not feel lost whatsoever.
