Graphic Novels : Black Summer

Warren Ellis' Black Summer is nothing short of a masterpiece and if it had been anything other than a comic, I suspect Warren would be in a dark cell being tortured. Black Summer is a "what-if", it asked a very difficult question around the time of number of global events that changed the shape of American people. Definitely dangerous, but worth a read.

My Gaming History : Space Invaders

Space Invaders(1978)

Space Invaders is not only iconic but was the first arcade game that I ever played. I remember my Dad taking me on a special trip just to put 10p into an upright Space Invaders machine. Strangely as a six or seven year old, what I remember most is the alien pictures on the front and sides of game cabinet.

Graphic Novels : The Losers

The Losers, an elite squad of misfits, sent to every hell hole on the planet then betrayed by their own country. Sound like another A-Team? It should, but these boys have teeth and so does the comic, so much so that it is now a motion picture. I definitely enjoyed the Losers and if the movie follows the characters correctly it should be good.
