As I mentioned previously in this very column (yes, you should be keeping up), the Japanese don’t really see Christmas as a very big deal. Certainly not in the same way us god-fearing western nations do, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have a big winter celebration to look forward to as the cold weather […]

Y’all have no idea how ridiculously excited I am to be writing Comicphiles this week. I know we say it every week, but narrowing this list down to just three is honestly impossible. Despite being a self confessed Marvel obsessive,  I tried super-duper hard to include non-marvel #1’s, in my top three this week. Totes swearsies! […]

By now you may have heard of the Steven Universe petition currently circulating the Internet. Fans aren’t asking series creator Rebecca Sugar for more episodes, or specific story, they’re not asking for a movie or live-action series. No, a petition was posted on change.org asking Cartoon Network UK to end the ‘homophobic’ editing/censorship of the beloved cartoon. For the […]

2015 closed a chapter of excellence in the comic book industry with fresh, creative casts of well-established properties and long-awaited arrivals of characters that we feel were well overdue for their own solo series. A testament to the popularity of superhero movies is that it brought a whole new audience casting a light upon the […]

It’s been an age old tradition in the land of the social medias that, as a new year rings in, you completely change everything about yourself as the clock strikes midnight, signing the ever binding contract with the hashtag #NewYearNewMe … or so I’m told. The Marvel comic universe seems to have gotten wind of this […]

2015 was a year full of events. Wars were secret and worlds converged, reboots fought it out every week, Bobby Drake came out, people died, people came back to life, indies snuck up on us, we all fought about Alan Moore and everyone was confused. It’s been one hell of a year and these are five […]

What a year it’s been in terms of music. What a bloody outstanding year. There have been so many good tracks and albums in the past twelve months, with some of my favourite bands releasing new work, surprise newcomers and outliers that I had never listened to before all contributing to make this one of […]

So it’s come to the end of another year! A year of sequels, broken AAA titles and dodgy business practices. The biggest games of the year being sequels to game franchises I have no attachment to, this year was quickly looking to be a fairly quiet one for me. With the leaving cert and my break from […]

2015 has been an interesting year for me, to say the least. I’ve started new paths in my life, made new lasting friendships and of course played a lot of games! It’s been a year of constant change for me, and a lot of it has been spent figuring out what kind of person I am, […]
