For this edition of Comics 101 I’m going to talk about one of my favourite comic books: Scalped. It feels like the most appropriate moment, since it’s about to become a TV series for WGN. When I read the first two trade paperbacks about six years ago, a friend told me “This is the best […]

Hello, squire. In this edition of Comics 101, I’ll talk about one of my favourite characters of all time: John Constantine (as a brief aside, Constantine rhymes with fine, none of the adaptations got this right).

When it comes to comics you may be, as staff writer Danny calls it, a ‘filthy casual’ so you might only flick through the pages of a comic book once every few months or whenever a particularly viral story arc is all anyone can talk about, but there are certain stories that everyone professing to be […]
