As I said with my first ‘Comicphiles’ I’ve only been able to barely dip my toe into the pool of comics and graphic novels over the last few years. I know from talking to friends and reading reviews that I’ve missed out on some serious gems, but thanks to the power of the Internet, I […]

The Swindle caught my attention when I was looking for something to scratch my itch for a good stealth game.

In the run up to the release of Inside Out, there was a picture that made its way around social media which poked fun at how emotions seemed to be the last thing left for Disney/Pixar to humanize for an animated tale. And indeed, “what if feelings had feelings!?” does seem like one of the […]

Boxing movies follow very simple conventions. Their stories usually centre on underdogs, often surmised by the reliable cliches ‘rags to riches’ and ‘fall from grace’.
