The third and final book in the Halo Jones ballad is also the longest, both in the actual length of the story as well as the length of time that passes in Halo's life within the tale - the first book was just one day, the second took place over one year, this one covers…Read more The Ballad of Halo Jones: Vol. 3 (1986) – Elliot’s Review

The Ballad of Halo Jones: Vol. 2 (1986) – Elliot’s Review
So, after being introduced to Halo Jones and her futuristic world in book one, we move into deep space for book two as we join Halo on a long-haul cruise-ship floating across the void, and this one turns out a little more exciting than the type of cruise advertised in the National Trust magazine. We…Read more The Ballad of Halo Jones: Vol. 2 (1986) – Elliot’s Review
Batman: The Dark Knight Returns (1986) – Review
Beginning, Returning, Rising, Striking Again... Milo here, breakin' faces n' takin' places. The 80s were a good time to be comics fan... and a movies fan... and a music fan.

Top Ten Graphic Novels (Redux) – Milo

The writing is witty yet realistic, the violence, oh the violence, will have…Read more Kick-Ass (2010) – Review
Top Ten Graphic Novels I’ve Read – Milo

So what better way to kick off a possible Top Ten series than with one about one of my favourite forms of media and the best it has to offer. 10.…Read more Top Ten Graphic Novels I’ve Read – Milo
Mars Attacks Judge Dredd Compilation (2014) – Review
I'd like to start off by stating that Mars Attacks is one of my favourite films. I love Judge Dredd aswell. A crossover between the two, however, seems like a strange, mismatched monstrosity of an idea, the very thought of which sickens me to the very core. But it works, deliciously. There aren't many notable characters from…Read more Mars Attacks Judge Dredd Compilation (2014) – Review
