“We two have run about the slopes, and picked the daisies fine ; But we’ve wandered many a weary foot, since auld lang syne.” But now we’re back to review Asterios Polyp by David Mazuchelli, Mini Marvels: Secret Invasion by Chris Giarrusso, Scott Pilgrim by Bryan Lee O Malley, Manga Sutra Volume 1 by Katsu Aki and Wheel Spinning Hamster Dead Volume 1 by Alan Maloney. We also talk to artist Stephen Mooney on drawing IDW’s new A-Team comic written by Joe Carnahan and Tom Waltz featuring the new version of the team from the forthcoming movie. We also review the animated fantasy film 9 as well as a round up of the latest comic news from Stephen Thompson announcing his own graphic novel ‘Near Death’ to why Spiderman 4 being cancelled is good news for Thor fans. Welcome back.
