Characters

I love a good fictional character. Some might say it’s unhealthy to spend so much time in the company of people who don’t actually exist, but then they aren’t best friends with James Bond, Captain Jack Sparrow and Sonic the Hedgehog.

Oops, I think it’s time for my pills again.

(Basically this is a catch-all category for anything involving fictional characters because I hate using the word “miscellaneous”.)

Random Guesswork: Doctor Who

Thirteen and the "Ruthless" Doctor

Series 12 has upset a LOT of fans. I think there’s method to the madness. Let’s unpack what’s happened and take a stab at guessing why Chris Chibnall is taking a pair of hedge-trimmers to the canon.

Seriously SEGA, Where’s the Sonic Movie Merch?

Sonic Movie Original Design

SEGA hasn’t seen fit to put out a bunch of overpriced toys to celebrate their new film, so I have the temper tantrum my five year old self would have wanted me to have about it.

Random Guesswork: No Time to Die

No Time to Die comes out this year so I thought I’d put down in words a guess as to how it’ll end that, on reflection, most of the fanbase also probably believes will happen.

The Hungry Games

The Hungry Games

There’s a chap called Brant Steele who made a Hunger Games simulator1. You can play it at http://brantsteele.net/hungergames. I’ve seen a fair few runs of the simulator crop up on Tumblr (the one with Sonic the Hedgehog characters comes to mind) and I fancied a crack at it myself. I…

Ten Years in the Making – the Mediocre Origins of Detulux Incorporated (Part 3)

Detulux Incorporated

Last year I sat down with Sam to discuss our webcomic Detulux Incorporated. We released the first part last year on the ten year anniversary of the comic, and the second part just before Christmas last year. It’s taken this long to properly edit down and add images to the…

Ten Years in the Making – the Mediocre Origins of Detulux Incorporated (Part 2)

Detulux Incorporated

You might not know this, but I write a webcomic called Detulux Incorporated which my recently-engaged fiancĂ©e draws. I used to draw it, but I was doing it wrong so she took over the art duties. Earlier this year we posted up a retrospective of my earlier efforts, and I’ve…

Die Another Day Is the Darkest James Bond Film of All

Die Another Day - Dream Mask

Die Another Day was possibly one of the worst James Bond films ever made1. In attempting to tip a hat and slyly nod to previous James Bond films, it turned into a camp over-the-top monstrosity, bloated with smug performances and a plot that wouldn’t look out of place in a…

Ten Years in the Making – the Mediocre Origins of Detulux Incorporated (Part 1)

Detulux Incorporated

Ten years ago this day, I uploaded a comic strip to my new DeviantArt1 account. It was to be my first foray into producing comics online. Detulux Incorporated follows the misadventures of Mr. Pain, a white-suited bespectacled arms dealer and his team of misfit henchmen and mercenaries as they find…

Manchild at Play: LEGO Batmobile and Riddler Racer (Featuring the Flash, Because Why Not?)

LEGO Riddler Chase 30

I turned 27 this year, officially placing me in the “adult” end of my twenties. So what did I receive for my birthday from my beloved girlfriend? LEGO, of course! Having received a Joker steamroller previously, and also coming into possession of a LEGO version of the Penguin1, the only…

James Bond Isn’t a Timelord

Bond 50 Lineup

As a die-hard James Bond fan, one of the biggest struggles is coming to terms with one of the larger ever-present issues the franchise has: continuity. If that’s a foreign word to you, it refers to how a work of fiction progresses as a whole. For example, Doctor Who has…
