Ennis is known for the likes of Preacher and Marvel’s Punisher. Wolfer has worked on Crossed, the Night of the Living Dead and Gravel. I think that rather sets the […]
Steampunk Iron Man cake

Amazon suspend SimCity downloads, blaming EA
In an unusual twist Amazon have suspended downloads of SimCity and issued a warning about EA’s servers.

Agatha H and the Clockwork Princess review
Agatha H and the Clockwork Princess is the second book in the Girl Genius series. It picks up the action from the Airship City as Agatha attempts to get home and there’s already a lot going on. Little wonder the novel is twice as long. The first thing the Clockwork Princess proves is that the […]
