Ichabod Azrael



"The Grievous Journey of Ichabod Azrael (and the dead left in his wake)" is a 2000 AD supernatural western story written by Rob Williams with art by Dom Reardon.
This is part of the intro to the story:
I wish I could tell you that Ichabod's father was taken to drink or discipline by belt and fist. That life immediately treated the boy as it would a loathed enemy. But the way I heard it, his upbringing was a hard but normal one for the age.
I guess some people are just born mean.
Stories vary over when Ichabod first drew the blood of another. I even heard a song one night by a campfire that told how his 'baptism' saw him facing down twenty rifle-packing men on horseback armed with only one pistol.
The next day Ichabod owned twenty new horses....or so the song went.

I love this, there is a real gritty wild west groove going on here.

Truly stunning artwork

Vengeance of Bane!

Look out Batman
The superb "Vengeange of Bane" (parts 1 & 2) are now on sale on Marvel's iPhone App for £1.49 each. It is Banes entrance into the world of the Batman and Gotham, and after Bane was brought up to serve his fathers life sentence at the brutal Pena Duro prison, becoming the toughest of the tough among inmates, Bats better bring his A game. Comic fans will all know the story by know so little point repeating the saga again here. (To anyone reading this who hasn't read Vengeance Of Bane, do so.) I thoroughly enjoyed reading these again on my phone, and the pinch screen to enlarge speech bubbles works well too. The artwork and colours are very impressive, both vibrant and show up nicely.
I had my doubts initially over reading comics and graphic novels on iPhone but im happy to report that these doubts have been suitably tossed aside. Ive read quite a few on it now, including World War Hulk, The Walking Dead and The Bezerker and none have disappointed.
