    Is this just a cynical attempt to recapture the sales success of AoA? Although it can't possibly be as bad as the sequel...

    OTOH I do enjoy what-ifs and AoA was great in its series of character redesigns. Marvel have some talented folks putting out books at the moment, it would be great to see a top-down revamp of the entire line, if only to see what would stick.

    Age of Apocalypse was a great time series. I remember the time well, when Joe Mad adorned the cover of every second book and we as collectors finally turned our backs on foil covers and wrestling comics (thank god!).

    There does seem to be an element of AoA to this and with the return of Apocalypse to shelves early next year we'll have to see if your prediction is on the money!

Naoki Urasawa's Monster is widely regarded as being a manga masterpiece so it should come as no surprise that the anime incarnation is just as fantastic. Ten years after it's initial release, the series is finally being released in Australia by the good people at Siren.  "What would you do if a child you saved grew up to be a monster? An ice-cold killer is on the loose, and Dr. Kenzo Tenma is the only one who can stop him! Tenma, a brilliant neurosurgeon with a promising future, risks his career to save the life of a critically wounded young boy named Johan. When the boy reappears nine years later in the midst of a string of unusual serial murders, Tenma must go on the run from the police who suspect him to be the killer.

OPINION/REVIEW: The Red Rising Saga and the Problem with Postscript Partworks

-

The following contains spoilers for Red Rising, Harry Potter  and Scrubs. --- The series we must now refer to as the Red Rising Saga  - as opposed to Trilogy - is the very definition of a mountain work: its peak is in the middle and its slopes are either side. It starts simply enough: in a near-future dystopia, where society is ordered into a hierarchy of Colours, young Martian mining expert Darrow is a lowly Red. With his fellow labourers, Darrow mines valuable gas for the war fleets of the Golds, the top of humanity's new privilege pyramid. Having dreamed of toppling the hierarchy and bringing his downtrodden people up into the light, Darrow is offered a chance to do so through a risky process of death and rebirth, shedding his Red identity and being surgically altered into a Gold. Inducted into the system of humanity's elite, Darrow must then survive the wilds of Mars in a long, bloody trial to determine which House he'll be placed with, which will then deter...
