Bigger Than Capes interview: Cavan Scott
We at Bigger Than Capes are big fans of Cavan Scott’s creator owned work and Angela was lucky enough to interview Cavan about Shadow Service, The Ward and Dead Seas, with a few tangents here and there.
Review: Barbaric Hell to Pay #1
I’m so glad to be back in the world of Barbaric. All these volumes run into each other building up an epic story that doesn’t skimp on the characters at the heart of it. There’s some interesting developments of older plot threads and to have such strong continuity is a bonus as the world feels so fleshed out. I am excited to see what happens next in this arc.
Review: Black Cloak #1
Do you like crime solving characters faced with a murder set in a mythical style world? Then odds are you’ll like Black Cloak.
Review: Quests Aside #5
It’s been a really fun series with humour, action and heart. Characters you care about and want to see more of.
Review: Art Brut #2
In the second issue of Art Brut we delve deeper. There are a lot of heavy concepts going on but they are explored solidly and in an interesting way.
Review: The Book of Shadows #3
“Cast your minds back if you will to summer last year. It was the height of August and Valiant’s supernatural heroes had banded together to take on Exarch Fane who had The Book of Shadows and was wreaking havoc, death and destruction across the earth…”
Review: Time Before Time #19
This is an issue where the investment we’ve had in seeing Nadia reunited with her family has really paid off.
Review: Bloodshot Unleashed #4
“This is a good Bloodshot issue in a short run that is the best take on the character for years. It’s pays homage to the established character with the more thoughtful outlook whilst also delivering on action and violence. It’s a book that deals with trauma, doesn’t shy away from PTSD whilst also delivering classic comic book action. That’s not always an easy balance but is successful here.”
Review: Art Brut #1
“As introductions go it’s solid and I think works as a first issue. I’m willing to step further into the painting to see more of Art Brut.”
Review: Lower Decks #3
The big question is does this final issue both live up expectations and end satisfyingly? It does indeed! It’s also crammed full of the usual references to all things Trek, plenty of humour, actual illusions to science and Boimler in a cape. There’s also action, space battles and computer hacking sentient holograms. Phew.
Review: Kaya #2
I really enjoyed this issue, probably more than the first one. This just felt like it was more assured, more comfortable with the world. That’s how a second issue should be and isn’t always. Kaya though is doing the right things. I’m looking forward to more.
Review: Bloodshot Unleashed #3
This is a solid third entry. Each issue has brought something new to the table, added to Bloodshot’s character and that is certainly true here as well. Having X-O guest star was a solid choice, bringing a new dimension to Bloodshot in the process.
Review: Deadliest Bouquet #3
This third issue feels like things are settling into their stride. The focus on the family, the dynamics of family works really well. This is where the potential of that first issue really seems to take off. The central murder mystery I am sure will be back but hopefully this importance of family will also be carried through as it works so well.

Review: Time Before Time #18
It’s been great to have something that readers can recall from previous issues brought back and fleshed out. There are developments in the world going on beyond just Nadia and Tatsuo.
