Bigger Than Capes #68 – June 2022 Indie Comics Round-Up
With June behind us we’ve gotten together to discuss the first issues of four new series from the month just gone!
Review: Speed Republic #2
“Overall this is a solid second issue, nicely diving in deeper into the world and the central character, which is always a good thing and what a strong second issue should do.”
Review: Speed Republic #1
“Overall this is a first issue that sets up the world building nicely, a straightforward concept but solidly introduced.”

Bigger Than Capes #46 – Suggested Starting Points
This week the four of us are getting together to make some recommendations of where to start if you’re new to comics. It’s a question that’s regularly asked and we wanted to make some suggestions that are less heard and a little newer than the classic starting points for comics. We’re each recommending a series that’s finished within the last […]
Review: Becstar #5
“Becstar is without contest the most fun science fiction comic I’ve read this year.”
Review: Becstar #4
“In every moment it’s a fun ride to be along for.”
Review: Terminal Punks
“The plot is an absolute mess of a thing, and it was hard to care about anyone or anything. If they were making a point I have missed it.”
Review: Becstar #3
“Becstar #3 doesn’t miss a beat, this issue is a fun science fiction adventure that does a great job of filling in some character backstories, while continuing to move forward and introducing an interesting cliffhanger for the next instalment.”
The Pull List 25/07/2021
There’s been a lot of good books out the last fortnight so choosing the Pull List has been hard (we could have had a list of a dozen books ore more). So it didn’t seem too bad to include 8 books. There’s hopefully something for everyone on this list. Whether you like animals from outer space, secret agent ninjas, horror from the future, shape shifting shadows, social commentary, family memories, time travel plotting, or are running form ghosts there’s hopefully something for you here.
Review: They Fell From The Sky #5
“I’d be keen to see some of these characters again so I hope there are more stories in the pipeline.”
The Pull List 20/06/21
Looking back on the past week in comics here are our top picks and recommendations!
Review: Becstar #2
“Becstar has been a legitimate surprise, I wasn’t sure what to expect from the series but what I’ve got is a fun spacefaring adventure that feels like it owes as much to Indiana Jones as it does to Star Wars.”

Bigger Than Capes #27 – May 2021 Indie Comics Round-Up
It’s the end of May and we’ve picked four first issues from the last month to check out! We’re discussing Becstar #1 by Joe Coralo & Lorenzo Colangeli from Mad Cave, Marjorie Finnegan: Temporal Criminal #1 by Garth Ennis & Goran Sudzuka from AWA/Upshot, Jenny Zero #1 by Dave Dwonch, Brockton McKinney & Magenta King from Dark Horse, and Eve […]
Round-Up Review: They Fell From The Sky #1 – #4
“After a slow but steady start, They Fell From The Sky picks up. The script is nicely written and feels age-appropriate for the characters, bringing in bigger themes without dwelling on them more than you likely would at 12. The art is consistent and has enough detail without ever becoming fussy, and combined with the colour palette gives two clear vibes: an Archie comics Americana for most scenes and a “this is sci-fi stuff” when they’re showing space critter tech.”
