...as they bring us one of Marvel UK’s biggest stars - the robot-for-hire known as Death’s Head! Just don’t call him a bounty hunter, yes? Join the android assassin in this pulse-pounding collection of his original adventures, from distant dimensions to the far future.

Death’s Head has his sights locked on an array of enemies - and will encounter familiar faces, including the Fantastic Four, the Hulk, She-Hulk and Arno Stark, the ruthless Iron Man of the future! But are you ready for Death’s Head’s mind-bending origin? For that matter, is he?!

Buy this book and stay healthy, yes?

The signing takes place at the London megastore on Saturday 29th February 2020 from 1pm-2pm - if you can't make the signing you can pre-order the book (for £33.50+postage) here

Warhammer monthly comic - issue 1-10, cover artists guide

I never read Warhammer monthly back in the day and have only started picking it up in recent years - it's packed full of well-known (2000AD) creators and plenty of other not so well-known names. 

Anyway, a covers gallery is a good a way as any to act as an introduction to a comic so over the next few weeks I'll show you what the issues all look like. 

First up is issues 1-10...

UPDATED: Keith Burns art for Commando

I first came across Keith Burns art when he illustrated the Titan comics Johnny Red series, since then he's just started illustrating Commando covers and the covers are fantastic. Here's the covers he's done so far...

Commando 5209 - American avenger

Commando 5215 - a matter of honour

Commando 5229 - shadow in the storm!

Commando 5241 - steel inferno

Commando 5251 - Radar raiders

Commando 5259 - Braddock

Commando 5267 - Braddock demons

Commando 5289 - the Wombat and the Tiger

Commando 5297 - fog of war

Commando 5299 - Sladen's promise

Commando 5307 - Stealing Stukas

The complete (?) guide to Warhammer (40k) books

Warhammer monthly (renamed for the last 2 issues of its run as Warhammer comic) ran from February 1998 until December 2004; Inferno! magazine ran from 1997-2005. Both have the Warhammer (40k) universe at their heart and both featured comic strips (although more in the monthly than in Inferno!) - these strips have been reprinted in many different formats subsequently. What follows then is my attempt to list all of these reprints.
