Audio Review // Eye of Terra: The Final Compliance of Sixty-Three Fourteen by Guy Haley
The Final Compliance of Sixty-Three Fourteen surprised me. Rather than focusing on Horus himself, Guy Haley gives us a planetary governor facing an impossible choice: betray the Emperor or watch his world be crushed by the Warmaster. A short, character-driven story that shows the very human cost of the Horus Heresy. A fitting end to my journey through Eye of Terra.
Comic Review // Predator vs. Black Panther
Some comics are simply fun to read. Others leave your imagination running wild long after you've closed the final page. Predator vs. Black Panther did exactly that for me. With stunning artwork, an entertaining crossover, and enough inspiration to send my mind racing with ideas for Sector 102, this was a comic that delivered on every level. Here's why it might just have inspired my next great monster.
Book Review // Fires of Scorpio by Alan Burt Akers
Stepping outside your reading comfort zone can be a rewarding experience, and Fires of Scorpio certainly did that for me. With pirates, swashbuckling adventure, and Kenneth Bulmer's classic pulp writing style, this Dray Prescot novel reminded me why it's worth exploring older science fantasy. It wasn't an instant favourite, but it was a fascinating read that broadened my appreciation for the genre.
Audio Book // Iron Corpses by David Annandale
What happens after the battle ends? Iron Corpses answers that question by placing us in the boots of an Iron Warriors Warsmith struggling to survive the toxic aftermath of Tallarn. With a fascinating traitor perspective, plenty of tension, and one particularly haunting encounter, this short audio drama proves that some of the Horus Heresy's best stories happen long after the guns fall silent.
Audio Review // The Eagle's Talon by John French
What happens when the Imperial Fists are forced to fight in the shadows instead of standing proudly behind their walls? The Eagle's Talon is a tense, cleverly presented audio drama told through recovered vox transmissions, creating one of the most immersive Horus Heresy stories I've listened to so far. Add in some unexpected moral conflict within the Imperial Fists, and this short tale becomes a real hidden gem.
Audio Review // The Herald of Sanguinius by Andy Smillie
Could I actually be turning into a Blood Angels fan? The Herald of Sanguinius is another fantastic short story from Andy Smillie, proving that you don't need explosive battles to tell a compelling Warhammer tale. Set during the uneasy days of Imperium Secundus, it's packed with tension, character development, and fascinating lore that left me wanting a full novel. Here's why this twenty-minute audio drama made such an impression.
Audio Review // Eye of Terra: Sins of the Father by Andy Smillie
A story may only last a few minutes, but that doesn't mean it can't leave an impression. Sins of the Father offers a thoughtful glimpse into the mind of Sanguinius as he reflects on the strengths, flaws, and uncertain future of his beloved Blood Angels. It may be too short to recommend as a standalone purchase, but for Horus Heresy fans it's a fascinating character piece that's well worth experiencing.
Audio Review // Eye of Terra: Stratagem by Nick Kyme
Aeonid Thiel's journey reaches its conclusion in Stratagem, a short but rewarding audio drama that reunites him with Roboute Guilliman after the events of Calth and the Shadow Crusade. Along the way, we witness the early foundations of the Codex Astartes and the transformation of the red helmet from a mark of censure into a symbol of leadership. It may only be 21 minutes long, but there's plenty here for Horus Heresy fans to enjoy. Here's my full review.
Movie Review: Weapons (2025) – A Modern Horror That Hooked Me
I wasn't expecting Weapons to pull me in quite as much as it did. Watching it on the flight home from the UK to Canada, I was completely hooked by its slow-building suspense, creeping sense of dread, and cleverly woven mystery. With an intriguing modern take on witchcraft and multiple storylines that come together brilliantly, this is a horror film that lingers long after the credits roll. Here's why I think Weapons is well worth your time.
Back to a Galaxy long ago…Star Wars: Dark Droids Review
Can a galaxy full of trusted droids suddenly become the greatest threat of all? Star Wars: Dark Droids takes a surprisingly creepy dive into horror, delivering corrupted machines, plenty of action, and a heartfelt story centred on Lando and Lobot. While it may not leave a lasting mark on the wider Star Wars universe, it's an entertaining crossover with fantastic artwork and a premise that's hard to resist.
I Read Hellboy Out of Order... It's Working. Hellboy: The Crooked Man and Others – Review
I still haven't figured out the "correct" order to read Hellboy... and after finishing The Crooked Man and Others, I'm not convinced there is one. Appalachian witches, ghost pirates, ancient gods and some of the creepiest folklore I've read in comics make this an easy recommendation. It also gave me a notebook full of ideas for Sector 102—which is probably the highest compliment I can give it.
I Read Hellboy Out of Order... It's Working: The Silver Lantern Club Review
I'm still reading Hellboy completely out of order... and somehow it keeps getting better. The Silver Lantern Club swaps Big Red for ghost stories, occult investigators, and one of the most intriguing secret societies I've come across in the Mignolaverse. It might just be my favourite stop on this wonderfully backwards reading journey yet.
Young Hellboy: The Hidden Land – Adventures Begin
Young Hellboy: The Hidden Land is a wonderfully fun pulp adventure packed with hidden ruins, ancient monsters, vampires, and forgotten mythology. Seeing a younger, more curious Hellboy alongside Professor Bruttenholm is an absolute delight, while Scarlett Santiago makes an excellent addition to the growing Hellboy universe. Charming, mysterious, and full of adventure, this is another reminder of why I keep coming back to Mike Mignola's world.

Book Review: Horus Heresy - Master of the First

I Read Hellboy Out of Order... It's Working. | Hellboy and the B.P.R.D. 1953
Before I knew it, I'd accidentally started reading Hellboy completely out of order—and somehow, it might be the best way to experience the Mignolaverse. Hellboy and the B.P.R.D. 1953 drops Big Red into a series of folklore-fueled cases packed with monsters, myths, and just enough dry humour to keep things from getting too grim. If you're wondering whether you need to read Hellboy chronologically, my answer is becoming a very enthusiastic... maybe not.
