Starting off strong with one of my first and favourite ever graphic novels Batman: Hush. It was published issue by issue from December 2002 to November 2003. The award winning story was written by Jeph Loeb and brought to life by the amazing pencil work of Jim Lee which was then inked by Scott Williams and finally coloured by Alex Sinclair. Jim Lee alone is one of my favourite comic book artists with his amazing renditions of the characters. Besides the beautiful artwork the story and narrative is gripping throughout the entire novel with intense action sequences and compelling backstories to lesser known characters. Also the way the Williams has introduced so many characters into  the plot with out it seaming like to much each having just the right amount to make them relevant to the continuation of the story. To prove my point further here is one of the first lines in IGN’s review  “there are books that offer significant changes in the status quo, good or bad. In either case, fans are certain to go absolutely f—— nuts. That’s what happened when fan-fave writer Jeph Loeb teamed with Jim Lee for the year-long “Hush” storyline. It didn’t just alter the status quo, it destroyed it.”

next on my publication list is the more recent Avengers Infinity war covers to well know magazine Vanity Fair. these covers were published in late November of this year in order to further hype the already massively anticipated 2018 release of the movie. Vanity Fair writes about how marvels decade long story is coming into its final chapters with Infinity war. they interview many of the actors from the MCU one being The Hulk played by Mark Ruffalo who said to Vanity Fair “All good things must come to an end.”

And finally moving away from the comic theme slightly and into the realm of popular television show we have the second season of the smash hit Netflix original Stranger Things. This latest addition to the Duffer brothers show was another hit and a great addition. Both seasons are jam packed full of pop culture references to the era that its set in. That era being the 80’s. The second season scored an impressive 94% on rotten tomatoes                         ” Stranger Things‘ slow-building sophomore season balances moments of humor and a nostalgic sweetness against a growing horror that’s all the more effective thanks to the show’s full-bodied characters and evocative tone.”
