The Friday Review: Rogue Trooper: Future War
By Steve Parker
Out of the mists of the Eighties and the chem-clouds of war-torn Nu-Earth comes a collection of the earliest tales featuring one of the signature characters from British comics juggernaut 2000AD; the Future Warrior known as the ROGUE TROOPER.

The Friday Review: No. 5
By Ben Wooller
A surrealist science fiction fantasy from Japan that draws on some of the best elements of American and European comics art, Taiyo Matsumoto's NO. 5 is more than just a number. Ninth Art joins the chase.

The Friday Review: Top Shelf: Asks The Big Questions
By Rob Vollmar
There seems to be no shortage of art-comics anthologies on the shelves these days, but is there room for one more? Top Shelf certainly thinks so, and with a little help from Robot Publishing, it's put together an impressive line-up to demonstrate the point.

The Friday Review: Green Arrow: The Longbow Hunters
By Brent Keane
Mike Grell's take on Green Arrow is one of the great gritty hero revisions of the late 1980s, recasting the character as a huntsman undergoing a masculine mid-life crisis. But does it still hit the target? Ninth Art takes aim.

The Friday Review: Monkey Vs Robot And The Crystal Of Power
By Frank Smith
Robots and monkeys. It's one of the oldest, greatest rivalries. OK, it isn't, but there sure are a lot of robots and monkeys in comics. James Kochalka pitted them head to head once before, to great acclaim. Now they're back for the encore, and Ninth Art is ringside.

The Friday Review: X-Statix: Good Omens
By John Fellows
When the cult of the superhero meets the cult of celebrity - in a rebranded version of an old Rob Liefeld book - you'd be forgiven for expecting something lowbrow. Of course, with creators Peter Millgan and Mike Allred on board, expectations are certain to be confounded.

The Friday Review: B Krigstein: Volume One
By Frank Smith
Bernie Krigstein is one of comics' forgotten pioneers, his work unknown to most modern readers due to his quitting comics after SEDUCTION OF THE INNOCENT. Ninth Art rediscovers Krigstein in Greg Sadowski's Harvey and Eisner-nominated biography.

The Friday Review: Hellblazer: Haunted
By Brent Keane
The prospect of Warren Ellis on HELLBLAZER may have seemed like a perfect synergy, but Ellis cut short his run following editorial differences, leaving just one major arc behind. Ninth Art gives up this ghost of the series for critical appraisal.

The Friday Review: The Tale Of One Bad Rat
By Steve Parker
Child abuse and homelessness are not subjects to be treated lightly. In ONE BAD RAT, Bryan Talbot not only handles his themes with great sensitivity, he's also created a comic of great intelligence - and importance.

The Friday Review: Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde
By Rob Vollmar
You probably already know Robert Louis Stevenson's classic horror tale, but you may not be familiar with the work of Lorenzo Mattotti. Ninth Art discovers the ideal introduction in this extraordinary literary adaptation.
