The Friday Review: Red Rocket 7
By Wil Moss
Comics can't be the new rock 'n roll; we're not done with the old one yet. Ninth Art dusts down the vinyl for MADMAN creator Mike Allred's sci-fi travelogue through fifty years of popular music.

The Friday Review: The Authority: Under New Management
By Brent Keane
One of the defining comic books of recent years, THE AUTHORITY became a victim of its own notoriety. With a relaunch approaching, Ninth Art looks back on two stories from the first volume's creative teams.

The Friday Review: Harlequin Valentine
By Ben Wooller
Light the candles, pour the wine, and stick some Al Green on the stereo; Ninth Art gets in the mood for love this Valentine's Day, with Neil Gaiman and John Bolton's modern retelling of a classic theatrical tale.

The Friday Review: Fables: Legends in Exile
By John Connors
Are you sitting comfortably? Then we'll begin. But don't expect a happy ever after for the heroes of your bedtime stories. Bill Willingham's high concept whodunnit for Vertigo is no fairy tale.

The Friday Review: London's Dark
By Nick Brownlow
The spirit of the Blitz isn't the only spirit conjured in James Robinson and Paul Johnson's recently republished late 80s graphic novel. It's an historic tale from a very different period in comics history, but it still feels fresh today.

The Friday Review: Enigma
By Ben Wooller
Peter Milligan. Duncan Fegredo. Superheroes. Sex. These days, you'd think it was a Marvel title, but this classic series comes from the days when Vertigo wasn't so shy of subversion in spandex. A mystery? A riddle? It's ENIGMA.

The Friday Review: The ABC Warriors: The Black Hole
By Brent Keane
Nihilism, psychodrama, intolerance, and huge blazing gun battles. Ninth Art looks back at a robot comic that won't bring you an ounce of shame, featuring Pat Mills at his razor sharp best, and a stunning career debut from artist Simon Bisley.

The Friday Review: Alias
By John Fellows
Mature readers crime fiction. Marvel superheroes. Together at last? If it can be made to work, then Brian Michael Bendis, creator of POWERS and the current writer on DAREDEVIL, is the man most likely to succeed.

The Friday Review: Ring Of The Nibelung
By Rob Vollmar
We're calling it the best bookshelf comic of 2002, and as Rob Vollmar attests, P Craig Russell's paper opera is also one of the most staggeringly beautiful comics ever produced. Ninth Art introduces an epic fantasy every bit as spectacular as Tolkien.

The Friday Review: Punisher: Circle Of Blood
By Brent Keane
Brush away the holiday gloom with a burst of gunfire and a splash of blood. Ninth Art looks back on a book borne out of 80s politics that, though a victim of editorial interference, still holds its own as a classic.
