New Comics International editor has sent me two spiffy covers for the delayed-but-here-now Comics International #201, which should be on sale soon.
Comics International was sold by Dez Skinn earlier in the year and the administrative side of the handover has been a little more time-consuming than expected, hence the delay in publication
The issue includes a feature on the TV Avengers in comics by myself and Ian Wheeler and there’s stuff on the new 300 movie, plus all the usual news and listings. Oh, and The Really Heavy Greatcoat.
Go buy!
