Alrightreads: Comixxxxxxxxxxxxx

Justin Richards and Mike Collins, Doctor Who: The Only Good Dalek

2010 / Ebook / 128 pages

**

Not a very interesting or necessary tale to tell, but Dalek action has always been a good fit for comics.


Tom DeFalco, Herb Trimpe and Barry Windsor-Smith, Machine Man

1984-85 (collected 1988) / Ecomics / 96 pages

***

Wisecracking metal men scrap in the cyberpunk future of 2020.


Michael Jan Friedman, Carlos Garzon, Kenneth Penders and Peter Krause, Star Trek Graphic Novel Collection: Kingdom of the Damned

1992 (collected 2019) / Ecomics / 160 pages

**

The one where they turn into Klingons was fun by the series' low standards. Otherwise, it's the usual uninspired plots, lousy likenesses and mild racism.


Peter Milligan and Brendan McCarthy, Rogan Gosh

1990 (collected 1994) / Ebook / 60 pages

**

Incomprehensible aromatic psychedelia.


John Wagner and Arthur Ranson, Button Man: The Killing Game

1992 (collected 1994) / Ebook / 96 pages

****

I don't know if I could stomach a whole series, but it was an entertaining ultraviolent short of a morning.
