Honourable Mentions | 9 British Comics That You Should Read
I loved working on this series but this was truly a challenge. Unlike previous series where I’ve been able to just talk purely based off memory and opinion, this particular series required huge amounts of research, into different British comics and the history surrounding them. However one of the reasons I love this job so much is that it forces me to do this kind of research and allows me to learn more.
The unfortunate truth is were it not for the internet I likely never would have never been able to find out about a lot of these comic books, as it is a surprisingly niche market in the UK despite the massive cultural history surrounding them.
Comic strips have been here for centuries; you can even find them in collections of old Victorian magazines from across the internet. However when it comes to the modern era, it appears that American giants such as DC, Marvel, Dark Horse and Image are dominating the market here. While 2000 AD and other UK comics are certainly going strong, they don’t seem to be getting the same level of appreciation as the ever popular superhero comics.
As always there are other comics that I could have brought up but didn’t for various reasons. While I touched upon Zenith in my 2000 AD segment I didn’t go into a huge level of depth, in all honesty because I just don’t know a lot about it. 2000 AD probably could have populated this entire list on its own with the amount of classic series that it has run.
There were also quite a few comics created by British duos that I could have included but didn’t, I was worried I would be cheating a bit too much especially with The Killing Joke on my list which I will still argue can be labelled as much a British comic as an American one.
The first is Watchmen. Watchmen was created by a British writer and British artist, however the reason I chose not to cover it is because I have spoken about it quite a few times in lists already and if I’m going to talk about it anymore I want to be able to do a bigger piece on it. There were also other comics like From Hell which I would have saved for this series, had I known I was going to do it at time the time of writing my first recommendation series.
The second is Kickass, which is actually created by a British writer which I probably should have included but just couldn’t quite bring myself to for the same reasons I brought up earlier.
There is a deep ocean of comics not just from Britain but from around Europe too that very much deserve to be read. Which is no way setting myself up for a Bande dessinée article in the future. Now that would take a lot of work.

Even though trophy support for older games on PS Plus Premium isn’t always great, you can always count on Sony’s first-party games to have it.If you like collecting these digital trinkets, you’re in luck, because today’s big PlayStation Plus update includes two classic games that can now be used to earn Trophies.
Each trophy list for Ape Academy 2 and Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror includes the platinum cherry on top. You can look at their respective listings here and here if you’re interested.
The list for Dark Mirror appears to be quite simple—you can basically earn them all by finishing the game. The trophies in Ape Academy 2 appear to be a little more complicated, requiring you to complete particular objectives in card battles and advance to specified rankings. Nonetheless, it doesn’t seem too difficult, so we’re looking at a couple of quite simple platinums.
Ridge Racer: Type 4 is this month’s other premium classic game; sadly, it does not offer trophies. But it makes up for it by being a complete banger.
However, will you be obtaining some of these trophies with a nostalgic flavor?
This year, Sony produced some truly outstanding work, releasing four high-profile games on the PS5 and PS4 (not to mention the numerous PC ports). The earliest of these, Horizon Forbidden West, arrived in February of 2022 and got the year off to a strong start. One of Aloy’s sophomore journey’s greatest strengths, among the many other things we like about it, is its excellent art direction. The Art of Horizon Forbidden West allows you to now delve deeply into the game’s visuals.
This coffee table book, which was published by Dark Horse Books, contains 200 pages of concept art and developer commentary. It provides an inside look at the process used to develop engaging characters and settings, and Forbidden West is certainly not lacking in either.
There will be two editions of the book: standard and deluxe. Both are hardback books, with the deluxe edition having pages with metallic edges and a unique slipcase. These are now up for pre-order and will go on sale on April 25, 2023.
Bloody hell, it took a while, but The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s long-awaited PS5 release date has been announced. The updated role-playing game will go on sale on December 14th, and CD Projekt Red reiterates that PS4 owners can get a free PS5 upgrade.
The “next-gen” game will have a physical edition at a later, as of yet unspecified time.
The next-gen update for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is coming on December 14th, free for everyone who already owns the game.
For more details and gameplay reveal, tune in to REDstreams next week on https://t.co/IpFERTohi9. pic.twitter.com/fg3yfGeNih

Though we still lack specific information about what the current-gen version will offer, don’t worry; it appears that all of our most pressing questions will be resolved soon. Next week, the developer says, will feature a livestream that will feature gameplay and more details. Hence, something to anticipate.
But in all honesty, we’re just relieved that this PS5 edition won’t be delayed any further. Will you play through The Witcher 3 again right before Christmas? Post your thoughts in the section below.
