Spider-Man and Zoids | 9 British Comics That You Should Read

Okay so it’s not quite The New Adventures of Hitler but it is Grant Morrison. Published by Marvel UK, the title, unfortunately, makes this comic seem far more epic than it actually is. Rather than being an amazing crossover in which Spider-Man fights Zoids, it was instead an anthology comic which reprinted Spider-Man comics and the newly created Zoids comic. Mind you Grant Morrison did deliver on some of the best early work you could ever see.
Zoids was a Japanese franchise with a few anime series… and a hell of a lot of toys which featured animal based giant robots that are piloted by people that fight each other.
And it was awesome!
So it stands to reason that there would be comic books based off of the property, and Grant Morrison took the reigns of the original Zoids comics published in Spider-Man and Zoids.
Grant Morrison has the habit of adding a lot of depth in places that you wouldn’t necessarily expect, and what with him growing up in Glasgow during the cold war with fear of total annihilation, it of course came into his work.
Zoids was surprisingly dark and gritty, with a similar kind of grainy science fiction tone that is in a lot of British science fiction, and it played with the idea of the battles being an equivalent to the cold war, with Morrison comparing the red and blue Zoids to red Russia and blue America. However Morrison is probably best known for writing the Black Zoid Saga on this series, which was beloved for being a great almost-finale to the series before it ended prematurely five issues later.
It’s definitely worth taking a look at however unfortunately the comic has never been reprinted, so aside from some torn copies and Grant Morrison’s private stash, the only way I was able to find it when researching was at Zoidstar. It’s all been scanned in pretty good quality. So take a look!

Syphon Filter on PlayStation Plus Premium: Dark Mirror and Ape Academy 2 Have Awards
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?

Beautiful New Book Teaches About the Art of Horizon Forbidden West

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.
