Empires are made up of many nations, and Empire Of The Vampire is made up of many fairly easily identifiable parts. The world is mostly medieval France, with a dash of Celt and Norse – because everyone loves those noble bruisers, right?
The story is littered with clichés, from the rebellious hero who ends up rejecting the military-religious order he’s been drafted into, to the beautiful novice nun he leaves it for (there may not be fridges in this world, but you know that the equivalent awaits her), to the betrayals you can spot a long way off. And everything’s laden with references to genitals and breasts to the point of being irritating, so desperate is the book to seem adult.

SUPERMAN: THE KRYPTONITE SPECTRUM
Special K - Asking the important question, “What if a robot had a really big sword?”, this new graphic novel is very much in the tradition of 2000 AD’s punky spirit, even if it doesn’t manage to linger long in the memory.

ALTERED STATES
Essentially Dr Jekyll And Mr Hyde if it'd been written by Carlos Castenada, Ken Russell's characteristically unrestrained take on a script by Network's Paddy Chayefsky is a bracing mix of acid trip visuals and hoary old tropes.
