Comic: Smirkana


While watching the BBC’s Merlin, I noticed that in the latest season Morgana seems to make her ‘smirk of absolute evil’ quite too often. That lead me to the creation of this comic. © 2010 Dragonsden Comics

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 Review


It’s finally here. Part one of the final Harry Potter movie. It has been almost ten years since I first saw Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, after reading the first few books and waiting impatiently for it to be released. Since then there have been many book and movie releases. After nearly a decade, […]
