Домен
hexagoncomics.com
Состояние доменного имени
?
Проверяем корректность доменного имени и наличие технических проблем на уровне домена.
Длина домена велика. Но если вы продвигаете запрос, входящий в название домена, то это хорошо.
Домен второго уровня идеален для продвижения.
Ответ сервера
200 Успешный ответ
HTTP-код ответа и цепочка редиректов
?
Код 200 — страница доступна. Коды 3xx — редиректы (цепочки замедляют загрузку и размывают ссылочный вес). Коды 4xx/5xx — ошибки, поисковик не сможет проиндексировать страницу.
Сервер настроен корректно.
Безопасность
Сайт безопасен
Использование HTTPS и SSL-сертификат
?
HTTPS — обязательный стандарт. Google и Яндекс отдают предпочтение защищённым сайтам. Отсутствие SSL или просроченный сертификат ведут к предупреждениям в браузере и снижению позиций.
Не настроен HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) — рекомендуется включить.
На сайте работает защищенный протокол ssl и сайт открывается по https.
Ssl-сертификат действителен до 09.01.2027 2:59:59.
Поздравляем! Сайт не содержится в реестре РКН.
Кодировка
utf-8
Кодировка символов страницы
?
Стандарт — UTF-8. Неправильная кодировка вызывает нечитаемые символы и мешает поисковику корректно распознать текст страницы.
Указана кодировка на странице utf-8.
Язык
en
Атрибут lang в HTML-теге
?
Атрибут lang (<html lang="ru">) сообщает поисковикам и браузерам, на каком языке написана страница. Помогает при ранжировании в региональном поиске.
Язык документа указан явно: en.
Скорость загрузки
~1,35сек
Время отклика сервера (TTFB)
?
Time To First Byte — время до получения первого байта от сервера. Норма до 200 мс. Медленный отклик ухудшает пользовательский опыт и ранжирование: Яндекс и Google учитывают скорость страниц.
Скорость загрузки сайта 1,35сек превышает 1 секунду. Желательно улучшить работу сайта!
Объем документа
115Кб
Размер HTML-кода страницы
?
Слишком большой HTML замедляет парсинг браузером и сканирование поисковым роботом. Рекомендуется не более 200 Кб.
Объем html-документа 115Кб оптимален.
Структура html-документа корректна.
Ресурсы
Ресурсы: 7
Внешние ресурсы страницы (CSS, JS, изображения)
?
Количество и тип подключённых ресурсов влияют на скорость загрузки. Большое число запросов увеличивает время рендеринга страницы.
Кол-во файлов ресурсов 7 достаточно.

HTTP-заголовки ответа сервера
?
Заголовки сервера передают браузеру и поисковику служебную информацию: кеширование, безопасность (CSP, HSTS), сжатие (gzip). Правильная настройка ускоряет загрузку и повышает защищённость.
Найдены серверные заголовки 5шт. Подробнее про серверные заголовки.

CMS
Lauyan TOWeb 8.1.3.813
Система управления сайтом (движок)
?
CMS — это движок, на котором работает сайт (WordPress, 1C-Bitrix, Tilda и др.). Знание CMS помогает понять возможности SEO-оптимизации и подобрать подходящие инструменты. «Не определена» — вероятно, самописный сайт или нестандартная сборка.
В мета-теге generator указано: Lauyan TOWeb 8.1.3.813.
Веб-сервер
Apache
Программное обеспечение сервера
?
Веб-сервер — это ПО, которое отдаёт страницы посетителям (nginx, Apache, IIS, LiteSpeed и др.). Определяется по серверным заголовкам ответа (Server, X-Powered-By и т.п.). «Не определён» — сервер намеренно скрывает эти заголовки, это нормальная практика безопасности.
Сайт работает на веб-сервере Apache.
Мета-теги Готовность: 32%
Title
Reviews
Заголовок страницы в браузере и поисковой выдаче
?
Title — главный SEO-заголовок страницы. Влияет на CTR в поиске и ранжирование. Оптимальная длина: 50–70 символов. Ключевые слова — ближе к началу.
Необходимо увеличить число символов в title (текущее значение мало: 7, минимум: 25, оптимально: от 40 до 45)
Дублей словоформ в title не найдено.
Description
Reviews
Описание страницы в поисковой выдаче (сниппет)
?
Meta Description — текст под заголовком в выдаче. Напрямую на позиции не влияет, но влияет на CTR. Оптимальная длина: 120–160 символов.
Необходимо увеличить число символов в description (текущее значение мало: 7, минимум: 80, оптимально: от 120 до 130)
Мета-тег description совпадает с title! Внесите правку в title или мета-тег description!
Keywords
Список ключевых слов страницы (устаревший тег)
?
Meta Keywords не учитывается Яндексом и Google для ранжирования с 2009–2012 годов. Заполнение не обязательно, но не вредит. Конкурент может использовать содержимое для анализа.
Установите мета-тег keywords!
Канонический Url
Указывает поисковику основную версию страницы
?
Canonical (rel=canonical) предотвращает проблему дублей страниц. Должен точно совпадать с URL проверяемой страницы. Неправильный canonical может передать ссылочный вес на другую страницу.
Рекомендуем прописать канонический Url.
Robots
Ошибок нет
Директивы для поисковых роботов на уровне страницы
?
Meta Robots управляет индексацией конкретной страницы: index/noindex — индексировать ли, follow/nofollow — следовать ли по ссылкам. Noindex полностью исключает страницу из поиска.
Meta-тег robots не указан. Страница свободна для индексации.
Адаптивность
width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0
Настройка масштабирования на мобильных устройствах
?
Тег viewport (<meta name="viewport">) сообщает браузеру, как масштабировать страницу на мобильных. Стандарт: width=device-width, initial-scale=1. Отсутствие — признак отсутствия мобильной версии.
Meta-тег viewport со значением-константой width=device-width задаёт ширину страницы в соответствии с размером экрана.
Meta-тег viewport со значением initial-scale=1.0 определяет масштаб 1:1, т.е. «не масштабировать».
Разметка OpenGraph
Не найдено
Мета-теги для красивых превью в соцсетях
?
OpenGraph (og:title, og:description, og:image) управляет тем, как страница выглядит при репосте в социальных сетях и мессенджерах. Отсутствие OG-тегов — невзрачный превью при шеринге.
Разметка OpenGraph не задана. Страница не оптимизирована под социальные сети. Мета-теги с разметкой Og помогают социальным роботам лучше структурировать Ваш сайт.
Все мета-теги
Кол-во: 5
Полный список мета-тегов страницы
?
Таблица всех meta-тегов, включая нестандартные. Позволяет найти опечатки, дубли и лишние теги.
Найдены мета-теги 5шт. Мета-теги не видимы для человека и предназначены для обмена информацией между веб-страницей и поисковыми системами, браузерами и другими веб-службами. С ними роботы 🤖 и устройства ведут себя более ожидаемо.

Структура
Ошибок нет
Семантические HTML-элементы страницы
?
Проверяет наличие основных структурных элементов: nav, header, footer, main. Корректная семантическая структура помогает поисковику понять архитектуру страницы.
Структура документа корректна (теги <html> и <body> присутствуют по одному на документ).
Контент
Есть ошибки
Объём и качество текстового содержимого
?
Анализирует объём полезного текста на странице. Слишком мало — страница может считаться малополезной. Слишком много — ухудшается читаемость и восприятие.
Слова из title 1 встречаются в тексте редко. Добавьте в контент страницы слова из тега <title>!
Абзацев с текстом 427 достаточно.
Среднее число слов в абзаце 33 достаточно.
Кол-во знаков контента 77792 на странице оптимально.
Кол-во слов 14254 на странице оптимально.
Заголовки
Ошибок нет
Иерархия заголовков H1–H6
?
H1 должен быть один и содержать ключевой запрос. H2–H6 описывают подразделы. Пропуск уровней (H1 → H3) и несколько H1 — типичные ошибки, снижающие понятность страницы для поисковика.
На странице присутствуют заголовки <h1> 1. Это прекрасно.
На странице присутствуют заголовки <h2> 1. Это хорошо.
Тошнота
10
Насколько одно слово доминирует в тексте
?
Классическая тошнота = √(частота самого повторяющегося слова). Норма до 7–8: текст воспринимается естественно. Выше — поисковик может счесть страницу переспамленной.
Тошнота превышает норму 5. Измените текст страницы!
Академич. тошнота
19,13%
Насколько текст перенасыщен ключевыми словами
?
Академическая тошнота = (частота слова / общее количество слов) × 100%. Показывает долю конкретного слова в тексте. Норма 5–15%.
Академическая тошнота превышает норму 5-15%. Измените текст страницы!

The cover by Moritat I love. That scene has played out in the minds of most fantasy gamers over the decades -come on: barbarian versus skeleton warriors!</em></p><p><br><em>Some nice text pieces with some photos and to make sure no one gets confused there are notes to indicate between which issues of Kabur stories take place. Thierry Mornet in his introduction notes that Kabur has become embroiled in adventures and scenarios his creator, Claude-Jacques Legrand had likely never envisioned even with the legendary Italian artist Luciano Bernasconi!</em></p><p><br><em>Everything is kept tidy both in characterisation and continuity by Lofficier and so far he has not failed to impress -even when it comes to the Arianrod story where the art style is not my favourite being more cartoony -competently drawn but a style that has never really impressed me.</em></p><p><br><em>As for art styles well, this one has a lot.from the detailed and wonderfully drawn Nightmare Island where Jay shows off what he can do to Manuel Loayza's Demonsmith with its interesting use of grey tones. Ratera's art on Wrath of the Moth God is incredibly detailed and strikes you straight away. The contrast between his style and the previous strips works well.</em></p><p><br><em>Nestor Vargas Campo then draws The Tarot of Kabur is a fine traditional style with stipling and other techniques it is good to see in use. Sebastian Garcia draws the King Kabur story, in which Kabur does not appear but Miramaze does. Not so heavy on the use of solid blacks but it is one of the best strips herein.<br>Luis Esitia Ayala opens The Reaper almost in Frazetta style. For giant spiders, ape men and more of Miramaze alongside Kabur Eduardo Garcia delivers the goods in The Punishment and as with a couple of the other artists he uses tones and I've not seen that used much in recent years other than in Manga.</em></p><p><br><em>David Lafuente brings us the Young Kabur story; very clearly delineated and , again, nice subtle use of tones alongside the black and white art.it is that story that leads into Arianrod which I want to make very clear is not bad artwork. It is well drawn but just not in a style I like but then it is a style that is popular. It's cute and Ican see a younger reader enjoying it but what do I know?</em></p><p><br><em>All-in-all this is a very nice volume and just goes to prove that not all barbarian characters are Conan rip-offs -buy a copy and see!</em><br><br></p> <

The story is good old heroic action and a good read with each of the artists producing the good art I've learnt to expect from Hexagon Comics. It's difficult to review a book like this without giving too much away and spoiling it for a reader -the blurb above says it all really and I cannot find any negatives here at all. Looking at this and the other Hexagon Comics it reminds me of the great promise that Martin Lock's Harrier Comics showed in the 1980s.

So that is what he looks like!" Nice especially since a good number of these creators are no longer with us. There is plenty -plenty- of artwork as well as stripwork. You get to see the "generation 1" creators -the originators- and "generation 2" the new blood that are taking Hexagon into the 2020s!<br><br>It is always a very nice surprise when you have been reading and collecting comics as long as I have to find new characters, creators and comics. I know that there are other old companies around the world but how many ever feature in books or even online?

I was dealing with another computer breakdown and glanced at the cover of this book and next thing I knew I had forgotten the PC! The art, especially by Berger, is superb. This is what Harrier Comics could have been. The art is so smooth and detailed and the printing quality is so good that panels pop out at you.<br><br>I will be honest with you: I have only been really excited three in the last few decades when it came to new comics. Once was in the 1970s with Seaboard's Atlas Comics and the other time was in the 1980s when Archie brought out its Red Circle Comics and the 1980s Hong Kong Jademan Comics. Since then things have just plodded along. Is it weird that at my age I am now getting so excited by a new (rejuvenated) line of comics? Please do yourself a favor and try a copy of this book.

Now the stories are good and they maintain a good continuity, pace and use action where it should be used which may sound odd but writers who are not that good often use the "I'll throw a fight in here!" trick. Now I have been reading comics a very long time and to me the stories here reminded me of Marvel at its Silver-Bronze ages best but also when Archie Comics brought back its Red Circle line in the 1980s. In other words fun and enjoyable.</em></p><p><br><em>The art. Well, not a single complaint there. Firstly, the use of negatives (black and white) by the artists is spot on. It's all well balanced and there are a few examples of how artists misuse b&w and get the balance very wrong. The figures are well drawn and the scenes set and drawn well. There are times that you read a comic or book for review and you stop and ask yourself "Should I be enjoying this? Why aren't I finding anything bad here?" Rather like Cinebook, Hexagon Comics maintains a standard where, on reviewing books you cannot find anything wrong with them. These are enjoyable and considering some of the "art" going into the big two tiltes these days these books are a treat for the eyes.</em><br><br></p><p><a href="http://hoopercomicart.blogspot.com/2021/11/hexagon-comics-hexagon-group-2-hexagon.html" id="lnk46-DvesDPIe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">link</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong><a href="shop-homicron-strangers-origins.html" id="lnk17-DvesDPIe" target="_blank">HOMICRON </a>#1</strong></p><p><em>Strangers had an English language six issue run through Image Comics a few years back.

Now this one ought to appeal to comic fans who are into super heroes but have not tried a Euro comic. A cosmic super hero, evil aliens –it’s got the lot. The art on the original strip I liked so I was dreading getting to the up-dated stuff –some times there’s a bit of visual jarring when you get used to the original art and suddenly there is a new artist with a new style. In fact, the new style works and there was no visual jarring to confuse my old mind. Italian artist Lina Buffolente created Homicron in 1972 and is one of those Italians working in comics that we in the UK never hear of (there were Italian artists working in UK comics). Lofficier and Dzialowski revamping the character works well and explains why I’ve seen images of a male Homicron and a female Homicron!

Yes, no mobile phones or computers and those are elements you could take out of any modern story as convenient plot short cuts.

And Star Knight is a series I’ve heard of but never seen –very funky! Dick Spade? Well, could you be more inclined to investigate – Dick Spade screams out private detective but I guess it’ll work for an investigative journalist! So how does all of this fit into the Strangers Universe? If you can wait a few days, no seriously, you DO have to wait, I’ll tell you. I really do despair that these books are not in UK shops –are they in US comic shops? They really should be. Perhaps Hexagon Comics need a bigger presence at UK or US comic conventions because then comic buyers can see what they are missing and with the UK really embracing European comics now maybe a liuttle nudging won’t hurt!</em></p><p><a href="https://hoopercomics.wordpress.com/2011/06/11/hexagon-comics-jaydee/" id="lnk44-DvesDPIe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">link</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong><a href="shop-kabur-1.html" id="lnk43-DvesDPIe" target="_blank">KABUR</a> #1</strong></p><p><em>“Long before the destruction of fabled Mu…Eons ago, in an age of swords and sorcery, there arose a great champion…whose legend became…The Saga Of Kabur!” With a hook like that can you go wrong? No. I loved the John Buscema Conan’s and, as I wrote, got the first Kull comic but I’m not a major barbarian comics fan. But this is far more. The stories are full of good characterization, plot twists as well as some great action involving swords, bows, fists and, oh yeah, monsters and dastardly villains inter-mixed with sorcery. Young Kabur was fun and the art style worked well. In fact, the whole comic is full of lush black and white work -I think that many young artists could learn a lot from this if they intend to draw comics. I’m not sure whether I’ve written it before (I may have knowing me!) but Jean-Marc Lofficier deserves a great deal of praise for bringing these French classics to an English language readership.

Escapism and I get to see a lot of comics that fail at this. It is odd that the looked down on publishers such as Kult and Hexagon produce the most entertaining books.

So it has been interesting reading these Kabur books where the character is "new" -at least to me. Following Berger's art comes Peniche and his style of solid black and white and clean line art. Philippe Xavier's cover had led me to think that this would be over the top muscle man action which it really isnt and I know that the cover art is the sort barbarian comics fans go for -it also used to sell lots of videos and DVDs!

Lady Falconer is some villainess...or must we call her a "villain" now? Whatever, it is a good read. The Peniche portfolio has some lovely solid black and white artwork which catches the eye. Guavara's portfolio of pencil work is enough to make anyone drool -all of the fine detail that will be inked over but...</em></p><p><br><em>When those pages appear in The Jewels of Cing-Kor Sandoval uses not just solid blacks but relies heavily on grey-toning which can be a big mistake. In this case he has obviously mastered the use and to great effect. The stories are, obviously, well written and thought out and action paced carefully. Kabur has developed from a less filled out character in the old stories (some may argue) to a much more complex one. I think most people who have never read Sword and Sorcery stories just assume its all evil wizard and "Ugh! Smash bad man!" barbarians (that does seem to be a belief). If you want good art, good stories and to see a well characterised "barbarian" and his adventures then Kabur is a series for you!</em><br><br></p><p><a href="https://hoopercomicart.blogspot.com/2025/03/hexagon-comics-kabur-7-jewels-of-cing.html" id="lnk75-DvesDPIe">link</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong><a href="shop-kabur-8-the-bride-of-olyazabad.html" id="lnk87-DvesDPIe">KABUR #8: THE BRIDE OF OLYAZABAD</a></strong></p><p><br><em>I liked the stories and everything was "just right" in this one and as for the art by Perez. Wow. I make no apologies or excuses for writing that the female characters are true old school sexy (as sexy as ink drawings can be). Don't get me wrong -Kabur looks great and as though he had been through a thousand battles (well, 2-3 dozens battles maybe) and looks every inch the barbarian adventurer and Perez also imbues the secondary characters with their own looks.<br>The black and white artwork with some cross-hatching (Old school me holds back a tear) and some Letratone (or whatever the 2025 equivalent is) and the balance of negatives (black ink and white panel) is spot on and very effective and I would assume Perez has some classical artist influences (he'll spoil it and say "no" -you watch!). </em></p><p><br><em>This book made me even more enthusiastic for Kabur and the last two pages -following the guest appearance of Tanka in The Jewels of Cing-Kor- hints at a certain title I am getting a tad excited about reading -but you will all have to wait for that one.

You were waiting for this one, right? Well, a hundred pager for under $15 dollars in 2025 is pretty rare and what a treat -notice Roy Thomas's name there?<br><br>Campo's art on The House of the Green Priest is wonderfully detailed with an almost fine pencilling quality and his fight scenes are rendered superbly. Looking at the work I would say that if it were coloured it would lose a lot of its edge and this story is a good example of how black and white can sometimes out do colour comics. Castro's art in The Heart of the Elephant is nice and clean and just as admirable as Campo's. Bao is also an interesting character but so are Nevlak and Sebho so maybe future appearances?</em></p><p><br><em>Then we come to what I personally see as the best Story The Curse in which Peniche's artwork quite literally drips with old style horror comic art. Dark and broody to accompany a story that, despite being based on one by Kipling, has so many unique touches and I loved it. A barbarian horror story. In case you are wondering which Kipling story this is based on it is Rudyard Kipling's "The Mark of the Beast" from, I believe, 1890? The story tells of Fleete, and Englishman who desecrates an Hindu temple and is cursed by a leper priest (who else?) and is transformed into a wolf-like creature.The battle with the cultists as well as Kabur's fight to save Wonjin (standing in for Fleete) and the eventual inevitable fight between man and beast... spot on.</em></p><p><br><em>The Ring of Jhinjael also has a horror angle with vampires and Kabur has a new ally in Osk -a huge talking lion. Peniche again delivers great art that suits the story to a "T" although "V" might be more appropriate considering the vampire angle!</em></p><p><br><em>The stories and dialogue are spot on throughout and if you wanted to get just one Kabur issue to see if it met your tastes I would say buy this one and l;earn a lesson: never get drunk and desecrate a temple. It ain't good for you.

The story and concept works really well and I would like to think that a company like Thomson or Rebellion could do this type of thing but so far old characters used by Rebellion have been rebooted and Americanized. What Hexagon have done here is to prove that with a good writer who knows all of the characters and a good artist you can make an interesting comic featuring kid heroes. Of course, you have to have the best dastardly villains, too!

I think it shows how an opinion can change!</em></p><p><br><em>The paperback had a bonus back up -of a previous Phenix in Paris story but the new edition has a Preview of Phenix in Strangers 2.1 by Alfredo Macall. The larger format does look better because -obviously- it's easier for an old fart like me to take in and look at each page anew and I am presuming in the format it was originally published in. From Bernasconi, Louis and Berger the art is good -lovely black and white work that is a treat. The stories keep you reading and as evidenced by the fact that I was comparing both formats and totally forgot and was hooked into a story (in the smaller format!). Aged comic reviewers are human, too!</em></p><p><br><em>I like the production and contents. Do I prefer the paperback or new format cover? Both are great but I think the new version fits the book.

As always the story and characterisation are good (probably why Lofficier is not working for Marvel or DC!). There are a few "rough edges" to the art in the Phenix stories but they are nothing horrific and do not deter from the overall look and feel of the strip -sort of Modesty Blaise + and I am a big MB fan. But the stand out strip in this book is Stephane Roux's Sibilla and with the colour work of Karine Boccanfuso it is a treat for the eyes. Very slick and the type of art you might expect in a French comic album. I've actually read and then re-read the strip just to take in the art which after all is what comics are about. And that cover made me think "Wow" when I saw it. It shows that comics can still wake up these tired old eyes!</em><br><br></p><>

It's all stylish and 1970s looking and it is comparable to some of the exquisite black and white work we used to get in the old British comic weeklies when we had an industry. Cannot fault the art in any way. I also realised that it had a feel of the old 1970s TV series Ace of Wands about it so extra points there for bringing that memory back. There is plenty of mystery, deception and intrigue and the story is still a good read. In fact it reads almost as a screenplay, not surprisingly. Really hope people give this book a chance as well as the other Hexagon books as they are hidden treasures and published for the first time in English -not everything has to be Marvel, DC or Image!</em><br><br></p><p><br></p><>

A character is set on a path and then without warning ..another pops up and the story continues but there is an introduction of some kind so that you know who the newcomer is. A good example of this was DCs All Star Squadron in the 1980s written by Roy Thomas and thses Golden Age characters would pop up and someone would say "I've heard of you" followed by their story if not origin being revealed. It's that kind of fun read. Anthony Dugenest, a creator in his own right (Le Patrouilleur) works on the colours in this book and his colour style is recognisable.
