The jury's out until we see our hero Sebastian Wetheral in action in a chapter that isn't just setting things up, but as far as a first chapter goes in terms of setting the tone, I thought this was a success. Coveney's black-and-white horror styling is a welcome replacement for the recent departure ofAbsalom, yet again showing the great sense that these editors have for putting together an anthology and maintaining its balance. I'm excited to see more of this series, and hope to see Coveney really strut his stuff once the shit really hits the fan. Read Full Review

-- JUDGE DREDD // ENCELADUS: OLD LIFE: Things are getting out of control rapidly, I can't believe the judges resort to napalming themselves.
-- HELIUM // PART ELEVEN: Another cool, cooky flying machine.
-- THE ALIENIST // THE HAUNTING OF HEX HOUSE: A weird and welcome new strip.
-- OUTLIER // DARK SYMMETRIES: It's over, yay!
-- JAEGIR // TARTARUS: Jaegir wraps here too. This strip started out good but I didn't care for the ending.
-- OVERALL: This prog fell short, but hopefully things will pick up as we switch up the featured stories.
