Paul Campbell Comic Reviews

A brilliantly introspective issue as Deadly Class proves it does teenage philosophy better than anyone

An issue of two halves really. One side good and the other a bit too stupid

An issue with some nice artwork that just wants to shout at you but you've heard it all before

A strong start but it fails to keep up the pace towards the end. Nice art though.

A good issue with strong narrative but an reliance on depressing greys to give it that fashionable gritty feel.

An OK start

Overall a very middle of the road entry to the series but I feel it has to be. It's holding up all the traffic on the road too but I get the impression that's because there's a huge pile up ahead.

A fair start to the new arc

A well paced start to this series.

Dead@17 has never been big on sense but that hasn't stopped it from delivering an ending that I'm sure fans will find acceptable.

A bloody last hurrah before the end that manages to entertain enough to keep everything ticking.

Nothing groundbreaking but nothing wrong either. A fitting conclusion.

An exciting dash to the finish that leaves carnage in its wake. Issue 5 of Dead@17 finds its big boy trousers and delivers on the action.

A great penultimate issue in the second arc which manages to balance the two sides of Deadly Class quite well and only rarely throws away its bipolar meds.

There's enough here to get fans of the series throwing their axes in the air with joy and the ending provokes some interest in the next issue but too often it feels like it's stalling for time.

A fine edition to the series. Still as crazy as a moonwalking terrapin though.

A little piece of teenage nostalgia with some surprisingly beautiful ruminations on growing up. There's also lots of delicious violence as well

A good read for fans of the series and a boring little pile of confusion for everyone else.

A well thought out piece of sci-fi close to be being great. Let down by its characters but not its world.
