I do love a conspiracy comic, the problem is most of them make up a conspiracy but have no back story or substance. Deep State is different. It is very X-Files in its execution and that is pleasing to my corrupted imagination. The cover is stunning and the artwork inside the issue is on a par with the cover, making for a fantastic read. Deep State will not be for everyone, but for a conspiracy nut X-Files fan it really hits the spot.

What a concept. Simon Spurrier has completely shocked me with Disenchanted. Of all things mystical, a basic slum for fairies was not anywhere on my radar and, whilst the storyline of political corruption, greed and violence is a serious one, I found myself endlessly entertained as I turned the pages. The story, characters, terminology and names are as brilliant as they are inventive, and I really wish I'd caught this when it was released online as a web series rather than wait for the paper copy.

The artwork (see above example) is stupendous. It is really clear, full of beautiful colouring and makes a great story jump right off the page at you. Marco Cosentino's panels are a joy and another rarity in my comic reading is that Cosentino's artwork compliments the cover by Stacey Lee that is worth the price of the issue alone.

Mike Dowling's art has been top drawer all series and again in issue 3 there is a dark realism to it you wouldn't find in many other comic books. The panel with Monty being breastfed as a baby crossed with grown up Monty in another sexual congress moment is chilling to see.

Not to everyone's taste I am sure but Monty Nero has managed to get inside my mind and write a comic just for me. I cant believe it but a fifth 10/10 is ordered.

To rate this issue alone would be a travesty. You have to have committed to the other 5 for this superb ending to make sense so the score is for the run overall. Oi Art Department! Wake up I need an eleven graphic.
