    All in all, Tom Strong provides an imaginative strong, stand-alone story with excellent characters and an unusual setting. The artwork by Shawn McManus switches from lovely to ludicrous. Read Full Review

    The art on this issue is called upon to deliver two different styles as we have the real world, and than a warped reality where everything is artistically overblown. Now the art works quite well on both fronts as the book opens with a great visual as we're treated to the discovery of a body, and when Tom is pulled into the second reality the art manages to make the change into a visually engaging development. The art also manages to convey the darker elements of the issue's comedy, such as the panel where Tom wipes out a crowd of bystanders. The one-page spread where he restores reality is also amusingly presented. Read Full Review
