Briggs land is an interesting read, presenting as it does, a different way of life and potentially how a government would act towards such a viable case for secession. If America is truly the Land of the Free, why can't a group secede? I do have questions about life in the New Land, how do they buy food? How do they pay for stuff? How does their economy work?How do they know about cell phones (mobile phones to us Brits)? These question are mentioned not as means to decry or debunk this book; they are asked as a sign of respect to a creative team who produced a book that has sincerely piqued my interest. I look forward to discovering the answers along with the further developments of this ongoing story. Read Full Review

Briggs Land: Lone Wolves is an emotional investment in a politically-charged series that is challenging to read and asks much of the audience in the process. Residing in the morally gray areas, Brian Wood's rewards readers with a deeply thought-provoking series that puts the beliefs of one family in the spotlight. I can't recommend it enough.

Briggs Land: Lone Wolves hits a lot of good stuff in a small way here and is set to build into an interesting arc that will likely tie into a lot of what went on in the first series as well. Putting some focus on Isaac is welcome but also on James with the ways he can be drawn into things. Brian Wood has certainly earned trust on the first series and past works to tell a solid tale over the run of a book and I have no doubt of that here. My introduction to Mack Chater in the first series means that I'll likely get into anything he does that's of this kind of grounded variety but it also makes me curious to see what else he's done that's outside of it. That said, I'm super glad to see him back on this run of the book and can't wait to see what else he's going to introduce us to through his designs as the story ramps up in some very big ways.

The politics of this series has been a driving force since page one of the first series creating intrigue and keeping us engrossed in this family's tumultuous life. The art is poetic and lavishly details the settings as well as the characters of this modern Shakespearean drama. I love this series and can't say enough good things about it, however the first issue of this new series was a bit short in the word count for me and because of that I was finished reading it before the gravity of the events had settled upon me that is the only reason I scored this otherwise perfect debut issue of the second series a 4 instead of a 5.

Briggs Land imbues its secessionist parable with a distopic severity, and it doesn't waste time with nuance. The cataclysmic motivations for the issue's unsavory deeds are buried deep. The Briggs don't need a natural disaster to excuse their actions. They are all too ready to get down and dirty to defend what they see as their right to ignore the law. Naturally, when it comes to such topics, your mileage may vary. Read Full Review
