On a quiet highway in the predawn light, Grace encounters a true test of her empathy and her strength when she comes face to face with the worst aspects of the community she's struggling to take back.
The feds are investigating Briggs Land and trying to figure out if Grace's husband, Jim Briggs is running it from prison, and what is really happening there. Only time will tell what will happen in Briggs Land, and this is just the end of the first arc, State Of Grace. This story is far from done with us, and I cannot wait to spend more time in my anti-government Upstate NY back yard that is Briggs Land. Read Full Review
Briggs Land is definitely shaping up well and I've enjoyed the first two issues and quite like how things are turning out here. The flashbacks are useful for establishing more of the nature and structure of the Land and past interactions, because history is huge and important in this as it shows how Grace will be changing things while trying to get back to the core ideas of it all. Wood keeps things simple on the dialogue side but moves events forward well in smaller and more personal ways. Chater delivers some great artwork throughout and gives it a very distinctive feeling, particularly with how Roughridge is handling the color design with the more striking moments and the run down aspects of the world itself here.

Whether or not a crime syndicate funning out of a separatist compound can really be respectable… well. I guess it's a matter of opinion. Read Full Review
