The continuing untold early Cold War adventures of Alfred Pennyworth, British spy! Alfred is reunited with one old friend, confronts another, and takes a meeting with his MI6 handler…or it could all be just a hallucination as he runs out of time and freezes to death, alone in the vast emptiness of the frigid north.

    Well, that was quite something. There was a daring rescue, some hand-to-hand combat, and the surprise plot twist that even Her Majesty would have been proud of. If you're sleeping on this series, you need to WAKE UP, catch up, and deal with how good this series is! Read Full Review

    It's an odd hard-sci-fi take on Alfred, putting him in a plot that would make even Batman feel a little out of place. But aside from that, the characterization is actually pretty solid and it's good to see Alfred take the starring role for a change. Read Full Review

    Similar to last issue, I find myself actually wanting to see what happens next after not really being engaged with the first half of this series.
