Life in Auchterladle starts to settle down for Hughie, and with the return of an old love there may even be a ray of sunshine for our young hero. But into Eden comes the serpent, as Joe Tupper and the monstrous Big Sarah set about their bloody business. And just when things are looking up, a new arrival throws Hughie's world into chaos yet again...
This miniseries has been massively below the standard I expect from the parent title. It is offering a slight piece of importance to the overall tome Ennis is crafting, though it's taken until the last two pages of the third issue to really get to this place. There are enjoyable moments -- do I need to mention a cobra-esque tapeworm again? -- and the rest of the pages are pleasant, but they're just not required reading. So far, it feels like you could skip this mini and be fine. If you get it, you'll have a fun time, but it's like dating the twin of your girlfriend, but the one who has the lame eye. It's fun, kind of, but you'll always want your true love. Read Full Review
