This is a classic LA mystery a la Chandler, set in space, and the stakes are getting higher. Characters' hidden motivations are becoming front and center, the autopsy results are throwing more fuel on the fire, and someone has destroyed Simon's pain pills, so withdrawal is impending. As everything is building, the pressure on Simon is getting heavier, and the forces allied against him are getting desperate. Read Full Review

Hadrian's Wall is - at the end - a murder mystery (although it might not be a murder after all), so it is unadvisable to start reading it from issue #2; but I would suggest to find the first issue and start from there: it's worth it! Read Full Review

Overall this title has caught my interest even more with this issue and I am looking forward to finding out the specifics of the crime. Hopefully the creator lineup is left alone for the series, because it is working very well. Read Full Review

Kyle Higgins and Alex Siegel do a fantastic job of sprinkling out the information, as well as giving some high-tension emotional moments, both for Simon when he finds his pills gone, and for Annabelle who reacts as one would expect to her ex-husband questioning her about her dead husband. Rod Reis' art also does a fantastic job of conveying the differing crew members, as well as their reactions to the death – nerves, apathy, anger, and more all play well on the faces of the harangued crew. Add the gorgeous character work to the expected cliffhanger and Hadrian's Wall has me eagerly awaiting the next issue. Read Full Review
