JOHNNIE CHRISTMAS (SHELTERED) makes his début, writing for his own art in "FIREBUG." SIMON ROY returns with tribal conflicts within an O'Neill cylinder in "HABITAT."
Of course my favorite part of “Habitat” is… well, the habitat. When Roy draws a spread it never disappoints; but, because of his visceral drawing style, fight scenes can feel like a real mess. Even when this makes for some hard-to-follow reading, that's not totally a bad thing. When people are murdering each other and destroying machinery and stuff is exploding and people are bleeding, things aren't cut, dry, and neat: they're chaotic. Roy captures that chaos, just a little too well sometimes. Despite how overwhelming some of these sequences are, there is usually a panel or two worth pausing on to appreciate how much detail Roy puts into a single panel, even when the story is moving quickly.
