It's pretty cool. Nothing groundbreaking or that original, but fun nonetheless. Plus, I'm always a sucker for a sci-fi story that feels it should be in 2000ad.
Just felt like a lot of nothing, a diversion of questionable purpose where everybody talked way too much.
Rob Sheridan delivers an anti-male virtue-signalling diatribe to add to his collection of cliched and none too subtle messages. I struggle to understand the self-loathing that inspires this kind of drivel. Present day identity and agenda politics (mixed with a heavy-handed plea for policing of speech) from smug authoritarian phoney liberals does not make for good fiction. As a genuine liberal it astounds me that these people are so deluded.
On the positive side the art is good, especially the colouring. It's just a shame that the writing is so poor.
