• And Ghost Rider and the Savage Hu...
Briton reviewed Infidel #2 May 21, 2018
Racist drivel and extremist liberal propaganda. Oh, and the artwork is awful too.

Briton rated Lucy Dreaming #2 May 20, 2018
Lucy dreams herself into the world of the dystopian novel that's currently all the rage at her school-but instead of being the hero, she's the villain of this particular story.

Briton reviewed Uber: Invasion #13 May 20, 2018

Briton reviewed Maxwell's Demons #3 May 20, 2018
I loved the first issue, and wish we could just have had a linear story developing from it. But no, we have to jump all over the place. Dropped.

"NEW WORLD ORDER," Part Five
The journey home. There's nothing worse than returning with fewer people than you left with.
Briton reviewed Crossed Plus 100: Mimic #1 May 18, 2018
Well, the artwork is decent. The story however is incoherent and only semi-literate. There are also scenes of people defecating if that rocks your boat, along with rape and extreme violence. Avoid.
Crossed is back with a giant-size new series! The world of Crossed +100 was created by Alan Moore and introduced us to an entire civilization and language set one hundred years after the Crossed outbreak devoured humanity.

Briton reviewed Harrow County #30 May 1, 2018

Briton reviewed Mera: Queen of Atlantis #3 May 1, 2018
Much better than the disappointing last issue. We have some much needed characterisation.

This would be good were it not for the wretched artwork.
Trapped in the high-school hellscape's cafeteria, Empowered and Sistah Spooky desperately battle the high-calorie threat of a ginormous junk-food elemental before facing off against a trio of Spooky's vengeful ex-classmates, whose blonde manes have been infernally transformed into head-lopping Weapons of Magical Destruction! Off with their head...
Briton reviewed Black Hammer: Age of Doom #1 Apr 28, 2018
As good as ever, though I do not see why they had to start at #1 again.

Ocean Master, learns of his homeland's fate, he'll stop a...
Briton reviewed Mera: Queen of Atlantis #2 Apr 14, 2018
Somewhat disappointing. Two characters meet. They argue, and it descends into the usual punch up scenario.
As the reluctant Queen Mera continues to work toward a peace between the surface and the sea, her rule is challenged by the former king of Atlantis, Orm the Ocean Master! But Orm is torn between his duty to Atlantis and his love for his new surface family-and both he and Mera will clash over the futures they choose to fight for!
Briton reviewed Tinseltown #1 Apr 11, 2018
A great cover and price. I like the newsprint paper and wish more publishers would use it. The art was quite good but the story was rather a let down, being slow and plodding.
In 1915, Abigail Moore became one of the first female police officers in Hollywood. But beneath the glamorous surface of Tinseltown beats a rotten heart full of corruption, greed, and lies, and Abigail's about to dive head-first into all of it.
