Briton reviewed The Dollhouse Family #3 Jan 23, 2020
Rather disapproving. I really hope we're not going to go into the almost obligatory liberal political territory. This was an interesting story, surely it can continue to be so?
Childhood ends. Children grow up. And young Alice is now a mother herself, raising her daughter alone in 1990s London. But the Dollhouse has never forgotten the promise that she made. The Dollhouse knows where she's gone. And so does Jenny, the ghost of the girl who died in her orphanage...
Briton reviewed Daphne Byrne #1 Jan 20, 2020
Nothing we haven't seen a thousand times before. I'll give it another issue, but this one did not inspire me.
In the gaslit splendor of late 19th-century New York, rage builds inside 14-year-old Daphne. The sudden death of her father has left her alone with her irresponsible, grief-stricken mother-who becomes easy prey for a group of occultists promising to contact her dead husband. While fighting to disentangle her mother from these charlatans, Daphne beg...
Briton reviewed Black Cat #8 Jan 20, 2020
Much better than the last issue.
/8_small.jpg)
• Black Cat and the Thieves Guild are now in an all-out WAR!
• In wars, there are casualties and Felicia needs to get someone she loves out of the city immediately.
• But can she trust THE BEETLE (fresh off her AMAZING SPIDER-MAN supporting role) to help her?
Rated T

Total crap. Give us back the LSH.

This may be yet another female monster hunter series, but it is well done.

But when the Sheriff's department turns their investigation to Erica Slaughter, the FBI is more interested in getting in the way. As the horrified townspeople watch Erica arm herself for a war they can't see, tensions rise to their breaking ...
Briton rated The Dollhouse Family #2 Jan 4, 2020
One time, just one time, Alice did what the Dollhouse asked of her...and it turned her life upside down forever. But that wasn't enough for the House. There's another piece of the bargain that she's reneging on and until she gives it what it wants, the House can make matters even worse...for Alice, or anyone unlucky enough to come near her!
Briton reviewed Action Comics #1018 Jan 4, 2020

Briton reviewed Harrow County: Death's Choir #1 Jan 4, 2020
A welcome return for this title. Despite Bernice's silly 'We can do it" headband.

Briton reviewed Basketful of Heads #3 Jan 1, 2020
An entertaining issue.

June Branch has been hunted, haunted, and desperate; she's got an ancient Viking axe with mystical properties and a severed head in a basket that won't shut up. If she can't make her traveling companion be quiet, maybe she can get some answers out of him...answers that might spell the differ...
Briton reviewed The Low, Low Woods #1 Jan 1, 2020
Identity politics abound, the main characters are annoying, the artwork is crap and the story is incoherent.
Shudder-To-Think, PA, has been on fire for years. The coal mines beneath it are long since abandoned. The woods are full of rabbits with human eyes, a deer woman who stalks hungry girls, and swaths of skinless men. And the people in Shudder-to-Think? Well, they're not doing so well either. When El and Octavia wake up in a movie theater with no memo...
Briton reviewed Lucy Claire: Redemption #1 Jan 1, 2020
Not exactly original, is it? We have the obligatory female led storyline and a group of freaky multi-racial kids seeking a monster hunter. It's all be done before. I'll give it one more issue in case it surprises me.
SERIES PREMIERE
Lucy Claire was once a celebrated hero. But through a series of sinister events, she was slandered and defamed, and her children were taken from her. But when an old danger re-emerges, Lucy will have to take on the mantle of hero once again in order to right the wrongs of her past and-above all else-find a way back to her childr...
Briton reviewed Black Stars Above #2 Jan 1, 2020
It looks great, but the plodding story isn't going anywhere. Dropped.
The storm continues to gestate. Lost in a wilderness known as The Green Ribbon, Eulalie is faced with an impossible decision: return home to a family that has forsaken her, or finish her journey to the northern town to deliver the mysterious package. She must decide wisely, for threats lurk behind every tree and the snow has an appetite of its own.
Briton reviewed Legion of Super-Heroes #2 Dec 21, 2019
Well, this is everything I feared a Bendis LSH would be. Total crap.
Give us back the LSH.

It's good to have HW back, but the artwork is very poor.

Not as good as the last issue.
Hunted to the point of exhaustion, June Branch struggles to outwit and outfight the home invader coming after her. He's armed with a .44 and a secret agenda; she's got a thousand year-old Viking relic and no way to escape.

Briton added Basketful of Heads to their pull list Nov 30, 2019
The rain lashes the grassy dunes of Brody Island, and seagulls scream above the bay. A slender figure in a raincoat carries a large wicker basket, which looks like it might be full of melons... covered by a bloodstained scrap of the American flag.
This is the story of June Branch, a young woman trapped with four cunning criminals who have snat...
