Briton reviewed Harrow County #32 Jul 16, 2018
This has been a great series, and it's a shame it has ended. I had hoped we'd have more tales of Emmy and the haints.
This is it! The final issue of Harrow County! Emmy, with the help of Bernice and the Abandoned, takes on Hester Beck in a war of magic as the hit series comes to a final conclusion.
Briton rated Harrow County #31 Jul 16, 2018
Emmy steps out and confronts Hester once and for all for a final showdown in this penultimate issue!
Briton reviewed Modern Fantasy #1 Jul 9, 2018
I loved it. Bonkers artwork and an original storyline.

The roommates become embroiled in danger when one of their significant othe...
Briton reviewed Lady Mechanika: La Belle Dame Sans Merci #1 Jul 9, 2018
Great art and an intriguing plot. I know nothing about this character, but I'll give it a go.
Lady Mechanika finally has a solid clue to her forgotten past, but the investigation becomes overshadowed by her concern for Mr. Lewis when his behavior suddenly turns erratic and potentially dangerous upon meeting a beautiful and enigmatic young widow. A brand new three-issue mini-series!
Briton reviewed Lucy Dreaming #4 Jul 9, 2018
This had been an entertaining series up to now, but the wheels are beginning to fall off. And of course, men are to blame for the world's problems. It seems every comic I pick up buys into divisive feminist crap,
Lucy and Welsey work together to tear a hole in the dream world into actual reality, despite the very real disasters it could cause!
Briton reviewed Mera: Queen of Atlantis #5 Jul 9, 2018
Probably the best issue yet. Plenty of characterisation and world building in Xebel. I just hope we don't end with the obligatory massive punch-up next issue.
Just as Mera and Orm prepare to fight side by side to save Atlantis from utter desolation, Nereus makes Orm a devious proposal that's hard to refuse: control of the Xebellian army in exchange for Tula's unwilling hand in marriage! Can the Ocean Master really resist the call of the sea? Or will Mera have to fight her own people to help Tula escape a...
Briton reviewed Death Of The Inhumans #1 Jul 6, 2018
Pitiful. A Judge Fear ripoff kills a load of characters no one cares about. And those who are good will soon be back again.
THE TITLE SAYS IT ALL - HERE LIE THE INHUMANS.
The Kree have gone murdering, leaving behind a message: Join or die. Thousands of Inhumans have already made their choice - the evidence floats bleeding in space. Black Bolt and his family are next. Rising star Donny Cates and PUNISHER: WAR JOURNAL artist Ariel Olivetti bring their brutal talents t...
Briton reviewed Batman #50 Jul 4, 2018
I don't know why I keep expecting anything significant to ever change for Marvel/DC characters. It's pathetic.

Briton reviewed Monstress #17 Jun 25, 2018
The previously amazing artwork has fallen away badly over the last couple of issues. It is difficult knowing what is going on with the storyline. It's looking like I'll have to drop this unless it all gets back on track.
The Known World is at the brink of war, and Pontus is being threatened by invasion. While her allies work to save the city, Maika battles old enemies-and the dark truths they bear.
Briton reviewed Black Hammer: Age of Doom #3 Jun 25, 2018

Briton reviewed Tinseltown #2 Jun 25, 2018
Obligatory feminist storyline. What is wrong with just telling a non-PC story? It seems that if you don't build in left wing preaching, you don't get published.
On the other hand, I like the newsprint format and the artwork is ok.
Abigail's first day proves to be a matter of life and death as she finds out that a movie studio after dark can be filled with real danger! Tinseltown is perfect for fans of crime noir stories filled with action and mystery!

Briton reviewed Sword Daughter #1 Jun 16, 2018

Briton reviewed Black Hammer: Age of Doom #2 Jun 16, 2018
I wish they would concentrate on the group at the farm. The Lucy story is not particularly interesting.

Briton reviewed Mera: Queen of Atlantis #4 Jun 11, 2018
This is good. We journey to Xebel and see some of Mera's past, including her granny.Some much needed backstory on Xebel, and some nice characterisation.
