Dust to Dust
Another really badass chapter, moves fast and looks great. Not much room for character stuff in this chapter but the plot implications are big.
Blunt
Nice to see the lead character isn't just a stoic dude with a big weapon. He's kind of goofing around in this issue while (mostly) protecting the group. Also: goddamn this is a great looking book.
Realm of the Damned
Enjoyed the sweary bad ass monarch lady. Not sure I really care about any of this though.
Lawlesss
The inevitable is dealt with quite well (and with a Searchers reference!). There a big THING coming, which is a shame because I liked the smaller scale of the story. Ape riding a motorcycle though.
People Like Us
Written when Brexit seemed a joke and not a nightmare. Features a not-even-slightly-veiled Nigel Farage as 'Bilious Barrage'. Funny, done-in-one, and squarely aimed at the present. Liked this a lot.
Killer
Well this was awful. Gladiator guy in space. One of those comics where someone talks a paragraph while doing a flip. Dated terribly.
Second City Blues
The end of last Meg's collected story. A bit dull and so short that it should have been in the last Meg.
Tharg's Future Shocks: The Red House
Here to fill out the page count. Standard Future Shock - very predictable stuff.
