Loved the cover, always up for a flash of boobie. Dredd was okay, like everyone else im confused as to why dan francisco suddenly smeared on the lippy. Hopefully this isnt just flint being mad, and there's a reason for it. Unlike everyone else im happy to see the sovs back- the apoc.war is decades ago and it's about time we saw a proper follow-up, not just assassins trying to get their revenge.
As i thought, im already skipping ampney crucis- boring, with art that's barly even there. Swirly colours, floating heads and matchstick men do not a comic page make.
Low Life is just glorious, beautiful art and a genuinely fascinating lead in frank. I could read this endlessly. Not keen on Indigo Prime, spectacular drawings but im not pulled in to the story at all. And Angel Zero benefits from being only four pages- a good, old fashioned opener that promises much. I know one of the things about the prog is that it gave strips five or six pages to breathe while other uk weeklies rattled them out in three- but at times the condensed format really works. I hope A0 continues at four pages, and other strips experiment with the format too.
So, one great strip, one good, one promising, one that's tottering on the edge, and one skipped. Put like that, it doesnt look so hot, but i enjoyed it. A middling prog.
