Every so often a Tony McGee comm-booklet I've had a real difficult agreemement in liking. This is awkward as straight narrative, working as conveying emotion though. As with the rest of the 'frontiers' pieces, it is viewable as stand-alone and places the characters in a difficult or hostile environment and rising. The serials banded phrase "something is coming" arises at climax and brings in a case of hope perhaps optimism for the victim characters. This comm-booklet has pictures on both sides of the pages delicately added to, over a period of time and built solid.

Last night I spent an hour looking at the cover of Issue 4. Tony McGee is one of the finest artists working comic books in the UK by the self-publishing route. His work should be treated as such and it would trouble me if there were no feedback on just how unique this dedication of work.
