JOHNNY RED // A COUPLE OF HEROES by Garth Ennis (w) Keith Burns (a) Jason Wordie (c) Rob Steen (l)
A lot going on in this part of the story - the majority being up in the air. There is some fantastic battle scenes, and the artwork and frantic storytelling mesh well. Johhny Red seems to be at an impasse, and this may mean bad news for his mission.
DREDGER // MOTHERHOOD OF THE WOLF by Garth Ennis (w) John Higgins (a) Sally Jane Hurst (c) Rob Steen (l)
A dark story with some excellent storytelling going on. The effect on children with violence is evident here, and this builds the tension up well. I love the art, with a black and white style and some excellent use of colour in muted tones.
