Robo-hunter vol 3: I think someone upthread said this was the best of Robo-hunter and they weren't wrong. The 3 stories in this volume are really rather good - after vol2 I wasn't expecting to enjoy this one at all so this came as a pleasent surprise. Sam was on top form and Hoagy and Stoogie seemed less annnoying than normal, the episode with Sam stuck in the chair was a truly superb piece of writing. Very glad we won't be seeing the Millar era material, having read some of his contributions to the Mega Collection from around this era I can imagine the train wreck and have no desire to actually read it. Much better to let this one end on a high point here.
Slaine vol 4: ignoring the irritation that this is volume 5 and all the remaining Slaine vols are now going to be misnamed (top work Hachette, you get a really slow clap for that one) this was also surprisingly enjoyable. The art suffered from some 90s sludgyness in places, which was a shame, Langley was a definite breath of fresh air in that last story. Pat does get a bit heavy handed with the anti-authority message at points (the worst offender being that 1 off, was it The Return Of The High King? which is basically just Pat on a soap box for a couple of pages). Where you could see what was going on the art was epic and really made these stories work. Actually looking forward to seeing where the goddess is sending Slaine next, which was a surprise as I'd set expectations for this book quite low based on discussions here. I'm a sucker for that style of fantasy art though. Give me plenty of gore, some weird monstrosities and some scantily clad ladies and I'm happy (it might not be PC but tbh I don't really care, it looks great)
