Scarlet Traces has so much going on at the moment that I'm enjoying it but not following all of it. There are characters popping up every few episodes and I'm not sure if I should know who they are or not. I may have to go right back to the very start and read the whole thing as I haven't reread any of it since it first appeared in the Megazine so many years ago.
This is the most I've enjoyed a run of Absalom so far I think. Love the setting, love the art, love that we're going to get a definite ending.
Thistlebone continues to be really good, probably the creepiest new series since Cradlegrave and that's saying something. Davis is so good at faces it feels like watching actors.
Anderson, too early to say. A little recap would have been useful regarding Karyn and I'm hoping Karyn herself gets to develop a real personality rather than just 'PSI Judge/vessel for a monstrous demon thing'. The artwork reminded me of Mick Austen a bit in the mid-range and longshots. I found some of the storytelling a little hard to follow, like the top of page two, other bits like the truck coming to a sudden stop worked well. We'll see where this goes.
Good prog right now, even without Mr Abnett!
