I did want to say, for all that I've complained about Ampney Crucis not actually doing any detective work, good God'amighty, YES. This is what I've been waiting YEARS to see. Pages two and three of this episode are completely and totally perfect. I don't know what the hell has taken Edginton so long to get this character going, but this is absolutely how I hoped this series would feel. I can't wait to see what happens next.
Savage and Strontium Dog are also really good, the Dredd would have been good prior to DoC, and unfortunately Red Seas is as awful as it's been for years. Endless talk, stark white pages, no rocket fuel whatever, too many characters, too much stuff in the script that Yeowell phones in and doesn't bother drawing. Tharg could've run a Future Shock this week and let Red Seas skip from P2013 to 1814 and nobody would have noticed because nothing happens in this episode!
I'm still really not sure that we need any more Ten-Seconders, but credit to Tharg for finally assigning an artist who'll make the story coherent and characters look like individuals. If we must have it, at least make it look good.
