Reviews
Issue 1
Beginning a series with a 28-page, almost wordless fight scene is a daring move - and Graham [sic] Johnston succeeds in making me wish to read on and find out what this is all about! Perhaps too much fine line cross hatching is used, weakening the art rather than adding depth to it, but it's well paced and attractive enough (5/10)

Issue 3
A rebellious detective tangles with a black ops group and a mysterious occultist when he tries to solve a mysterious slaughter. Gordon Johnston enlivens a straightforward horror setup with enough unexpected twists and deft touches of characterisation to keep it fresh and engaging (6/10)

Issue 5
The conclusion of the first story arc of the Virginia Gallery. Essentially four days in the life of a mysterious vigilante rabbit and the detective trying to track him down in the big city. As a one off issue this will seem a little confusing, but as the final instalment (for now) in a five part series this is a satisfying and well executed piece of work. Well worth reading but I'd recommend shelling out a fiver and reading it from the beginning (7/10)
