One-shot

£2.00/$3.99

Well,Andy Winter writes all four stories in this comic and I did wonder what to expect and the titles had me thinking for a while!

“Tim Skinner:Total W*****” is pencilled by Natalie Sandells and inked by Adrian Bamforth.  Obviously I’ll not give away any plots beyond what I have to but stepping into a magic collection of comic strips can have consequences!  Very nice.

“Bummed” was drawn by Duane Leslie and I think says everything about the You Tube generation and some of the morons who get ideas that sadly,unlike in this tale,do not back-fire.  The art works really well with this story.

“Apocalypse? No!” is drawn by Mikey Ball -the Horsemen Of The Apocalypse will never be the same!!!

“Brimstone Bitch” is the longest strip in the book and drawn by Tim Twelves.  It’s probably the weakest strip art-wise,though I’m assuming Twelves is a young [new] artist so considering its length it is not that bad.

I have to wonder whether Andy writes these scripts as he goes or whether he has a backlist of scripts/ideas?  I worry that I’ll wake one morning to find he’s writing CBO!

Well worth buying but remember:this is for mature readers only!
