All stories by John A. Short so, if you have ever read any of his books or previous issues of Shokwave you know what to expect!
Nosferatu II art by David Hitchcock and I would love to see the original art pages of this -knowing my luck it's all drawn on computer! But each page is just totally insane and busy and that "Final Day" splash page...ooh, the chills! I really am hoping this is going to appear one day as a complete trade but I keep writing that so if it never happens blame me. And that last splash page...uh-oh. Someone is in deep doo-doo! Seriously this is fab!
The Clock Strikes! With art by Adam Jakes is still one I just cannot get into. I write that a day or so after someone told me to "get yer bloody eyes sorted!" which I assume means that person likes this. Fair do's I doubt Jakes would be fond of my artwork😄
Resistors art by Richard Pester actually kicks off this issue but at my age ... hmm. Bit of bondage, a shoot it up (with gunfire nothing drug orientated...you'd think I could write a decent review!). Poor Daisy. No repair job will fix her although having written that I realise I could be made to look stupid in Book 9 (no. John wouldn't do that...would he?!). Lovely colour work.
Anna Key with art by Chris Askham. It's odd that this was the one I was originally not keen on. Age, kids: it's full of rage against anything, more frequent bathroom trips and .... Lost track there. It's delineated nicely and full of colour and humour and guest stars Barry Gibb with his lion's mane of hair....it isn't Barry??? But he has the 1970s Disco white suit!! Whatever, a fun romp and warning about the dangers of universal translation devices.
All-in-all, a good fun read in 48C (I am sat in the greenhouse to prove a point...I can't remember what the point was but that's what happens when you get old kids -you even forget to order Shokwave9 so fight age and prove your youthfulness by ordering a copy today!
I have to get out of this greenhouse.
