Hadrian's Wall #4



Hadrian's Wall, Issue #4 begins with a flashback to a protest on planet Earth, Seattle, seven years earlier. It then moves on to a re-creation of the possible murder of Edward by Annabelle. There is another flashback, and in the present timeline Simon's situation becomes untenable. It all goes to hell in a hand basket.

The earliest science-fiction mystery I know of is Isaac Asimov's first Robot novel, The Caves of Steel. I have read over 100 of Isaac Asimov's novels and books, maybe close to 200, but I think his best fiction work is as a mystery writer. The first two Robot novels are my favorites. Hadrian's Wall is as full of twists and turns as any great mystery novel. That's why I like it. You really have to pay attention to every detail of the comic, in hopes that one of those details will prove vitally important to the story.
