Hadrian's Wall #5



Hadrian's Wall, Issue #5 begins five years in the past of the main story, with Simon confronting Edward about the affair he thinks Edward is having with  Terry.  It's a reminder of the story so far.  Now Edward and Simon are on a space station where there's been a murder; Edward is dead.  The title does suffer a little bit from the hiatus between the first four issues and the last four issues, which begin with this comic.  The boarding, the murder, the ex-wife.  It all comes back eventually.

The rebels board the Hadrian's Wall at the end of Issue #4, if memory serves correctly.  It turns out that Edward was working with them but got cold feet.  Simply put, a lot of good comics came out last Wednesday, and while it's a bad sign that I didn't read any of them until today, Monday, I did enjoy being sucked into the world of Hadrian's Wall for 15 minutes.  The creators of C.O.W.L. really put a good issue together.  Maybe I'll read another comic.
